Abstract

What did the women poets of the Heian and the Kamakura Periods think of the family system? Or how were they defined and involved in the essentially patriarchal system? In the Heian Period, as Ise-no-Tayu and others did, they could still express a matriarchal notion of family in their works. In the Kamakura Period, however, women poets had begun to be caught in the male-centered family system, and their conception of "family" had become more patriarchal. As will be shown in this essay, the earliest instance of this shift is Abutsuni.
