Abstract

In this essay I will consider a couple of the dream tales in which Minamoto-no-Yoritomo appeares (one in Manabon-Soga-Monogatari, the other in Heiji-Monogatari), in relation to the background of the legendary story that he was the Saint Rokujurokubu in his previous life. In Enkyobon-Heike-Monogatari Yoritomo is said to be the ruler of Japan, then a composite nation of the sixty-six (rokujuroku) countries. Perhaps this number of countries gives a clue in interpreting the dream tales as well as the legend.
