Description

The setting of Nanso-satomi-hakken-den is the eastern Kanto district of the fifteenth century. In reading the tale it is very important to understand the historical background both of the place and of the age. At that time Satomi, the lord of the Abou province, defeated Gamata-Sudo and expanded his territory into the Kazusa province. With the central power in Kyoto at his back, Satomi survived the great battles among the eight provinces and finally united them under his well-ordered government. Any tales originated in the eastern outskirts of the Kanto district had been since told and written to some degree in relation to the great unification. As will be shown in my article, Takizawa-Bakin's work, although written about three hundred years afterward, can be placed within the context of the local history.
