Description

Kozaisyo didn't write an answer to Michimori's love letter, and Nyoin who is her master commented to her that she was too strong-minded, and thus her attitude reminded people of Ono- no-Komachi. It was said that as a result of having rejected the masculine, Komachi had lived a pitiful in her old age in the Japanese tales of the Middle Ages (11c-16c). Or they said Komachi who had been a harlot was a reincarnation of the Kannon Bodhisattva, and in these tales, she had been portrayed as a sort of messiah. However, their logic is that of a masculine community where woman has been put to silence. Kozaisyo and Ono-no-Komachi have been shunted into this masculine logic. Kozaisyo was accounted as a faithful woman in the Heike-Monogatari, because of having thrown herself into the sea after Michimori's death, but in the common sense of the Middle Ages it was thought that a pregnant woman who killed herself would have gone to hell. We can see the possibility that Kozaisyo may have gotten a spell of relief from the masculine community, if we can connect her to Ono-no-komachi who had become the Kannon.
