Abstract

<p>In court literature there are many stories of love and sex which not pornographically but metaphysically represent sexual desire in term of predestined fate. Such a fatalistic outlook on sexuality existed not only in ancient Japan but also ancient Greece. This paper will reconsider the problems of sex and gender with an apparently incompatible combination of the latest queer theory and the ancient idea about sexuality.</p>
