Abstract

<p>The aim of this paper is to interpret the 4229th-4237th poems in the nineteenth volume of Manyō-shū in terms of the place where they were actually rendered. Indeed those poems can be analyzed spatially enough to reconstruct the scene of the New Year’s festival at the provincial office of Etchū in the third year of the Tenpō-shōhō Period. Especially the 4233rd poem written in the form of a party song conveys a vivid image of the festival which was held to pay a tribute to the service of district managers called “gunji” who gathered there for New Year’s greetings to the Emperor.</p>
