説明

"Tsurezuregusa" is an essay written by Yoshida Kenko (ca. 1283-1352) in the late Kamakura period. Providing momentum for the revival of classical literature which grew in the early Edo period (1603-1868), "Tsurezuregusa" was studied and annotated by court nobles and other educated people in the cultural salons presided over by the cloistered Emperor Gomizunoo (1559-1680). With the rise of the publishing culture, these annotations became the subsequent source material for many printed editions and resulted in many books and annotations. Especially during the Jokyo and Genroku periods (1684-1702) , more than 13 editions, including illustrated editions, were published and proved widely popular among the townspeople, making "Tsurezuregusa" a classic literary treatise known to all. Previous studies have pointed out instances in which the illustrations of "Nagusami-gusa" (1652), one of the printed editions of "Tsurezuregusa," became the source of illustrations for Nara ehon, and for this reason, it is extremely important to pay attention to the illustrations in the printed editions of "Tsurezuregusa." This paper aims to analyze illustrated woodblock prints produced mainly during the Genroku period (1688-1704) up to the first half of the eighteenth century and examine what kind of scenes were illustrated, what the source of these illustrations was, and what kind of readers were the target audience for them. The analysis of the text, annotations, style of illustrations, and painted scenes reveals that "Tsurezuregusa" evolved from being a scholarly or didactic book to being more of an entertaining read as time went by. The various innovations in the illustrations suggest that the publishers were aiming to attract new readers, such as women, children, and novice students gathered at the terakoya (temple schools). The Genroku period was also a time when the literature, culture, and rituals fostered by the court nobles brought epoch of culture to the samurai and merchant classes. In response to the needs of the times, new readers enjoyed the refined culture of the imperial court through the classical literature of "Tsurezuregusa" (Essays in Idleness).
