Abstract

<p>Compared with studies of poetical writings, those of prosaic writings like novels, narratives, and dairies seem to be only marginally treated. Even Tosa-nikki is poorly evaluated as a prosaic text although it has been almost prejudicially much studied as a poetical work since Kino-Tsurayuki came to be regarded as one of the greatest poets of early modern times. This paper will suggest that Tosa-nikki should be not poetically but prosaically read and studied in order to more adequately understand it.</p>
