Abstract

<p>Sode-no-mikasa is a pseudo-classical story allegedly written by Asada-Yuzuki, a scholar of classical literature in the late Edo Period. The story is about a woman attendant at an emperor's seraglio, and it borrows heavily both in content and style from the “Kiritsubo” part of Genji-mono-gatari. But there is something topical and original in it because some characters are modeled after actual persons such as Emperor Kōkaku and his chief attendant Higashibōjō-Kazuko.</p>
