Abstract

Gotobain (1180-1239) and Li Yu {937-978) had similar monarchical careers and interests. Gotobain contributed to Japanese literature through the revival of waka poetry and the compilation of the Shin Kokin Wakashuu. On the other hand, Li Yu, as the last emperor of the Southern Tang dynasty, focused on the creation of Song poetry and exerted a great influence on Chinese literature. Both men faced significant political threats and experienced tragic fates. In terms of their life similarities, their anguish and sorrow are reflected in their works, particularly after their exile and house arrest. This paper compares Gotobain's poem Entoo Hyakushu written during his exile and Li Yu's works from his house arrest in the Song dynasty. The focus is on Gotobain's portrayal of his furusato (homeland) and Li Yu's description of guo (country). It also examines the works of other failed monarchs, such as Emperor Godaigo and Huizong of the Song dynasty, in order to gain a deeper understanding of their unique characteristics.
