應神記의 構想 -宇遅能和紀郎子와 大雀命의 자리매김-

Abstract

In the "Kojiki", the big change to the method of the succession to the Imperial Throne is seenbetween 2nd and 3rd volume. That is, two different methods of succession between brothers and paternalsuccession. Ujinowakiiratsuko passes away suddenly, without acceding to the throne, thoughcommissioned the next generation Emperor from Oujin. Although this structure is the same also as the"KiKi" on the whole, there are the four differences. First, although birth of Ujinowakiiratsuko is told inthe column of Emperor Oujin by the marriage in connection with god, there is nothing to the"Nihonshoki." Although it is shown to the second by the "Nihonshoki" that he mastered learning ofConfucianism, such description is not visible to the "Kojiki". In the "Nihonshoki", he commit suicide forOsazakinomikoto. However, in the "Kojiki", it is to have passed away suddenly in the meantime. Finally,although his younger sister is Emperor Nintoku's Empress in the "Nihonshoki", it is not related with the"Kojiki" to Nintoku, but gives an account as having become as single by it. It seems that suchdifferences are the problems in connection with the difference in the meaning which Ujinowaki andOsazaki in the "KiKi" bear. In the context of the "Kojiki", Ujinowakiiratsuko which looks external with ahero is only a supporting player in fact, and, therefore, the back always shows the high evaluation toOsazaki. Putting the above together, in the "Kojiki", Osazaki is positioned as an existence equipped withConfucian thought at the same time it receives a mythological guarantee. In short, the person imagewhich has these two requirements was told to the end of the 2nd volume. And Nintoku which had thesetwo requirements is considered that becoming the ideal Emperor of the third volume is shown.
