오츠쿄(大津京)의 비극, 텐치천황(天智天皇)과 아리마왕자(有間皇子)

Abstract

Many of the 4,500 songs of Manyoshu show songs set in historical events. In the mid to late 7th century, when political events occurred in Manyoshu, there were big events that moved the order of East Asia. One of them was the fall of Baekje and Goguryeo by the Nadang allied forces, and Japan moved the capital from one place to another for fear of invasion by the Nadang allied forces. Also, the reformation of politics by the DaikanogaeShin, which occurred in 645, has caused a major change in the history of Japanese politics. One of the most important figures was Prince Nakanooe, who later became Emperor Tenchi. The song of Manyoshu, which began during the reign of Emperor Jomei, is set in various political and historical events. This historical event was projected into literature and remained a song by Manyoshu. Emperor Kotoku eventually dies in 654 at the age of 59, and the tragedy of his son Prince Arima begins. The tragedy of the two princes, Prince Nakanooe and Prince Arima, ends with the suicide of Prince Otomo of Jinshinnonan in 672. The end of Tenchicheonwang, which later ascended to the throne splendidly to Tenchicheon, but eventually killed Prince Arima, ended up with the death of Prince Otomo, the son of Emperor Tenchi, just as Prince Arima died. It was in Otsukyo that the political scandal ended. This paper, in the midst of the events surrounding this historical background, tries to outline the songs related to Prince Arima in Manyoshu and to the death of Emperor Tenchic. We will also look at the historical significance of the center, which was the historical significance of Otsu.
