Abstract
In this paper, examines the meanings that family, the sparrow, and the gourd seed hold for the “六十斗の女” and the “隣にありける女” in the tale “The Grateful Sparrow(雀報恩事)”(3-16) from the Uji Shui Monogatari. Drawing on annotations from previous studies, it also analyzes the internal states and fundamental conflicts underlying the actions of these two characters. The gourd seed represents a miracle gift=juho(呪宝) from another realm, which brings fortune only to those who deserve it; otherwise, it causes harm. The “六十斗の女” who selflessly cared for the injured sparrow, gained wealth from the seed. In contrast, the “隣にありける女” who abused the sparrow driven by greed, suffered negative consequences. However, the “隣にありける女” acted desperately, driven by a desire to gain her family’s approval, while the “六十斗の女” displayed coldness toward her neighbor, complicating a simple distinction between good and evil. Thus, these two women become fundamentally opposite characters only when viewed through the existence of the sparrow.
