石山寺를 둘러싼 서사구조의 변모 －『源氏物語』에서 『夜の寝覚』로－

Abstract

This study looks into the literary role of Buddhism which appeared in the literature of Heian periods with the keyword called ‘Ishiyamadaera.’ In other words, the opinions on ‘Ishiyamadaera’ which is expressed in the later piece of Monogatari are analyzed by setting up a keyword ‘Ishiyamadaera’, a place of Avalokitesvara which was famous at that time. The Ishiyamadaera’s recreation from ‘the holy place assuring miracles’ to ‘literary place’ can be seen throughout this study. To achieve this, it analyzes the distinct features of the story by finding related examples in every genre. Ishiyamadaera which could not take a big part in ‘Genji Monogatari’ compared to Hasedera plays a significant role in the later piece of ‘Monogatari’ which is denigrated as a pastiche of ‘Genji Monogatari.’ It specially plays as an important role in “Yorunonaejamae’ whose writer, Sugawarano Dacasaenomusume, wrote ‘Sarashina’s Diary.’ This means that it is used as a term which all refers to the escape, pregnancy, delivery, and a newborn daughter of the main character. This is regarded as a setup based on her yearning for ‘Genji Monogatori’ (shown in her diary), especially having to do with the female protagonist, Ukifune. Sugawarano Dacasaenomusume repeatedly expresses her yearning for Ukifune throughout the diary. However, in ‘Genji Monogatari,’ Ukifune shows her denial on Hasedera’s miracle even though it saved her life. I think it is the setup along with the legend of ‘Genji Monogatari’ being created in Ishiyama by Murasakishikibu that made the writer of “Yorunonaejamae’ select Ishiyamadera as a new background for her story. In this respect, it can be thought as a key factor for Ishiyamadaera’s meteoric rise of literature in the later piece of ‘Monogatari,’ opposing to the indifference in the former piece of ‘Genji Monogatari.’
