Abstract

This study examines Keisei UtaZyamisen(1732) and HuryuUtaZyamisen (1733) succeeding to EzimaKiseki’s first novel KesiseiIroZyamisen(1702) as Shamisen‐mono. We focused on the earning money‐motive, since the earning money‐motive was applied to KesiseiIroZyamisen. Finally, we found that both works described a red‐light district and the troubles related to the money as KesiseiIroZyamisen did. Particularly, both works described the merchants and the samurai, which gives us the key to understanding the economic reality of those days. That means the samurai had difficulties like merchants because of the economic atrophy. We could also understand that both works described not only the romantic love of men and prostitutes but also the economic reality,which indicates that the importance of the two works is the storytelling of the economic reality of those days.
