国宝『源氏物語絵巻』断簡に関する一考察 ― 場面選択の方法を中心にして ―

Abstract

At present, the national treasure “Genji Monogatari Emaki” has only one Fregment of painting and nine Fregments of Kotobagaki. Previous studies on the national treasure “Genji Monogatari Emaki” were carried out on the study of writing style and the work of “Wakamurasaki”, which was recognized by Akiyama Terukazu in 1977. However, the research in the composition of the whole work, especially the scene selection, has not been done yet. Therefore, in this study, the scene part in the Fregment was extracted from the monogatari work and compared / reviewed with the works of Genji-ekotoba and the later Genji-e. As a result, in Fregments of this work, it was confirmed that most scenes except Hotaru are independent scene selection, unlike categorizing scenes adopted by the Genji-ekootoba work group and the later Genji-e work group. Although above results of these studys were defined in the Kashiwagi Group and Sawarabi Group of the National Treasure “Genji Monogatari Emaki”, this study showed that such trends appeared throughout the work. Moreover, in the context of the scene, in contrast to the results of research that the selection of scenes by Genji-e traditionally portrays moody scenes regardless of the story, the National Treasure “Genji Monogatari Emaki” considers monogatari development and content, which was painted as a scene composition that expresses the theme of Monogatari well. In this way, this paper aims to examine the aspect and method of scene selection by focusing on the scene of the National Treasure "Genji Monogatari Emaki", which was not mainly considered in the prior art.
