  A Tale of Flowering Fortunes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
A Tale of Flowering Fortunes (Eiga monogatari) Annals of Japanese Aristrocratic Life in the Heian Period Tr.
Eiga monogatari is the story of the Fujiwara clan at the peak of its power under Michinaga (966-1028), the greatest Regent of all.
The translation includes the first 30 chapters, which are usually considered the essence of the work and excludes the "dry, immitative chronicle" that follows it.

"Eiga monogatari (A tale of flowering fortunes)" is a historical tale of the 11th century.
It is also the first of the rekishi monogatari genre, which are fictionalized or embellished accounts of historical events and figures.
Eiga was translated into English by Berkeley's professors, William H. and Helen Craig McCullough.

Along with "Sisters of the Gion"(1936) and "Osaka Elegy"(1936), "Zangiku monogatari" is a strong candidate for Kenji Mizoguchi's finest pre-war film.
It is one of the greatest and most beautiful films I have ever seen - a profoundly sublime, heartbreaking love story between a Kabuki actor(Shotaro Hanayagi) and working class servant (Kakuko Mori) who makes sacrifices to herself to ensure his theatrical success.
The final sequence alone is among the finest in all of cinema.

Eiga monogatari (Tale of flowering fortunes) is a history of life in and around the Heian court from 889 to 1028, focusing on the Fujiwara family and especially on Michinaga.
Eiga monogatari becomes a biography of Michinaga and of those around him.
Since his family was the most powerful in the nation, and Michinaga moved rapidly up to the top, his story and that of his family is also the story of the Japanese court.

monogatari, a tradition marked by extraordinary spirituality and relying on a well-developed theoretical and practical poetics.
eiga, in fact, is central to not a few studies of ‘historical tales’ [see Matsumura, p.
eiga was due, according to many Japanese researchers, precisely because it was associated with the kind of flourishing and glory that was related to possession of full power, that is, it fitted Fujiwara Michinaga perfectly well.

Although Eiga monogatari is widely known, the implications this eleventh-century text presents for the understanding of Heian conceptions about historical writing, and of the relationship between women and history, have not been investigated fully.
The authorship of Eiga has not been proven, but many scholars agree upon Akazome Emon as the most likely candidate.
Even if Akazome were not the author, there are passages that portray a woman as the work’s narrator, despite the presence of many kanbun texts (of historical and religious nature), thought to be the domain of men.

Although authors of later historical and military tales (rekishi and gunji monogatari) do not seem to have bothered, as Kobo Daishi did, to figure out where they stood on the kalpic scale, their books suggest that kalpic thought lay at the base of their assumption of continuous decline.
The authors of the Eiga Monogatari and Okagami, in which the life and times of Michinaga aroused feelings of nostalgia, seem also to have been Pure Land believers.
But the Eiga brings Michinaga's life to as highest point of splendor as he, facing a statue of Amitaabha, continued to chant Amitaabha's name right up to, and beyond, his last breath.

Similarly, studies of the Kumano pilgrimage in the Heian and Kamakura periods tend to focus on the large, elaborate processions of royalty or of members of the high aristocracy.
In addition, Tamefusa’s account underscores the deliberate nature of Heian travel: astrology was a major determinant of the parameters of his pilgrimage, and careful advance planning was required to ensure access to food, shelter, and supplies while on the road.
In Eiga monogatari, the accounts of Jotomon’in and Retired Emperor Go-Sanjo’s separate visits to Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine, Sumiyoshi Shrine, and Shitennoji in 1031 and 1073 respectively say little about what actually happened once they arrived, but offer an evocative picture along the route, allowing us to recreate the actualities of 11

 Ryu abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The reader can indeed be transported to Heian Japan, while savoring from the sumptuous literary plate proffered by Dalby's novel of 420 pages the delightfully mixed flavors of the time-honored Heian classics--Genji monogatari, Murasaki Shikibu nikki, Makura no soshi, and Eiga monogatari, just to name a few.
Yet another kind of enjoyment can be had from Dalby's novelistic rendition of Heian splendor and Murasaki Shikibu's life, once the reader becomes keenly aware of how Dalby utilizes, subverts, and expands the grand narrative that has been governing the reified Heian textual and ideological fields in Western scholarship over the last century.
The Tale of Murasaki, a chronicle of Murasaki Shikibu's lifelong obsession with her Genji monogatari, is Dalby's own way of settling the age-old controversy that has troubled the Japanese cultural imagination over the centuries: how was Murasaki, a mere woman, able to produce such a masterpiece?

Such was also, no doubt, one of the figures which decorate the temple of Amida at Hojoji (destroyed by fire at the beginning of the eleventh Century), according to the Eiga Monogatari: it was “the image of the lotus seat of the nine degrees”, and “that appeared to be the Descent of the Blessed One”.
A large picture of the Kamakura epoch, preserved in the Konkai-komyoji (kyoto), shows in its central panel the Amida triad coming behind the mountains, while two other panels represent the three superposed worlds: hells, earth and Paradise.
104 - 105, a quotation from the novel Eiga Monogatari, whose action is placed about the end of the tenth Century: “At the moment (time) of the Bodai ceremony, in the Urin temple of the Mitsuji monastery of Ro-Kuhara, the ceremony of the Descent of Amida is also celebrated”.

Japanese idol culture certainly has its fair share of fans outside of Japan, and its sheer oddness undoubtedly explains a large part of this appeal.
It's an enjoyable ride, but with its glib, gag-laden plotting unfolding and backtracking down an ever-expanding maze of narrative side alleys and cul-de-sacs, there may be just as many finding themselves scratching their heads halfway through and wondering where the whole thing is going as those revelling in this gaudy fantasy world.
