		Session 109: The Discourse of Exile in Heian and Kamakura Japan
		By situating the Taketori alongside contemporary law codes as well as the tale’s fictional precursors, I argue that the story—concerning a princess from the moon consigned to a term on earth because of an earlier transgression (tsumi)—must also be viewed in the framework of early Japanese narratives of exile.
		In imagining the world of the court as the peripheral locus of the princess’ exile, and in portraying an emperor, military, and aristocracy virtually powerless before the celestial moon beings, I argue that the Taketori employs the exile motif to comment subversively on the situation at court at the time of its composition.

		The Emperor Meiji died in 1912 and the Taisho emperor took the throne and thus began the Taisho Era.
		The Emperor Saga (reigned 809 to 823) started the tradition of giving the name `Minamoto' to the sons and sometimes brothers of emperors and then casting them free, as new families, separate from the imperial court.
		Thus, the Daigo-Minamoto are descendents of the Emperor Daigo and the Uda-Minamoto are descendents of the Emperor Uda.

		One of the extremely leftist newspapers, consistently opposed to retaining the Emperor in power, published an interview between one of its correspondents and a spokesman for the "Kumazawa Emperor," a grocer in Nagoya who claims to be the legitimate heir to the throne.

	Medieval Narrative: Medieval Vernacular Literature in Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		During this epoch in Japan, the language of politics--the language of men--was Chinese; and the rise of the Japanese vernacular during the Heian period parallels the development of Italian, French, and English vernacular literature during the same time period in the west.
		However, the great transformation occurring in medieval Japan when the familiar tongue becomes the language of literature was largely the work of a group of women writers whose impact on their culture remained unparalleled in the West until women began to write novels in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
		After the carriage had been drawn through the middle gate to the Corner Mansion, (6) GoFukakusa alighted and turned to Takaaki: "I brought her along because she was too unreasonable and childish to leave behind.

		Born to a family with a reputation for literary ability, Nijo was raised in the Japanese imperial court where her father and grandfather held important positions.
		By the time she was 25, Nijo had four children: one by GoFukakusa, the others by two of her lovers (only one of these without GoFukakusa's knowledge and tacit consent).

	H-Net Review: Timothy J. Van Compernolle on The Father-Daughter Plot: Japanese Literary Women ...
		The situation is somewhat different with Hayashi Fumiko, one of the most popular writers in Japan in the late 1920s and 1930s.
		Lady Nijo structures her narrative in such a way that she follows her father's dying wish that she continue the literary heritage of the family, but the text she produced is "unruly" because it simultaneously highlights the various plots concerning her erotic destiny instigated by her father and her "surrogate father," Gofukakusa.
		Essays on representations of the father among modern women writers--including Tomoko Aoyama on Mori Mari, Eileen Mikals-Adachi on Enchi Fumiko, Rebecca Copeland on Uno Chiyo, and Ann Sherif on Koda Aya--continue to grapple with the conjoined problems of representation and idealization from different angles.

		The words were attributed to GoFukakusa, the 89th Emperor, and were addressed to Lady Nijo, herself.
		Paul Barker, in the Pillow Song, used a spare and haunting texture of solo soprano, chorus of four women's voices, and occasionally quiet gong-strokes, to off-set a gentle story of tenth-century Japan...this was enchanting.
