 Session 109   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
More than simply reflecting the commonness of exile as a punitive act, however, many texts reveal an impulse to imaginatively explore exile, as when they narrate the banishment of gods from the heavenly plain, of celestial beings from the moon, and of political figures who turn into vengeful deities.
In this paper I engage one such narrative, The Taketori Monogatari, which is often explored as a work displaying strong continental influences from Buddhism and Daoism.
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.
