 note = {pdf, Although narratives often appear to undergo free transformations, in fact they function as a totality with a determinate structure. The structural analysis of narratives seeks to uncover a general and inclusive structure, but at the same time must deal with the question of how, on the basis of that structure , a given narrative operates as a regular transformative system. In the case of the narrative of lzu Hakone Honji, textual variants show numerous discrepant motifs, and each of these motifs can be found in other narratives of the same genre. That despite such discrepancies the narrative maintains its identity is the effect of an underlying common structure and the fact that the differences are a result of structurally determinate transformations. Such a narrative is not a free assembly of motifs. It exists, and functions historically , as a totality. For the comparative study of narrative , the examination of relations between similar tales considered as totalities in this sense is of the utmost importance.
There are narratives reported in East Asia which have the same structure as the Izu Hakone Honji, i.e. the narratives of sunlight and moonlight in the Tibetan and Mongolian "Tales of Strange Corpses" (Tibetan version "Ro dinos-grub-can-gyi gm-rgynd" and Mongolian version "Siddhi-kur") which draw upon an Indian source, "25 Stories of Corpse Demons" "Vetālapñcavimśatika". These are very similar to the Japanese narrative "Sun and Moon Honji". The Japanese folktale "Oginkogin" belongs to the series which includes the "Izu Hakone Honji", but also has similarities to the tales of sunlight and moonlight as well as to Tibetan tales. Apparently the Japanese tales in this series are based on similar Tibetan and Mongolian tales. Indian tales "Vetalapñcavimśatika" are said to have been transmitted to Tibet before the 13th century. Similar tales appear in the Tun Huang materials (Stein no.4654, Pelliot no.2721 A.D.950). One must présumé that the development of such tales played a role in the formation of Japanese "Honji" narratives.},
