 note = {pdf, A Japanese historical epic, the Taiheiki, written in the late 14th century, inspired people to receive broadly the legend of Kusunoki Masashige. Although the legend of Masashige was spread broadly, the process of how it was received in the early modern literature has not been verified systematically.
In this paper, I would like to consider the viewpoint and significance of a book on legendary hero Masashige. A closer examination goes to kōki yomi-hon, reading books in the late Edo period, Byōbu Onryō Yotsuya Kaidan (1835) (words by Sangetsu Ansyujin, pictured by Hishikawa Kiyoharu) to discuss how the legend of Masashige was told and altered over time, referring to the following earlier books; Hanabusazōshi (1749) and Nishiyama Monogatari (1768). In Hanabusazōshi, the descendant of Masashige appears and he calls on all of his wisdom and ingenuity. In Nishiyama Monogatari, Masashige’s ghost appears. Although the story of legendary hero Masashige were limitedly written in both books, Byōbu Onryō Yotsuya Kaidan told more stories of the descendants of Masashige as well as people around Masashige, which developed the legend of Masashige.
The heroic story about reconstruction of the Southern Court by the descendants of Masashige and the surviving retainers of the Southern Court made Byōbu Onryō Yotsuya Kaidan more like a historical novel. This seems to have been influenced by Bakin’s Shōsenjyōshi Aki no Nanakusa (1809). Furthermore, scenes created from Kabuki stage appealed to many readers, blending with Tsuruya Nanboku IV’s Tōkaidō Yotsuya Kaidan (“Ghost Story of Yotsuya”, 1825) written as a Kabuki play.
Byōbu Onryō Yotsuya Kaidan blends the story of surviving retainers of the Kusunoki family, adding the most famous Japanese ghost story, Yotsuya kaidan, the story of Oiwa and Tamiya Iemon, to the legend of Kusunoki Masashige. That is, blending historical facts and the world of Kabuki together focused on new characters who did not appear much in the hitherto legend of Kusunoki Masashikge. As a result, the legend of Kusunoki Masashige, which used to be read only as a story of a loyal retainer and a policy maker, came to be read also as a heroic story of reconstruction of the Southern Court by the descendants of Masashige as well as the surviving retainers of the Southern Court.},
