Thesis (Ph.D.)--Yale University, 1999.

This dissertation constitutes a study of the fictional and pseudo-biographical representations of Izumi Shikibu (and, to a lesser extent, Ono no Komachi, Sei Shonagon, and other women authors of the Heian court) in selected works of Japanese literature and painting from the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. In particular, it focuses on the widespread medieval appropriation of Izumi Shikibu's name and poetry by a host of Buddhist institutions and proselytizer-entertainers for use in an array of teaching and fund-raising activities, and it explores the effects of these manipulations on several works of Muromachi fiction and on Izumi Shikibu's and other Heian authors' recreations as national cultural icons---Japan's first perhaps truly national literary figures---in the medieval and early-modern periods.

520 $a This dissertation constitutes a study of the fictional and pseudo-biographical representations of Izumi Shikibu (and, to a lesser extent, Ono no Komachi, Sei Shonagon, and other women authors of the Heian court) in selected works of Japanese literature and painting from the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. In particular, it focuses on the widespread medieval appropriation of Izumi Shikibu's name and poetry by a host of Buddhist institutions and proselytizer-entertainers for use in an array of teaching and fund-raising activities, and it explores the effects of these manipulations on several works of Muromachi fiction and on Izumi Shikibu's and other Heian authors' recreations as national cultural icons---Japan's first perhaps truly national literary figures---in the medieval and early-modern periods.
520 $a Chapter One, the introduction, provides an overview of several Heian women authors' medieval fictional representations and introduces major themes relevant to these. Chapter Two, divided into three parts, focuses on a group of Kamakura and Muromachi-period tales of Izumi Shikibu and her imagined affair with the priest and poet Domyo Ajari; Part One introduces early accounts of their affair and the possible reasons for the accounts' dissemination, including the probable use of such stories in Buddhist proselytizing, and Parts Two and Three concern two works of short medieval, fiction, Kotohara and Izumi Shikibu, which take up and develop the earlier didactic accounts. Chapter Three, also divided into three parts, focuses on a group of stories of Izumi Shikibu's supposed encounter with the priest Shoku Shonin on Mt. Shosha, and the use of such stories in a number of Buddhist traditions. Part One examines the use of these tales by medieval Tendai instructional centers in teaching the Lotus Sutra, Part Two examines their use in the Kamakura-period proselytizing activities of Seiganji Temple, and Part Three examines their use in Rakuyo Seiganji engi, a late-Muromachi-period history of Seiganji. Chapter Four, divided into two parts, explores the fictional theme (sometimes propagated in tales spread by women) of Izumi Shikibu as a woman who succeeds in overcoming the spiritual obstructions and impurities of her gender. The essay is followed by a section of annotated translations.
