Research on the relationship between Uta and Monogatari in The Tale of the Heike is not sufficient; further studies are expected. Thereupon, the present paper aims to research in this regard by focusing on the relationship between Uta and Monogatari with regard to the origins of The Shishigatani Incident (Shishigatani jiken), which took place in 1177. The specific objects dealt with in this study are FUZIWARA no Narichika, the central figure of The Shishigatani Incident, as well as uta and monogatari appearing in volume 1 “Shishigatani," related to FUZIWARA. Besides, I would also like to bring it into view why it is necessary to employ uta to narrate the stories in The Tale of the Heike. |
