Legends Of Japan
By AIXAN BEEKMAN
LEGENDS OF JAPAN, retold by Hiroshi Naito, with illustra
tions by Masahiko Nishino. Charles E. Tuttle Co.. Ill pp.. $4.<5.
The literary legacy of the Heian period (794-11S5) includes
the Konjaku Monogatari (Tales. Ancient and Modern). The collec
tion of about 1.000 tales in 31 volumes has three divisions: stories
about India. China, and Japan. Each story is introduced by the
phrase. Long, long ago (Imawa mukashi).
Much of the collection is made up of Buddhist tales. But there
are also secular stories and these, give a good picture of the life
of the common, people.
In addition to the common people, the characters in the. stories
may be Shinto deities, goblins, noblemen, or even Buddha himself.
But the stories were compiled when Japan was in disorder the
government in decline, its authority weakened, and brigandage
i ampant.
Popular Source
The perfectionist short-story writer. Ryunosuke Akutagawa,
who drew many of his plots from the Konjaku. depicts the desola
tion of the once proud city of Kyoto in his “Rashomon
(Ked
Gate).
The authorship of the Konjaku is unknown, but the editor
suggests it might have been written by Takakuni Minamoto (.100477) — or at least that it might, have been drawn from one of his
works. In any case, of the 22 legends represented in the present
volume. 20 have, been selected from the Konjaki.
The other two stories are drawn from among the 234 talcs in
the Tsurezure Gusa (Gleanings from Leisure Hours).
Written in the Kamakura period (1192-1333), the Tsurezure
Gusa came, from the brush of Konko Hoshida (12So-L>50), a man
of distinguished! lineage who had served the Mikado Go Uda no In.
After the death of the Mikado in .1324, Kenko retired from public,
life, and became a monk. To his habit, as monk, of whiling away
tedium through jotting down whatever thoughts stole, into his
mind, we owe this classic.
Thoughts of a Monk
As monk, he became known as Kenko Hoshi — or Goshi —
Hoshi being an honorific analogous to Reverend, and by this name
he is often called. Though sincere, his religious convictions were
shallow: his writing reflects the personality of a shrewd cynic.
y/ G. Aston, who wrote well himself, says of Kenko, “His
essays read like the conversation of a polished man of the world,
and have that appearance of simplicity and ease of expression
which is in reality the result of consummate ai t.
,
The first selection from the Tsurezure Gusa is “The Iron Hat,”
an anecdote about a priest, at a banquet, playfully putting an
iron pot over his head and performing a dance. He succeeded in
appearing comical and amusing the guests, but when he finished
his dance he was unable to rcmox e the pot.
The second selection, “The Lost Dinner'’ is an anecdote about
priests trying to impress a page with a demonstration of occult
power. Secretly they prepare and hide a picnic dinner, then pretend
to be able to locate a dinner through prayer. To their chagrin, the
plan goes awry.
.
The first of the stories drawn from the -Konjaku is
I nc
Fishermen’s Battle,” in which seven fishermen find their boat
magically drawn to a strange island. There a protean deity enlists
their aid against his enemy.
The Final Story
In addition to the stories of magic and wonder, there, arc
stories of love, of an official with a morbid tear of
of
gratitude of animals, and the final story, “Reunion With Death
In this final storv, a masterless samurai, living in want with
his beloved wife, deserts her to marry a woman, of wealth. He
moves to a distant province, and there spends years of luxury with
his new wife. But he is unable to forget the first wife.
Eventually he returns to the capital to seek the wife he had
loved and abandoned. He makes his way to his former home, and
there he meets with an eerie experience.
Since 1953 folklorist Naito has been writing about Japanese
folklore, history, and literature for the Mainichi Daily News. The
selections in this book have been taken from a scr.es printed in
