| 摘要 | Ascending the throne in 1183, the year the first shogunate of Japan was established, Ex-Emperor Go-Toba (1180-1239) attempted to revive the golden days of the imperial court in both political and artistic spheres. Political turmoil in the court and among warrior factions in the twelfth century seemed to bear out the Buddhist belief that the world reached the Age of Latter Law. This political and religious climate heavily influenced the new poetics, a view of poetry as less an elegant means of communication among courtiers than a specialized artistic endeavor distanced from life. In reaction, Go-Toba called on ancient theories of efficacy of poetry in governance of a country to reintegrate poetry with religious and political life. With his compilation of the Shinkokinshu (1205), one of the most famous of all anthologies of waka (Japanese court poetry), Go-Toba presented a microcosm of an orderly and harmonious realm empowered by native and Buddhist deities. He achieved this sense of harmony in aesthetic terms by blending medieval innovations with all the techniques traditionally used in anthologies. With his use of association and integration methods, Go-Toba pushed the waka form toward renga (linked verse) that saw its full development two centuries later. In the political arena, Go-Toba was not so successful in bringing his ideals to reality. In the Jokyu War of 1221 Go-Toba tried to assert the position of the court against the ambitions of the shogunate, but was quickly defeated. After the war, power remained in the hands of the successive military leaders until the Meiji Restoration of 1868. The Jokyu incident was no less cataclysmic for Go-Toba's own life. He spent his last eighteen years in exile on a remote island, deepening his understanding of Buddhism, while producing a number of important literary works. As an analysis of Go-Toba's personality, ambitions and accomplishments, this dissertation explores his instrumental role in the transformations of medieval poetics and politics. By so doing, it illuminates the vital connections between aesthetics and politics in the medieval world. |
