Abstract
Description
Some of Japanese court literature’s most beloved heroes, including the semi-fictionalized Ariwara no Narihira of the Tales of Ise and the fictional Hikaru Genji of the Tale of Genji, are known for their scandalous love affairs with imperial consorts and shrine priestesses. This talk traces the history of such tales of scandal back to Nara-period myths that reference utagaki, an orgiastic festival of song and courtship observed in early Japan.
