Monogatari (Tales of Ise),
Ise Monogatari is a
collection of Japanese poems written in the early Heian period
(794-1185) but the writing lasted for more than 50 years. In the
beginning, the hero, believed to be an aristocrat, Ariwara Narihira
(825-880), was a romantic poet and the tales were written as a form of
biography. But this theory was overturned by the fact that many of the
poems were written by some other unknown persons later after Ariwara’s
death. The tales include love, travel, game and friendship, etc. and
the tales were increased during the period and it is composed of 125
short episodes today. The tales were highly valued by the people and
greatly influenced “The Tales of Genji” in later years.
The Tales of Ise were so
popular in Edo period (1615-1868) that there were more than 100
different “Ise Monogatari” with illustrations. Our “Four Seasons” Maki-e
collection was selected from those hundreds of pictures by Spring,
Summer, Autumn and Winter with the episodes, and the Maki-e artist is
Mr. Masanori Omote, a master from Ishikawa prefecture.
