Japanese: 河海抄 - かかいしょう
River and Sea Collection

A commentary on The Tale of Genji written by Yotsutsuji Yoshinari. It was written around the Joji era (1362-1368) by order of Ashikaga Yoshiakira, the second shogun of the Muromachi shogunate. This book critically integrates previous commentaries and is based on extensive research using a wide range of cited texts, making it a culmination of the early period of research on The Tale of Genji. It is a groundbreaking work in the history of early commentaries on The Tale of Genji, and had a major influence on subsequent commentaries. Another feature of this book is that it focuses on both the Kawachi version, a copy by Minamoto Mitsuyuki and his son Chikayuki, and the Aobyoshi version, a copy by Fujiwara Teika, and that it strongly attempts to clarify the precedents and historical facts on which The Tale of Genji is based. The author, Yotsutsuji Yoshinari, was a scholar of Japanese studies during the Nanboku-cho period and the grandson of Prince Yoshimune, the son of Emperor Juntoku. In later years, he wrote about secret theories that were not included in "Kawakaisho" in "Sango Hisho."

『源氏物語』の注釈書。四辻善成(よつつじよしなり)著。貞治年間(1362~1368)ころに、室町幕府2代将軍足利義詮(よしあきら)の命によって成った。前代までの諸注釈を批判的に統合しつつ、豊富な引用書を駆使した考証により成った本書は、『源氏物語』研究初期の集大成的注釈書といえる。『源氏物語』古注釈史においても画期的な著書であり、その後の注釈に大きな影響を及ぼした。源光行(みつゆき)・親行(ちかゆき)親子の写本である河内(かわち)本と、藤原定家の写本である青表紙本の両方に注目している点、また、『源氏物語』が典拠とした先例や史実を明らかにしようとする姿勢が強く見られる点も本書の特徴である。著者の四辻善成は南北朝時代の和学者であり、順徳天皇の皇子善統(よしむね)親王の孫。後年、『河海抄』に載せなかった秘説を『珊瑚秘抄(さんごひしょう)』で著している。
