Nakatsukasa no Naishi Diary - Nakatsukasa no Naishi Diary

A diary from the late Kamakura period. It was written around 1292 (Shoō ​​5). The author was Fushimi-in Nakatsuka Naishi (real name Keishi, birth and death years unknown), the daughter of Nakatsuka Daifu Fujiwara Nagatsune. The book covers the 13 years from 1280 (Kōan 3) to 1292, covering Emperor Fushimi's life at court from his time as Crown Prince to his accession to the throne until his retirement due to illness. It commemorates the honor of serving Emperor Fushimi as a court lady, detailing tasteful banquets, lavish events, solemn ceremonies, and unforgettable travel memories. The book is based on the sentiment that after a long period as Crown Prince, Fushimi had become Emperor and spring had finally come to the Jimyōin line. Among the articles is one about Asahara Tameyori's attempted assassination of Emperor Fushimi, which naturally reflects the darkness of the era when both Jimyoin and Daikakuji temples were in power, and although it records happy events it lacks brightness. However, there are also some touching, detailed and tasteful aspects to it, which are reminiscent of the Kyogoku school centered around Eifukumon'in of Fushimi, and the Gyokuyo style of poetry.

鎌倉後期の日記文学。1292年（正応5）ごろ成立。作者は中務大輔(たいふ)藤原永経(ながつね)の女(むすめ)、伏見(ふしみ)院中務内侍（本名経子、生没年未詳）。内容は1280年（弘安3）から92年に至る13年間、伏見天皇の春宮(とうぐう)時代から即位以後にわたり、病気で退出するまでの宮廷生活を記している。趣(おもむき)深い遊宴、華やかな行事、厳かな儀式の模様、忘れがたい旅の思い出などをつづって、伏見天皇に内侍として仕えた光栄を記念したもの。長い春宮時代ののち、伏見は天皇となり持明院(じみょういん)統にようやく春が巡ってきたという感慨が基調にある。なかには浅原為頼(ためより)の伏見天皇暗殺未遂事件の記事もあり、持明院・大覚寺両統迭立(てつりつ)時代の暗さがおのずから反映し、めでたいことを記しているわりには明るさが乏しいが、しみじみときめ細かく、味わい深いところのあるのは伏見・永福門院(えいふくもんいん)を中心とする京極派、玉葉歌風に通じるものがある。
