CLIP(Only in Japanese. )This Month’s Antique Book
『Ise Monogatari』（Nara Ehon）

Central Library Valuable Materials Collection

A Nara ehon (picture book) is a manuscript that was written from around the end of the Muromachi
Period until the middle of the Edo Period. The term “Nara ehon” comes from the theory that thesebooks were made as a side business for Buddhist image craftsmen near Nara Kofukuji Temple, though
there are many other theories as well. In the early days they were called simple, artless picture books,
but as time went by they became bigger and more extravagant in their bindings. They are also known as“bride books”, or books taken by brides (usually princesses) to their new homes as a gift to their newfamily .
「Ise Monogatari」is a Heian-period poetry tale which follows the life of a protagonist, who wasbased on Ariwara Narihira, from his coming-of-age until his death, told in a combination of beautifully
flowing prose and waka poetry. Well known sections include the tale in which theprotagonist spirits his love away, only for her to be eaten in one bite by an Oni near theshores of the Akutagawa river, and the tale of the protagonist falling in love with hischildhood friend as they played near a well curb “Tsutsuidutsu”.
