Specifically, the concept of cultural heritage has assumed an implicitly positive meaning among the public. This positive view has been furthered by the popularity of UNESCO’s World Heritage List, instituted in 1972 with the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage.1 Attracted by the possibility of reinforcing their symbolic capital and soft power, a growing number of countries have ratified the convention, investing a remarkable amount of funding and other resources into heritage safeguarding. Nonetheless, because the parameters for inscribing a site on the UNESCO World Heritage List are based overwhelmingly on European and Western values and principles, the struggle to have one’s items inscribed therein has always been biased in favor of Western countries. As of this writing, more than half of all World Heritage List sites are located in Europe or North America. This imbalance and unfairness in the UNESCO rules has been criticized by non-Western countries, as well as by postcolonial scholars, especially since the mid-1980s.2 Partly as a consequence of this criticism and largely as a result of non-Western countries’ demands for a fairer and more inclusive definition of heritage, UNESCO promoted the new category of intangible cultural heritage through the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (hereafter the ICH Convention) in 2003.3 With the Textual Heritage Embodied: Entanglements of Tangible and Intangible in the Aoi no ue utaibon of the Hōshō school of Noh","PeriodicalId":197397,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Japanese Literature and Culture","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126795270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Texts introduced from China and Korea also came to be re-printed in Japan, first in old moveable-type editions (kokatsuji-ban 古活字版) and later in woodblock-printed editions (seihan 整版) with glosses added. A notable standout among all this mass of publications is the morality book Dai-Min Jinkō kōgō kanzensho 大明仁孝皇后勧善書 (The Ming Empress Renxiao’s Book of Exhortations, hereafter called Book of Exhortations), which was originally published in China in 1407, during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644). This twenty-volume Chinese work opens with a collection of edifying passages (kagen 嘉言) selected from Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist scriptures; these are then followed by a number of illustrative stories featuring various characters, adventures, and experiences. Sakai Tadao 酒井忠夫1 was the first scholar to write about the appreciation of Book of Exhortations in Japan. Since then, Hwang Soyeon 黃昭淵 and Hanada Fujio 花田富二夫 have also published comprehensive discussions relating to Book of Exhortations. Hwang pointed out that the original Chinese version of Book of Exhortations influenced the development of ghost stories in Japan, as can be seen in Otogi-bōko 伽婢子 (1666).

In general its underlying story is based on Episode 23 of the Ise monogatari 伊勢物語 (The Ise Stories, late ninth–mid-tenth century), yet scholars have long recognized that the play also departs significantly from the original. For example, the play’s setting in Isonokami 石上 in Yamato 大和 Province, as well as the identification of the main character (shite シテ) as Ki no Aritsune’s 紀有常 (815–877) daughter, are both derived from medieval commentaries on the Ise monogatari, and not the Ise monogatari itself. Also, the play cuts Episode 23’s last scene, which focused on the figure known as “the woman in Takayasu” (Takayasu no onna 高安の女), the secret lover of the male protagonist. Furthermore, the plot of the play reverses the narrative’s time axis, ending with a scene focused on the shite’s childhood. In Act 1, as the main female character reminisces about the past, it is revealed that her husband, Ariwara no Narihira 在原業平 (825–880), had desisted from further visits to his lover after clandestinely overhearing his wife’s poem.
