Eiga Monogatari

The Eiga Monogatari ( Japanese. 栄 花 物語 , also 栄 華 物語 , Eng. "Tale of the blooming flowers" or "Tale of splendor and splendor") is considered the first historical work in Japanese and the earliest work of historical narrative ( 歴 史 物語 , rekishi monogatari ). It originated in the Heian period , between 1028 and 1107, and comprises a total of 40 maki (rolls). The author cannot be clearly identified, it is commonly assumed that the lady-in-waiting Akazome Emon was the author of the Eiga Monogatari.

The main part of the Eiga Monogatari, the first 30 Maki ( seihen 正 編 ), describes the events from the reign of the Uda Tennō to the reign of Tennō Go-Ichijō . The second part, the remaining 10 Maki ( zokätze 続 編 ), cover the events up to the year 1092 of the reign of the 73rd Tennō Horikawa . It therefore covers a period of 205 years and is often referred to as Yotsugi Monogatari ( 世 継 物語 , story of the succession of generations ). At the heart of the Monogatari are the glorious deeds of Fujiwara no Michinaga .

The Eiga Monogatari ties in with the Six Reichsannals ( Rikkokushi ), which are written in Kanbun and contain historical events up to 887. It goes with it u. a. as a continuation of Nihon Sandai Jitsuroku .
