The sequence comprises one long poem (chōka) and two short poems (tanka) . These compositions are followed by two more short poems by another poet. These poems are assigned by the author of this paper to the preceding sequence in a narratological reading. A narratological reading must also importantly consider peritexts such as the title, preface, postscript, and annotations. There exists a long history of research on Hitomaro’s three poems, which have also been analyzed from the narratological perspective (Misaki Hisashi 2005). However, the extant article dealt only with the aspects of time and space, and the narrator was not examined. The present study attempts a new approach based on the elaborate analysis of narratological poetry, probing whether a narratological lyric analysis of Hitomaro’s poems can offer new insights.}, pages = {A63--A90}, title = {Hitomaro’s Poems on the Decayed Capital : A narratological approach to Man’yōshū poems 1: 29 to 31}, volume = {55}, year = {2022} }
