This essay cites from Hamamatsu Ch?nagon monogatariand Sagoromo monogatari passages bearing on three issues: (1) themeaning of the Genji chapter title “Yume no ukihashi,” (2) the questionof what happens to Ukifune between “Ukifune” and “Tenarai,” and (3)the significance of Genji’s affair with Fujitsubo. The paper follows each ofthese threads in Genji reception through the medieval and into moderntimes, in order to show that in each case Hamamatsu (for the first issue)and Sagoromo (for the second and third) comment significantly on Genji.In particular, Sagoromo monogatari sheds interesting light on the third issue,which is critical to any interpretation of Genji monogatari.}, pages = {3--28}, title = {Sagoromo and Hamamatsu on Genji : Eleventh-Century Tales as Commentary on Genji monogatari}, volume = {18}, year = {2006} }
