| 内容記述 | In this paper, I explore how the deaths of pregnant women have been imagined and expressed in eighteenth and nineteenth century Japan. The spirits of deceased pregnant women, known as ubume, constituted a popular theme in yōkai and the supernatural, which many eighteenth-century artists depicted through woodblock prints. I explore several features of ubume in yōkai illustrations and discuss the cultural and social background of the people who imagined the appearance of the deceased pregnant woman. I hope to shed new light on early modern Japanese popular perspectives of life and death as they relate to childbirth. This issue connects with both religious practice and with legends of deceased pregnant women. Kawanabe Kyōsai’s illustrations feature bird-like ubume, clearly under Chinese influence. In order to clarify the confusion between the contrasting images of the ubume as a woman in Japan and as a bird in China, this paper turns to a detailed study of Chinese texts. In the seventeenth century, the Confucian scholar Hayashi Razan introduced the Chinese image to Japan, and connected it with the Japanese ubume, that is the yōkai as deceased pregnant woman or woman who died in childbirth. The early modern Japanese image of ubume thus developed into a hybrid bird-like woman. In Japan, after all, the ubume was already a popular motif. By focusing on images of ubume, I hope to advance the understanding of the attitudes of people in bygone ages not only towards women who had died while pregnant and those who had died during childbirth, but also towards the unborn child. | |||||
