Outline of Final Research Achievements

Tsuneyori TO is considered to be the de facto founder of Kokindenju because he conducted Kokindenju to Sogi. Except for "Ryodo kikigaki" compiled by Sogi, who listened to Tsuneyori's lecture on "Kokin Wakashu", no commentary on "Kokinshu" was known to have been handed down in the To family. In this research, I pointed out the pieces of the To family's annotation of "Kokinshu" that are scattered in various books, starting with "Arukikigakichu shozonarunukigaki", whose postscript has the name of Tsuneyori. Specifically, the katakana small character notes with a circle written in the "Kokinshu" compiled by the Sanjonishi family, the To family theory in "Eishoki", and the Todono theory in "Kokinshusho", all quotes are from the same book. It can be presumed that the To family's original annotation of "Kokinshu" was added to all poems, which was a lower level than "Ryodo kikigaki".

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

東常縁が宗祇へ伝えた『両度聞書』は、常縁の師の尭孝の説そのものであり、そこに常縁 説、東家説はほとんど含まれない。東家は、東胤行(素暹)以来、勅撰歌人を輩出する、 武家歌人の名家である。その東家に、家説がなかったとは考えにくい。今回見出された東 家『古今集』注は、最高の秘説である『両度聞書』には及ばないものの、それ故より多く の門弟に伝授されたと思しい。東家『古今集』注の発見によって、東家伝来の家説の内実、 低位の伝授の実態を知ることができた。さらに、東家『古今集』注は、他の注釈書に紛れ 込んでいる可能性もあり、これを基準とすることで新たなる注文が見つかることも期待で きる。
