Prince Moriyoshi’s Grudge Against Ashikaga Tadayoshi in “The Taiheiki”, Seigenin Edition
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the origins of the dispute between Prince Moriyoshi and Ashikaga Tadayoshi, as portrayed in the Seigenin edition of the Taiheiki, as well as how the prince’s grudge in this edition shapes Tadayoshi’s image. According to the research findings, the author appears to emphasize Prince Moriyoshi’s grudge as a crucial component in Tadayoshi’s negative transformation of his image more than in any other edition. As can be seen, the author highlights the conflict generated by Tadayoshi’s involvement in protecting his brother, Ashikaga Takauji, from the prince’s overthrow scheme, leading readers to consider Tadayoshi as the prince’s rival rather than Takauji. Furthermore, the author emphasizes the prince’s animosity toward Tadayoshi by describing the conditions of the prince’s head following the assassination and revealing his spirit’s aspirations. The author also associates the prince’s behavior while alive with Tadayoshi’s inner greed, which causes Tadayoshi to persecute his brother for the position of shogun.
