『今昔物語集』本朝部における呪宝の諸相
In this paper, we focus on the juho(呪宝) in the “Konjaku Monogatarishu” Honcho department. The 8 stories were classified into each type. Then, I considered the description aspects of juho in the development of the story. In the Honcho department of “Konjaku Monogatarishu”, juho are depicted as symbols representing the merits and miraculous powers of the gods and Buddha, as a means of explaining the efficacy of Buddhist faith. In “Konjaku Monogatarishu” Volume 16, Episode 30, a character based on worldly gain is portrayed, who is dissatisfied after obtaining a magical treasure that is different from his expectations, but even the rawness of such a person turns into an interesting read. we can get a glimpse of the editor and author’s preferences from the fact that he does so. Furthermore, the magical treasures, which do not have a temporary effect but repeatedly bring good luck without restrictions or provide an endless supply of rice and gold, function as dramatic elements in the development of the tale. By adding a permanent and infinite motif to the treasure, it emphasizes the great miraculous power of the gods and Buddha. By doing so, reverence for the gods and Buddha will be further aroused.
