Murasaki Shikibu’s marriage Learning about Japanese history from “To Shine” Why did she choose Nobutaka? Murasaki Shikibu, who was in her mid-twenties, accepted the courtship of Nobutaka Fujiwara, who was 20 years her senior and already had three wives, and they married. Why did Murasaki Shikibu choose Nobutaka as her marriage partner? Let’s take a closer look at what happened to Murasaki Shikibu and Fujiwara Nobutaka. Shikibu’s father, FUJIWARA no Tametoki, did not hold any government position for a long time, but he was appointed Echizen no kami the year after FUJIWARA no Michinaga became Naikan. Shikibu and his family were happy, but since Tametoki could not be assigned alone, it was decided that Shikibu would accompany him. Tametoki and his girlfriend went to Echizen, where he was assigned, in 996, the second year of the Nagano era. Then, Shikibu in Echizen began to receive frequent letters of love from Fujiwara Nobutaka. Nobutaka Fujiwara was a friend of his father, Tametoki, and had known Shikibu for a long time. However, in 995, the first year of Nagantoku, when Kanpaku Michitaka died, Nobutaka returned to the capital after completing his term as Chikuzen no kami, and suddenly began to earnestly press Shikibu for marriage. As discussed in detail in the video “Murasaki Shikibu and Another Husband,” there are two theories about her marriage: the “once theory” and the “twice theory.” In any case, it was unnatural at the time for a woman in her mid-20s to be alone. However, Shikibu knew that Nobutaka was 20 years older and had at least three wives, each with children. He had the eldest son, Takamitsu, with the daughter of Fujiwara Kenyu, the second son, Yorinobu, with the daughter of Tomoaki Taira, and the fourth son, Takasa, and the fifth son, Akikai, with the daughter of Fujiwara Tomonari. Nobutaka had at least five sons and one daughter, including the third son, Yoshiaki, and a girl whose mother is unknown. Takamitsu, the eldest son, was already about the same age as Shikibu. Nobutaka liked to show off and had a cheerful personality that didn’t really care about anything. As a result, while Nobutaka sent passionate love letters to Shikibu, rumors were circulating that he was visiting the daughter of TAIRA no Korinaka, the governor of Omi Province who was a councillor. Murasaki Shikibu must have been pondering whether or not to get married in front of the large number of love letters sent by Nobutaka. In response to Nobutaka, she sent the following song: If it is a plover that is a friend to the water, The voices of the 80 minatos die out. It seems that he is also calling out to the daughter of Omi no kami, and if he likes calling out to many places so much, he is saying that he should call all over the port of Lake Biwa like a plover! The following anecdote shows that Fujiwara Nobutaka was a man who did not pay much attention to common sense. At that time, it was popular among aristocrats to make a pilgrimage to Mount Kinpus in Yoshino. It was common sense for even people of high status to arrive in modest attire. Then, Nobutaka, who was to go on a pilgrimage to the shrine with his eldest son Takamitsu, set out wearing a flashy red, blue, and yellow kimono. When Nobutaka and his friends returned safely a month later, their acquaintances greeted them with concern. He was worried that something bad might happen to the two of them, who went out in such outrageous and flashy clothes. However, a few months later, Nobutaka was appointed as Chikuzen no kami. Sei Shonagon, who served Chugu Sadako, criticized Nobutaka in “The Pillow Book.” Although it is common sense for people to go to the shrine in modest attire, he said, “I have never seen someone like Nobutaka go in flashy clothes.” Murasaki Shikibu later saw this and wrote bad things about Sei Shonagon in his diary, causing it to be said that the two were not on good terms. Anyway, why did Shikibu choose such a flashy, unfaithful man to be his marriage partner? There were two reasons for this: economic and personality. The economic reason was that his father, Tametoki, became Echizen no kami and became financially stable. At that time, it was common for aristocrats to marry by marriage, and the wife’s family often had to bear the financial burden of married life. As a result, daughters of poor aristocrats had difficulty getting married. Furthermore, the fact that Nobutaka was financially wealthy was also a reason for choosing him. The next reason for his personality was that although Nobutaka was a bit sloppy, he was a kind, easy-going, and sociable person. He is methodical in everything he does, and is the exact opposite of the introverted Murasaki Shikibu who thinks about things logically. He says that humans often seek what they don’t have. Without realizing it, she begins to cherish Nobutaka, who enthusiastically sends her love letters, even though he is as old as her father and son. After all, in those days it was common for women to remarry many times for economic reasons and other reasons. In the autumn of 997, Murasaki Shikibu left his father in Echizen and returned to Tokyo, and the following summer she married Nobutaka. For Shikibu, her married life with Nobutaka, who was in his mid-forties and had a wealth of life experience, was exciting. Nobutaka was a maniac who was good at dancing and was the head dancer of the Kamo Festival and the Iwashimizu Festival. Shikibu and Nobutaka even got into a big fight on New Year’s Day the year after they got married. Her maid had heard rumors that Nobutaka was showing off the love letters she had written to her friends and colleagues. Since Shikibu would later write “The Tale of Genji,” the content of his love letters was also excellent, and Nobutaka must have wanted to be proud of him. The two men exchange waka poems and make up after a heated fight. In the winter of that year, Murasaki Shikibu gave birth to Kenko (later Daini Sanmi). However, such a dream-like newlywed life did not last long. Smallpox and measles were prevalent at the time, and in the spring of their third year of marriage, Nobutaka contracted the disease and suddenly died. At that time, funerals were held at night, and Shikibu walked down the dark road to Toribeno in a daze. What did she think when she saw Nobutaka being cremated? Murasaki Shikibu is said to have written “The Tale of Genji” after Nobutaka’s death. Since one of the themes of “The Tale of Genji” is “the impermanence of the world,” there is no doubt that she felt a great sense of loss. After this, she went to the imperial court, and while living a strong life as a single mother, she wrote “The Tale of Genji.”
