In the middle of the tenth century Tosa Diary came out as the pioneer workof the diary literature, that was quite free from the form of a diary which hadbeen a mere document. Aquestion arizes how it was possible for Tosa Diary tobe able to establish new literary work apart from other traditional diaries. I discuss the methodological characteristics of the diary literature of Heian Periodand its restricted expressions asa prose literature, in terms of the various possibilities in the Chinese character diaries in which the root of the diary literaturehas existed.
