馬琴初期の黄表紙『大雑書抜草縁組』と、中・後期の読本『美濃旧衣八丈綺談』・『近世説美少年録』との間に、易卦あるいは五行の原理による趣向の継受が見られ、いずれも『美少年録』において集大成されている。これらの易学的趣向は、馬琴の作品とその粉本の白話小説との大きな違いであると共に、作者ならではの因果応報・勧善懲悪の思想と対になる形で、小説世界における事物運行の法則性をいっそう強化した装置でもある。

The mutual influence in writing yomihon between Santo Kyoden and Kyokutei Bakin during the Bunka period (1804 to 1817) has already long been understood, but the influence of Kyoden’s works on Bakin’s long yomihon following Kyoden’s Souchouki, his last yomihon work published in 1813, has been left largely unexamined.The third volume of Shousen Joushi Aki no Nanakusa, printed in 1809, which represents the battle between the Northern and Southern dynasties as a fight between crows and herons, has already been shown to have taken the idea from Kyoden’s Chushin Suikoden (published 1799) wherein a battle between yellow butterflies signals danger for the Enya house. In this presentation, it will be shown that volume six of Souchouki, depicting red and white botan and blue-white butterflies, actually takes its influence from the above section in Shousen Joushi Aki no Nanakusa, as well as that Bakin’s later Kaikan Kyouki Kyoukaku Den (published 1832) uses this part of Souchouki in its plot. In turn, it will be shown that these two authors from the same era did not merely exchange ideas repeatedly, but look into the meaning of unusual happenings being omens of war in historical novels. Concretely, the depictions of these unusual happenings are not simply used in one instance to forewarn of future developments, but are attached to the theme of the work and used to present the author’s view of history. This is a feature of Bakin’s writing, which will be made clearer through comparisons with Kyoden.Also, Aro Kassen Monogatari and Hitsujigusa, two works thought to have been referred to by Bakin and Kyoden, will be included in the analysis. In particular, comparisons between the pedantic soothsaying described in Aro Kassen Monogatari will be compared with the I Ching-styled themes Bakin frequently uses in his yomihon. In Bakin’s case, he borrows from earlier fiction, but goes beyond them by looking to correct political ideas, making his novels into historical criticisms. For Bakin, describing omens and soothsaying does not merely work as a device for moving the story along, but holds an important function as representing the author's ideas, as is also seen in works of history.
