"Chour yakuninen-Kugatsu-Jusannichi Gendainagonke Utaawase" and"Chouryakuninen-Fuyu Gendainagonke Utaawase" were two utaawase( waka poetrycompetitions), both held in 1038 at the homestead of Minamotono Morofusa. Thesetwo Gendainagonke Utaawase were recorded in Volume 13 of "Nijukanbon RuijuuUtaawase" (Ruijuu Utaawase in 20 volumes). Unfortunately, the original manuscriptsof the two Gendainagonke Utaawase recorded in Ruijuu Utaawase have been missingfor a long time, and the only extant copies are transcripts of the original manuscriptsor descendants of there. Until recently material on the two Gendainagonke Utaawase has been limited tosearch records made at the time when the original manuscripts which had not yetbeen lost of the two Gendainagonke Utaawase were designated as National Treasuresin 1936, partial photographs of the original manuscripts owned by the CulturalProperties Protection Committee, and transcripts. Due to the limitations of theavailable materials, uncertainties regarding the two Gendainagonke Utaawase wereinevitable. Scholars had long hoped for the original manuscripts to come to light. This thesis is based on an examination of the original two Gendainagonke Utaawaserecorded in Ruijuu Utaawase, to which the other was granted access. Examination ofthe original manuscripts enabled uncertainties in the search records and transcriptsto be solved. It truly can be said that the original manuscripts have a great value asmaterials for the study of Japanese literature. The original manuscripts are not simply valuable materials for the study of Japaneseliterature, these are valuable cultural properties in their own right as well. Datingback to the Heian period, they are priceless works of ancient art and have been designated as Important Cultural Properties. It is unlikely that these manuscripts willbe placed again in public view. In view of this and in order to more fully assistresearchers in Japanese literature, the owner of the manuscripts has kindly permitteda photographic reproduction of the entire text of the manuscripts to be published inthis thesis.
