    The aim of this research is to develop new methods of studying ancient Waka(和歌) history. It is based on the analysis of influences of Chinese verse and prose on ancient Japanese poetry, from the viewpoint of rhetorical expressions such as couplets and parallel antithetical words connecting one thing with another in particular. The research has resulted in two findings. One, an issue relating to research history, is that it has been made clear that theories on couplets were developed with the distinction between meaning and form left remaining unclear. The other is that it has been clarified that methodological awareness of how to chant things in poetry was gradually nurtured in Manyoshu(萬葉集) under the influences of Chinese verse and prose.

    The aim of this study is to make clear how very unique metaphorical expressions were in classical Japanese literature, after a preliminary comparative survey of metaphorical expressions in classical Chinese and Japanese literature. The study has resulted in the following findings: (A) The basic data have been prepared in list form to ensure that a comparison can be made at a glance between metaphorical expressions in simile, joka(序歌)expressions, eibutsu(詠物)and kibutsu(寄物) in Manyoshu.(萬葉集) (B) It has been found (1) that a new type of simile was developed at the later stage of Manyoshu (萬葉集) as a result of the acceptance of Buddhist scriptures and with incipientcitations from proverbs (2) that the influence of metaphorical expressions in Chinese eibutsu poetry (詠物詩) can be traced in eibutsu (詠物) and kibutsu (寄物) poetry collected in vols 8 and 10 of Manyoshu (萬葉集) and (3) that the form of expression mainly based on sound system was used in Heian Period poetry as a way of describing metaphorical relationship between human affairs and natural phenomena; expressions composed of kakekotoba (懸詞) accompanied by engo (縁語) or mitate (見立て) technique are instances of this expression
