Abstract

Recently the concept of spirituality has been radically changed. No more restricted to mysticism and necromancy but open to such topics as self-transcendence and self-redemption, it has been energetically discussed not just in religious studies but also in medical science, philosophy, sociology, psychology, and other disciplines. With such a broader understanding of spirituality, here I will treat a relation between landscape and spirituality in the works of the women writers of the Heian Period. Especially in Kagero-nikki, landscape strongly shows a spiritualistic aspect as it corresponds to the subconscious area of mind and has much to do with self-redemption.
