It is a known fact that taking an interest in waka poetry, and calligraphy, as well as the art of music was an obligatory part of the education of the Heian Period. The author of the article focuses on waka composition and calligraphy as parts of the educational system and through the study of works of the time, like monogatari tales, analyzes the background that such an attitude towards education created. Her analysis progresses from an outline of the Heian Period educational system, Daigakuryō, to a description of Hikaru Genji’s views on Yūgiri’s education expressed in “The Maidens” chapter of the Genji Monogatari. In the Heian Period, being proficient in waka or calligraphy was for the most part a female matter. The education in the form of waka composition, calligraphy and the art of music was naturally important for the male aristocrats as well, but in the context of female involvement such education was indispensable and had to be intentionally mastered in order to function in the very unique environment of the court. The author shares her views on what the meaning of the composition of waka and calligraphy was amongst the aristocratic society.
