“応以長者居士宰官婆羅門婦女身得度者即現婦女身而為説法(Ouityoujya-koji-baramon-fujyo-sintokudosya-sokugenbunyosinniisettpou)” is drawn immediately.
The title of an illustration “常磐御前(Tokiwa-gozen).
It is accompanied by three children and he walks. It is wavering in snow in the village in Fushimi.”

Then, the following is the free translation of an illustration portion.

“There were those who is called Tokiwa-gozen by the wife of 源義朝(Minamoto-no-yositomo) a long time ago.
In order to help a mother’s life, the body was presented to Taira no Kiyomori.
When Kiyomori’s love declined, it became Naganari Okura’s bride.
For this reason, Tokiwa-gozen handed down the non-honor which is an unchaste woman and to say to future generations.
The woman should keep chastity.”

For a woman, chastity is respected in Buddhism.
They will be the contents from the sense of values.
The matters that there should be a woman in the expository writing of this sutra like this are enumerated.
Although possibly he is seldom no longer conscious in the latest Japan, an ideal image called the wife who keeps such chastities too is considered to have existed clearly up to the Showa neighborhood.

Seemingly Joban Omae was a famous beauty and the illustration is also drawn beautifully.
Although accompanied by three children, I can hear from a posture or expression about female-likeness.

「応以長者居士宰官婆羅門婦女身得度者即現婦女身而為説法」という部分に関する挿絵が描かれています。挿絵のタイトルは「常磐御前 三人の子を連れて伏見の里の雪に迷う図」です。

それでは、以下が挿絵部分の意訳です。

「昔、源義朝の妻で常磐御前という人がいた。母の命を助けるために、平清盛に身体を差し出した。清盛の寵愛が衰えると、大蔵長成の嫁となった。このため、常磐御前は不貞の女であるいう不名誉を後世に残した。女性は貞節を守るべきだ」

仏教においては、女性は貞節が重んじられます。その価値観からの内容なのでしょう。この経文の解説文には、女性はこうあるべきだという事柄が列挙されています。最近の日本ではあまり意識されなくなったかもしれませんが、昭和辺りまではやはりこういった貞淑な妻という理想像が明確に存在したと思われます。

常磐御前は有名な美女であったそうで、挿絵でも美しく描かれています。子供を三人連れながらも姿勢や表情から女性らしさが伺える程です。
