What reading level is The Pine Tree Matsu a Drama Adapted From the Japanese book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The whole Imperial line would have become extinct had not a child been secreted and reduced to the position of a serf in order to escape the quest of the official assassins.
This seems to have been the original story which inspired the poet. But, firstly, he could not possibly put an Emperor himself on the stage. For in these days the divinity that hedged a Mikado was such that no common eye ever beheld him, especially not on the stage of a theatre. And, secondly, the Emperors were nearly mythi...cal beings who mostly had no authority at all. The chancellors were the real regents, and it was to the chancellors that vassals were loyal or faithless. The author had therefore to look for a chancellor to whom the anecdote of the saved 64 AND HIS "PINE-TREE. " child could apply. And his choice fell on the story of the chancellor Sugawara. Sugawara - no - Michi- zane belonged to an ancient family of professional litterateurs. He had a high reputation as a calli- graphist and scholar, and lived in a time when it was possible to become a prime minister by writing nicely a stanza on a theme given by the Mikado ; and this is exactly how Sugawara succeeded.
