Abstract
The three prophecies that tell the story of Hikaru Genji’s destiny in The Tale of Genji come true thanks to his relationship with Fujitsubo and the Akashi clan, but the realization of these prophecies is inseparably connected to the consciousness of the sukuse (destiny). This article examines how the word sukuse participates in the history of Fujitsubo and the Akashi clans, and how it carries over to the history of Hikaru Genji, deciphering the context. This article is an attempt to decipher the structure of the grand story of Hikaru Genji’s rise to fame realized through his relationship with the princess, using the word sukuse as a clue.
