For example, "Ise Monogatari" (The Tale of Ise) is a work that is called 'monogatari' because it was originally called that way and readers have enjoyed the work even though the main character was considered for a while to be a real person, ARIWARA no Narihira.
例えば『伊勢物語』のように「物語」と当時の文献で呼ばれている作品であっても、主人公が実在の在原業平その人と一定の期間信じられた上で、親しまれた作品も認められる。
