In ancient times Japanese language used in Manyo-shu was not recognized as a national language now called "kokugo," but it was one that only the nobility was privileged to know and use in the tradition of Japanese poetics. In the mid-Meiji Period, however, many ancient and medieval texts were categorized into classic national literature, whose ancient and obsolete language was assimilated into the "kokugo" vocabulary. Above all, Manyo-shu was defined as the "origin" of national language, and it had become the standard to be followed in verse-making. But, interestingly enough, although it apparently imitated Manyo-shu, modern tanka poetry used neither its ancient language nor even a modern version of it. Instead, it invented quite a new vocabulary, simple, natural, energetic, but hopelessly uncommunicative. Ironocally, as the strange poetic language meant almost nothing outside literary circles, it betrayed the policy of its father, i.e., the "kokugo" system, the ultimate aim of which was to create a common language shared by all the nation.

Since I began to teach Japanese literature in Korea, I have been always putting this question to myself; why am I studying this literature? For, when I was in Japan, I first tried to research Japanese literature as most Japanese scholars do, but soon I found I after all could not but make an approach to it as an "outsider." As a result, now I don't study Japanense literature on the assumption that it is "our" literature, but I regard it as foreign or "their" literature from my outside viewpoint. But the matter is no so simple. In Japan I had been so much trained to think and write about Japanese literature as "our" own that I can't so easily forsake my acquired Japanese attitude. In this paper, with my own experience as a foreign student torn between "our" literature and "their" literature, I will present the possibility of such an outside approach to Japanese literature.

In the late nineteenth century the Western countries began to be interested in Japanese literature. With such subsequent efforts as Arthur Waley's translation of Genji-monogatari in the prewar period and the works of Donald Keene, Edward G. Seidensticker, and their followers in the postwar period, studies on Japanese literature have been firmly established as a regular discipline in the West. But, as it stands, the literary works of the Edo Period have not been so thoroughly researched as those of the Heian Period or those after the Meiji Restoration. There are the three following reasons; first, even in Japan not a sufficient amount of studies has been made in this field; second, there remain few original texts and, if any, in most cases they are not even reprinted; finally, popular writings such as gesaku and kabuki have been so often regarded as entertainment not worthy of serious research. In this paper, while presenting the brief history of studies on Edo literature in Europe and America, I will report difficulties those studies met in translating and annotating the texts. In so doing, I will also consider what this still undeveloped area will be in the future.

Takehiko Fukunaga and French Literature : His Adventures from "matinee poetique" to "Shi-no-shima"(<Special Issue>The 56th JLA Convention (2nd Day))

Immediately after World War II, Takehiko Fukunaga experimented with rhymed verse in the collection of poems "matinee poetique." Writing poems in rhyme under the strong influence of the two French poets Charles Baudelaire and Lautreamont, he sought after a new style of poetical expression based on what he called "Japanese as a foreign language." The result of this poetical experiment would lead to the completion of his "poetics of fiction." After making adventures through a poetical space scattered with such symbolic words as "atmosphere," "tower," and "Hades," Fukunaga reached his own style of writing fiction, the highest point of which is "Shi-no-shima."
