  This study attempted to explore the understanding of the social education subject by redrawing the self-formation of a successor of folklore.

  Social education research focuses on the part of the learning subject that overcomes contradictions and the framework given by society in describing the learning-educating subject facing the society. However, are learners straightforward overcomers of the contradictions they face? This study not only describes the subject who faces the structure from a social structural understanding but also tries determining the learning subject in the activities of the subject who “takes on” the “irrational” situation over time.

  Specifically, the project attempted to understand the self-formation of ABE Yae, a poetess, as she faced irrational situations from tanka poems she composed from 24 to 60 years of age, as well as from her history as a successor. We found the method the subject “continues to take on” the mission of being the successor and mechanism of how tanka culture brought various relations to her daily life and gave her room to continue facing irrationality.
