Shiga Naoya, despite his intense longing for his deceased mother, never evoked her memories. This was because he deliberately tried to annihilate his deceased mother's presence and at once to construct a new world based on the mythical mother-child relationship, projected onto his own relation with his stepmother. This paper has attempted to reveal the content of Shiga's scheme, as well as to designate the internal and external causes for his conception of such a design.

In this paper, I have attempted to demonstrate that the multi-layered textual space of Rashomon lies in the double structure in which the "narrator" reveals the process of composing his text, on acguiring the preceding text of Rashomon, allegedly written by the character called "author." Furthermore, by comparing the perspective of the "narrator" and that of genin (hooligan), I have revealed the scheme in which many readers so far have been invited to fill in the narrative, exactly where the "narrator" cannot control, using the same logic as the narrator's. In addition, I have pointed out that the reason for this story to have been uncritically acknowleged as a story of modern identity lies in the multi-layeredness of the textual space and its essential lack of order. Finally, I have argued that the indefinite fate of genin in the textual space was the essence of his reality suppressed by the "narrator" as well as the reader's modernized values.

Is it possible to analyze the discourse of The Pain of Being Born with a thoroughgoing attention to the specificity of written language? If it is, the meaning of the second person narrative as a literary device will be revealed, which differs from the meaning of the second person evoked in the immediate oral communication with the "you." That meaning also illumines the dimension of this piece which possesses something similar to the synchronistic space of language. This paper has attemted to reconsider the originality of this piece by objectifying the acts of writing and reading which constitute the text.

I maintain that the novel, Kinkakuji is a personal account, whose main reader is its author's club-footed friend, Kashiwagi. What should be noted is the internal drama of how the young man with a terrible stutter, resolved about not being understood by others, comes to write a personal account. The protagonist, realizing his difference from Kashiwagi's attitude toward life, plunges into the act of burning the Golden Pavilion; the act, in turn, prompts him to write the account. Words are uttered through the attempt to involve the other into the personal action. If so, the widely-accepted interpretation of this novel as presentation of a solitary aesthetics is severely challenged.

The description of love affairs in Masukagami has been considered as an attempt to depict a world of courtly romance under the influence of The Tales of Genji. Deviding its description into the three categories of "the love between a brother and a sister," "an illicit affair with an imperial princess." and "a scandal concerning the harlem" for analysis, I maintain that the world of Masukagami amply reflects the atmosphere of the narratives of the late Heian period or those narratives written in Kamakura period but deliberately set in the past. Hence I propose a possibility of reading Masukagami as a presentation of dark prophecies about the future of the Daikakuji clan through its narrative world.
