In my kokugo class where children read Kenji Miyazawa's short story "Neko-no-jimusho," they first sympathize with Kamaneko while resenting other cats' jealousy and the chief's plot. Then they find out that the story allegorically depicts the mechanism of social discrimination. Finally they find difficulties of living in the pessimistic ending in which Lion decides to close the office of cats that symbolizes our society. But from the narrator's "semi-sympathetic" attitude toward the cats they also learn how important it is to understand others' feelings in spite of such hard realities.

What Is "God" in the Country of "Gods"? : The Lack of Transcendence in the Teaching of Kokugo(<Special Issue>The 65th JLA Conference (1st Day): Unearthing "Contexts": Literary Education and Postmodernism)

Metaphorically speaking, this country is a strange place where so many "gods" coexist in a peaceful fashion, almost unaware of each other. In other words, the country of "gods" decidedly lacks the notion of "God," that is, something transcendental. Probably this peculiar situation is one of the major factors in the confusion of postwar Japan. But now we can't afford to be content with it any longer, for in the age of globalization we are required to have "God" who can stand on equal terms with other "Gods" all over the world. It is not until we seriously deal with this problem that we can have any clear prospect of the postmodern. Here from this viewpoint I will consider the teaching of kokugo while critically referring to the works of Seiji Takeda, Keiichi Noe, Minoru Tanaka, and others.

In the "Aoi" Chapter of Genji-monogatari Hikaru-Genji sings the following poem while trimming Murasaki-noUe's hair: "Now I see harvested your rich hair as green as "mirume" beneath the fathomless sea." "Mirume" is a kind of seaweed which is used as a poetical word, and there are nine instances of it in the story. Interestingly enough, however, five instances out of them are found in the episode of Murasaki-no-Ue. There the word works as an important introductory device for the episode of Genji's love affair with Akashi-no-Kimi after his exile to Suma. This article will examine the narrative function of "mirume" and its variants ("miru" and "umimatsu") in Genji-monogatari.

The "Sharebon" Humorous Stories of Yamate-no-Bakahito : A Study on His Way of Storytelling in Colloquial Style

Yamate-no-Bakahito has been long believed to be another pseudonym of Ota-Fukashi, the famous poet-writer usually known as Ota-Nanbo. But the "sharebon" humorous stories authored in the name of Yamate indicate that they are quite different in style from those by Ota. In this article I will review the stories wrongly thought to be written by Ota to show Yamate's traditional yet ambitious way of storytelling in colloquial style, focusing on the vivid representation of children.
