@article{oai:mejiro.repo.nii.ac.jp:00001974, author = {東郷, 登志子 and TOGO, Toshiko}, issue = {19}, journal = {目白大学人文学研究, Mejiro Journal of Humanities}, month = {Mar}, note = {pdf, The Book of Tea(1906), a practical literature on the theory of Japanese art and culture, written by Okakura Kakuzo(1863─1913)has some allusions to Goethe’s Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre(1795─96)and Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre(1829). Though there has been no precedent for such comment, intensive reading of James Joyce’s Ulysses(1922)has led us to find Okakura’s artistic devices suggest Goethe scattered here and there in his work. From the intertextual perspective, this paper attempts to show that episode 9 of Ulysses illuminated the “portals of discovery” of how Okakura adapted Goethe parallel to the Japanese cultural context in his literature. In order to attain the goal of this paper, first we review the historical background of the publication of The Book of Tea. Second, it is shown that the strange description at the beginning of Ulysses episode 9 is a Joycean paradoxical comical way of twisted unification of Okakura’s serious Japanese art theories and dramatic descriptions of the last chapter of his book. Third, the adaptations of Goethe’s original are exemplified parallel to the context of The Book of Tea. Ultimately, Goethe was given a new birth in the context of modern Japan, as homage to a leading figure who had anticipated the arrival of world literature, which Okakura had earnestly longed for.}, pages = {69--84}, title = {The Book of Tea に見るゲーテ─Ulysses第9挿話の「発見の入り口」から─}, year = {2023} }
