Research on the relation between the transition of the view of nature and modern Japanese literature

本研究旨在阐释日本气候自然观的变迁与日本现代文学的关系，对于研究日本现代文学，研究新自然观与日本现代文学的关系具有重要意义。在考察日本文学与日本气候关系的基础上，指出图加鲁、岩手、长野、金泽、松山是气候自然与日本文学关系的代表性文学区域，这些区域不仅是许多作家的出生地，也是他们文学创作的舞台。通过对该地区自然、历史、文化的实地考察，分析了气候自然在作者眼中的体现，树立了一种新的自然观。然后，出现了如下情况：明治维新后，西方的影响对日本社会的方方面面都有影响。文学也不例外。在日本，自古以来，自然只是作为一种装饰背景(就像在日本传统艺术和文学中一样)，而不是作为科学精神的对象。但近代日本文人却用西方思想研究对自然的客观描写。并建立了一种新的自然观；自然是强有力的存在--作为人类经验的基本成分，也是洞察和启迪的来源。在客观观察的基础上，确立了在文学作品中投射一种新的自然美的新思想。可以说，在日本传统文学延续到新时代的同时，现代西方的影响刺激了一种新的文学类型的出现。可以说，一种新的自然观构成了日本现代文学作品的观念基础。

The aim of this research is to explain the relation between the transition of the view of nature in Japanese climate and modern Japanese literature.When we make a study on modern Japanese literature, it is significant to research the relation between a new view of nature and modern Japanese literature. On the basis of the relation between Japanese literature and Japanese climate, we can point out Tugaru, Iwate, Nagano, Kanazawa, Matuyama as representative literary area of the relation between climatic nature and Japanese literature The areas mentioned above are not only many author's birthplace, but are chosen as the stage for their literary works. By the field work investigation of the nature, history, and culture of the areas, it is analyzed how a climatic nature is reflected in the author's eyes and a new view of nature is established. Then, the following emerged.After the Meiji Restoration, the influence of the west left no aspect of Japanese society untouched. Literature was no exception. In Japan, from old times, nature had merely been present as a decorative backdrop (as in traditional Japanese arts and literature), not as an object of scientific spirit.. But men of letters in modern Japan studied the objective description against nature with Western thought. and established a new view of nature ; nature is powerfully present-as the essential ingredients of human experiences and also as a source of insight and enlightenment.. A new thought that a new beauty of nature was projected on the literary works was established on the basis of objective observation. It can be said that, while the heritage of traditional Japanese literature continued into the new era, modern Western influences stimulated the emergence of a new type of literature. It can be said that a new view of nature forms the conceptual basis of modern Japanese literary works.
