와카, 일본전통언어문화 텍스트로서의 가능성

Abstract

In this article, we considered the nature and phases of Waka.　We then looked at how these traditional language cultures were inherited by later generations and influenced modern culture, centering on the formalities of waka, utamakura, and Hongkadori.　Waka is the foundation of Japanese literature and culture, and has influenced other forms of expression, contributing greatly to the development of modern Japanese literature.　The Waka form of 5‧7‧5‧7‧7 has produced many rhyme forms and played a major role in expressing the spirit peculiar to the Japanese and has a significant influence on the Japanese language. 　Utamakura, written in waka, has contributed to the creation of a new local culture by giving literary inspiration to younger poets such as bassou. 　Hongkadori is an ancient and sophisticated technique that reflects the history of the antecedent Waka, and is also a source of new literature creation for later writers. In this respect, it is worth utilizing Waka as a textbook for traditional Japanese culture.
