일본 근세후기 소설 창작 방법론 －『간탄 쇼코쿠 모노가타리(邯鄲諸国物語)』의 초고본과 간행본을 중심으로－

Abstract

This paper examines Ryutei Tanehiko’s creative techniques through comparative analysis about the drafts and publications of his Gokan “Kantan shokoku monogatari”. In this paper, I focused on how much the red letters of the authors written in the second manuscript are reflected in the publication. As a result, the following has been confirmed. ①appearance, pose and age of characters, ②detailed design to fit objects in illustrations and entire border, ③characteristic to express setting necessary for story progress through costume of character. Thus, Tanehiko instructed the artist to reflect the artist’s intention through the red letters of the second manuscript. And Utagawa Kunisada, the painting artist, accepted the author’s request almost as it was. This has been clarified by comparison with the publication. It is not unique to Tanehiko to write the second manuscript when the writers write Gokan. For example, in the second manuscript of Kyokutei Bakin’s major work, “Nanso Satomi Hakkenden”, various instructions on the artist’s sketches and illustrations are written. Barkin’s sketches and the requirements of the red letters were also almost accepted in the publication. As stated above, the production of the second manuscript by the authors of the late modern times is a common feature, and it can be seen that the author’s red letters played an important role in the development of the story of the work.
