『계림정화 춘향전(鶏林情話 春香伝)』의 번역 양상

Abstract

“Chunhyangjeon” is one of the best Korean classics, and it was translated into Japanese in 1882 by Tosui Nakarai. The title of this translation was “kelim love story Chunhyangjeon”, but this translation had a big influence on the reception of the Chunhyangjeon in Japan. I analyze a translation aspect of this “kelim love story Chunhyangjeon” in this report. In this report, I analyzed the person image of an important character. The chief character of the man and woman is drawn on the character unlike the original. Idoryoeng which was a man chief character was the man whom a build had a big with the original. However, it is described in character with sexless charm like a noble appearing in the Japanese literature work in “kelim love story Chunhyangjeon”. In addition, Chunhyang which is a heroine was a modest character with the original, but is pictured in the woman who is active in a man “kelim love story Chunhyangjeon” . Tosui Nakarai changed A and B to the character that a Japanese literature work showed well. It thereby allowed a Japanese to understand “Chunhyangjeon” .
