초록
Akutagawa referred to his 1918 work Saigo Takamori(『西鄕隆盛』) as “unique”; it is not simply an art for the sake of art but a work that criticizes the suppression of speech and the distortion of history by the militaristic government at that time. The character of Saigo Takamori, a medium in this fictional account, was based on a real figure in Japanese history—a samurai who contributed to the Meiji Restoration(明治維新) but later rebelled against the Meiji government. As Akutagawa writes, there are many “incorrect criticisms” about Saigo Takamori and also several theories about the invasion of Korea and his eventual death. Furthermore, Saigo’s significance in Japanese history had been used as a justification for Japanese invasions of Korea. He, therefore, was elevated to the status of a national hero and pioneer of the invasion of Korea. Although Saigo’s words have not been proven to be either right or wrong on the subject of invading Korea, it is generally known that he was in favor of it. In Saigo Takamori, Akutagawa wrote phrases such as “if there were no political obstacles,” “I can’t believe the truth at all,” and “In fact, we don’t even know what’s in front of us.” The work accurately reflects the suppression of speech and the distortion of history that were prevalent at that time. Akutagawa criticizes the militaristic government's oppression and distortion of the press using the analogy of Saigo Takamori and demands the “truth” of the media and “beautiful history” without violence. Akutagawa’s criticism contradicts the existing theories that he did not have historical awareness before he visited China in 1921.
Abstract
Akutagawa referred to his 1918 work Saigo Takamori(『西鄕隆盛』) as “unique”; it is not simply an art for the sake of art but a work that criticizes the suppression of speech and the distortion of history by the militaristic government at that time. The character of Saigo Takamori, a medium in this fictional account, was based on a real figure in Japanese history—a samurai who contributed to the Meiji Restoration(明治維新) but later rebelled against the Meiji government. As Akutagawa writes, there are many “incorrect criticisms” about Saigo Takamori and also several theories about the invasion of Korea and his eventual death. Furthermore, Saigo’s significance in Japanese history had been used as a justification for Japanese invasions of Korea. He, therefore, was elevated to the status of a national hero and pioneer of the invasion of Korea. Although Saigo’s words have not been proven to be either right or wrong on the subject of invading Korea, it is generally known that he was in favor of it. In Saigo Takamori, Akutagawa wrote phrases such as “if there were no political obstacles,” “I can’t believe the truth at all,” and “In fact, we don’t even know what’s in front of us.” The work accurately reflects the suppression of speech and the distortion of history that were prevalent at that time. Akutagawa criticizes the militaristic government's oppression and distortion of the press using the analogy of Saigo Takamori and demands the “truth” of the media and “beautiful history” without violence. Akutagawa’s criticism contradicts the existing theories that he did not have historical awareness before he visited China in 1921.
