가와바타 야스나리의 ‘삽화소설’ 고찰 - 「흐드러지게 피는 꽃」을 통해보는 문학과 미술의 교류 -

Abstract

This paper studiesthe exchange between, and fusion of, literature and art targeting Sakikisou Hanaby Kawabata Yasunari. This work was published serially in 1924 to 1925 assuming a format called <an illustration novel> and the present paper focuses on it. It is judged that Kawabata considered illustrations in creative poems because he knew Sakikisou Hanawould be published as ‘the illustration novel.’ His consideration is shown as simple contents. It is thought that he set simple contents to supplement ‘interruption’ phenomena due to much used illustrations and divided pages. Second, each chapter was titled so that readers could guess the contents. The illustrations explained the contents of the novel or showed the psychological description of the characters with pictures and played a role of cuts of movies as the contents are connected in their entirety by them. In conclusion, the novel that considered the illustrations and the illustrations for the novel make a change with each other in this work in the name of a genre called an illustration novel. That is, there is an interruption of the novel by the illustrations, but the role of the pictures that considered the format and contents of the novel by the writer and supplement it creates an exquisite fusion.
