일본 고전으로 본 男色과 지고(稚児)의 고찰–서벌턴의 관점에서-

Abstract

The history of male homosexuality in Japan is very deep and can be considered as an important cultural characteristics, so I looked at that aspect according to the flow of different timelines. At first, after the origin of male homosexuality, through the period when male homosexuality was considered taboo, male homosexuality became popular around the temple. The deification and Buddhist Bodhisattva of the Chigo that happened in the process only served as a way to eliminate the sense of guilt, and it was not to extinguish the grief of as Survalturn. It has also been confirmed that during the Warring States Period, Kosho who were the objects of the male sex of warlords, were sometimes used as tactical tools beyond mere sexual tools. Since the beginning of the Edo period, Wakashudo have become popular with the change of Kabuki, and professional prostitutes have emerged, many literature materials, including Ihara Saikaku's "Nansyokuokagami" show an understanding of male homosexuality and the sorrow of Kagema. Therefore, in the process of male homosexuality becoming a part of Japanese culture, we can see the tears and sorrows of Chigo, Kosho and Kagema who were the objects of male homosexuality, and the pain they suffered as subaltern should not be overlooked.
