Abstract

This study considers the transformational aspect of ancient Japanese aesthetic eroticism through comparative analysis between 『The Tale of Genji』 and Junichirou Tanizaki's modern translation of 『The Tale of Genji』, and, based on that, examine the view on Genji of the author, Junichirou Tanizaki, and then, will look into the essence of Japanese traditional aesthetic eroticism. Firstl, we considered about Junichirou Tanizaki and his world of art works. We could find that he has assertion that there is nothing as god but indulgence in aesthetic and unreserved affirmation of eroticism in the traditional aesthetic world of the Japanese. It is a kind of characteristics of the Japanese that there is no skepticism or conflict in the literary world of Tanizaki. Secondly, through comparative analysis with the original work, we tried to find the aspect that accepted the lustfulness of Irogonomi, traditional beauty of Japan. We can find that Tanizaki considered that the attractiveness of the original 『The Tale of Genji』 is in 'Iroke (sexual attractiveness)' and, for the sake of literary translation, he tried to follow the vagueness of the original work while translating 『The Tale of Genji』 into modern Japanese in order to keep the 'Iroke' as it is.
