「繪畫的約束」論爭—以論爭範圍的再檢討為中心—

The Dispute over “Pictorial Conventions” or “Tacit Understandings on Paintings”-Centering on the Re-examination of the Range in Dispute-

「繪畫的約束」論爭依紅野敏郎的說法是——若不了解這場論爭的重要性，則白樺派文學的研究也無法更深一層。這場論爭一般認為是從明治44年（1911年）6月開始至第二年二月結束，筆者認為這場論爭的時間範圍應向前、後兩方面延伸，才能真正地了解論爭的實情。因此一方面詳細地論述論爭的過程，評論雙方的論點，另一方面用可以實證的資料來論證延伸範圍的正當性。

According to Toshiro Kohno, if we don’t understand the importance of the dispute over “Pictorial Conventions”, we cannot probe deeply into the essence of Shirakaba School. Generally speaking, this dispute began in June of 1911, and ended in February of 1912. But I do believe that unless the dispute is prolonged for some more years forward and backward, we shall never grasp the true state of it. So on one hand, this paper tries to discuss in detail the process of the dispute and the arguments of both sides, and on the other hand, I am going to expound and prove the properness of our prolonging the range with substantial evidence.
