Although Yagi Yoshinori enjoyed a long writer career and won many prizes, most of his works has been understudied. Even to his masterpiece “Liuguangfu'', which brought him the prestigious Akutagawa Prize for the first half year of 1944, the commentator said that it was “definitely the work which must be written today'' as well as “the work depicts the spirit of the time'' since selection. It is obvious that Yagi Yoshinori, being cautious about the situation at the war time, prepared a compromise reading. Aside from Yagi Yoshinori's “Liuguangfu'', there are works depicting a particular image of Manchurian. For example, Wang Chuangzi in “Wang the Subordinate'', Zhu Liantian in “A Man Called Zhu'' and Zhang Fenshan in “Zhang Fenshan'', all were written by Ushijima Haruko. This paper focuses on Yagi Yoshinori, who recanted his proletarian stance and wrote “Liuguangfu'' and 'Flower of Kosa' based on his experiences in Manchuria. The paper highlights “ethnic harmony'' issues with an aim to explore the essence of the works of Yagi Yoshinori, while the key contents and methods of writing are compared and contrasted. |
