宮澤賢治〈漸轉嫩綠的脖子〉的創作過程－－一九二四至一九三三年間－－

The Creation Process of “The Light Green Neck” by Kenji Miyazawa: From 1924 to 1933

本文旨在探討宮澤賢治的著作〈漸轉嫩綠的脖子〉。過去已有研究考證該篇詩作本身，但並未探討該作品在不同階段的草稿具有什麼意義。例如，完成的詩作中雖有描寫一位身穿布斗蓬行乞的農夫，但是作品在草稿階段，也就是仍為口語詩時，僅寫出行乞農夫使用鈴鐺的聲音，而未出現農夫本人的形象。為何會在創作過程中出現上述的變化，即具研究價值。本文作者在分析該詩作時參考了其他作品，進行比對之後提出了新的詮釋。除此之外，作者也研究了宮澤賢治的虛構內容的手法、他的詩作之間有什麼樣的互動，以及他的經歷如何啟發他創作特定詩作。本研究結果可供未來的研究者使用，日後探討宮澤賢治其他作品的創作過程，特別是後來轉成古典詩的作品，應能做為有利的參考資料。

This paper explores Kenji Miyazawa’s classical Japanese poem “The Light Green Neck”. There have been studies about the said poem, but none have looked into the drafts of the poem developed across different stages, which are equally research-worthy. For example, in the completed poem, Miyazawa portrayed a poor farmer in a dot-pattern mantle; however, in the early stage of creation, when the poem was first written down in colloquial language, Miyazawa only described the sound of a bell that was probably used by the farmer. To understand what prompted Miyazawa to make the change above, the author compared the poem and other works and proposed some possible explanations. In addition, the author also studied Miyazawa’s inclusion of made-up events and experiences in his poems, the interplay between his multiple poems, and some major life events that inspired his poems. The findings of this paper can serve as a valuable reference for future studies concerning the creation of Miyazawa’s other works, especially those that were turned into classical poems.
