「異類婚姻譚」是日本昔話中常見的主題之一。而不僅限於昔話，異類婚的描述在現代亦常出現在各式的藝術表現中。我們人類想要描寫與異類間的交流、婚姻等文藝的慾望是從何而來？若追尋此一答案，對於異類的好奇心、厭惡感，有時又會對其不可思議的力量感到憧憬及恐懼，這些感覺透過「異類婚」的型態，而以創作這種行為表現出來。漆原友紀的代表作《蟲師》得過許多漫畫相關的獎項。而在第4集中收錄了本作唯一一篇以異類婚為主題的短篇「籠之內」，劇情內含許多關於異類婚常見的主題，但故事情節的發展卻不會流於固定形式。本論文透過「籠之內」，確認了昔話常見的普遍主題是如何被投影在現代的優秀漫畫作品中，並獲得了新的闡述方式。並且，本論的分析對象《蟲師》這部作品透過描寫人與異類=「蟲」的相處方式，讓生活於現代的我們思考在既嚴酷又美麗的大自然中人類該如何生存的這個命題；同時亦透過「籠之內」的分析，驗證《蟲師》是一部富有文藝性的作品，並以此做為本研究的結論之一。 The heterogeneous marriage is one of the common motifs in Japanese old tales.
