ABSTRACT

In this paper, I focus on the fact that Yokomitsu Riichi wrote"Shanghai"following advice from Akutagawa Ryunosuke. I will examine similarities between Akutagwa and Yokomitsu and Akutagawa’s influence on Yokomitsu through considering Akutagawa’s discourse on China. This article focuses on these writers’ rhetoric, rather than their political opinions on China. By doing so, I will reveal a new relationship between Akutagawa and Yokomitsu. This study only mentions Yokomitsu’s motive in writing Shanghai, but this will be an important clue to unravel the possibility of Akutagawa’s influence on Yokomitsu.
