ABSTRACT

This study focused on the international love described in popular novels written in Edo era. We had a purpose to understand the Japanse recognition and the imagination on the overcoming boder and the international love in those days. Thus we analyzed Nishizawa Ippu's Shinshoku Gokansyo and Hiraga Gennai's Huryu Shidoukenden. First of all, we could say that the real love of Chosun woman was desribed in Shinshoku Gokansyo, so the Chosun was understood as the same place as Japan where was the value and the recogniton of love existed. Second, there were the real love for international women in Huryu Shidoukenden as Shinshoku Gokansyo. But the Japanese superiority on politics and moralities also was described in Huryu Shidoukenden that meant the Japanese recoginition on foreign counturies were different in what way it was linked. In conclusion, Japanese sometimes desicribed the international love positively in popular novels wrriten around 18th century, meant they recognised foreigne counturies in variety.
