AB - Okinawa and Vietnam each experienced different wars in eastern Asia. Both wars showed war’s fatal aspects, which tried to root out all life beyond the limit of violence what no one t1o degree. Above all, Okinawa had a role as a USA military base in the Vietnam War. That’s why Vietnam War’s problem is so important agenda not to separate from Okinawa. What Okinawa wants to come back Japan, called the return movement to the homeland, tried to emancipate USA military Government and USA’s military base. Therefore, we should take particular take notice of the literal response to these wars.
This article focuses on the ghost that appears in Okinawa War’s narrative and Vietnam War’s narrative. The ghost reminds us of the violence of war that happened in places related to the Great Nature (beach, ocean, forest, jungle, valley, brook, plateau, etc.). And the ghost creates a ‘Marvelous Real’ to fight against forgetting and being distorted by the violence of war in Okinawa and Vietnam. This ‘Marvelous Real’ makes a communication conduit between the dead and the living. As a political and moral subject, these features improve the ghost’s affections to concentrate on how to cement the world against violence in and after war. Hence this ghost’s affections are not described as a horrible, abnormal fictional existence but the existence for all of the living in Okinawa and Vietnam.
In other words, as the literal response to post-colonial cold war, ‘Ghost Narrative/Marvelous Real’ in Okinawa and Vietnam emerges to retrospect the reason for literature existence, which hopes to the world against violence to be wrapped up all kinds of violence concerned war.
