ABSTRACT

In this article, I compared the Tanizaki Zunichiro with the Yeom Sangseup in terms of an extension of the intertextuality between Korean and Japanese literature. The scope of the research was limited to the "A Fool's Love of Tanizaki " and "Two Minds" written in 1925 and 1929. In the works, there is the situation of the era that was suddenly changed at that time is intact. In other words, the modernity of Tokyo and Gyeongseong of the 1920s influenced by Japan are realistically described. In the 1920s Japan, especially in Tokyo, was a period of westernization, such as the diffusion of cultural houses and the industrialization of agriculture to industrialized countries. Gyeongseong was the time when modernization was spurred by the capital of Japanese which was increased. During the Taiso period, Japan was a time when the middle class grew rapidly due to the growth of private companies, and women's status also rose. "A Fool's Love " is the last work that Tanizaki started to use before moving to the Kansai region, and it is regarded as a work in which Western ideology, which is one of the great features of Tanizaki's early literature, is condensed. And it is the work which describe relatively detailed picture of Japanese Westernization process at the time. The two works, "A Fool's Love" and "Two Minds", which were dealt with in this study, gave a glimpse into the situation of the 1920s. In both of Korea and Japan, gender equality and liberation of women in the process of modernization brought about changes in consciousness.
