田中英光の朝鮮関係作品の一考察

One Consideration to Tanaka Hidemitsu"s Korea Relation Novel

  Tanaka Hidemitsu committed suicide with 36 youth in front of the grave of Dazai Osamu in 1949. He went to Korea twice, and spent approximately 6years there. Tanaka Hidemitsu made a literary work of his experience in the Korea that conveys the state of Korean and its literary world. However, Tanaka Hidemitsu denied his experiences of World War two in Korea in his writing. His writings were criticized as planing Korea"s wartime offenses on the war itself. However, actually, Tanaka Hidemitsu leads the Korean literary world and denies work in Korea and finds work in Japan.   By this report, I was going to ascertain his true figure during the second World War and postwar activity and sentence by a refraction process of such Tanaka Hidemitsu on thought. This report tred to compare other Korea relation literary works during the second World War with the war novels that depict the battlefields in China. Having a theme now I want to go a step further.
