| Research Abstract |
My research focuses on Yukio Mishima's manuscripts (draft notes, original drafts, proofs, and letters, etc.) as well as those of other writers, including Miyazawa Kenji and Futabatei Shimei.
I am also interested in French literary genetics, philosophy (hermeneutics) and art history because they offer fascinating perspective and methods with regard to manuscript study.
I have thus examined draft notes of Mishima's most important work Kinkakuji and of his four posthumous works Hojo-no-Umi.
As far as the latter is concerned, I developed the plot and the concept of the fourth book as it was designed in the draft notes-which differ greatly from the published version- and tried to create an alternative "fourth book".
