| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Kawabata Yasunari’s winning of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968 was a symbolic event that Modern Japanese Literature became part of the World Literature. Needless to say, translation played a crucial role in this event. When we look at the process up to this event, however, we see twists and turns. During the occupation period, translation was used in GHQ censorship to control Japanese. In the 50s, translation of Japanese Literature increased dramatically to promote US Cold War Scheme. Our project made clear that translation occur within the complex negotiations of translators with the publishers and editors who had their own political and commercial agenda.
