| Research Abstract |
This study brings to light details of the Negishi-to(Negishi party), a circle formed in the Meiji 20s by famous writers, painters and journalists, including Rohan Koda, from its formation to dissolution. Specifically, the time of formation and dissolution, which have hitherto been unclear, is identified to be the second half of the Meiji 10s and around Meiji 27 respectively. Details of the members are also identified in this study. In addition, the conventional view regarding Negishi-to as an apolaustic circle of a by-gone era, is redressed. Now it is clarified that Negishi-to was a sign of the diversity of the Meiji era when these active persons of culture seriously amused themselves with silly games and plays. The significance of the cultural history of the Negishi-to is made clear in this study.
