| Research Abstract |
This investigation claims reevaluation of Otojiro Kawakami's adaptations of western drama in the Meiji era, especially from the point of environmental relation of production with reception. Kawakami's adaptive process, as well as any adaptations as adoptions of foreign culture, is under interrelation between receptive conditions and productive ones. Kawakami's adaptations of Shakespeare should be regarded as products of consideration and pre-calculation for reception by Kabuki-fans, not for the intelligentsia. But it is Kawakami's transplantation of western play and their penetration that arranged next Shin-geki's translated Shakespeare, as the intelligentsia desired. Kawakami's production as transplantation was under the temporal condition, but his introduction enabled next stage of development.
