Essays on Miyazawa Kenji and Endo Shusaku: Religious Experiences in Japanâ€(tm)S Literature

By Kazumitsu Ito

This book discusses literary criticism, especially Japanese literature, from the perspective of the theme of " religious salvation." As such, my discussion focuses on two writers?Miyazawa Kenji, a Buddhist, and Endo Shusaku, a Christian. Their works appear to reflect their religious experiences strongly. I have endeavored to discuss this point in detail. The final appendix is an examination of the " simple religious belief of Japanese people" that these two writers have in common and flows as a deep undercurrent.
