On Love Narratives of Hanayagi Spring and the Development of Modern Japanese Novels
The publication of Hanayagi Spring boomed the translation of novels in Japan. Its narrative model and adaptation model exerted great influence upon the development of modern Japanese novels. Via studying the narratives in western romances, the modern Japanese intellectuals discovered the idea of free love in the western world, and while they were sanctifying this idea and orientalising its expression, there emerged in the Japanese literary arena a new narrative model characterized by its equal emphasis on both political affairs and love affairs, and henceforth “love”became a keyword in modern Japanese literature.
