Dazai enumerates Man 'yoshu, Nihonshoki, Tangofudoki, Honcho-shinsenden, and Ogai Mori's drama as literature he referenced for the creation of his story Urashima-san. However, it is doubtful whether Dazai really read these books. Even if he read them, the influence of these books on Urashima-san must be limited since he confesses, "I had read them years ago" and "I have only a vague memory of them". Considering the motif of 'closed eyes' and the situation of scenes described in Urashima-san, this paper infers that Dazai mainly relied on Zoku-urashimashi Denki for the creation of his story. |
