説明

Born in the Meiji era, Kotaro Takamura was a sculptor and poet who was prominent during the Taisho and Showa periods. His wife, Chieko, had a significant influence on his struggle to become a professional artist. After they got married, Chieko developed schizophrenia and even as her condition worsened, he nursed her alone at home. During this time, he was largely unable to work, and he faced a difficult time physically, socially, and mentally. During this period, he exchanged letters with one of his colleagues in the arts, Ayako Nakahara. At that time, no one in his professional life knew about his wife’s illness, but in these letters, he writes in detail about the pain with which he was dealing. This correspondence served as an outlet for his feelings of loneliness, for him to express the difficulties in taking care of a mentally ill person, and it provided him mental support. After Chieko’s death, he published a collection of poems about his relationship with her. In this article, the relationship between Kotaro and Chieko is reviewed. In particular, how family members are able to remain close to a person suffering from schizophrenia and how each can move forward in one’s own life in such situations is examined.
