抄録

This paper is the first part of a serial work on the biographical details of Shusaku Endo (1923-1996) whose complete diaries (Endo Shusaku Zen-Nikki, in 2 volumes) were published in 2018. The author focuses on the time Endo spent in Setagaya, Tokyo, where he resided for more than 10 years between 1942 and 1958, except for some intervals away from the place. The author discusses the relationship between the novelist and Setagaya. The author delves into Endo’s essays, fictions, recollections by his wife, writings by his teachers and other contemporaries, and looks at the social background to Endo’s life such as transportation route maps, and tries to understand what motivated the author to become a writer for life during his days in Setagaya. The first two sections on “The sense of shame and guilt toward his mother“ and “An encounter with Saku Sato” suggest that Endo flew from the pressure he felt from his Christian mother and moved from Kansai to Setagaya where his divorced father lived. There, by chance, he got a book Outline of French Literature (Furansu Bungaku Sobyo, 1940) by Saku Sato, who became his mentor. The author concludes that, thanks in part to encounters with Saku Sato and other literary friends, this period in Setagaya was instrumental in Endo’s formation. (To be continued.)
