Abstract

The hero of Seido-no-Kirisuto, a novel by Yoshiro Nagayo, is an artist who seeks truth in art like an enthusiastic religionist. In a sense, the figure of the artist represents the philosophy of art as religion, an artistic trend dominant in the literary circle of the early Taisho Period which Nagayo himself belonged to. But the hero's death at the end of the story implies the decline of the trend in the late Taisho Period when the independence of art had become increasingly more difficult in the shadow of imperialism.
