Abstract
<p>Interpreted in terms of the binary opposition of “public” and “private,” Cain-no-matsuei is a story about “public” power ruthlessly oppressing “private” desire. Niemon accepts his weakness after the experience of frustrated ambition and decides to live a “weak” life with his wife. His choice of such a lifestyle suggests a possibility of a new form of communal space which may provide a clue to a way out of rampant violence in our society.</p>
