Abstract

The period after the Treason of 1910, commonly called the "Cold Age," resulted from the critical situations into which Japan fell just in the midst of its extraordinarily rapid economic growth and modernization. The tension between the old system and the newborn capitalistic one contributed to empowering radical nationalism based on the Emperor system, which pervaded and defined both the material and mental life of the public. Naoya Shiga's Seibei-to-Hyotan is the very text that criticises the political structure of the dark age in a narrative form.
