Abstract

<p>In this paper I will analyze the narrative function of Izu-no-odoriko by focusing on not the content but the “philosophy” of the story so as to reconsider the principle of reading. As Shōzō Ōmori points out in his essay on the “mode of past tense,” we must not stop discovering textual potentialities because to do so may lead to the discovery of new aspects of our own life. In this sense, Izu-no-odoriko is a philosophical text which has the very potentialities to change the reader's self with what Minoru Tanaka calls “enlightening effects.”</p>
