Description

The "Kotodama" theory of Yasuda Yojuro in its early stage received some influence from the thought of Fujitani Mitsue. Yasuda valued Fujitani's scientific attitude. But, Yasuda came to be more based on Kamochi Masazumi's thought than Fujitani's. In this way, Yasuda's "Kotodama" theory developed away from a "Necessity theory" to a "Chance theory". Discussions about "Kotodama" were carried out during the Pacific Ocean War among Japanese writers. They considered it as different from the Western knowledge system. They were thinking about "Kotodama" which attached importance to sound. Yasuda's position was different from that of the other writers. He thought about "Kotodama" in order to change the recognition of the world based on scientific rationalism. He tried to conquer the modern principle by studying the world view of the school of ancient Japanese national studies (Kokugaku).
