Despite their many differences, one interesting similarity is their ambiguous conclusions. Kusamakura was described by Soseki as a plotless, haikuesque novel, an experimental work that does not easily lend itself to traditional literary analysis.1 Meian was unfinished at the time of Soseki’s death, which has led to endless speculation as to how it might have concluded. With these issues in mind, this study proposes to use the setting of the onsen (hot springs) as a common framework for interpreting these two novels. As Jeremiah notes, the setting of a piece of literature is often regarded as the starting point for the work: it provides the cultural background, and as such is often central to an overall understanding of a text (2000, 23). In both of the novels in this study, the onsen resort is the site where the protagonists struggle with angst related to the social conditions of their daily lives. Of course, Japan is not the only country where the healing powers of hot springs have been recognized. However, the practices and expectations associated with visiting a hot springs resort can vary considerably from one country to another. As such, an understanding of the culture-specific traditions related to the setting is a crucial first step to interpreting the endings of the novels. This study will begin with a brief overview of the historical and cultural practices associated with onsen in Japan. Following this, the role of onsen as a possible site of healing for the protagonists in Kusamakura and Meian will be examined.","subitem_description_type":"Other"}]},"item_15_publisher_36":{"attribute_name":"出版者","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_publisher":"Center for Soseki and Hearn Studies, Faculty of Letters, Kumamoto University"}]},"item_15_relation_9":{"attribute_name":"書誌レコードID","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_relation_type_id":{"subitem_relation_type_id_text":" AA12945410","subitem_relation_type_select":"NCID"}}]},"item_15_source_id_7":{"attribute_name":"ISSN","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_source_identifier":"2758030X","subitem_source_identifier_type":"ISSN"}]},"item_15_text_78":{"attribute_name":"コメント","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_text_value":"Ⅱ Soseki Natsume"}]},"item_15_version_type_19":{"attribute_name":"著者版フラグ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_version_resource":"http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85","subitem_version_type":"VoR"}]},"item_creator":{"attribute_name":"著者","attribute_type":"creator","attribute_value_mlt":[{"creatorAffiliations":[{"affiliationNameIdentifiers":[{"affiliationNameIdentifier":"","affiliationNameIdentifierScheme":"ISNI","affiliationNameIdentifierURI":"http://www.isni.org/isni/"}],"affiliationNames":[{"affiliationName":"","affiliationNameLang":"ja"}]}],"creatorNames":[{"creatorName":"HANSEN, Kelly","creatorNameLang":"en"},{"creatorName":"HANSEN, Kelly","creatorNameLang":"ja"},{"creatorName":"ハンセン, ケリー","creatorNameLang":"ja-Kana"}],"familyNames":[{"familyName":"HANSEN","familyNameLang":"en"},{"familyName":"HANSEN","familyNameLang":"ja"},{"familyName":"ハンセン","familyNameLang":"ja-Kana"}],"givenNames":[{"givenName":"Kelly","givenNameLang":"en"},{"givenName":"Kelly","givenNameLang":"ja"},{"givenName":"ケリー","givenNameLang":"ja-Kana"}],"nameIdentifiers":[{"nameIdentifier":"169405","nameIdentifierScheme":"WEKO"}]}]},"item_files":{"attribute_name":"ファイル情報","attribute_type":"file","attribute_value_mlt":[{"accessrole":"open_date","date":[{"dateType":"Available","dateValue":"2022-08-19"}],"displaytype":"detail","filename":"SHS0003_031-042.pdf","filesize":[{"value":"573.0 kB"}],"format":"application/pdf","licensetype":"license_note","mimetype":"application/pdf","url":{"label":"SHS0003_031-042","url":"https://kumadai.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/34496/files/SHS0003_031-042.pdf"},"version_id":"5d98b444-da54-4351-9c02-9697affd2101"}]},"item_language":{"attribute_name":"言語","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_language":"eng"}]},"item_resource_type":{"attribute_name":"資源タイプ","attribute_value_mlt":[{"resourcetype":"departmental bulletin paper","resourceuri":"http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501"}]},"item_title":"Onsen as a Site of Healing in Two Novels by Natsume Soseki","item_titles":{"attribute_name":"タイトル","attribute_value_mlt":[{"subitem_title":"Onsen as a Site of Healing in Two Novels by Natsume Soseki"}]},"item_type_id":"15","owner":"17","path":["1526","1530"],"pubdate":{"attribute_name":"公開日","attribute_value":"2022-08-19"},"publish_date":"2022-08-19","publish_status":"0","recid":"34496","relation_version_is_last":true,"title":["Onsen as a Site of Healing in Two Novels by Natsume Soseki"],"weko_creator_id":"17","weko_shared_id":-1},"updated":"2023-08-10T09:15:34.206864+00:00"}
