에도-메이지 시각 출판물에 나타난 문학 모빌리티 - 미디어와 책방 그리고 이야기의 전개를 중심으로 - = Mobility on Literature Represented in Visual Publication of the Edo-Meiji Period : Focusing on Media, Bookstores and Developments of Old tales

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Mobility is human life itself. It has dominated a lot of areas of human life and gradually expanded its scopes with the advance of new technology. In this article, I go back to the past in the period when Japanese pop culture sprouted and explore features of such modern mobility. As the first task, I quest visual media, Ji-hon(Edo bookstores), and literature during the late Edo to the early Meiji Period. Kusazōshi and Ukiyo-e published by Ji-hon were able to move to various places through business strategies based on mobility represented by Kashi-honya. Besides, it is found out that Japanese old tales like Kachikachiyama handed down orally began to be newly accepted and transformed in visual publication. It is mostly important to have sales strategy of mobility for publishers to make their publication as good-seller get into people’s hands. In early days, Kyōto was the center of culture but it moved to Ōsaka and Edo. Gradually, the movement of publication spread out from Edo to the whole nation, creating a reversal of the regional status. The features of mobility relating to literature and publication were significant characteristics that heralded the prelude of Japanese pop culture and could be understood as the position prior to figuring out modern Japanese visual culture and subculture.
