金子みすゞ詩における〈港〉のトポス ―「漁夫の子の唄」を中心に―

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Kaneko Musuzu, a Japanese children’s poet, wrote many poems about harbour. A ‘harbour’ or ‘port town’ is where she lives, where she wants to escape, and a place she longs for. This article investigates her poetry and their topics in terms of the evocation of a ‘harbour’ for various rhetorical purposes. A ‘harbour’ is a crucial place, which means a lot for her poetry, and characterizes her work.
Her poem begins with the desire to leave the ‘port town.’ She gazes onto the sea and imagines an island far away from her town. She invites herself into the imagination, in which she stands at the ‘harbour’ and then transfers her body freely from one place to another Kaneko can only follow ships and sails, which call in at the port and then sail into the sea. For her, the ‘port town’ is a lonely and harsh place to live in. At the ‘harbour,’ she longs for a place far removed from the sea. When Kaneko’s longing for a far-flung places grows stronger, her lyrical expressions of moving to another place far beyond the sea emerge. Kaneko has such a strong desire to leave the ‘port town,’ in particular Shimonoseki, where she settled after her marriage. Her life at Shimonoseki drives her to despair. She yearns for an island. However, she feels loneliness on the island, once she imagined reaching there. She looks for a way for contacting people in the ‘port town,’ which is her hometown, Senzaki, and hopes to mingle with them. In this context, the port of Senzaki becomes a nostalgic place for her, although her life at her hometown, in fact, had been tough. Kaneko turns her gaze the other way around and looks at the ‘harbour’ from an islander’s viewpoint. Her argument of topos, which started at a ‘harbour’ or ‘port town,’ projects out an island, and again shifts back to a ‘harbour.
She seems to have thought about the feelings of islanders. Kaneko evokes the image of herself living happily there, although she feels like an outsider. When describing a Korean child’s life, who crossed the sea and moved to Japan in the recent past, she overlaps her own image living on an island with that of the child. Kaneko hopes him/her to be happy in Japan, although he/she suffers from poverty. Kaneko, who has been unable to escape from the ‘port towns’ throughout her life, expands her yearning for an island. Her longing, which starts at her topos, a ‘harbour,’ is projected to various places in the eyes of her neighbours. This way, she evokes a ‘harbour’ for different rhetorical purposes
