Documentary abstract — original language

Soseki Natsume （1867-1916） left over 200 Chinese poems. The subject of this paper is 75 Chinese poems as the early works before studying in the Western （in 1900）. In particular, I will discuss the scenic descriptive expression in three parts as follows: The first chapter is “Water and Heaven”, the second chapter is “About Color Expression”, and the third chapter is “Imaginary and Real”. In the first chapter, it was clarified that a magnificent world that could be called a cosmic one, was constructed around the travel poetries. The chapterⅡ discusses the colors that characterize the world. Already in the Section 1, we have considered the complementary color relationship between “red and green” as well as color dualism, and in the Sections 2 and 3, we have considered the characteristics of “white”, which is the most frequent in his works. In the Section 4 of this paper, we will find out how Soseki is trying to express and what it means targeting “Blue”, which is the second most frequent after “white”. There are 32 cases of “blue” in Soseki’s poem. If we limit it to numbers of Chinese character idiom, 9 cases of “Blue Mountain” stand out at the most. On the other hand, the most common idiom for the “Mountain” is “Blue Mountain” as well. Therefore, in this section, we will consider “Blue Mountain”, which is the most idiom of both sides, to clarify the characteristics of “Blue”. As the introduction, I will outline the characteristics of the “Mountain” in Soseki’s poem. The frequency of using the “Mountain” is as high as 70 cases, however, it mainly includes the representation of nature and the meaning of the cloistered topos, and furthermore, it renders metaphors, allegories, and aspirations. Though “Blue Mountain” has basically the same meaning and function, the outline and existence of the mountain are presented more vividly by adding the “Blue”. The following three points can be pointed out by arranging the motif of “Blue Mountain” in Soseki poem. It is （1） the object of natural beauty, （2） the topos of cloistered appeal, and （3） the place of burial. Regarding （1）, while the “Mountain” also depicts the figure of a steep mountain, “Blue Mountain” is the object of beauty, which is the effect of “Blue” and is expressive of one of Soseki’s aesthetics. Regarding （2）, the landscape depicted as a topos of cloistered appeal, has constantly been the nature in the balmy spring, and it was a “phantom home” for Soseki, who grew up in the city area. The “Blue” means spring according to the five-element theory, and it is positioned as one of its symbols with the eternity of the circulating time. Furthermore, the “Hometown” is also the place of an ancient cemetery. Regarding （3）, I will discuss that “Blue Mountain” means a graveyard in the next issue due to space limitations.
