Abstract
According to the point of view of the development from modern Japanese literature, the following writers all have thorough depiction about Japanese modem family, such as SHIMAZAKITOUSON、MUSYANOKOUJISANEATSU、SHIGANAOYA. The representative writer among all above is SHIGANAOYA as his work often has the background of family and his inspiration is based on the individual happenings in the family. Besides, family is a very important topic for his literary creation. This dissertation is based on his most creative work from his first issue and second issue to discuss the family relationship. There are total 18 articles as references and they are《ARUASA》、《KODOMOYONDAI》、《SOBONOTAMENI》、《KUGENUMAYUKI》、《HAHANOSHITOATARASHIIHAHA》、《OMOIDASHITAKOTO》、《OHTSUJUNKICHI》、《HAHANOSHITOTABINOKIOKU》from the first issue、《WAKAI》、《RYUUKOUKANBOU》、《ARUOTOKO,SONOANENOSHI》、《AMAKAERU》、《OTOUTONOKIKYOU》、《CHIJOU》、《BANSYUU》、《KAKO》、《YAMAGATA》、 and 《KUMORINOHI》from the second issue.
Furthermore, in SHIGANAOYA’s pieces, the main characters are mostly functional firstborn male. According to《MEIJIMINPOU》at that time, functional firstborn male is the heritor of the family. And the functional firstborn male has his unique position and is different from other siblings. Therefore, this dissertation is aiming at the issue of functional firstborn male in order to discuss the family relationship in SHIGANAOYA’s works. And based on those 18 articles, we can have a more specific idea about the background of his works from the following three perspectives, the existence of patriarch, marital problems, and the heritage of the family. On the other hand, in order to have more idea about the social background, we can see the function of the firstborn male from the laws in《MEIJIMINPOU》and sociology information. Also we can compare the position of functional firstborn male in his first issue and second issue novels, and also we can see the development of it.
