Introduction

「弔辞(室生犀星)」は、正宗白鳥が室生犀星の訃報を受け、弔問に訪れた体験と故人の芸術観を回想する追悼随筆です。庭園、陶器、小説に表れた犀星の詩人的感性を、自身の文学と対照しながら静かに語ります。

English Note

In this memorial essay, Masamune Hakucho recalls learning of Muro Saisei's death, his difficult journey to the condolence gathering, and the artistic sensibility he recognized in Saisei's garden, pottery, and fiction. By contrasting Saisei's poetic refinement with his own work, Hakucho offers a candid, restrained tribute to a fellow writer.
