 note = {pdf, Tuberculosis is a unique disease which in literature provides the basis for a variety of metaphors. From Taisho to early Showa, it was commonly described as a phenomenon of the times. For many years, Yokomitsu Riichi loved a girl who suffered from tuberculosis and when her condition became terminal and she was confined to her bed shortly following their marriage, he took care of her each day until her death. Thereafter, beginning with Haru wa basha ni notte ("Spring riding in carriage"), Yokomitsu produced a series of works recalling his experience. However, the theme of tuberculosis itself has not been examined in previous research.
The term "cage theory" used by Yokomitsu denotes the unique predicament of the tuberculosis sufferer, a predicament which the hero of "Spring riding in a carriage" finally comes to understand. In that story, however, the hero attempts to become "invisible" and devotes himself to nursing his sick wife, mainly because to do so gives him a deep sense of satisfaction. Consequently, his wife's "theory" is largely ignored and the hero maintains a kind of dominance over her.
In contrast, in Keisan shita Onna ("A Calculating Woman"), although the hero tries his best to refute the female sufferer, conversely she seems to gain energy from this.},
