His literary world consists of genres such as historical novels, biographical novels, and prose poems, but each contains a storytelling structure. Ikoku no Hoshi (1984) likewise has its own form of storytelling. Recording his journey in his 70s along the Silk Road, from northern Siberia, the northern and southern roads of Tien Shan, and the Taklamakan Desert, to Pamir and Pakistan, following the path of Genjō Sanzō, and finally to Istanbul, Ikoku no Hoshi is a challenging work from late in his career. As can be seen from the titles “Gilgit Correspondence”, “Kaxgar Diary”, “Himalayan Moon”, “Letter from the Desert”, The town of Amurskaya”, “Crossing point on the Indus”, “Yumen Notebook”, “At the foot of India (Tenjiku), 1 and 2”, it is a truly grand prose poetry collection. Made up of correspondences, diaries, journals, and notebooks, it is not merely a collection of writings, but is designed to be a prose poem. The secret lies in the world of Inoue Yasushi’s dignified “prose meter”. Inside is hidden a deep and sacred philosophy-perpetuity and stagnation. Of course, the places, times, things, people, thoughts, and events he encountered act as devices for memory. Inoue Yasushi is not the kind of poet or writer who abandons a relation in order to focus on discussing himself. In Ikoku no Hoshi, he touches relentlessly on places he has been in life, experiences during wartime, and people he has met, drawing on memories of the past in order to speak to the deceased. At other times he brings his youth back from his memory to form a dialog with his present self or history of the distant past. It contains a vibrant textuality between his youth and history. This presentation looks at the infrequently examined structure and characterizations in Ikoku no Hoshi through Inoue Yasushi’s prose poems. In addition, through the many thoughts of lnoue Yasushi seen in the deceased author of The Star of Samarkand and his letters to numerous anonymous people, I will examine poet Inoue Yasushi’s philosophy of perpetuity and stagnation.}, pages = {121--136}, publisher = {国文学研究資料館}, title = {研究発表 永遠と停頓の詩人・井上靖 ―青春・太古に響き合う『異国の星』をめぐって―}, year = {2008}, yomi = {コ, イリョウ} }
