 note = {pdf, The words ‘Utopia’ in Europe and ‘Tōgenkyō’ in Asia signify an ideal world but the meanings of the words are not completely the same. The former means an artificial ideal nation and the latter literally signifies the natural space blooming with peach blossom. The world image in ‘Utopia’ written by Thomas More has been partly realized by the welfare states of today (labor hours, the cities kept in good repair and so on), or had something in common with the Communist bloc countries which have now collapsed (abandonment of private property, a surveillance system by the citizens themselves etc.). The Utopia portrayed by More is too this-worldly and in a sense seems anti-Utopia from the viewpoint of today.
Various kinds of Utopias have been portrayed in Murakami Haruki’s novels. Needless to say, his latest novel ‘1Q84’ is modeled on George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ and the reason why his ‘The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle’ is set in 1984 must be to take Orwell’s book into consideration. The midnight scene in the city which is suggestive of Tokyo, is portrayed in Murakami’s ‘After Dark’ likening it to one of the representative Utopia films ‘Alphaville’. In ‘Sputnik Sweetheart’, North Korea and Manchuria, where two of the Utopias in the real world are located, hint at Myū’s hometown (the northern part of Korea, North Korea in the English version of Murakami’s book) and the name of Sumire (its botanical name is Manshurica). The core concept of Utopia lies in the fact that it realizes a logic and an ideal of organization by excluding contradiction and chaos (both equal to dirt) of the real world. The purpose of this paper is to make clear how these Utopias portrayed in Murakami’s novels are related to the concept of ‘System’ mentioned in his speeches such as ‘A Wall and An Egg’.},
