Abstract:

The Story of Shunkinsho is a work published by Japanese aesthetic modernist writer Tanizaki Jun'ichirō after relocating to the Kansai region. It holds the distinction of being the first pure literature work adapted to film in Japanese cinema history. The cinematization of Tanizaki’s literature, marking the transformation from pure to popular literature, represents an essential aspect of understanding the relationship between Tanizaki’s writing and film. Analysis of director Nishikawa Katsumi’s film adaptation of The Story of Shunkinsho reveals the distinct expressive differences between novel and film as artistic forms. Through portraying Shunkin’s inner world and character appeal, the film director establishes her as the true female protagonist. Additionally, the director simplifies the plot for easier comprehension, altering the original’s layered narrative structure to create an accessible story that non-literary audiences can understand without having read the source material.
