Abstract

Sketches became popular as free texts independent from the canonicity of novel in the Meiji era. In that reader?involving trend, Izumi Ky?ka was in the leading position never seen before. In this paper, the author takes up Ky?ka?Sh?hin（1909）, a collection of sketches bearing his name, and considers Ky?ka's ideal way of free “Sentences”. It was clarified that not the substantiality of strange phenomenon but the obstinate glance to grotesque and indecent details support the reality of the existence in his ghost stories, and it also became apparent that frequent occurrence of a specific motif and a topos function as a magnetic field of such imagination. Moreover, that the strength of poetic image which surpasses casual relations leads the story also in his travel writings and human?interest stories like ghost stories, and that a text comes into existence as a place for conflict of different styles became evident. These facts are considered as distinguishing manner of sketches by Ky?ka.
