Abstract Tôukoku was an author who died in the early Meiji period in Japan at the age of 25 and the mystery of his death is still a highly researched topic by many scholars today. Many of his works written dur...ing his later years were concerning the issue of the sexes. The pessimistic poet and women and The purity of the virgin are some examples. lt is believed that the unhappy marriage between Tôukoku and his wife Minako was the main reason for Tôukoku's view of women. However, his relationship with his step grandmother and mother may also have played a significant role. Tôukoku was separated from his mother for five years since the age of four, and was brought up by his step grandmother and grandfather during that time. When he was reunited with his mother, her attitude towards Tôukoku was rather harsh. As a result, the frosty impression of women began to develop in the little Tôukoku. This paper studies the possible impact of his childhood time spent with his step grandmother and his strict mother on his view on women.show more
