This article examines the relationship between Osanai's artistic views and his faith in Oomoto, a new religion which was popular in the Taisho Period. Although other studies have concluded that Osanai 's faith in Oomoto was a temporary delusion, his belief was not a form of madness. Osanai developed his own rationale for believing in Oomoto. Oomoto used its own newspapers to publicize prophecies that the world would be reborn in 1921. These publication activities were unanimously criticized by the mainstream mass media. The mass media held up Osanai as a prime example of the "ignorant intellecrual" who believed in heretical prophecies. However, Osanai's texts and his film entitled Mysterious Ayabe showed that the narure of his faith was clearly different from the image constructed by the mass media made. There were two points which attracted Osanai to Oomoto. One was that the canon of Oomoto forcefully declared that each follower had to affirm the canon as absolute truth. The other was that the followers who believed in the canon formed a strong community. Why did these two aspects of Oomoto attract Osanai? Osanai was worried about how the general public did not share his artistic values. Therefore, Osanai faced a dilemma: He would become out of date if he ignored the people who were the symbol of the new age, or he would have to fundamentally change his art if he catered their wishes. Osanai yearned for Oomoto community because Oomoto followers shared one value and formed a sense of solidarity in that value. The Oomoto community represented the ideal relationship between art and the people which Osanai wanted to form but could never achieve. In short, for Osanai, faith in Oomoto was a solution to the conflict between art and the people., p.191の画像は都合により掲載しておりません。}, pages = {180--192}, title = {共同体への憧憬 : 小山内薫の芸術観と大本教信仰}, volume = {2}, year = {2011} }
