| Abstract | ||||
| The relationship between the people of Japan and nature started at with the dawn of time, taking influences from authentic Japanese beliefs starting from Shintoism which believed in the divinity of nature and all its elements or what is recognized as animism; however, with time, the Japanese society in all began to develop and take on western influences in both ideology and religious belief as well as literary expression. Japanese authors, much like the rest of society, took in these influences whether political, ideological, or literary. Furthermore, each author reflected their own individual influences into their depiction of nature. Western influences meant for the most part a modern approach, while traditional influences meant, for some, a fight for authentic Japanese views. The author has decided to take up Kunikida Doppo as an example of the earlier and Kawabata Yasunari as an example of the latter as well as other influential writers of the modern era. | ||||
