 诗词： 《短歌（选二）》    阅读石川啄木 Takuboku Ishikawa在诗海的作品!!!

歌人、诗人、评论家。早期受明星派浪漫主义诗风的影响，继之又曾致力于自然主义小说的写作。以“大逆事件”为转折点，啄木趋向社会主义思想。 1905年发表第一部诗集《憧憬》，被誉为少年诗人。歌集《一握砂》(1910)和《可悲的玩具》(1912)，诗集《叫子和口哨》(1913)以及评论《时代闭塞的现状》(1910)是他的代表著作。啄木的歌集开创了日本短歌的新时代。在内容上他使短歌这一古老的文学形式与日本人民的现实生活相联系，冲破了传统的狭隘题材。他用现代口语来写短歌，在形式上也有创新，打破了三十一个音一行的传统形式，创造出二十一个音三行的独特格式。啄木一生坎坷，1912年，年仅26岁，即在贫病交加中与世长辞。

石川啄木（1886年2月20日－1912年4月13日），日本明治时代诗人、小说家与评论家，石川啄木是他的笔名，本名为石川一，别号白萍。

生平

石川啄木出生于日本岩手县南岩手郡日户村（现盛冈市日户），出身贫苦；曾任小学教师、新闻记者。早期诗歌带有浪漫主义色彩；后写小说，创作由浪漫主义转为自然主义；1911年因明治政府迫害进步人士，思想开始转变，逐渐倾向批判现实主义。1912年因肺结核于东京市小石川区（现文京区）病逝，得年26岁。

著作

他的主要作品有诗歌集《憧憬》、《叫子与口哨》、《可悲的玩具》和《一握之砂》；著有小说《病院的床》和《鸟影》等。并有评论《时代闭塞之现状》，对自然主义提出批判。他对日本的古典民族诗歌进行了革新，打破短歌一行诗的陈规，新创了一种散文式的短歌形式，为日本诗歌的发展作出了重要贡献。

1910年8月，日本与韩国合并，他写下“地图上，墨迹涂染朝鲜国，听着秋风。”（地図の上朝鮮国にくろぐろと墨を塗りつつ秋風を聴く）。

作品

• 《一握之砂》

石川啄木生前公开正式出版的唯一的短歌集，共收短歌五五一首，为一九○八年至一九一○之间的作品，分为〈爱我之歌〉、〈烟〉、〈秋风送爽〉、〈难忘的人〉、〈脱下手套时〉五个部分。这是石川啄木的一部重要的抒情诗集。写下了自己的生活回忆、怀念自己的故乡、少年时代的往事，背井离乡、颠沛流离生活，以及生命晚期受肺病与家庭困苦的磨难。诗集中并有风格的转变，可说是石川啄木的诗歌艺术的缩影。

• 《悲伤的玩具》

共收啄木一九一○年十一月末起，到二十六岁死前所写的一九四首短歌。于啄木死后当年六月出版。啄木曾形容，和歌已成为他“悲伤的玩具”，面临家中婆媳不和而妻子离家、幼子夭折、言论不自由、文学事业上又不得志，使他思想上产生了极大的苦闷，虽然生命极苦，也有过寻死的念头与放浪的逃避，但他始终坚信自己的理想，在他所熟悉的和歌中，寻找艺术的价值。

Takuboku Ishikawa (石川 啄木, Ishikawa Takuboku, February 20, 1886 – April 13, 1912) was a Japanese poet. He died of tuberculosis. Well known as both a tanka and "modern-style" (新体詩, shintaishi) or "free-style" (自由詩, jiyūshi) poet, he began as a member of the Myōjō group of naturalist poets but later joined the "socialistic" group of Japanese poets and renounced naturalism.

Major works

His major works were two volumes of tanka poems plus his diaries:

• Ichiaku no Suna (一握の砂) (A Handful of Sand) 1910
• Kanashiki gangu (Sad Toys) published posthumously in 1912

Diaries

Ishikawa wrote some of his diaries in the Latin script transliteration of Japanese so that his wife could not read them.

In popular culture

A fictionalised Ishikawa appears in the anime Woodpecker Detective's Office.

Ishikawa is summoned as a Pseudo-Servant in the body of Makidera Kaede in the Fate/Grand Order X Himuro's World crossover episode.
