Pagera Editor's Note

Ishikawa Takuboku argues that the word 'modern,' as bandied about by Meiji intellectuals, simply means 'impatient,' and that real reform demands reflection rather than rushed destruction. A pointed critique of his era.

Author

石川啄木

이시카와 다쿠보쿠(石川啄木, 1886-1912)는 일본의 시인이자 소설가, 평론가입니다. 짧은 생애 동안 '슬픔 장난감'(悲しき玩具) 등의 시집과 '구름은 천재이다'(雲は天才である) 등의 작품을 남겼으며, 단가 형식의 시에 자유로운 표현을 담아 일본 근대 시에 큰 영향을 미쳤습니다. 사회 비판적인 시각과 섬세한 감수성이 그의 작품의 특징입니다.
