This work contains sharp criticism of the war issue of the author Akutagawa Ryunosuke.In other words, Japan won the Sino-Japanese War and secured a bridgehead to advance into the continent, but behind it was also a by-product of the war.The text is a by-product of the Sino-Japanese War and depicts the fate of a woman brought from Qing.A year after this work, Akutagawa made Shogun Maresuke Nogi as the main character against the backdrop of the Russo-Japanese War and raised historical issues such as war, imperial historical view, and militarism.Two years later, "Kim Syo-gun" (February of Taisho 13) highlights the issue of historical perception, featuring General Kim Eung-seo of Joseon against the backdrop of the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, saying, "The history of any country must be a glorious history for its people." In "Momotaro" (July of Taisho 13), he parodyed Momotaro of fairy tale, criticizing Japan's aggressive war and militarism. In other words, Akutagawa not only published this work, but also subsequently published works on war issues. The text depicts the pitiable life of the main character, Oren. She was a victim of the Sino-Japanese War.She was a victim of the Sino-Japanese War. Because of the Sino-Japanese War, she had to leave the country because her lover's Kim was attacked in the dark.Akutagawa, the author, is exposing the evils of the war due to the misfortune of a woman named Mo keiren, who was hidden behind the Sino-Japanese War. In addition,Akutagawa finished his work due to Makino's circumstances.Akutagawa says, "Makino is also a pitiful man." Makino brought the enemy woman Mo keiren into Japan and made her a concubine, but her actions would not be free from the disgraceful criticism that they damaged the dignity of military personnel.Akutagawa criticized the Russo-Japanese War and imperialism by announcing "Shogun" the following year,but in "Mysteriouse Reunion" he criticized the war through Oren and MakiNo.
