 note = {application/pdf, Yoshikichi Furui’s “Yôko”（1970） was awarded the Akutagawa Award in 1971. This work, written in the third person, is about a young man referred to as ‘him’ and a young woman called Yôko who is mentally troubled, and starts from when they meet at the bottom of the valley in a mountain and follows their interaction for approximately one year. 
In past studies, “Yôko” has been described as work that pioneered the post-modern situation of disassembling self-identity. However, the fact that Yôko’s body changes moment by moment through her relationship with him has come to be overlooked. Therefore, in this paper, we focussed on the depiction of Yôko’s body and analyzed how it changes. Also it reveals that her relationship with him also changes as Yôko’s body changes. 
Firstly, in the beginning of the first chapter, he suggests that Yôko’s body is in the conflict of diffusion and contraction, and that him and Yôko resonate and alienate through the body. Moreover, the remaining chapters 2 to 8 are divided into 3 parts according to the change in Yôko’s body. The first is the stage when Yôko’s body repeatedly contracts and diffuses from the 2nd chapter to the 3rd chapter, and reverses swiftly. At this stage, he sees Yôko as sick and is trying to treat the disease. The second is the stage where Yôko’s body changes to a weighty one with a sense of reality in the 4th and 5th chapters. At this stage, he abandons treating Yôko’s disease and starts hoping to unite with Yôko. The third is the stage where Yôko’s body oscillates like a thin membrane to realize life in chapters 6 to 8. 
The oscillating body of Yôko has the possibility of self-producing a new body by oscillating the boundary between inside and out. For such Yôko, it is concluded that they are living together by just being in the vicinity and in contact. As mentioned above, in this paper, I clarified that the possibility of a completely new life rooted in the body is drawn in “Yôko”.},
