Professor Jinguh analyzed many children’s stories inJapan, Europe and America and mainly discussed
Japanese children’s literature and its history, focusing on
fairy tales and Ogawa Mimei. He emphasized that the“douwa” (fairy tale) period in Japan shared common
themes, namely that of the quest for “Paradise”, in thesame way that the British fantasies of the latter 19th
century were in their creation of fairy tales, a form of quest
for a lost God.
