Abstract: (36 Views)
A comparative look at the culture and literary and artistic works of the two countries of Iran and Japan is one of the ways that can show researchers some of the similarities in these rich civilizational areas and perhaps lead to a path to discovering further interactions. From this perspective, this article attempts to answer the main question using a descriptive-analytical method and a comparative and intertextual approach: Given the contemporaneity of the formation of the Japanese legend of the Bamboo Cutter (which is the basis for the adaptation of the animated film The Tale of Princess Kaguya) and the Black-clad Tale of the Nezami’s Haft Peykar, what similarities exist between them and what possible results can be imagined from it. Accordingly, it seems that the similar story framework in the beginning, the end, and the tragic ending, the close functioning of the main and secondary characters with the centrality of the lyrical theme, the importance of the female role in the high position of the beloved, and the creation of similar atmospheres in the two stories within the framework of symbolic expression, are all cases that show that despite the profound differences between the two civilizations of the East and West of the continent, these two stories have significant similarities with each other and the existence of some kind of cultural interactions between Iranian and Japanese literature can be considered probable.
