At the end of the story, the office was ordered to be disbanded by a lion who visited the office and was then abolished. My paper intends to clarify the fact that this work is a multiplex implication of the three worlds, or the political world, folksy world and Kanji's internal world. The implied political theme is the issue of the abolishment of "gun" (former administrative unit); the Hienuki Gun Office is the model of the Cat's Office as revealed from the descriptions in the novella of the location and role of the office and the personnel organization. The actual Hienuki Gun Office was abolished in June 30, 1926. "The Cat's Office" was published in March of this year. Although it was determined by the national government that the gun offices were going to be abolished, the offices were kept operational for a while. But under the austere fiscal policy of Finance Minister Osachi Hamaguchi, the decision to abolish the gun offices was officially put into effect, and the offices were abolished when Hamaguchi was the Interior Minister. The lion in this novella is Hamaguchi who was nicknamed lion. The folksy implications of this work are that one of the feline clerks who is blackened with soot from the cooking stove is called "kama-neko" (cooking stove cat) and that "Shishimai" or the Lion Dancer visited the office to pray for safety against fire. The lion is like a guardian angel for the kama-neko. It also indicates the feelings of Kenji himself as he self-examines the relationship with his coworkers. In other words, the disbandment of the Cat's Office by the lion is a caricature of the abolishment of the gun offices and the decision of Osachi Hamaguchi. The two characters, the kama-neko, who is the leading part, and the cruising lion were born out of the folk customconcerning the cooking stove, and "bullying" by the staff of the office is based on what Kenji himself experienced from his work., 4, KJ00005384715, 論文, Article}, pages = {17--34}, title = {宮沢賢治「猫の事務所」と郡役所廃止 : 政治的世界・民俗的世界・賢治の内面世界の重層性}, volume = {9}, year = {2007}, yomi = {ヨネチ, フミオ} }
