However, it was actually an allegorical story for adults on issues of concern to the local community. One of the themes is about the romance of Signal-less (the Iwate Light Railway), which is separate from but in love with Signal, the main line. This theme stands for the effort to link the Iwate Light Railway (previously a private railway, most of which is currently the JR Kamaishi Line) to the Tohokuhonsen Line of the Japan National Railways Corporation (currently JR) by nationalizing the Iwate Light Railway. The second allegorical theme of the work is about the romance between Takeo Arishima and Nobuko Kono. In this story, Takeo Arishima loves Nobuko, Inazo Nitobe’s niece. However, Takeo’s father Takeshi Arishima, who was influential in nationalizing the railway, opposed his son’s marriage to Nobuko, the daughter of a midwife, because she was born into a different social class. This provoked the people of Hanamaki, the hometown of the Nitobe family. The third allegorical theme is about the dulcet tones of the spheres represented by Pythagorean tuning. Unlike Earth, which is filled with conflict and contradictions, Heaven produces a sweet harmony that melts the hearts of lovers. In other words, “Signal and Signal-less” is a work on three allegorical levels: Heaven for the dulcet tones of heavenly music, Earth for the efforts of a local community to nationalize the light railway, and people for the romance between Takeo Arishima and Nobuko Kono, which came to nothing.}, pages = {177--196}, title = {宮沢賢治「シグナルとシグナレス」の三重の寓意 ― 岩手軽便鉄道国有化問題と有島武郎の恋と天球の音楽と ―}, volume = {17}, year = {2016}, yomi = {ヨネチ , フミオ} }
