Miyazawa Kenji's short story, "Nametoko Yama No Kuma(Bears in Mt.Nametoko, Iwate Prefecture)" illustrats his idea on life and death by showing ancient Japanese traditions. It was written when Japan was trying to accept aspects of the Western cultures, such as natural science, which was both strange, and very atractive to Japanese. However, traditional Japanese did not know how to appreciate nature objectively, which divides the world into man and other creatures. Japanese, who were inseparable from nature, or the whole world, had to work hard to become independent of nature, observing the structure and elements of the world. It was painful work to be individual, or to see nature objectively. After this experience, man started to live in a new "solitude". In "Nametoko Yama No Kuma", the hunter's death shows the solitude of the modern man who wished to live in accordance with nature, but failed. His death is a key for Japanese to merge into the world and to be a whole one.
