In the study of Soseki, it is often pointed out that Kojin contains structural fissures, a feature which is similarly observed in his preceding work, Higan sugi made (Until After The Equinox). However, the perception of these so-called structural fissures is result of a misleading attempt to consider the narrative world of Kojin in terms of either "a tale of Ichiro" or, on the contrary, "a tale of Jiro". Kojin is in fact neither a tale of Ichiro nor one of Jiro. In a careful examination focusing on its narrative structure and structural mechanism, Kojin turns out to be a "narrative of interrelatedness" among Ichiro, Jiro and Onao. A detailed analysis of the narrative world of the "narrative of interrelatedness" which is formed among the three characters has been made previously (ESSAYS AND STUDIES, Vol. XLI, published in March, 1992, by Tokyo Woman's Christian University). The present essey attempts to clarify the "narrative structure" which is most deeply involved in the narrative formation of Kojin and which is further developed in Soseki's subsequent work, Kokoro (The Heart). In the course of the study, in remarking on the relationship to the "narrative structure" which Soseki displays in Higan sugi made, special analyses are made of the following three points; (i) the effect which the chapter of "Tomodachi" ("A Friend"), has on Kojin, (ii) the narrative point of view, and (iii) the functions of "H's letter".
