Takamura Kōtaro, one of the most distinguished poets in the modern literary history in Japan, has been discussed from many points of view. It is a common approach for exploring the reality of the poet who took the initiative in singing “Ego and Self in Modernity of peculiar atomosphere in peculiar country“ through his personal experiences abroad, especially his encounters in London and Paris.Though several fruitful contributions to an understanding of this great poet have appeared in the last two or three decades, it is often impossible to discover any commentaries on his life in the United States.The aim of this paper is twofold: to indicate how Takamura Kōtaro lived in New York and indicate a more comprehensive view for touching the heart of his poems. At the same time, I focus on the relationship between a Jap art student Kōtaro and an American sculptor Gutzon Borglum in this study and try to broaden the horizons of the disputes over this poet.
