In this paper, the figure of "Katago" that appears in the tales of old Japan will be analyzed and the issue of the Japanese returnee students and the present Japanese culture will be discussed. Katago is a 10 year old boy born between a father who is an oni (Japanese ogre) and mother (Japanese) who was taken away by Oni to his country. Katago dedicates himself to bring his mother back to Japan and they finally succeed in returning to Japan. However, he finally commits suicide because of having difficulties living with Japanese people. According to Kawai(Kawai,1994), most of the stories where Katago suffers from his/her duality, being a ogre and a human at the same time, ends with his death. Kawai analyzes the "Katago" from a cultural and psychological perspective and he concludes although Katago's death is almost inevitable, it is the task of Japanese culture not letting the Katago die, as he entails indispensable elements to regenerate the Japanese culture. However, the following two points have not been sufficiently examined; The first point is "why" the Katago has trouble living in Japan. And the second point is what actually happens in the psyche of Katago that leads to his death. The third point is, what kind of possibilities exists that enable Katago to live. Hence, the three points have been examined and discussed on the basis of some case studies children raised up by two different cultures and societies.

戦争は、戦争を体験したあらゆる世代に深い傷を残すが、戦争が終わり、戦争を体験していない子どもたちが、戦争を経験した者と生活を共にする場合、様々な有形・無形の影響を受けている可能性がある。また、これらの子どもたちにとって、戦争を経験した者の体験や記憶をいかに受け継ぎ、次の世代に引き継いでいくのかということも重要なテーマと思われる。本論では、筆者が幼少期から思春期にかけて滞在した欧州で第一次・第二次世界大戦を経験した戦争体験者との記憶と体験をてがかりに、戦争や、人間、社会のあり方について論じてみたい。
