Abstract SEIHO NO HITO written as Akutagawa's reexamination of the New Testament life of Jesus indicates the author's view of Jesus himself and of Christianity in general. In this short essay, I treat the firs...t chapter of "SEIHO NO HITO" written as a preface under the title of "Ecce Homo" and I explain Akutagawa's interest for the Japanese Christianity. I conclude that the motif of "SEIHO NO HITO" was the rewriting of Jesus as a man, not as God, showing Akutagawa's distance from God and his sympathy for a human Jesus.show more
