1940年代日本期刊中《江格尔》相关插图的几个问题

Issues on Related Illustrations of Jangar in Japanese Magazine during the 1940s

本文通过研究1940年11月至1942年8月期间在日本出版的《蒙古》期刊中关于《江格尔》的插图艺术,更正了以往研究中提出的“《江格尔》的每篇日译文中均有插图”、“共有19幅插图”、“使用W·法兀如斯基的绘画作品进行点缀”以及“插图与篇章内容关联密切”等不符实际情况的观点。具体而言,首先,并未在《江格尔》所有日译文中均用插图,而只在1941年7月之后的译文刊本中才出现插图,且在该期刊封面及其他作品中也出现使用《江格尔》相关插图的现象。其次,插图数量并非19幅,而是由重复绘画数量25幅(非重复绘画数量20幅)和2幅照片构成的共有27幅插图。第三,《江格尔》相关插图并非仅用画家W·法兀如斯基的绘画作品,实际上包含了B·法夫尔斯基、G·耶切伊斯托瓦、N·费德亚耶夫斯基、F·君士但丁诺娃等5位画家的绘画作品,而且出版时编辑并未关注作品内容与《江格尔》插图之间的相符合等问题。

This study examines the illustrations,journal covers,and other visual representations related to Jangar published in the Japanese magazine Mongol between November 1940 and August 1942.It corrects several misconceptions from previous research,such as the assertion that every Japanese translation of Jangar included illustrations,the count of 19 illustrations,the exclusive use of W.Fawrusky's artwork,and the close connection between illustrations and text.In reality,illustrations appeared only in the translated Jangar stories published after July 194l,and 27 images were used,consisting of 25 unique and repeated illustrations(20 non-repeating)and two photographs.Additionally,illustrations were contributed by five artists such as B.Fawrusky,G.Yecheistova,N.Fedyaevsky,F.Konstantinova,and W.Fawrusky.The editors did not always ensure that the illustrations aligned with the content of Jangar.
