Matsuzo Kakiuchi - Matsuzo Kakiuchi

A scholar of Japanese literature and Japanese language education. Born into the Yose family in Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, he was adopted by his relative, Unrin Kakiuchi (1846-1919). After graduating from the Faculty of Letters of the Imperial University of Tokyo, he became a professor at Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School (now Ochanomizu University), before going on to become a professor at Tokyo Higher Normal School (later Tokyo University of Literature and Science), and also served as a lecturer at Tokyo University of Literature and Science (now University of Tsukuba). Referring to Western academic theories, he reexamined the theories of traditional scholars of Japanese language and literature, and devoted himself to pioneering research methods for the Japanese language and Japanese literature. His hermeneutics and figurative theory (viewing linguistic expression as a unified entity of content and form) had a wide impact not only on Japanese literature research, but also on Japanese language education. His books include "The Power of the Japanese Language" (1922), "Criticism and Introspection of Japanese Language Professors" (1927), and "Speaking of Language Figurativeness" (1940).

国文学者、国語教育学者。岐阜県高山の代情(よせ)家に生まれ、親戚(しんせき)の垣内雲麟(うんりん)（1846―1919）の養子となる。東京帝国大学文科大学卒業後、東京女子高等師範学校（現、お茶の水女子大学）教授を経て東京高等師範学校（後の東京文理科大学）教授となり、東京文理科大学（現、筑波(つくば)大学）講師も務めた。欧米の学説を参照しながら、旧来の国学者の説を検討し直し、国語・国文学研究法の開拓に力を注いだ。その主唱した解釈学、形象理論（言語表現を内容と形式の統一体とみる）は、国文学研究に限らず、国語教育にも広く影響を与えた。著書に『国語の力』（1922）、『国語教授の批判と内省』（1927）、『言語形象性を語る』（1940）などがある。
