『와칸하나시카이(和漢はなし会)』 의 골계미 연구

This study is a review of Golgyemi (comic beauty) of 『Wakanhanasikai,』which tells stories about Samurai, Ronin,･women at bars, prostitutes, husbands and wives, the disabled, Joruri and Kabuki. As a result of the study, the following was found; 1. In the stories of Samurai and Ronin, the humor was mainly used to describe Samurais who had little dignity and prestige and Ronins who suffered hardships in life. 2. Regarding women at bars and prostitutes, rather than licentious stories about sex, the essential humor was conveyed using funny episodes and failed sex stories. 3. Most stories about husbands and wives talked about the wife’s excessive makeup, their sexual relationship, a wife’s low intelligence, a husband who was beaten by his wife, a wife’s adultery, etc., but there were some surreal stories such as talking about a wife cutting her neck, which was used as a point of laughter. 4. Concerning Joruri and Kabuki, the comic materials regarded the Kabuki actor’s skin care or nonsensical happenings during the performance. 5. Stories of the disabled focused on bluffing as the humorous point, such as crossing the river without clothes because of being crippled or a deaf old man pretending that he could hear.
