This paper examines aspects of the Great East Japan Earthquake (3.11) that appear in the historical novel “Kurikara Goten” by Miyuki Miyabe, a Japanese social mystery writer, and the potential of this work as disaster literature. After the outbreak of 3.11, a new critical term emerged in the Japanese literary world: “earthquake literature.” Earthquake disaster literature has characteristics such as reflection and criticism on modern civilization linked to the nuclear accident, comfort and healing for those who have been traumatized by the disaster, and a record of the disaster and the presentation of lessons. During this period of confusion and despair following the great disaster, Miyabe published this work, which has the characteristics of earthquake disaster literature, using the Edo period background and adding literary imagination and interpretation. Through this, we convey our feelings of comfort and repose to those who were sacrificed or left behind by the disaster, especially children, and we also fulfill the role that literature should play as a tool to remember and record disasters. I found out that there is.
