The Contrast of "Red World" and "Blue World" in Natsume Soseki's "Sorekara": A Look at Recent Politics In Natsume Soseki's novel "Sorekara," the world surrounding the protagonist, Daisuke, is symbolically depicted through two contrasting colors: the "Red World" and the "Blue World." The "Red World" represents a world dominated by worldly desires and utilitarian rationality, embodied by Daisuke's brother and his friend Hiraoka. On the other hand, the "Blue World" represents the world where Daisuke seeks spiritual fulfillment and aesthetic values, symbolized by Daisuke himself and the woman he is attracted to, Michiyo. The contrast between these two worlds is a useful concept for explaining phenomena seen in modern politics. In recent years, in the world of politics, "Red World" values that emphasize economic growth and efficiency have become dominant, while "Blue World" elements such as people's emotions and ethical values cannot be ignored. The Shift from the Rational "Red World" to the Emotional "Blue World" In the past, politics was mainly conducted based on rational policy decisions. Economic indicators and efficiency were emphasized, and emotional elements tended to be excluded. However, in recent years, the importance of emotions in politics has been recognized, and political methods that appeal to people's emotions such as dissatisfaction, anxiety, and expectations have emerged. For example, in the 2016 US presidential election, Donald Trump skillfully appealed to emotions such as dissatisfaction with existing politicians and anxiety about social change, gaining public support. Also, in the UK's withdrawal from the EU (Brexit), emotional factors such as immigration issues and national sovereignty had a significant impact on the outcome of the national referendum. The Growing Importance of the "Blue World" The rise of such political methods that appeal to emotions indicates the growing importance of the "Blue World." People seek not only economic wealth and efficiency, but also elements such as spiritual richness, ethical values, and social connections. Politicians are required to understand these elements and show a stance of empathizing with people's emotions. The Balance of the "Red World" and the "Blue World" Of course, "Red World" rationality is also an important element in politics. Economic growth and improved efficiency are essential for social development. However, people's happiness cannot be realized by that alone. It is important to strike a balance with "Blue World" elements, namely people's emotions, ethical values, and social connections. Politicians need to understand both the "Red World" and the "Blue World" and make balanced policy decisions. While emphasizing economic growth, they also need to empathize with people's emotions and value social connections. Such politics is what is required in the coming era. Conclusion The contrast between the "Red World" and the "Blue World" in Natsume Soseki's "Sorekara" is a useful concept for explaining the conflict between rationality and emotion in modern politics. In recent years, emotional factors have increased in importance in the world of politics, and politicians are required to show a stance of empathizing with people's emotions. Politics that realizes people's happiness while balancing the "Red World" and the "Blue World" is necessary in the coming era.
