Natsume Soseki admired Chinese literati such as Tao Yuanming and Wang Wei. One can see how these literati influenced Soseki from his diary and his correspondence with friends. Wang Wei’s influence is especially prominent, specifically, in the area of literati paintings ("Nanga"); Soseki’s views showed significant connections to Wang Wei’s. However, these influences are not only limited to literati paintings ("nanga"), one can also find the presence of Wang Wei’s ideas in Soseki’s Chinese poetry. Cheng, Ching-Mao stated in his book "Chinese Literature in Japan": "We can’t deny the fact that these poems show influences from Tang dynasty poets, especially Wang Wei. Nevertheless, these poems are never mere imitations; we can catch a glimpse of Soseki’s state of mind through them. "This commentary emphasized how, while influenced by Wang Wei, Soseki created his own world of literature. The fourth stage of Soseki’s Chinese poetry, painting poetry, has reached the pinnacle of literati painting ideals: the concept of "paintings within poetry". In this type of Chinese poetry, apart from the expression of poets’ views, colors are often incorporated to create a visual atmosphere. How colors are incorporated into these Chinese poems, and what effect the frequent appearance of said color(s) have on these poems are topics to be discussed. In this paper, the author will examine the how Soseki incorporates colors into his painting poetry, compare and contrast it with Wang Wei’s famous"Wheel River Collection" ("Wangchuan ji"), explore the meanings behind these colors, and identify Soseki’s originality in these poems.
