Abstract

This study investigates the types and functions of ontological metaphors in Genbaku Shishū by Tōge Sankichi, focusing on how they represent the physical and psychological impact of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. Using a qualitative method with a stylistic approach and content analysis, the study is grounded in Lakoff and Johnson’s conceptual metaphor theory. Ontological metaphors found in the poems were categorized into five types: thought, event, emotion, inanimate object, and body part. A total of 192 lines containing ontological metaphors were identified. Body part metaphors are the most dominant (107 lines), followed by inanimate objects (60), emotions (13), events (8), and thoughts (4). These metaphors express abstract experiences—pain, trauma, and memory—as concrete entities, enhancing emotional depth and imagery. The study concludes that ontological metaphors strengthen the poetic expression of historical trauma and deepen readers’ engagement with the victims’ lived experiences.

Notes for Usage of Generative AI in Scientific Writing

The following guidance refers only to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process:

Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be used in the writing process to improve the readability and language of the manuscript.
The technology must be applied with human oversight and control and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
Authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
Authors must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author on the manuscript since authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.
The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing must be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when the paper is first submitted.
We do not permit the use of Generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts.
The use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools in the production of artwork such as for graphical abstracts is not permitted. The use of generative AI in the production of cover art may in some cases be allowed, if the author obtains prior permission from the journal editor and publisher, can demonstrate that all necessary rights have been cleared for the use of the relevant material, and ensures that there is correct content attribution.
