Abstract

This study aims to reveal the psychological aspects of the main character in Eiji Yoshikawa’s novel Musashi, using Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory. Using qualitative descriptive methods and a literary psychology approach, this study analyses how Musashi’s life struggles illustrate his efforts to fulfil the five levels of human needs, namely physiological needs, safety, love and belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization. The results show that Musashi’s character development is a complex and gradual process, beginning with his efforts to survive physically after the war, his search for moral purpose through the guidance of Takuan Soho, his inner conflict regarding his relationship with Otsu, and concluding with his search for recognition through the battles he fought. The culmination of this achievement is when Musashi realizes that the true victory is not defeating opponents but controlling oneself. This understanding underwent a comprehensive psychological change in line with the fulfilment of needs at each level of Maslow’s hierarchy. With a literary psychology approach, Musashi is not only understood as a story revolving around battle and honour, but also as an existential narrative about a person struggling to achieve self-recognition. This research offers a deeper insight into the relationship between psychology and literature, demonstrating that fictional characters created by authors can illustrate the dynamics of personality that humans also experience in general.

Abstract

Moral education (doutoku kyouiku) is fundamental in shaping students’ characters so that they become independent individuals who are able to adapt to their social environment in accordance with the values that prevail in society. This article aims to examine the implementation of moral education at the elementary education level in Japan, as well as its integration into kyuushoku (school lunch) activities. This study uses a literature review method based on curriculum documents, education regulations, and previous research results. The results show that moral education (doutoku kyouiku) and school lunch practices (kyuushoku) in primary and secondary education in Japan are designed in an integrated manner, with doutoku providing a framework of values and kyuushoku embodying them in shared meals that cultivate responsibility, discipline, gratitude, ecological awareness, and cross-cultural openness. Kyuushoku has evolved from a nutritional fulfillment program into a hidden curriculum that integrates moral values, health, national identity, and sustainability through shokuiku policies and inter-ministerial collaboration. The integration of the two at the compulsory education level makes doutoku–kyuushoku a driving force in shaping the character of Japanese citizens who are healthy, locally rooted yet cosmopolitan, and contribute to the development of Japan’s social capital.
