This paper is to study on the meaning of deaths of Soeda and Hozumi in Between God and Human by Tanizaki Jyunichiro, of which the plot deals with the case of Odawara. In addition, the analytical observation was carried out on the connotative meaning of the book title. Soeda, who had lived all his life as a wicked man, disregarded a true life. His whole life was fixed on future from the present in his gaze. Therefore, in that he failed to look into his internal self, he was as good as murdered by an external world. However, at the moment of his imminent death, he felt the pain that he had had before, and finally he realized the cause of his pain. That is to say, he was greatly tortured by looking into his internal life turning his eyes on the past. From that remorse, and from the recognition that he was killed by outside world, his real death could be possible. Meanwhile, Hozumi, who had agonized between ‘God’ and ‘human’ in order to eliminate ‘evil’, made up his mind to become an evil god in the end. However, after witnessing the true figure of human at the death of Soeda, Hozumi no longer stand his appearance of evil god, eventually returning back to ‘human’. At last, his last choice he had made was a death in order not to make even Asako a wicked human. Human being might possibly be snobs in some sense. Consequently, men may recognize the moment of softness with the wisdom of hindsight only at the imminent death. But there may be a possibility to find out and taste this softness long before physical death, that is, our heart stops and our brain lose its cognitive function, arrives.
