  • Matsuo ■ Basho
    ; : TWAYNE'S WORLD AUTHORS SERIES A SURVEY OF THE WORLD'S LITERATURE ! MATSUO ■ BASHO MAKOTO UEDA JAPAN MATSUO BASHO by MAKOTO UEDA The particular value of this study of Matsuo Basho is obvious: this is the first book in English that gives a comprehen­ sive view of the famed Japanese poet’s works. Since the Japanese haiku was en­ thusiastically received by the Imagists early in this century, Basho has gained a world-wide recognition as the foremost writer in that miniature verse form; he is now regarded as a poet of the highest cali­ ber in world literature. Yet there has been no extensive study of Basho in Eng­ lish, and consequently he has remained a rather remote, mystical figure in the minds of those who do not read Japanese. This book examines Basho not only as a haiku poet but as a critic, essayist and linked-verse writer; it brings to light the whole range of his literary achievements that have been unknown to most readers in the West. * . 0S2 VS m £ ■ ■y.

  • Explaining Ukiyo-E
    + EXPLAINING UKIYO-E DAVID BELL A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand November 2002 2 ABSTRACT The term ukiyo-e refers to a distinctive phenomenon in Japanese art. Ukiyo-e can be defined temporally, geographically and socially; most importantly, it developed its own distinctive stylistic character. Most studies of ukiyo-e have been founded on a descriptive mode: they have sought to identify its principal characteristics, and to describe the different projects of its various schools and artists. Recent research has shifted into a more explanatory mode, locating explanations of ukiyo-e‟s distinctive pictorial character in descriptions of the socio-cultural context to which it pertained. This project seeks to establish richer explanations for the pictorial character of ukiyo-e. It argues that appropriate explanations may be found through a critical appraisal of the conditions which constrained and stimulated the enterprises of ukiyo-e artists. It finds these conditions to be manifest in the conceptual foundations that informed its artists; in the ways artists learned the knowledge and skills of their craft; in the sorts of function ukiyo-e pictures were required to perform; and in two conditions of the artists‟ medium: pictorial devices or conventions and the spatial constraints of their media, and the material conditions with which they worked. No matter how closely works of ukiyo-e artists conformed to the pictorial character common to the school as a whole, each individual also followed an independent pathway. The final chapter acknowledges the ways individual artists were disposed to work differently within the auspices of the broader enterprise.

  • STR Hit Dice: 1D8 Maximum Level: None Bushi Are Common Warriors Without Obligations to Feudal Lords, Temples, Or Monasteries
    BUSHI Requirements: STR 8 Prime Requisite: STR Hit Dice: 1d8 Maximum Level: None Bushi are common warriors without obligations to feudal lords, temples, or monasteries. They are often wandering mer- cenaries, earning a living by any means possible. They are not above brigandage when times are rough. Bushi are not restricted from any weapons or armor. Special Abilities Nimbleness: Bushi are often poor and have learned to survive with little armor protection. In addition to a DEX bonus to their Armor Class, a Bushi receives a drop of 1 level in AC for every 3 levels of experience starting at 3rd level. Scrounging: Being poor, the Bushi has become a master at finding needed equipment. A Bushi can find “free” adventur- ing equipment on a successful d20 roll in any village, castle town, or city. Cut Purse: In addition to scrounging, Bushi have learned to cut the strings of purses in order to gain a few coins. To determine success roll d100 and compare to the % chance to succeed based on the Bushi’s level, any roll of 95 or greater results in the victim noticing the attempt. Fierce Shout: When entering combat with a fierce shout, they temporarily (the duration is the length of the combat) gain 2d8 hit points (all damage is taken from this temporary pool first), and a +2 to hit and damage. This ability can be used once per day. Establish Stronghold: At 9th level, a Bushi can clear an area of land and claim it as his own (becoming a Daimyo). Once he builds a castle, he will attract a body of fellow Bushi to serve him, and even a small cadre of Samurai will arrive to serve the new warlord.
