Shaping Darkness in Hyakki Yagyō Emaki
Asian Studies III (XIX), 1 (2015), pp.9–27 Shaping Darkness in hyakki yagyō emaki Raluca NICOLAE* Abstract In Japanese culture, the yōkai, the numinous creatures inhabiting the other world and, sometimes, the boundary between our world and the other, are obvious manifestations of the feeling of fear, “translated” into text and image. Among the numerous emaki in which the yōkai appear, there is a specific type, called hyakki yagyō (the night parade of one hundred demons), where all sorts and sizes of monsters flock together to enjoy themselves at night, but, in the end, are scattered away by the first beams of light or by the mysterious darani no hi, the fire produced by a powerful magical invocation, used in the Buddhist sect Shingon. The nexus of this emakimono is their great number, hyakki, (one hundred demons being a generic term which encompasses a large variety of yōkai and oni) as well as the night––the very time when darkness becomes flesh and blood and starts marching on the streets. Keywords: yōkai, night, parade, painted scrolls, fear Izvleček Yōkai (prikazni, demoni) so v japonski kulturi nadnaravna bitja, ki naseljuje drug svet in včasih tudi mejo med našim in drugim svetom ter so očitno manifestacija občutka strahu “prevedena” v besedila in podobe. Med številnimi slikami na zvitkih (emaki), kjer se prikazni pojavljajo, obstaja poseben tip, ki se imenuje hyakki yagyō (nočna parade stotih demonov), kjer se zberejo pošasti različne vrste in velikosti, da bi uživali v noči, vendar jih na koncu preženejo prvi žarki svetlobe ali skrivnosten darani no hi, ogenj, ki se pojavi z močnim magičnim zaklinjanje in se uporablja pri budistični sekti Shingon. -

At university she stud- ied the literature of the Heian period (the ancient Japanese era lasting from the 8th to 12 centuries AD). She was deeply attracted to stories of ghosts and ogres in Genji Monogatari (The Tale of Genji), and fell more and more into the world of traditional folklore. She currently lives in Osaka with her husband and two sons. There was a long era of writing stories that I wanted to read for myself. The origin of my creativity is the desire to write about a wonderous world that children can walk into from their everyday life. I want to write about the strange and mysterious world that I have loved since I was a child. 3 STATEMENT Recommendation of Yoko Tomiyasu for the Hans Christian Andersen Award Akira Nogami editor/critic Yoko Tomiyasu is one of Japan’s most popular Pond).” One hundred copies were printed.

Myths & Legends of Japan
Myths & Legends Of Japan By F. Hadland Davis Myths & Legends of Japan CHAPTER I: THE PERIOD OF THE GODS In the Beginning We are told that in the very beginning "Heaven and Earth were not yet separated, and the In and Yo not yet divided." This reminds us of other cosmogony stories. The In and Yo, corresponding to the Chinese Yang and Yin, were the male and female principles. It was more convenient for the old Japanese writers to imagine the coming into being of creation in terms not very remote from their own manner of birth. In Polynesian mythology we find pretty much the same conception, where Rangi and Papa represented Heaven and Earth, and further parallels may be found in Egyptian and other cosmogony stories. In nearly all we find the male and female principles taking a prominent, and after all very rational, place. We are told in theNihongi that these male and female principles "formed a chaotic mass like an egg which was of obscurely defined limits and contained germs." Eventually this egg was quickened into life, and the purer and clearer part was drawn out and formed Heaven, while the heavier element settled down and became Earth, which was "compared to the floating of a fish sporting on the surface of the water." A mysterious form resembling a reed-shoot suddenly appeared between Heaven and Earth, and as suddenly became transformed into a God called Kuni-toko- tachi, ("Land-eternal-stand-of-august-thing"). We may pass over the other divine births until we come to the important deities known as Izanagi and Izanami ("Male-who-invites" and "Female-who-invites"). -

THE FOX AND THE BADGER IN JAPANESE FOLKLORE. 6 From olden titnes down to tKe present day the fox has played the most important part in Japanese animal-lore. This clever brute is considered to be more skillful than any other ai~imalin taking human shape and haunting and possessing men. Moreover, the fox is the messenger of Inari, the Rice goddess, which, as we shall see below, is only a later expression of the fact that Inari, the Spirit of the Rice, was believed to have a vulpine shape. It is clear that this belief gave the fox a double character in the eyes of the Japanese people: that of a beneficent god, representing the Rice, the greatest blessing of the country, and, on the other hnnd, that of a wicked demon, haunting and possessing men. Not so important and complicated is the badger, of whose three kinds, the arnl~ki(@-I, mr~/i'~za(a) and 7tznrtzr (m,the first is the principal in folklore and is very orten combined with the fox in the term Lori (a@), or " foxes and badgers."'

Als Methoden werden Literatur-analyse, Textstruktur-analyse, vergleichende Volk- skunde, Anthropologie, Gender Studies und Psychologie verwendet; Interpretationen von japanischer Kultur, sozio-historische Realitaet, Philosophie, Religion, Aesthetik und Volksglauben sind auch inbe- griffen. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist eine einheitliche Klassifikation und eine vielseitige Interpretation der maennlichen Figuren und ist vorgesehen fuer eine grosse Leserschaft - von Spezialisten unterschiedlicher wissenschaflichen Richtungen, bus zum breiten Publikum.

TABLE OF CONTENTS, PART I Introduction 1 How to Use the Manual 1 Explanation of an Entry in the Romaji Section 2 Explanation of a Page in the Japanese Section 5 Explanation of an Entry in the Japanese Section 5 Romaji Section 7 Index by Readings of Kanji Characters 93 TABLE OF CONTENTS, PART II Japanese Section 1 INTRODUCTION This manual is mainly for the purpose of practicing the writing and reading of Japanese, in particular of kanji characters. This volume of the manual, Volume I, is divided in two parts and consists essentially of two sections, a romaji section (in Part I) where readings of sample Japanese words are presented in romaji, and a Japanese section (in Part II) where most of the same sample words are presented in printed Japanese, that is, in terms of kanji and kana characters in their printed form. The two sections are divided equally into groups, one per page. Each group in either section is made up of numbered entries, each entry addressing a specific kanji character. Given a group in the romaji section, say the fifth group, then the entries in this group address in the same order exactly the same set of kanji characters addressed by the entries in the fifth group in the Japanese section. Given an entry in a group (romaji or Japanese), it addresses one and only one kanji character in terms of one or two sets of sample words that contain the character when written in Japanese. If the entry is in the romaji section, one set contains, if any, readings (in romaji) of sample words with ON readings of the character. -

In this course, we will examine a wide selection of tales, including ancient myths, Buddhist-themed tales, and traditional folktales. We will also study the various manifestations of supernatural yōkai 妖怪 figures from folklore such as ghosts, shape-shifters, and demons in a variety of media, including woodblock prints, anime, and film. In addition, we will examine the ways in which social practice, spiritual beliefs, and political strategies have been linked to folklore in Japan. Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to: Identify key figures from folklore, and their characteristic features and behaviors, and explain why nearly all supernatural creatures have complex natures; Explain the roles played by certain animals in Japanese culture, and the changing attributes people have ascribed to them; Interpret the folk motifs in visual media, such as Japanese prints and anime; Interpret folktales from the perspectives of religious beliefs, social practice, and political ideology; Recognize similarities and differences between Japanese and European folktales with similar themes; Explain the symbolic meaning of social practices related to the relationship between the dead and the living; Understand the ways in which folklore has been strategically adapted to new contexts such as environmentalism and tourism promotion in the process of folklorism and town revitalization.
