TEXT TRANSLATIONS 1 5 6 7 4 3 1 2 PLAN OF THE GALLERY LIFE IN EDO X RUSSEL WONG IN KYOTO 1 Russel Wong in Kyoto Japan, particularly Kyoto, has always drawn and inspired local and international photographers. Russel Wong’s interest in photographing Kyoto and its geisha community began during a visit to Tokyo in 2005 to shoot publicity photographs for Watanabe Ken when he was starring in Memoirs of a Geisha (2005). Kyoto came up during their conversation and this rekindled Wong’s passion to dig deeper. The film received mixed reviews; mostly disapproval and disdain from the geisha community in Kyoto. Despite its controversies, the film has contributed in recent years to public perceptions of and curiosity about Japanese geisha (Kyoto dialect, geiko). Wong feels that perhaps his photographs can give the geiko community – which hardly speaks and is seldom seen – a voice for an international audience. Geiko community The geiko community in Kyoto is a closed group and the traditional system of ichigen- san okotowari, “turning away first-timers” still rules in most teahouses today. It took Wong five years to gain access to the geiko communities in all five kagai (geisha districts, also known as hanamachi) in Kyoto. Inspired by woodblock prints In making this body of work, Wong was inspired by Edo-period woodblock prints by Kitagawa Utamaro, Katsushika Hokusai, and Utagawa Hiroshige. He was particularly drawn to the compositions, how the elements of the image work together, and by the silhouettes and portraits of the women depicted in them. Wong’s photographs are infused with his own sense of nostalgia. -
Ukiyo-E Japanese Prints Depicting the Floating World
Ukiyo-e Japanese Prints Depicting the Floating World Grade Level This lesson has been developed for an Asian Studies high-school class. It can be adjusted for grades 9-12. Objective To examine the significance and popularity of the ukiyo-e, Japanese woodblock prints depicting the Floating World during the Edo period (1615-1868). Concepts Courtesan—a woman of the pleasure quarters who entertained men through song, dance, poetry, and the art of conversation Floating World—a licensed area of teahouses, theaters, and establishments for leisure- time entertainment; often referred to as the pleasure quarters Kabuki—a form of popular drama blending music, dance, and mime portraying historical events or the everyday life of the people of the period; it appealed to the common people as opposed to the more refined Noh theater supported by the aristocrats Pleasure Quarter areas: o Yoshiwara in Edo o Shimabara in Kyoto o Shinmachi in Osaka o Maruyama in Nagasaki Ukiyo-e—depictions of the Floating World Key Ideas Originally the term ukiyo was used to describe the fleeting secular world in contrast to the spiritual world of Buddhism. During the Edo period (1615-1868), ukiyo came to mean that part of the secular world set aside for entertainment and amusement, such as the licensed pleasure quarters of the major cities. In the late 17th century, the suffix –e (which means painting) was added to the term to describe a genre of painting and prints that depicted the everyday life and activities of these various pleasure quarters. Popular subjects were the courtesans, Kabuki actors, and others who provided love, pleasure, and entertainment for men who could afford it. -

EL Comercio De LA Primavera
EL COMERCIO DE 105 LA PRIMavera: LA COYUNTURA DE LA SEGUNDA GUERRA MUNDIAL EN LA PROSTITUCIÓN JAPONESA1 Nathaly Varela Baltierra1 universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala colectivo de investigadores Histórico-regionales Resumen Es bien conocido que el conflicto béli- co denominado como la Segunda Guerra Mundial, provocó cambios sustanciales en la vida de la humanidad que llegaron a abarcar los aspectos más íntimos de las sociedades. Entre muchos otros, el caso de la prostitución en Japón fue uno de los más radicales. Mi objetivo general es analizar la trans- formación de la práctica y el concepto de prostitución en aquel país, como una pro- puesta para demostrar que las consecuen- cias de la guerra van más allá de las pérdi- das humanas o materiales, y debido a que es una parte de la historia poco estudiada. 1 El presente trabajo es un extracto de mi Tesis.

Intertextuality, Humour, and Sexual Education in Early-Modern Japan
Shunpon: Intertextuality, Humour, and Sexual Education in Early-modern Japan Maria Lucia Bugno Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Emmanuel College June 2018 Abstract Shunpon: Intertextuality, Humour, and Sexual Education in Early-modern Japan This dissertation explores the sexually explicit rewritings of earlier literature in early-modern shunpon production. The term shunpon is used today by scholars to refer to books containing shunga (images displaying explicit sexual content), which were produced in Japan throughout the Edo period (1600-1868). Despite the remarkable output of shunpon, until recently the textual part of this corpus has seldom been the object of academic study, which has focused mostly on pictures. By analysing the texts in shunpon, I examine the characteristics of these early-modern writings, their aims, readership, and connection with the whole literary panorama of the time. Besides the sexual and satirical uses that have been put forward so far, this study emphasises other aims for these works, namely humour and sexual education. In particular, the focus on shunpon rewritings of earlier literature reveals how our own perception of these works, considered canonical today, differs from how they were read at the time. The introduction gives an outline of the theoretical framework. Chapter One analyses the shunpon rewritings of the 17th-century Meijo nasake kurabe (Famous Women: Comparisons of Affection), a collection of stories which has so far been considered a minor work. Chapter Two takes up the 18th-century rewritings of Makura no sōshi (The Pillow Book), a work that is considered canonical today.
