FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2013 ABSTRACT FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Kimberly M. Blaeser My dissertation is a creative translation from Japanese into English of the poetry of Yosa Buson, an 18th century (1716 – 1783) poet. Buson is considered to be one of the most important of the Edo Era poets and is still influential in modern Japanese literature. By taking account of Japanese culture, identity and aesthetics the dissertation project bridges the gap between American and Japanese poetics, while at the same time revealing the complexity of thought in Buson's poetry and bringing the target audience closer to the text of a powerful and mov- ing writer.

Morley for the degree of Master ofArts in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies to be taken June 2009 Title: THE GODDESSES' SHRINE FAMILY: THE MUNAKATA THROUGH THE KAMAKURA ERA This thesis presents an historical study ofthe Kyushu shrine family known as the Munakata, beginning in the fourth century and ending with the onset ofJapan's medieval age in the fourteenth century. The tutelary deities ofthe Munakata Shrine are held to be the progeny ofthe Sun Goddess, the most powerful deity in the Shinto pantheon; this fact speaks to the long-standing historical relationship the Munakata enjoyed with Japan's ruling elites. Traditional tropes ofJapanese history have generally cast Kyushu as the periphery ofJapanese civilization, but in light ofrecent scholarship, this view has become untenable. Drawing upon extensive primary source material, this thesis will provide a detailed narrative ofMunakata family history while also building upon current trends in Japanese historiography that locate Kyushu within a broader East Asian cultural matrix and reveal it to be a central locus of cultural production on the Japanese archipelago.

  • The Construction of the Nagaoka Palace and Capital
    The construction of the Nagaoka Palace and Capital – Mokkan 木簡 as a Historical Source – Ellen Van Goethem (Ghent / Kyôto) Introduction The official and non-official historical records that relate the events of the late 8th century refer only indirectly to the construction of the Nagaoka Palace and Capital, and contain no more than fragmentary information about the supplies and personnel needed. Because of this, it was assumed that construction on the Nagaoka Capital grinds to a halt following the murder of Fujiwara Tanetsugu and the death of deposed Crown Princess Sawara in 785, ultimately resulting in the impossibility of finishing the capital and thus leading to the abandonment of the city. In this article, inscribed wooden tablets (mokkan) that were unearthed during decades of excavations on the territory of this former Japanese capital are used to supplement entries from the historical records in order to create a more detailed image of palace and capital construction. The first phase of construction1 In 784, Emperor Kanmu announces his intention to abandon the Nara Capital and have a new capital constructed.2 For that purpose, he dispatches a group of eight government officials to Nagaoka Village in Yamashiro Province for the purpose of inspecting the site's suitability for establishing a ritsuryô capital [SN Enryaku 3/5/16]. Merely one month later, eighteen Officials for the Construc- tion of the Nagaoka Palace (zô-Nagaokagû-shi) are appointed [SN Enryaku 3/6/10].3 1 The idea of two phases in the construction of the Nagaoka Capital and Palace was first launched by mokkan-specialist Shimizu Miki.

Sumpter 2016 iii THE SOCIO-POLITICAL FUNCTIONS OF JAPANESE “VENGEFUL SPIRIT” HANDSCROLLS, 1150-1230 Sara Lorraine Sumpter, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 The second half of the twelfth century witnessed a curious boom at the Heian Court in Japan— the production of illustrated handscrolls whose narratives centered on a specific type of historical figure. Within a span of fifty years or less, three such handscroll sets were produced: the Kibi Daijin nittō emaki, the Ban Dainagon emaki, and the Kitano Tenjin engi emaki. In each story, the protagonist is an aristocrat who had lived three-to-four-hundred years previous to the production of the handscroll set. Each of the men in question had died in exile, and each was—at one point or another—believed to have become a vengeful spirit.

    RESPONSE TO HELEN HARDACRE’S SHINTO: A HISTORY Prepared for Society for Study of Japanese Religions Meeting in Conjunction with Association for Asian Studies Annual Conference, Toronto, 3/17/2017 Ross Bender When the advance publicity for the book came out, I read Richard Bowring’s effusive blurb with mixed emotions. Dr. Bowring wrote: “Professor Hardacre manages to lead us carefully and judiciously on a long journey through what can often be recalcitrant, complex material. The notoriously difficult question ‘What is Shinto?’ has finally been answered.” On the one hand I was tremendously relieved that this notoriously difficult question had finally been answered; on the other hand I was somewhat disappointed that the question had finally been answered, and that this might mean that no more remained to be said about this fascinating phenomenon. But when I bought the book and began to read it, I discovered that Dr. Hardacre was more modest in her assessment; she writes “… I make no grand claims for my approach, anticipating that future researchers will supersede it with more precise analytic tools.” As John Breen and Mark Teeuwen reminded us in their 2010 New History of Shinto, there are “many Shintos, and many histories.” Certainly there is so much more concerning this multi-faceted and multi-splendored religion, if we may call it a religion, that awaits to be discovered and analyzed. Dr. Hardacre from the outset presents her claims and her thesis forcefully and lucidly. Thus, and I quote the very first sentence, “From earliest times, the Japanese people have worshipped Kami.” This forthright statement might appear to some as fighting words, since the tendency in recent discourse has been to problematize the question of origins, and particularly to challenge the notion of an indigenous reverence for the Kami.

  • Learning with Waka Poetry: Transmission and Production Of
    Learning with Waka Poetry: Transmission and Production of Social Knowledge and Cultural Memory in Premodern Japan Ariel G. Stilerman Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ariel G. Stilerman All rights reserved ABSTRACT Learning with Waka Poetry: Transmission and Production of Knowledge and Cultural Memory in Premodern Japan Ariel G. Stilerman This dissertation argues that throughout premodern Japan, classical Japanese poetry (waka) served as a vehicle for the transmission of social knowledge, cultural memory, and specialized information. Waka was originally indispensable to private and public social interactions among aristocrats, but it came to play a diversity of functions for warriors, monks, farmers, merchants, and other social groups at each and every level of premodern society and over many centuries, particularly from the late Heian period (785- 1185) through the Edo period (1600-1868). To trace the changes in the social functions of waka, this dissertation explores several moments in the history of waka: the development of a pedagogy for waka in the poetic treatises of the Heian period; the reception of these works in anecdotal collections of the Kamakura period (1192-1333), particularly those geared towards warriors; the use of humorous waka (kyôka), in particular those with satiric and parodic intent, in Muromachi-period (1333-1467) narratives for commoners; and the use of waka as pedagogical instruments
