It appears, dramatically – an artist’s practice is the therefore, that the quintessential component – relationship of Jackson Pollock with a stick: the trigger – that would jettison these existing qualities into a new and very dramatic Sometimes I use a brush but often prefer methodology was the taking up of the stick as using a stick. Sometimes I pour the paint the conveyor of viscous paint, via the element straight out of the can. I like to use a of air and marked by Pollock’s personal dripping fluid paint.

Two years later, with a salary of 57,000 koku, Tanuma was a member of the powerful shogunate council.

  • Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre
    Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre Thomas Gaubatz Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Thomas Gaubatz All rights reserved ABSTRACT Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre Thomas Gaubatz This dissertation examines the ways in which the narrative fiction of early modern (1600- 1868) Japan constructed urban identity and explored its possibilities. I orient my study around the social category of chōnin (“townsman” or “urban commoner”)—one of the central categories of the early modern system of administration by status group (mibun)—but my concerns are equally with the diversity that this term often tends to obscure: tensions and stratifications within the category of chōnin itself, career trajectories that straddle its boundaries, performative forms of urban culture that circulate between commoner and warrior society, and the possibility (and occasional necessity) of movement between chōnin society and the urban poor. Examining a range of genres from the late 17th to early 19th century, I argue that popular fiction responded to ambiguities, contradictions, and tensions within urban society, acting as a discursive space where the boundaries of chōnin identity could be playfully probed, challenged, and reconfigured, and new or alternative social roles could be articulated. The emergence of the chōnin is one of the central themes in the sociocultural history of early modern Japan, and modern scholars have frequently characterized the literature this period as “the literature of the chōnin.” But such approaches, which are largely determined by Western models of sociocultural history, fail to apprehend the local specificity and complexity of status group as a form of social organization: the chōnin, standing in for the Western bourgeoisie, become a unified and monolithic social body defined primarily in terms of politicized opposition to the ruling warrior class.

Like all syllabi, no matter how frequently I re-do it, this one seems never to reflect my current thinking about the subject. I find that as my approach moves farther from the way I was trained, which consisted mainly of stylistic analysis and aesthetic concerns, I have begun to wonder whether I am using art to illustrate culture or culture to illuminate art. Perhaps the distinction is no longer important. Next time I do the class I will approach the material more thematically ("The Construction of Gender," "The City," "Travel," etc.); I will also do more with the so-called minor or decorative arts, including robes, arms, armor, and ceramics. Text used was Noma Seirok~, Arts of Japan, vol. 2, Late Medieval to Modem (Tokyo, New York, and San Francisco: Kodansh;l International Ltd., 1980), chosen primarily for its reproductions.

In the translation of his essay, “A Reflection on Poetic Spirit,”1 that follows this article, I contribute to the understanding of his thought by presenting for the first time in English one of his shorter but important later works. Here is a brief introduction to his life and thought. Kuki’s fame is largely based on several factors from his biography. Kuki was born right after a scandal in the highest echelons of the Meiji cultural elite. The affair between his mother Hatsu (a former geisha who had married the baron and diplomat Kuki Ryūichi) and Okakura Tenshin (one of the early protagonists of modern Japanese aesthetics) occurred when Okakura was charged to accompany a pregnant Hatsu from the United States to Japan. This episode casts a particular light on Kuki’s intellectual biography. He received the level of education expected from his aristocratic background, but also internalized the ideal of poetic freedom and anti-conformism represented by his second father figure, Okakura.

  • Kabuki Plays on Page—And Comicbook Pictures on Stage—In Edo-Period Japan
    Kabuki Plays on Page—and Comicbook Pictures on Stage—in Edo-Period Japan Adam L. Kern Students of kabuki are inevitably faced with the conundrum of how best to handle the vast corpus of woodblock-printed materials devoted to the early-modern theater. While one might begin with the rare playscript (when available), what such scripts inevitably present is an idealized performance. By contrast, woodblock-printed theatrical texts—particularly illustrated ones—would seem to provide a better collective glimpse, however kaleidoscopically mediated, of actual performances: an ephemeral world that now exists as much in the imagination, or in shards of performance traditions, as it does in the texts themselves. Be they one-off pictures or lengthy illustrated booklets, such theatri- cal texts may not provide anything approaching verisimilitude (let alone aim for it). Yet aside from this obvious complication, another issue resides in the assumption that kabuki, as the center of popular culture, is what is being reflected. To be sure, kabuki represents a major popular cultural center, and an extremely vital one at that. Yet to claim that only one such center existed during Japan’s Edo period (1600-1868), when cultural hybridity was the rule rather than the exception, and the vari- ous literary, poetical, pictorial, and performative arts routinely crossed generic lines to a vertiginous degree, is to risk over-determination. This obtains particularly to that grand hall of mirrors that was the floating world of popular culture, where not only kabuki theaters, but also pleasure quarters, and the often disregarded commercial street spectacle (misemono 見世物), are all reflected in each other.
