The power of the senses influences my essays and poetry as well. In haiku, with its short three-line form, the key to success is to capture and share the sensual nature of life, both physical and philosophical. For me, the so-called “aha” moment is the main ingredient for making a meaningful haiku. People often comment that my photos and haiku create a feeling of nostalgia. An accomplished Japanese poet and friend living in Hokkaido, Noriko Nagaya, excitedly telephoned me one morning after reading my haiku book. Her insight was that my haiku visions were similar to the way I must see at the exact moment I take a photo.

Mack Horton Professor Daniel C. O’Neill Professor Anne-Lise François Summer 2018 © 2018 Matthew Stanhope Mewhinney All Rights Reserved Abstract The Lyric Forms of the Literati Mind: Yosa Buson, Ema Saikō, Masaoka Shiki and Natsume Sōseki by Matthew Stanhope Mewhinney Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Language University of California, Berkeley Professor Alan Tansman, Chair This dissertation examines the transformation of lyric thinking in Japanese literati (bunjin) culture from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. I examine four poet- painters associated with the Japanese literati tradition in the Edo (1603-1867) and Meiji (1867- 1912) periods: Yosa Buson (1716-83), Ema Saikō (1787-1861), Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) and Natsume Sōseki (1867-1916). Each artist fashions a lyric subjectivity constituted by the kinds of blending found in literati painting and poetry. I argue that each artist’s thoughts and feelings emerge in the tensions generated in the process of blending forms, genres, and the ideas (aesthetic, philosophical, social, cultural, and historical) that they carry with them.

  • Shiki and Modernism
    Anita Virgil JAPAN AND THE WEST: SHIKI AND MODERNISM Alone In the editorial department: Summer rain falling. Shiki 1 In the years between Issa’s death and Shiki’s birth, enormous change had wracked Japan politically, socially and culturally. At mid-19th century, after more than 200 years of isolation, Japan was torn by economic problems and beleaguered from without by foreigners seeking to open Japan to trade with the West. Her farmers and samurai were financially depleted, her merchants could not function without access to markets. Dissolute factions within the country jockeyed for dominance over the crumbling Tokugawa Shogunate to the extent that some Japanese called for restoration of the Emperor. The appearance of the Black Ships of Russia, England and America heightened the anxiety of an already troubled nation. Change was inevitable and necessary for the survival of Japan. With the arrival of Commodore Perry in Edo Bay in 1853, Japan was eventually forced into the modern world. It did not take long for the Japanese to recognize their defenselessness in the face of the military and technological superiority of the West. With dispatch, they sent emissaries abroad to obtain firsthand knowledge of their enemy, the “barbarians.” The result: the Japanese people were awash in a flood of ideas that conflicted with their ancient traditions. On September 17, 1867 in this time of ferment and cross-cultural exchange, Masaoka Tsunenori was born in Matusuyama on the island of Shikoku. (Later in his life, as was customary among Japanese poets, he adopted the name Shiki.) His father, Masaoka Hayata, was a samurai of lower rank who died of alcoholism.

  • Santoka's Shikoku
    Santōka’s Shikoku An introduction to and translation of the opening sections of the Shikoku Henro Diary of Japanese free-verse haiku poet and itinerant Buddhist priest Taneda Santōka (1882-1940) Ronald S. Green, Coastal Carolina University Of the many literary figures associated with Shikoku, Japan and the Buddhist pilgrimage to the 88 temples around the perimeter of that island, Taneda Santōka is the most visible to pilgrims and the one most associated with their sentiments. According to the newspaper Asahi Shinbun, each year 150,000 people embark on the Shikoku pilgrimage by bus, train, automobile, bicycles, or walking. Among these, nearly all the foreign visitors make the journey on foot, spending weeks or months on the pilgrimage. Those walking are likely to encounter the most poetry steles (kuhi) that display the works of Taneda Santōka (1882-1940) and commemorate his life and pilgrimage in Shikoku. This is because some of the kuhi are located halfway up steep stairway ascents to temples or at entrances to narrow mountain paths, places Santōka loved. This paper introduces English readers to Santōka’s deep connection with Shikoku. This will become increasingly important as the Shikoku pilgrimage moves closer to becoming a UNESCO World Heritage site and the prefectures eventually achieve that goal. Santōka was an itinerant Buddhist priest, remembered mostly for his gentle nature that comes through to readers of his free-verse haiku. Santōka is also known for his fondness of Japanese sake, which eventually contributed to his death in Shikoku at the age of 58. Santōka lived at a time when Masaoka Shiki was innovating haiku by untying it from some of the classical rules that young poets were finding to be a hindrance to their expressions.

  • 1 Asia's Turn to Geopolitics: China and Japan in Central And
    Asia’s Turn to Geopolitics: China and Japan in Central and Southeast Asia Rachel Vandenbrink MALD, The Fletcher School, Tufts University Chinese President Xi Jinping toured four countries in Central Asia in September 2013, stopping at Nazarbayev University in Astana, Kazakhstan for a seminal speech urging regional states to join hands with China and “build a beautiful future together.”1 This was the speech in which Xi first unveiled his vision for the revival of ancient Silk Road routes in Asia. In the speech Xi proposed transforming Central Asia into an overland trade and infrastructure corridor linking China with markets in Europe, and in a separate speech a month later added a maritime component running through Southeast Asia. Together the two came to be known as the “One Belt One Road” (OBOR) initiative, forming the blueprint of a grand strategy to extend China’s influence across Asia. Two years after Xi’s trip, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made a similar tour in October 2015, visiting all five Central Asian states plus Mongolia. He, too, stopped for a speech at Nazarbayev University, promising “Japan will dramatically strengthen its relationship with the nations of Central Asia.”2 Abe’s visit to the region, which so closely paralleled Xi’s, was a clear message that Japan would not be left in the dust on China’s One Belt One Road. The two key regions of the OBOR initiative, Central Asia and Southeast Asia, are spaces where China and Japan compete for leadership of the continent. Both areas are 1 Xi Jinping, “Hongyang renmin youyi, gongchuang meihao weilai” [Promote People-to-People Friendship and Create a Better Future], speech given at Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan, September 7, 2013, http://politics.people.com.cn/n/2013/0908/c1024-22845281.html.

  • Extending the Notion of Home Through the Language of Poetry
    ASIATIC, VOLUME 4, NUMBER 1, JUNE 2010 Extending the Notion of Home Through the Language of Poetry David Farrah1 Kobe City University of Foreign Studies, Japan Abstract This essay will offer a personalised, critical consideration of how the notion of “home”, while remaining central to my vision as a poet, has evolved from the provincial to the international to the universal through the medium of landscape. It will accordingly ask the following question: how do we find a way to express ourselves through the features of a landscape we might not initially consider to be “home”, in the language of poetry? In answer to that question, the Japanese concept of “shakkei” or “borrowed landscape” will be explored as it relates to both literary history and the more contemporary concern for the expression and cultivation of the individual self. In particular, the technique of “ikedori”, or the “capturing alive” of a landscape will be examined. And finally, this essay will suggest that “shakkei” and poetry are much more than just metaphors for each other. Rather, they are organically and artistically linked mediums through which creative wonder is formalised, personalised and expressed. Keywords Landscape, gardening, poetry, shakkei, Japanese, expatriate, home But our native country is less an expanse of territory than a substance; it’s a rock or a soil or an aridity or a water or a light. It’s the place where our dreams materialize; it’s through that place that our dreams take on their proper form…. Dreaming beside the river, I gave my imagination to the water….
