    央州日報 Oshu Nippo New Year's Special 1918 (P. 1) Greeting the New Year in a Country at War Silently passing, time presses forward over the turbulent weir of 1917, to enter the more quiet pool that is 1918. Here the stream emanates, and the big river flows again to the west, uncontrolled by valleys. If you follow that flow, you may encounter a rapid current that seems to crush the rocks. You may pass a place like a fairy tale where the river flows quietly and the flowers are laughing on both banks. You may come to a place where white clouds rise up from below your feet to form almost like a curtain hanging in front of you. Those who progress with the flow continue observing the prospects of the shores at every moment while avoiding danger, not completely satisfied with the tranquil flow of the spring, and willfully overcoming the obstacles that appear in front. This is similar to the way human beings live. There are daily lives, there are fights, and there is progress. Because human beings who live have hope for tomorrow, records of our progress become increasingly prominent year by year. The new phase of the world is pushed forward by two billion human beings who live in hope. Personal success is for the people who worked the best for their great hope. Let’s hope big. Do not give up. Looking back on past events, our hopes seem to have always been rather too small. As of the beginning of last year, who knew that Russia would stand in the path of democracy? Who would have thought that the way to friendly Japan-US relations could be found so quickly? With hope and effort, you can always have a path to move forward.

The authors discuss the background and characteristics of the popular Japanese children’s story, Momotaro, the storytelling art, kamishibai, and the card game, karuta, and consider their value as English teaching tools. They then describe how classes of public and private elementary school students were introduced to Momotaro in simplified English using kamishibai and karuta. Finally, based on their observations of the children during the lessons, the children’s responses to a survey, and the comments of parents who had watched a lesson, they analyze the effectiveness of this approach and consider the significance for Japanese children of sharing together the culture and customs of Japan using English.

  • Momotarō, Or the Peach Boy: Japan’S Best-Loved Folktale As National Allegory
    Momotarō, or the Peach Boy: Japan’s Best-Loved Folktale as National Allegory by David A. Henry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Asian Languages and Cultures) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Professor Ken K. Ito, Chair Professor Mark H. Nornes Professor Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen Associate Professor Leslie B. Pincus © David A. Henry 2009 DEDICATION To Chisato, for walking together on the journey. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The University of Michigan was a rich and exciting environment for exploring Japanese literature. I am grateful for a lively cohort to have shared the journey with including Alex Bates, Hoyt Long, Jan Leuchtenberger, Jeremy Robinson, Kristina Vassil, and Bob Rama. Graduate students ahead of and behind me in the program, including Timothy Van Compernolle, David Rosenfeld, Atsuko Ueda, Mimi Plauché, and Jason Herlands, have been generous with both helpful advice and criticism. Michigan’s Asia Library has been an unparalleled resource and I have appreciated the guidance of librarian Kenji Niki’s guidance through its deep stacks. Professor Ken K. Ito’s seminars on modern Japanese literature pushed me intellectually, opened me to the joys of Japanese fiction, and the ethical responsibilities of the critic. Most of whatever intellectual growth I was able to achieve during my graduate study was as a direct result of preparing for and participating in his rigorous class sessions. Professor Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen consistently shared with us the heart of a poet and the probing mind of an intellectual of the first order. Professor Leslie Pincus’ seminars in Japanese history were exciting as models of scholarly dialogue.
