  • Guts and Tears Kinpira Jōruri and Its Textual Transformations
    Guts and Tears Kinpira Jōruri and Its Textual Transformations Janice Shizue Kanemitsu In seventeenth-century Japan, dramatic narratives were being performed under drastically new circumstances. Instead of itinerant performers giving performances at religious venues in accordance with a ritual calendar, professionals staged plays at commercial, secular, and physically fixed venues. Theaters contracted artists to perform monthly programs (that might run shorter or longer than a month, depending on a given program’s popularity and other factors) and operated on revenues earned by charging theatergoers admission fees. A theater’s survival thus hinged on staging hit plays that would draw audiences. And if a particular cast of characters was found to please crowds, producing plays that placed the same characters in a variety of situations was one means of ensuring a full house. Kinpira jōruri 金平浄瑠璃 enjoyed tremendous though short-lived popularity as a form of puppet theater during the mid-1600s. Though its storylines lack the nuanced sophistication of later theatrical narra- tives, Kinpira jōruri offers a vivid illustration of how theater interacted with publishing in Japan during the early Tokugawa 徳川 period. This essay begins with an overview of Kinpira jōruri’s historical background, and then discusses the textualization of puppet theater plays. Although Kinpira jōruri plays were first composed as highly masculinized period pieces revolving around political scandals, they gradually transformed to incorporate more sentimentalism and female protagonists. The final part of this chapter will therefore consider the fundamental characteristics of Kinpira jōruri as a whole, and explore the ways in which the circulation of Kinpira jōruri plays—as printed texts— encouraged a transregional hybridization of this theatrical genre.

  • Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.18 No.2, Aug. 2013) 31 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1 Nakano Hitoshi* Foreword The Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 16th Century is also called the Chosŏn (Joseon) Campaign or the Bunroku Keicho Offensive in Japan or the Imjin (Jp., Jinshin) War. In Japan, studies of the event have been actively conducted since the Edo period. There is a large amount of aca- demic research also in the early modern period. A historic review of the Bunroku Keicho Offensive that I wrote in regard of Japan in the early modern period appeared in the Report of the Second Round of the Korea- Japan Commission for the Joint Study of History, Subcommittee-2 (2010). Here, I intend to focus on recent research trends in Japan. Therefore, please refer to that previous article for discussions carried on in the period preceding Shōwa. In the main text, I intend to outline the research trends up to the 1970s, which relates to what I am asked to do, and then review the state of research in the 1980s and thereafter. Part of this will overlap with the contents of the previous article. I will deal with the task in units of a decade, and include explanation where necessary. * Kyushu University Faculty of Social and Cultural Studies 32 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) Research Trend up to the 1970s In the post-World War II period, a new view was adopted concerning the flow of the post-war study of history, inheriting the demonstrative research of the pre-war period.

  • Kikigaki 5 ( 482 to 632 ) Sayings and Deeds of Lords Mitsushige and Tsunashige
    Kikigaki 5 ( 482 to 632 ) Sayings and deeds of Lords Mitsushige and Tsunashige 482) Lord Mitsushige inherits his household in February, 1657 at the age of 26. On February 19, Okabe Naizen and Tamba-no-kami summoned Nabeshima Izumi- no-kami Naotomo to Edo Castle, and informed that Lord Katsushige was admitted to retire and that Mitsushige, his grandson, was allowed to succeed to the household of Saga Clan. On March 1 Prince Mitsushige paid a visit to the castle to express his gratitude to the Shogunate. He donated a sword inscribed with the name of Bungo Yukihira, 300 leaves of silver, 100 hundred sheets of fine silk, while Lord Katsushige offered a sword made by Sadamune and a scroll of picture with a peony design. Nabeshima Mondo, Nabeshima Nui-no-suke, and Arita Kageyu, administrative retainers, also donated ex- penses to buy horses. On January 18 a big fire broke out in Edo, burning our clan’s Sakurada residence. Prince Mitsushige moved to the Aoyama residence, then again to the Azabu residence on May 4. On May 19 a gale blew and burnt Edo Castle and many more houses, though the secondary enclosure of the castle escaped the fire. Spreading to nearly 90 km, it claimed the lives of more than 37,000 people. ＊ Okabe Naizen and Tamba-no-kami were high ranking officials for the Shogunate. ＊ Nabeshima Izumi-no-kami was the lord of the Kashima branch clan. 483) The era name changes from Meireki to Manji in May 1658. The lord is aged 27. Lord Mitsushige was admitted by the Shogunate to return to Saga in February, and left Edo on the last day, arriving in Saga on April 5.

  • Chronology of Religion in Japan
    Chronology of Religion in Japan Explanatory Notes Caveats, and Acknowledgements ca. (circa, “about”) is placed before dates that may be inexact or that are based on scholarly conjecture. ? (“questionable”) is placed after dates, proper names, and events that might not have existed, that are subject to dispute, or that supposedly occurred prior to 680 but for which the only evidence is later Japanese texts, such as Kojiki 古事記 (712), Nihon shoki 日本書紀 (720), Gangōji engi 元興寺縁起 (747), Fusō ryakki 扶桑略記 (ca. 1180), etcetera. Asterisks identify events primarily associated with places beyond the Japanese archipelago, such as the Asian mainland or China (*), with the Korean peninsula (**), or elsewhere (***). This chronology originated as private notes compiled as an aid for my own memory. It is biased, therefore, toward subjects of interest to me. It largely reproduces without modification or critical analysis the format and structure of conventional chronologies produced in Japan. It is a chronology of events, not of processes. Nonetheless, many of the events listed herein might be more accurately regarded as being representative of complex processes that actually spanned many years or decades. Moreover, many other events (usually those with question marks, such as the instatement of Jinmu in 660 BCE) should not be accepted as historical facts, but regarded as historically influential fictions that tell us more about the concerns of the later chroniclers who wrote of them than about the times when they supposedly occurred. Be forewarned: it is not the purpose of this chronology to determine which of these events might be more or less plausible. Entries for these events frequently use the same anachronistic terminology (e.g., tennō 天皇 for “sovereign”) as found in the later texts cited therein.

  • Japan and Its East Asian Neighbors: Japan’S Perception of China and Korea and the Making of Foreign Policy from the Seventeenth to the Nineteenth Century
    JAPAN AND ITS EAST ASIAN NEIGHBORS: JAPAN’S PERCEPTION OF CHINA AND KOREA AND THE MAKING OF FOREIGN POLICY FROM THE SEVENTEENTH TO THE NINETEENTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Norihito Mizuno, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James R. Bartholomew, Adviser Professor Philip C. Brown Adviser Professor Peter L. Hahn Graduate Program in History Copyright by Norihito Mizuno 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of Japanese perceptions of its East Asian neighbors – China and Korea – and the making of foreign policy from the early seventeenth century to the late nineteenth century. Previous studies have overwhelmingly argued that after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Japan started to modernize itself by learning from the West and changed its attitudes toward those neighboring countries. It supposedly abandoned its traditional friendship and reverence toward its neighbors and adopted aggressive and contemptuous attitudes. I have no intention of arguing here that the perspective of change and discontinuity in Japan’s attitudes toward its neighbors has no validity at all; Japan did adopt Western-style diplomacy toward its neighbors, paralleling the abandonment of traditional culture which had owed much to other East Asian civilizations since antiquity. In this dissertation, through examination primarily of official and private documents, I maintain that change and discontinuity cannot fully explain the Japanese policy toward its East Asian neighbors from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. The Japanese perceptions and attitudes toward China and ii Korea had some aspects of continuity.

    PROGENITOR OR MERE PREDECESSOR: A STUDY OF UKIYO-E’S PLACE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN MANGA THROUGH THE WORKS OF RUMIKO TAKAHASHI A THESIS IN Art History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by Julia Fields Jackson B.A., Pomona College, 2006 Kansas City, Missouri 2014 © 2014 JULIA FIELDS JACKSON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PROGENITOR OR MERE PREDECESSOR: A STUDY OF UKIYO-E’S PLACE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN MANGA THROUGH THE WORKS OF RUMIKO TAKAHASHI Julia Fields Jackson, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2014 ABSTRACT In their effors to understand the history of manga , or Japanese comics, scholars have struggled determining the timeline of this art form. While some historians begin their narrative as far back as the twelfth century with examples of art that might be classified as “pre-manga ,” some academics choose to cite the start point manga ’s timeline in the nineteenth century with the first usage of the term “ manga .” Others researchers are even more conservative, beginning their scope of manga ’s history with the techniques developed during the mid-twentieth century which yield artwork recognizable to today’s aesthetics. The study of manga is still in an embryonic state, and the scope of this genre of art is vast; these two factors create a challenge in establishing a timeline for manga ’s history. Although it would be convenient to consider the history of Japanese illustrative art as a timeline that leads directly to modern manga , the myriad of genres and styles complicate the researcher’s ability to make claims about the pertinence of any specific point on that timeline to the development of manga as it is known today.

  • BITA-SEN鐚銭 > Miserable Coin (Special Word in the Japanese
    Nagasaki Bōeki-sen 長崎 貿易銭 > Nagasaki Trade coins Mint: 中島 長崎 肥前 Nakajima Nagasaki/Hizen Compiled by Heinz Gratzer The town Nagasaki named after the Daimyō Nagasaki Kotaro was, since Genki 元亀 2 (1571) the most important port for trade with Asian countries ( mainly China, Vietnam and Thailand). In Tenshō 15 (1587) due the big profit of trading and also to control the foreign influence, the Bakufu (government) took over the administration. From Keichō 4 (1600) ships of the Dutch East Indian Company arrived in Japan. Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu permitted them to open a trading post on the small isle Hirado 平戸, about 80 km north of Nagasaki. Also traders from Asian areas as well as Spaniards and the British East Indian Company gained permission to hold trading posts there. But in Kanei 15 (1638), when the foreigners, particularly the Spaniards started to get involved with the internal affairs of Japan, all foreigners were then expelled, the only exceptions were the Chinese and the Dutch traders, the latter were permitted to land with one ship every year at Hirado. They received this special status because they had helped the Bakufu with their ships canons, enabling them to break down a revolt in Shimabara 島原 Hizen. In Kanei 18 (1641) the Dutch were required to move onto the small man-made isle of Dejima 出島 in the port of Nagasaki, they were not permitted without a permit of the Bakufu to enter onshore. Once a year they had to send a delegation with gifts for the Shogun to Edo escorted by Japanese guards.

  • China in Tokugawa Foreign Relations: the Tokugawa Bakufu’S Perception of and Attitudes Toward Ming-Qing China
    China in Tokugawa Foreign Relations: The Tokugawa Bakufu’s Perception of and Attitudes toward Ming-Qing China Mizuno Norihito 水野智仁 Ohio State University Throughout the Tokugawa era, there were no government-to-government relations between Japan and China. It was not until the Meiji government and the Qing dynasty signed a treaty in 1871 that such a relationship was established between the two countries. The absence of diplomatic relations does not, however, mean that there was no communication between the two countries in the Tokugawa era. There were both direct and indirect unofficial routes of contact between them. Japanese, with few exceptions such as Tsushima 対馬 retainers’ visits to Korea, were not allowed to go overseas from the mid-1630s until the late 1850s under the bakufu policy often called sakoku 鎖国 or kaikin 海禁. Chinese merchants, on the other hand, were permitted to visit Nagasaki, a trade port located in northern Kyushu. For the Japanese, this was the only way to contact China directly. There was also indirect contact with China. Satsuma, a large domain located in southern Kyushu, maintained indirect trade access to China via its tributary state, the Kingdom of Ryukyu, which had been under virtual Japanese dominance since Satsuma’s conquest in 1609. Tokugawa diplomatic relations with Korea also gave the Japanese a chance to contact China through irregular embassies from neighboring countries. Nor did the absence of diplomatic relations mean that the bakufu had no interest in associating with China, at least in its early years. Tokugawa Ieyasu 徳川家康, founder of the warrior regime, in fact, undertook a rapprochement with Ming China.
