  • Kisaburo-, Kuniyoshi and the “Living Doll”
    100 Kisaburo-, Kuniyoshi and the “Living Doll” Kinoshita Naoyuki or many years now, I have been researching different aspects of nineteenth-century Japanese culture, making a conscious decision Fnot to distinguish between “fine art” and “popular culture.” I clearly remember the occasion some twenty years ago that prompted me to adopt this approach. It was my first encounter with the termiki-ningyo - (“liv- ing dolls”), as coined in Japanese. I had absolutely no idea what the phrase meant, nor even how to pronounce the Chinese characters. The majority of modern Japanese, unfamiliar with the term, end up pronouncing it nama- ningyo-. The impulse to pronounce the first character asnama derives from its meaning of something “vivid” or “fresh” (namanamashii). In the culinary idiom, the adjective brings to mind not grilled or boiled fish, but raw fish (sashimi) at the instant the dish is set down, or even the moments before- hand, as one’s mouth begins to water watching the fish being prepared. Now I have a little better understanding of what “living dolls” means. In the city of Edo (now Tokyo), a popular form of street entertainment was the re-creation of themes from legends or history with life-size, lifelike < Fig. 2. Matsumoto Kisaburo-.

    Cultural Philanthropy David Scott Mitchell and the Mitchell Library Submitted by Eileen Chanin B.A., M.Ed. (Hons) This thesis is submitted to the School of Art History and Art Education at the University of New South Wales in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2012 University of New South Wales New South Wales Australia PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Chanin First name: Eileen Other name/s: Anne Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Art History and Education Faculty: College of Fine Arts Title: Cultural Philanthropy, David Scott Mitchell and the Mitchell Library Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE The bequest from David Scott Mitchell made possible the foundation of Sydney’s Mitchell Library. Earlier accounts have called into question Mitchell’s philanthropic impulse. Opinion ranges from seeing Mitchell as a principal turn-of-the-century benefactor to questioning that he even be considered a philanthropist. Accounts of David Scott Mitchell have so far failed to fully explain the historic and cultural context for his gift. This study investigates Mitchell’s life and times and the context of the culture of philanthropy which so influenced his gift. Misunderstanding of Mitchell stemmed from scant documentation and historical biases, such that he is both legendary and has been misread. Case study format is used to review his history and to recalibrate the truth about him, his motivation and milieu. Evidence from his collection, matched with other documentation, reveals and surveys the philanthropic legacy that Mitchell inherited from his forebears, the understandings and practices of philanthropy in his circle, and the network of ideas concerning benefaction that he knew.
