  • Seduction: Japan's Floating World Transports Viewers to the Popular and Enticing Entertainment Districts Established in Edo (Present- Day Tokyo) in the Mid-1600S
    PRESS CONTACTS: Tim Hallman Annie Tsang 415.581.3711 415.581.3560 [email protected] [email protected] SEDUCTION: JAPAN’S FLOATING WORLD Escape to Japan’s floating world through a selection of rare paintings, woodblock prints and kimonos at San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2015—Seduction: Japan's Floating World transports viewers to the popular and enticing entertainment districts established in Edo (present- day Tokyo) in the mid-1600s. Through more than 50 artworks from the acclaimed John C. Weber Collection, visitors can encounter the alluring realm known as the “floating world,” notably its famed pleasure quarter, the Yoshiwara. Masterpieces of painting, luxurious Japanese robes, woodblock-printed guides and decorative arts tell the story of how the art made to represent Edo’s seductive courtesans, flashy Kabuki actors and extravagant customs gratified fantasies and fueled desires. At a time when a strict social hierarchy regulated most aspects of the samurai and townsmen’s lives, the floating world provided a temporary escape. The term “floating world,” or ukiyo, originated from a common Buddhist phrase referring to the suffering of the physical world, which was inverted to signify a realm of boundless indulgence. Both a state of mind and a set of locales, the floating world refers to the diversions available in the brothel districts and Kabuki theaters of Edo, a city whose population had reached a million by the beginning of the 18th century. The floating world’s rise to prominence gave birth to an outpouring of new artistic production, in the form of paintings and woodblock prints that advertised celebrities and spread knowledge of the city’s famous theaters and brothels.

  • The Case of the Maria Luz and the Question of Emancipation in Nineteenth Century Japan Daniel Botsman
    Freedom without slavery? The Case of the Maria Luz and the Question of Emancipation in Nineteenth Century Japan Daniel Botsman (For presentation at the conference on Trans-Pacific Relations, Princeton University, September 2006. PLEASE DO NOT CITE OR CIRCULATE WITHOUT PERMISSION) On New Year’s Day 1863, when Abraham Lincoln issued his famous Emancipation Proclamation granting freedom to four million slaves in the rebel states of America’s Confederate South, the vile institution that had stood at the heart of the Atlantic trading system for the better part of two centuries at last entered the final phase of its history.1 Thousands of pages have been devoted to the task of explaining the complex processes and chains of events that led to the demise of Atlantic slavery, but one of the key starting points historians often refer to in their accounts of the “abolition” movement is a court case that took place in London in 1772.2 The case centered on a single African slave, named James Somerset, who had managed to escape from his Virginian master after being brought to England en route to the slave markets of Jamaica. Although he was soon recaptured Somerset was given the opportunity to sue for his freedom in the English courts and was eventually restored to his rights on the grounds that, “England was too pure an air for slaves to breathe in.” In addition to Somerset himself, the court’s decision simultaneously gave freedom to the fifteen thousand other Africans who were 1 For a recent account of the Proclamation and its impact, see Allen C.

Osobashti were secretaries who con- veyed messages between the shogun and counselors, a position of a modest income, which in Tanuma’s case carried an annual salary of 150 koku. By 1767, Tanuma was receiving approximately 20,000 koku as the personal secretary to the tenth shogun, Ieharu. Two years later, with a salary of 57,000 koku, Tanuma was a member of the powerful shogunate council. Although examples of favoritism and extravagant promotion had occurred under the previous shoguns Tsunayoshi and Ienobu, there was no precedent for the degree of actual power Tanuma Okitsugu had assumed. He won his position through a combination of superior intelligence, political skill, and personal charm. In addition, he made unscrupulous use of bribery to coun- selors in key positions and ladies of the shogun’s harem.1 In 1783, after his son Okitomo’s name was added to the shogun’s select list of counselors, father and son virtually ruled Japan.

  • 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.
