    IX. évf. 2017/4. Zsófia Vasadi The Japanese Setting in the 2006 Film Adaptation of As You Like It: Kenneth Branagh’s Japanese (G)Arden Introduction In this paper I propose to consider the 2006 film version of Shakespeare’sAs You Like It,1 directed by Kenneth Branagh, with special emphasis on the significance of the film’s Japanese setting. Branagh mixes elements of two entirely separate cul- tures, but for what reason? One of the main points of my research will be to try to come up with evidence that the Japanese setting adds meaningfully to the inter- pretation of the well-known play. An appreciation of the function of traditional Japanese motifs, the use of sets that depict particular periods of time and the choice of actors in the film are all aspects that should be considered in order to recognise how the Japanese setting throws new light on Shakespeare’s comedy. In my research I relied on several interviews with the director himself, in ad- dition to some critical reviews that were published around the time of the film’s release. I will also consider those scenes of the original play which seem to have special relevance in the adaptation. Presuming that the selection of some of the lines is in connection with Branagh’s choice of setting, we will see how the Japanese setting gives new meaning to them. Even though Branagh stated that the setting of the film is nineteenth-century Japan, it resembles more a stereotypical Asian country with mixed elements from several cultures rather than a specific place.2 For some reason, the characters prac- tice the Chinese art of tai chi,3 and we can recognise some more or less hidden In- dian elements as well.4 But why does the setting matter at all? One could argue – as have those critics who wrote negative reviews of the film – that the whole point of Branagh’s choice of setting is to prove that the Bard’s tale could be placed any- where, and it would not alter its meaning at all.
  • Tabletop Rock Garden

    Tabletop Rock Garden

    LEARN FROM ROCK GARDEN HOME In Japan, gardening is seen as an art form used to balance and highlight the natural landscape. There are two major types of Japanese gardens: water gardens and rock gardens. Water gardens typically feature a waterfall or pond surrounded by flowers, grasses, and trees to create a lush and organic environment. Rock gardens involve— you guessed it—rocks! Long associated with Buddhist traditions, rock gardens provide a calming space often used to practice meditation. One of the most impressive features of rock gardens is their carefully raked and arranged patterns of sand or gravel. These wavy and undulating patterns mimic the movements of water. Surrounding, and sometimes inside, these raked patterns are larger rocks arranged in odd-number groupings. All these larger rocks also represent natural forms like islands, mountains, waterfalls, or trees. JAPANESE ROCK GARDEN DESIGN TECHNIQUES STANDARDS: Today, Japanese garden designers use some of the following VA.4.H.1.3 techniques in their rock garden design: VA.68.S.2.1 • Rocks are the backbone of rock garden composition • Triangular rocks and rock groupings are best, as the form of a triangle can represent the earth, man, and the divine • Odd-numbered groupings of rocks or objects are preferred • The total number of groupings should also be odd • The largest rock in each cluster is placed first, then smaller rocks can be placed in relation to that rock • Asymmetry in the design should be carefully considered and incorporated Discover more activities at ringling.org MATERIALS: ACTIVITY SAND/ROCKS/PEBBLES, FORK, CONTAINER DIFFICULTY LEVEL: (SHALLOW BOX, PLATE, OR DISH), CENTERPIECE MODERATE ROCK GARDEN (SMALL FAKE TREE, DINOSAUR TOY) BUILD A TABLETOP ROCK GARDEN The act of raking and creating designs in the gravel of a rock garden can help people relax and focus on the moment, which is one of the reasons these gardens are used to practice meditation.
  • Visual Perception in Japanese Rock Garden Design

    Visual Perception in Japanese Rock Garden Design

    Axiomathes (2005) 15:353–371 Ó Springer 2005 DOI 10.1007/s10516-004-5448-8 GERT J. VAN TONDER and MICHAEL J. LYONS VISUAL PERCEPTION IN JAPANESE ROCK GARDEN DESIGN ABSTRACT. We present an investigation into the relation between design princi- ples in Japanese gardens, and their associated perceptual effects. This leads to the realization that a set of design principles described in a Japanese gardening text by Shingen (1466), shows many parallels to the visual effects of perceptual grouping, studied by the Gestalt school of psychology. Guidelines for composition of rock clusters closely relate to perception of visual figure. Garden design elements are arranged into patterns that simplify figure-ground segmentation, while seemingly balancing the visual salience of subparts and the global arrangement. Visual ‘ground’ is analyzed via medial axis transformation (MAT), often associated with shape perception in humans. MAT analysis reveals implicit structure in the visual ground of a quintessential rock garden design. The MAT structure enables formal com- parison of structure of figure and ground. They share some aesthetic qualities, with interesting differences. Both contain naturalistic asymmetric, self-similar, branching structures. While the branching pattern of the ground converges towards the viewer, that of the figure converges in the opposite direction. KEY WORDS: figure-ground, multi-scale, segmentation, tree structure, visual grouping ‘There is ... a basic issue that is only very seldomly discussed: What do we mean by ‘‘visual experience’’? Very often the problem of vision is oversimplified, and to ‘‘see’’ a scene is identified with the task of computing a verbal description of it. This problem is difficult enough, but it is important to recognize that there is much more in visual perception than assigning verbal labels to ‘‘objects’’.’ J.L.

    The Vitality and Resilience of Inherited Japanese Houses －100 Years of Shimizu-Gumi Houses－

    The Vitality and Resilience of Inherited Japanese Houses －100 Years of Shimizu-gumi Houses－ Preface Since its foundation in 1804, residential architecture had been one of the primary business focuses for Shimizu-gumi, the present Shimizu Corporation. Many books have been published to showcase its works, such as Sekkei zushū, jūtaku no maki, ji 1907 nen shi 1923 nen (Drawing collection: house, from 1907 to 1923) and Sekkei zushū, shitsunai narabini kagu dentō no maki, ji 1909 nen shi 1913 nen (Drawing collection: interior, furniture and lighting, from 1909 to 1913). These books feature painted drawings of large houses, which could be considered mansions in the Western sense, designed and built by Shimizu-gumi, and include plans, elevations, development plans, and illustrations of furniture. The books enable the reader to visualize many aspects of mansions in the Meiji era (1868-1912) and Taisho era (1912-1926,) and to understand how these mansions were significant as elements of urban culture. Additionally, an academic work based on these earlier texts was published to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Housing Research Foundation JUSOKEN: Meiji/Taisho no teitaku, Shimizu-gumi sakusei saishiki-zu no sekai (Mansions in Meiji and Taisho, the world of colored drawings created by Shimizu-gumi, Kashiwashobo, 2009, currently unavailable). This book is the product of joint research by “Shimizu Kensetsu Teitaku Shiryō Kenkyūkai” (Shimizu Corporation Mansion Document Study Group, 2004 to 2009) in the “Jūtaku Shiryō Iinkai” (Committee for historical materials about houses) of Jusoken. For the next phase of study, surveys and research on Jūtaku kenchiku zushū (Residential architecture catalog, 1st volume: 1935, 2nd volume: 1939) should be conducted.
