  • Shigisan Engi Shigisan Engi Overview
    Shigisan engi Shigisan engi Overview I. The Shigisan engi or Legends of the Temple on Mount Shigi consists of three handscrolls. Scroll 1 is commonly called “The Flying Granary,” Scroll 2 “The Exorcism of the Engi Emperor,” and Scroll 3 “The Story of the Nun.” These scrolls are a pictorial presentation of three legends handed down among the common people. These legends appear under the title “Shinano no kuni no hijiri no koto” (The Sage of Shinano Province) in both the Uji sh¯ui monogatari (Tales from Uji) and the Umezawa version of the Kohon setsuwash¯u (Collection of Ancient Legends). Since these two versions of the legends are quite similar, one is assumed to be based on the other. The Kohon setsuwash¯u ver- sion is written largely in kana, the phonetic script, with few Chinese characters and is very close to the text of the Shigisan engi handscrolls. Thus, it seems likely that there is a deep connection between the Shigisan engi and the Kohon setsuwash¯u; one was probably the basis for the other. “The Flying Granary,” Scroll 1 of the Shigisan engi, lacks the textual portion, which has probably been lost. As that suggests, the Shigisan engi have not come down to us in their original form. The Shigisan Ch¯ogosonshiji Temple owns the Shigisan engi, and the lid of the box in which the scrolls were stored lists two other documents, the Taishigun no maki (Army of Prince Sh¯otoku-taishi) and notes to that scroll, in addition to the titles of the three scrolls.

  • Japanese Costume
    JAPANESE COSTUME BY HELEN C. GUNSAULUS Assistant Curator of Japanese Ethnology FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CHICAGO 1923 Field Museum of Natural History DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY Chicago, 1923 Leaflet Number 12 Japanese Costume Though European influence is strongly marked in many of the costumes seen today in the larger sea- coast cities of Japan, there is fortunately little change to be noted in the dress of the people of the interior, even the old court costumes are worn at a few formal functions and ceremonies in the palace. From the careful scrutinizing of certain prints, particularly those known as surimono, a good idea may be gained of the appearance of all classes of people prior to the in- troduction of foreign civilization. A special selection of these prints (Series II), chosen with this idea in mind, may be viewed each year in Field Museum in Gunsaulus Hall (Room 30, Second Floor) from April 1st to July 1st at which time it is succeeded by another selection. Since surimono were cards of greeting exchanged by the more highly educated classes of Japan, many times the figures portrayed are those known through the history and literature of the country, and as such they show forth the costumes worn by historical char- acters whose lives date back several centuries. Scenes from daily life during the years between 1760 and 1860, that period just preceding the opening up of the coun- try when surimono had their vogue, also decorate these cards and thus depict the garments worn by the great middle class and the military ( samurai ) class, the ma- jority of whose descendents still cling to the national costume.

We have a new group of users. They must have intriguing stories to tell…” -Igor, to a new party. Creating a character in Persona may seem daunting at first, especially if this is your first tabletop role-playing game. The sheer complexity of the rules can turn off newcomers to the genre. The jargon may seem incomprehensible and downright inane. That sentiment is totally understandable – tabletop is not for everyone. While a game like Persona is innately complex and due to a complex system, every effort will be made to make sure that character creation is made as simple as possible, and easy enough for anyone to pick up. Why? To give the prospective players, both old and new, an ease of access to the system, without being threatened with jargon and vague bullshit. To begin, let’s outline what Persona: the RPG is.

    Land of the Crane Glossary The following is a simple glossary of Tsurukoku terms. The words “samurai”, “ninja” and “shogun” are used as English loanwords and thus not included in this glossary. Purist’s note: although Japanese is used as the basis for the language in Land of the Crane, some liberties have been taken and some meanings stretched to fit the context of a fantasy land inspired by, but not identical to, the Japan of history, myth and legend.
