Nature in Kawabata's Writings Ss.Pdf
NATURE IN KAWABATA’S WRITINGS Selected Secondary Sources His own cosmos ―While every novelist endeavors to create a proper setting for his novel, Kawabata seems to have been especially careful in preparing a cosmos uniquely his own. In these worlds of Kawabata‘s, some of the commonest words come to have special meanings, though they may vary somewhat from one reader to another. There emerges a tension between the generality of the word and the specifics of the context, and that tension becomes a source of stimulation for the reader‘s fancy.‖ --Ueda, Modern Japanese Writers, 213 Wide margins of canvas of life (moths, Russian woman) ―The kaleidoscopic succession of images . effectively suspends the narrative progress and forces us to pay attention to those large margins in the canvas of life.” --Miyashi, Accomplices of Silence, 111 In The Sound of the Mountain: ―the paragraphs, highlighting the objects of [Shingo‘s] consciousness, nonetheless gradually move away from the interior of his existence toward the container of all the drama – the world around, the wide margins of the novel.‖ --Miyashi, Accomplices of Silence, 118 Nature by itself ―Kawabata‘s achievement . lies in just this, his keen awareness of the objects around men that exist in themselves as solidly as people do. Objects, in the world and in the world of the novel, are somehow or other related to people, but Kawabata seldom makes the connection between them explicit for us. With each of his brief paragraphs self-contained in this way . these objects tend to stand autonomous.” --Miyashi, Accomplices of Silence, 119 > not a statement of atomism, but of biocentrism ―What I would call Kawabata‘s nominal imagination is apparent even in his earliest work.

Japan Foundation Supported Project Mikio Naruse Season at the BFI Southbank
Japan Foundation Supported Project Mikio Naruse Season at the BFI Southbank Date: 29 June – 31 July 2007 Venue: BFI Southbank, London In Japan Naruse Mikio (1905-69) is considered to be a master of the cinema and revered as much as Mizoguchi and Ozu, yet his films are largely unknown here in the UK. The season of Naruse's greatest films that showed at the British Film Institute from 29 June – 31 July 2007 was therefore an exciting and invaluable experience. Naruse's films display a unique, pure dramatic and visual sensibility and are often poignant tales of working-class life concentrating, notably, on female characters who are both trapped by, and struggling against, social and familial mores. Naruse portrays women in a realistic way and seems to understand them and their role in modern society. Naruse's films are similar to those of Ozu, in particular the world of Tokyo Story but his trajectory and scope go beyond that of even Ozu's, for they go to the still centre of the turning world in depicting with empathy the lives of ordinary women in 50s’ Tokyo. His Tokyo is both emblematic of the miracle of post-war reconstruction and a reminder of the sad, tragic and non-distant past. In this retrospective of Naruse's films, many are depictions of this Tokyo. In particular the film Ginza Cosmetics (1951), in which Tanaka Kinuyo is sensational as a fading bar hostess in the Ginza District of Tokyo, nearing middle-age and unable to spend time with her son. It is a key post-war Japanese film and is essential viewing.

Hideko Takamine
Hideko Takamine By Ron Holloway Spring 1994 Issue of KINEMA AT SEVENTY, she’s Japan’s greatest living actress, often compared to Mary Pickford, but more like a Katherine Hepburn for the range of her talent and commanding presence of the screen -- Hideko Takamine. Despite being recognized as a screen immortal in Japan, only a handful of her more than three hundred film appearances are known in the United States, due to the tragic destruction of the Japanese filmarchives during the war. Thus she’s known in the West mostly by her postwar films, made during that last great period of Japanese cinema of the 1950s and early 1960s, after which television was to replace moviegoing as the population’s favourite form of entertainment. Rather late in her career, Takamine did venture into television, but was never satisfied with the results. Finally, in 1979, deciding that the new medium was not for her, she gracefully took leave of the screen to enjoy for the first time in five decades the pleasures of a private life. When at the last Tokyo Film Festival I asked to interview her, Japanese critics told me that such was impossible: ”She just doesn’t give interviews.” But a mutual friend, film historian Akira Shimizu, intervened on my behalf for a casual meeting, which was arranged one afternoon at the International House. To put the record straight, Hideko Takamine has been interviewed at length by American journalist Phyllis Birnbaum for a ”Profile” published in New Yorker in November of 1990. Moreover, her key postwar films -- made together with Mikio Naruse, one of her two favourite directors -- were programmed by American film historian Audie E.

Selected Secondary Sources on Kawabata's Snow Country
SELECTED SECONDARY SOURCES ON KAWABATA’S SNOW COUNTRY Selected by David Barnhill Ueda, Makoto. Modern Japanese Writers and the Nature of Literature. Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1976. ―Life in the real world was a mixture of things true and untrue, pure and impure, sincere and insincere. A novelist leading a spiritually rich life would be able to pick out only those things in life that were true, pure, and sincere, and then rearrange them to produce an order of reality more beautiful than the everyday kind. A man living a spiritually deprived existence would not be capable of doing so.‖ --Ueda, Modern Japanese Writers, 175 ―In general, then, it can be said that, for Kawabata, the best literary material was a life that was vital, positive, and pure.‖ --Ueda, Modern Japanese Writers, 176 ―Kawabata, however, differed from Shiga in one significant way: he did not idealize wild animals. For Shiga, the life of a sturdy animal in its natural setting was the ultimate model for human life. For Kawabata this was not so; animals in the wild might be living a more genuine life than men, but they were not conscious of it nor did they strive to perfect themselves.‖ --Ueda, Modern Japanese Writers, 176 ―Pure life‘ as conceived by Kawabata, then, is dynamic. It is energy generated by striving after an ideal. To use his favorite word, it is a ‗longing.‘ Deploring the fact that critics frequently called him a decadent writer or a nihilist, he once explained: ‗I have never written a story that has decadence or nihilism for its main theme.
