  • Anime and Historical Inversion in Miyazaki Hayao's Princess
    Anime and Historical Inversion in Miyazaki Hayao’s Princess Mononoke John A. Tucker East Carolina University Introduction If box office receipts are any indication of cultural significance, then Miyazaki Hayao’s Princess Mononoke (Mononokehime, 1997) surely stands as one of the most important works of late-twentieth-century Japanese popular culture: currently it remains the highest-grossing (¥16.65 billion, approximately $150 million) domestic film in Japanese history. Prior to the release of The Titanic, Princess Mononoke eclipsed E.T. and reigned as the biggest box-office hit ever, domestic or foreign, in Japan. While The Titanic has since surpassed Princess Mononoke in overall ticket sales, over 13.53 million Japanese, or more than one-tenth of the population, have watched Princess Mononoke in theatres, and over five million copies of the video have been sold domestically (Yoneda, 204). Princess Mononoke also stands as the most expensive animated movie ever made in Japan, with a 3 billion yen (approximately $30 million) production cost (Wakita et al., 168). Critics have lauded it in literally hundreds of media reviews, especially in Japanese film and popular culture publications such as Kinema junpō, SAPIO, Nyūmedeia, AERA, uirumumeekaazu, Bessatsu Comicbox, Bessatsu Takarajima, Tech Win, Shunkan Kinyōbi, Video Doo!, Yurika, Cinema Talk, and SPA!, as well as in the major newspapers, periodicals, and regional media. Additionally, Princess Mononoke has been awarded numerous prizes, most notably the 21st Japan Academy Award for Best Film (Kuji, 3-4; Schilling, 3). Not surprisingly the film has been released internationally, with an English language version, featuring numerous familiar American voices, including that of Gillian Anderson and Billy Bob Thornton, thus making it exceptionally accessible in the United States for anime fans, and those interested in Japanese history and culture.

  • Repentance Does Not Come First by Robert Denton III
    Repentance Does Not Come First By Robert Denton III His father used to say that it wasn’t wise to “gamble as the dice fell,” but they were cast now, so there was no longer any room for doubt. From this moment onward, his heart and mind must be in accord. Isawa Tadaka steeled himself and pushed the door aside. “Tadaka!” Shiba Tetsu rose from his cushion with a bright grin. In the teahouse’s muted light, the crest of the Order of Chikai glowed on his crimson robes. Tadaka returned the smile. “You are a sight for sore eyes, Tetsu-san.” “I’m just glad to see you are in one piece. You take such needless risks these days!” Tadaka shrugged. “The fruit is at the end of the branch.” They sat before a short lacquered table, Tetsu setting his iron kettle on a bed of hot coals and readying his ladle and whisks. “How is your recovery going?” “As well as can be expected.” Tadaka resisted the urge to touch his bandaged side. “Garanto Province was…humbling.” “So I’ve heard,” said Tetsu, pouring fresh water into the kettle. “How did you find the Kaito?” “Charming, but naïve.” He laughed at that. “Such is to be expected when one spends one’s whole life in the mountains, cut off from the outside world.” He flashed a look Tadaka’s way. “But then, you wouldn’t know anything about that, right?” “I came down for festivals.” A pause. “Sometimes.” Tetsu grinned and readied two cups. “Even so,” Tadaka continued, “I believe they are an underutilized resource for the clan.

  • 3. Genji and Suzaku (2): the Possibility of Ukifune
    3. Genji and Suzaku (2): The Possibility of Ukifune This essay continues the previous one by suggesting that Suzaku’s bitterness toward Genji, precipitated by the misfortune of his daughter, may affect even the tale’s last heroine, Ukifune, through the mechanism of spirit possession. It also discusses more generally the nature and significance of Ukifune’s experience. Nearly all Genji readers, particularly non-specialists, have long taken it for granted that she throws herself into the nearby river in order to drown, but that she is instead swept downstream and washed ashore at the spot where she is then found.1 However, the narrative shows that a spirit, not the river, carries her. This spirit, the one exorcised in “Tenarai,” is the one that can be hypothetically associated with Suzaku. Ukifune’s reputation Ukifune is the last major female character in the tale, and the most striking part of her story is told in the final chapters (“Ukifune” to “Yume no ukihashi”). In “Ukifune” Kaoru and Niou, the young men most prominent in the Uji chapters, pursue her, and the success of both places her in an agonizing dilemma. She could save herself by choosing one lover over the other, but she remains unable to do so. Instead she sinks into paralyzing despair, and living as she does beside the Uji River, decides to drown herself. At the end of “Ukifune” the reader knows what she is about to do, and the next morning (the start of the next chapter, “Kagerō”) she has indeed disappeared. However, early in the chapter after that (“Tenarai”) she is found alive under a tree.

  • Toriyama Sekien Och Hans Arv En Analys Av Toriyama Sekiens Yōkai Kataloger, Deras Kawaii-Estetik Och Sekiens Inflytande På Det Japanska Folkets Föreställningsvärld
    Kandidatuppsats Toriyama Sekien och hans arv En analys av Toriyama Sekiens yōkai kataloger, deras kawaii-estetik och Sekiens inflytande på det japanska folkets föreställningsvärld Författare: Martin van der Linden Handledare: Johan Adetorp Examinator: Torsten Löfstedt Termin: HT17 Ämne: Religionsvetenskap Nivå: Grundnivå Kurskod: 2RK30E Abstract Toriyama Sekien and his legacy An analysis of Toriyama Sekien's yōkai catalogues, their "kawaii" aesthetics and Sekien’s influence on the imagination of the Japanese people In this essay, I study Toriyama Sekien’s yōkai (supernatural beings) catalogues and undertake a diachronic examination surrounding Sekien's imprint on his contemporaries and modern times, striving to highlight the aesthetic dimension that adds to the popularity of yōkai today. Through an image analysis based on a modified version of Roman Jakobson's communication model and a diachronic examination of Sekien’s influence on the imagination of the Japanese people, I have investigated how and why Sekien chose to depict yōkai in his catalogues as kawaii (cute). The questions that have driven my study are as follows: 1. Why does Toriyama Sekien kawaii use aesthetic codes in his four catalogues? 2. In what ways have Toriyama Sekien's catalogues influenced the Japanese people's imagination and world view? The study is anchored in cute studies theories, and with the theory Displacement of Meaning, I have identified possible answers to how Sekien has influenced the Japanese people's imagination: (1) kawaii aesthetic codes are found in Toriyama Sekien's work, because Sekien tried to make his creations as attractive as possible. To accomplish this, he used aesthetic elements which cute studies theories have found control what we perceive as kawaii and thus attractive.
