  • Rhyming Pattern Selection in Japanese Short Poetry
    Original Paper________________________________________________________ Forma, 21, 259–273, 2006 Statistical Prosody: Rhyming Pattern Selection in Japanese Short Poetry Kazuya HAYATA Department of Socio-Informatics, Sapporo Gakuin University, Ebetsu 069-8555, Japan E-mail address: [email protected] (Received August 5, 2005; Accepted August 2, 2006) Keywords: Quantitative Poetics, Rhyme, HAIKU, TANKA, Bell Number Abstract. Rhyme patterns of Japanese short poetry such as HAIKU, SENRYU, SEDOKAs, and TANKAs are analyzed by a statistical approach. Here HAIKU and SENRYU are poems composed of only seventeen syllables, which can be segmented into five, seven, and five syllables. As rhyming both head and end rhymes are considered. Analyses of sampled works of typical poets show that for the end rhyme composers prefere the avoided rhyming, whereas for the head rhyme they compose poems according to the stochastic law. Subsequently the statistical method is applied to a work of SEDOKAs as well as to those of TANKAs being written with three lines. Evaluation of the khi-square statistics shows that for a certain work of TANKAs the feature being identical to that of HAIKU is seen. 1. Introduction Irrespective of languages, texts are categorized into proses and verses. Poems, in general, take the form of the latter. Conventional poetics has classified poems into a variety of forms such as a lyric, an epic, a prose, a long, and a short poem. One finds that in typical European poetry a sound on a site in a line is correlated to that on the same site in another line in an established form. Correlation among feet of lines is termed end rhyme in contrast to the head rhyme for the one among heads of lines (SAKAMOTO, 2002).

Mack Horton Professor Daniel C. O’Neill Professor Anne-Lise François Summer 2018 © 2018 Matthew Stanhope Mewhinney All Rights Reserved Abstract The Lyric Forms of the Literati Mind: Yosa Buson, Ema Saikō, Masaoka Shiki and Natsume Sōseki by Matthew Stanhope Mewhinney Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Language University of California, Berkeley Professor Alan Tansman, Chair This dissertation examines the transformation of lyric thinking in Japanese literati (bunjin) culture from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. I examine four poet- painters associated with the Japanese literati tradition in the Edo (1603-1867) and Meiji (1867- 1912) periods: Yosa Buson (1716-83), Ema Saikō (1787-1861), Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) and Natsume Sōseki (1867-1916). Each artist fashions a lyric subjectivity constituted by the kinds of blending found in literati painting and poetry. I argue that each artist’s thoughts and feelings emerge in the tensions generated in the process of blending forms, genres, and the ideas (aesthetic, philosophical, social, cultural, and historical) that they carry with them.

To N Walt Whitman he was “that Japanee.” To W. C.

FEJEZET KOSZTOLÁNYI DEZSŐ, A FORDÍTÓ Bevezetés „Fordítani nem lehet, csak átültetni, újrakölteni.”1 Az irodalom művelőinek, a költőknek, íróknak fontos szerep jut a társadalomban, s pontosan meg tudjuk határozni az irodalomtörténész és az irodalomkritikus helyét is. A műfordító azonban mintha kimaradna e felsorolásból. A közvélemény – melyet semmiképpen sem ajánlatos értékformáló mérceként beállítani – még a mai napig is azt a véleményt osztja, miszerint annak a műfordítónak, aki prózát fordít, egyben írónak is kell lennie, és nem nevezhető „igazi” műfordítónak az, aki lírát annak ellenére fordít, hogy önálló kötete valaha is megjelent volna. Sokat változott az idők folyamán a műfordítói szerep, maga a fordítás a szakfordítás szinonimájává vált, melyről sokaknak egy gyári munkához hasonló mechanikus folyamat jut eszébe. Amíg azonban egy tolmácstól elvárható, hogy folyékonyan beszélje az

For Maya and Sōjun Foreword There is no concept or archetype in Zen Buddhism that does not self-destruct. The Diamond Sutra says, “The Buddha does not have the thirty-two marks of the Buddha, therefore he (or she) is called Buddha.” Buddha, shunyata, prajna, maya—all are provisional. With such transparent and ephemeral terminology and imagery Zen Buddhism becomes American, Australian, Polish, and Argentine, while Confucianism remains Chinese, however skillfully it is translated. Heidegger remains German in the most fluent Japanese. Zen is poetry, as R. H. Blyth said.1 Poetry might use unfamiliar words and names, but these can be looked up, and when they are clear East and West can smile together. Paradise is None of my business, but I’ve got to go Help Amitabha Buddha Who works there. I find this Dharma song in Sōiku Shigematsu’s collection to be reminiscent of Gary Snyder’s American haiku: You be Bosatsu, I’ll be the taxi driver Driving you home.2 Amitabha is the Buddha of Infinite Light and Life who guides us to the Western Paradise when we die.

  • Elias Goldensky: Wizard of Photography' Gary D
    Elias Goldensky: Wizard of Photography' Gary D. Saretzky Who would not, out of sheer vanity, like to have himself photographed by ... Elias Goldensky ... ? Sidney Allan [Sadakichi Hartmann], 1904 In June 1924, Elias Goldensky (1867-1943) traveled from his Philadel- phia studio to demonstrate his portrait photography technique at the Con- vention of the Ontario Society of Photographers in Toronto. To encourage attendance, the Society printed a publicity card with Goldenskys portrait. The text on the back reflects the esteem with which Goldensky was held by his professional colleagues: Mr. Elias Goldensky, the Wizard of Photography, is coming from Philadelphia to demonstrate at our convention .... He has dem- onstrated at Conventions perhaps more than any other living pho- tographer. He is a most interesting lecturer and has the great gift of being a natural teacher; he can, and will, solve your many light- ing problems. He will show how to so balance a lighting that he can light four subjects at opposite corners at one time, clever as this may be in its practical way; he will also demonstrate how to make pictorial work. He is an acknowledged artist, in addition to. his practical craftsmanship. Three Big Performances from the brain of this marvelous workman. You owe it to yourself to see and hear him. .2 The wizard did not disappoint his audience. As reported by the Toronto Star Weekly on June 28 under the headline, "King of the Camera Works Like Greased Lightning," Goldensky, described as "one of the six best in the coun- try," took 400 portraits in 55 minutes while keeping up an amusing running commentary: "Good morning, madam," he began, "in the ma-ter of portraits we have two sizes, one at six photos for twenty dollars, one at six for forty.

    MIXED RACE CAPITAL: CULTURAL PRODUCERS AND ASIAN AMERICAN MIXED RACE IDENTITY FROM THE LATE NINETEENTH TO TWENTIETH CENTURY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIʻI AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES MAY 2018 By Stacy Nojima Dissertation Committee: Vernadette V. Gonzalez, Chairperson Mari Yoshihara Elizabeth Colwill Brandy Nālani McDougall Ruth Hsu Keywords: Mixed Race, Asian American Culture, Merle Oberon, Sadakichi Hartmann, Winnifred Eaton, Bardu Ali Acknowledgements This dissertation was a journey that was nurtured and supported by several people. I would first like to thank my dissertation chair and mentor Vernadette Gonzalez, who challenged me to think more deeply and was able to encompass both compassion and force when life got in the way of writing. Thank you does not suffice for the amount of time, advice, and guidance she invested in me. I want to thank Mari Yoshihara and Elizabeth Colwill who offered feedback on multiple chapter drafts. Brandy Nālani McDougall always posited thoughtful questions that challenged me to see my project at various angles, and Ruth Hsu’s mentorship and course on Asian American literature helped to foster my early dissertation ideas. Along the way, I received invaluable assistance from the archive librarians at the University of Riverside, University of Calgary, and the Margaret Herrick Library in the Beverly Hills Motion Picture Museum. I am indebted to American Studies Department at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa for its support including the professors from whom I had the privilege of taking classes and shaping early iterations of my dissertation and the staff who shepherded me through the process and paperwork.

T. Tsiang accessed dominant US publishing markets and readerships by presenting themselves and their works as cultural hybrids that strategically blended enticing Eastern content and forms with familiar Western language and structures. Yan Phou Lee perpetrated cross-cultural comparisons that showed that Chinese were not unlike Europeans and Americans. Yung Wing appropriated and then transformed dominant American autobiographical narratives to recuperate Chinese character. Sadakichi Hartmann and Yone Noguchi combined poetic traditions from Japan, Europe, and America in order to define a modernism that included cosmopolitans such as themselves. And H. T. Tsiang promoted Marxist world revolution by experimenting with fusions of Eastern and Western elements with leftist ideology.

  • Kanshi, Haiku and Media in Meiji Japan, 1870-1900
    The Poetry of Dialogue: Kanshi, Haiku and Media in Meiji Japan, 1870-1900 Robert James Tuck Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Robert Tuck All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Poetry of Dialogue: Kanshi, Haiku and Media in Meiji Japan, 1870-1900 Robert Tuck This dissertation examines the influence of ‘poetic sociality’ during Japan’s Meiji period (1867-1912). ‘Poetic sociality’ denotes a range of practices within poetic composition that depend upon social interaction among individuals, most importantly the tendency to practice poetry as a group activity, pedagogical practices such as mutual critique and the master-disciple relationship, and the exchange among individual poets of textually linked forms of verse. Under the influence of modern European notions of literature, during the late Meiji period both prose fiction and the idea of literature as originating in the subjectivity of the individual assumed hegemonic status. Although often noted as a major characteristic of pre-modern poetry, poetic sociality continued to be enormously influential in the literary and social activities of 19th century Japanese intellectuals despite the rise of prose fiction during late Meiji, and was fundamental to the way in which poetry was written, discussed and circulated. One reason for this was the growth of a mass-circulation print media from early Meiji onward, which provided new venues for the publication of poetry and enabled the expression of poetic sociality across distance and outside of face-to-face gatherings. With poetic exchange increasingly taking place through newspapers and literary journals, poetic sociality acquired a new and openly political aspect.
