    Tourists in Paradise Writing the Pure Land in Medieval Japanese Fiction

    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 33/2: 269–296 © 2006 Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture R. Keller Kimbrough Tourists in Paradise Writing the Pure Land in Medieval Japanese Fiction Late-medieval Japanese fiction contains numerous accounts of lay and monastic travelers to the Pure Land and other extra-human realms. In many cases, the “tourists” are granted guided tours, after which they are returned to the mun- dane world in order to tell of their unusual experiences. This article explores several of these stories from around the sixteenth century, including, most prominently, Fuji no hitoana sōshi, Tengu no dairi, and a section of Seiganji engi. I discuss the plots and conventions of these and other narratives, most of which appear to be based upon earlier oral tales employed in preaching and fund-raising, in order to illuminate their implications for our understanding of Pure Land-oriented Buddhism in late-medieval Japan. I also seek to demon- strate the diversity and subjectivity of Pure Land religious experience, and the sometimes startling gap between orthodox doctrinal and popular vernacular representations of Pure Land practices and beliefs. keywords: otogizōshi – jisha engi – shaji engi – Fuji no hitoana sōshi – Bishamon no honji – Tengu no dairi – Seiganji engi – hell – travel R. Keller Kimbrough is an assistant professor of Japanese Literature at the University of Colorado at Boulder. 269 ccording to an anonymous work of fifteenth- or early sixteenth- century Japanese fiction by the name of Chōhōji yomigaeri no sōshi 長宝 寺よみがへりの草紙 [Back from the dead at Chōhōji Temple], the Japa- Anese Buddhist nun Keishin dropped dead on the sixth day of the sixth month of Eikyō 11 (1439), made her way to the court of King Enma, ruler of the under- world, and there received the King’s personal religious instruction and a trau- matic tour of hell.

    The Shôkyû Version of the Kitano Tenjin Engi Emaki: a Brief Introduction to Its Content and Function

    Eras Edition 11, November 2009 – http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/publications/eras The Shôkyû version of the Kitano Tenjin engi emaki: A brief introduction to its content and function Sara L. Sumpter (University of Pittsburgh) Abstract: This article examines the political and social atmosphere surrounding the production of the thirteenth-century hand scroll Kitano Tenjin engi emaki (Illustrated Legends of the Kitano Shrine), which depicts the life, death and posthumous revenge of the ninth-century courtier Sugawara no Michizane. The article combines an analysis of the content and religious iconography of the scroll, a study of early Japanese beliefs in angry spirits of the dead, and a narration of the actual life of Michizane in an attempt to produce a sketch of the rituals and superstitions of Heian and early Kamakura period Japanese society, and to suggest possible functions of the hand scroll that complement them. The hand scroll sets collectively known as the Kitano Tenjin engi emaki (Illustrated Legends of the Kitano Shrine) each tell the story of the life and death of the ninth- century courtier and poet, Sugawara no Michizane (845–903), and of the posthumous revenge undertaken by his vengeful spirit (onryô). According to the scrolls, Michizane was falsely accused of treason by rivals at the Heian court who were jealous of his astronomical rise to power. He was exiled to Dazaifu on the island of Kyushu in 901 and died there two years later in despair. His spirit persisted in seeking retribution against his enemies and in reclaiming his position and honours. He is said to have stalked his numerous rivals in the form of the thunder god (raijin) before ultimately revealing to a frightened court, through a series of intermediaries, the means of his pacification: deification and worship at the Kitano Shrine in Kyoto.1 Today the Kitano Tenjin engi emaki (hereafter referred to as the Tenjin scrolls) number more than thirty extant examples, ranging in date from the early thirteenth century to the nineteenth century.

    8. Platform Producer Meets Game Master

    8. Platform Producer Meets Game Master On the Conditions for the Media Mix Marc Steinberg Boni, Marta (ed.), World Building. Transmedia, Fans, Industries. Amster- dam University Press, 2017 doi: 10.5117/9789089647566/ch08 Abstract This chapter examines the necessary conditions for the creation of a trans- media franchise. Despite transmedia storytelling manuals’ optimistic repetition of the refrain that all you need is your imagination, transmedia development requires specific, often precise conditions to occur. This chapter focuses on two of these necessary conditions in particular: condi- tions or media a priori that have been essential to the development of the Japanese media mix from the 1980s onwards. Exploring Kadokawa Tsuguhiko and his associates’ creation of transmedia worlds within the Japanese publisher Kadokawa Books during the 1980s and 1990s, this chapter suggests that one of these a priori is the development of maga- zines. A second, strategic or conceptual a priori for the media mix during the 1980s is the development of the figure of the creator as game master or producer—something that closely resembles what in Hollywood has more recently be called the transmedia producer. In focusing on these two developments and their industry context in the Japan of the 1980s and 1990s, we arrive at the two the necessary conditions for the contemporary form of the media mix and its creation of transmedia worlds. Keywords: Media mix; Platform producer; Transmedia in Japan; Ka- dokawa Books; Otsuka Eiji What are the necessary conditions for transmedia development? What are the medial conditions that support the creation and prolonging of story- worlds? Transmedia storytelling manuals often repeat what they present as a truism: that anyone with an active imagination can create a storyworld.
