    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).

    The Role of Medicine in the Construction of a Modern Japanese Identity, 1868-1912 Disse

    Science, Nurses, Physicians and Disease: The Role of Medicine in the Construction of a Modern Japanese Identity, 1868-1912 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Roberto Ramon Padilla II Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: James Bartholomew, Advisor Cynthia Brokaw Philip Brown Copyright by Roberto Ramon Padilla II 2009 Abstract This is a history of the emergence of a modern Japanese identity in the latter half of the nineteenth century as seen through the lens of scientific medicine. This study makes the argument that Japanese physicians’ construction of a modern identity was a two-fold process that identified Japan in line with Western imperialism and Western fields of knowledge, while conceptually distancing the island nation from nearby Asian neighbors. This perspective, which reflected the growing understanding among Japanese of their country’s emerging place in the world in the Meiji era (1868-1912), occurred within the context of the broad social, political, economic and military reforms that defined this period. Western medicine based on the rational proofs and perceived universality of scientific inquiry, positioned Japanese physicians as agents of modernity. I examine the way scientific medicine informed Japanese modernity in two ways: I begin by looking at how the Japanese Red Cross Society nurse came to be perceived as a national heroine, then I explain the Japanese Army Medical Bureau’s struggle to prevent beriberi, a nutritional deficiency illness in its ranks. These case studies offer a window into the interplay between modern medicine and traditional social values and underscore the reality that a field of knowledge is not adopted, but rather adapted and negotiated.

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.

    Flute Repertoire from Japan: An Analysis of Twentieth-Century Flute Sonatas by Ikuma Dan, Hikaru Hayashi, and Akira Tamba D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel Ryan Gallagher, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee: Professor Katherine Borst Jones, Advisor Dr. Arved Ashby Dr. Caroline Hartig Professor Karen Pierson 1 Copyrighted by Daniel Ryan Gallagher 2019 2 Abstract Despite the significant number of compositions by influential Japanese composers, Japanese flute repertoire remains largely unknown outside of Japan. Apart from standard unaccompanied works by Tōru Takemitsu and Kazuo Fukushima, other Japanese flute compositions have yet to establish a permanent place in the standard flute repertoire. The purpose of this document is to broaden awareness of Japanese flute compositions through the discussion, analysis, and evaluation of substantial flute sonatas by three important Japanese composers: Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), Hikaru Hayashi (1931- 2012), and Akira Tamba (b. 1932). A brief history of traditional Japanese flute music, a summary of Western influences in Japan’s musical development, and an overview of major Japanese flute compositions are included to provide historical and musical context for the composers and works in this document. Discussions on each composer’s background, flute works, and compositional style inform the following flute sonata analyses, which reveal the unique musical language and characteristics that qualify each work for inclusion in the standard flute repertoire. These analyses intend to increase awareness and performance of other Japanese flute compositions specifically and lesser- known repertoire generally.

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

    Portrait of General Imamura Presented to Him in 1942 by the Indonesian Artist Basuki Abdullah

    Portrait of General Imamura presented to him in 1942 by the Indonesian artist Basuki Abdullah. GENERAL IMAMURA AND THE EARLY PERIOD OF JAPANESE OCCUPATION Mitsuo Nakamura Most post-war studies of Japanese policies in Southeast Asia during World War II are colored by the "moralistic" biases of their authors, which include apologists as well as critics.1 But in fact many of the situations and events for which criticism is levelled at the Japanese occupying forces arise not from anything specifical­ ly Japanese but from the general nature of a military government of occupation in wartime: whether that government is established by a "fascist" nation, as in the case of Japan, or a "democratic" one, as in the case of the United States.2 Military governments of occupation generally tend toward absolutism, and their rulers, backed by overwhelming force, often display an air of superiority and arrogance toward their subjects. Aid to combat units engaged in prosecuting the war becomes the supreme concern, while the civil rights of the civilian population are neglected. Utilization of the pre-existing forms of government in the occupied areas is pre­ ferred to imposing political and social changes, but often military governors find themselves facing barriers of cultural and linguistic difference which separate them from the governed. How much success the governors have in overcoming these barriers depends to a large extent on the personal character and training of the key adminis­ trative personnel. And however successful a military government may be in this regard, it is bound to invite resentment and hatred from the governed sooner or later.

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.
