  • Guts and Tears Kinpira Jōruri and Its Textual Transformations
    Guts and Tears Kinpira Jōruri and Its Textual Transformations Janice Shizue Kanemitsu In seventeenth-century Japan, dramatic narratives were being performed under drastically new circumstances. Instead of itinerant performers giving performances at religious venues in accordance with a ritual calendar, professionals staged plays at commercial, secular, and physically fixed venues. Theaters contracted artists to perform monthly programs (that might run shorter or longer than a month, depending on a given program’s popularity and other factors) and operated on revenues earned by charging theatergoers admission fees. A theater’s survival thus hinged on staging hit plays that would draw audiences. And if a particular cast of characters was found to please crowds, producing plays that placed the same characters in a variety of situations was one means of ensuring a full house. Kinpira jōruri 金平浄瑠璃 enjoyed tremendous though short-lived popularity as a form of puppet theater during the mid-1600s. Though its storylines lack the nuanced sophistication of later theatrical narra- tives, Kinpira jōruri offers a vivid illustration of how theater interacted with publishing in Japan during the early Tokugawa 徳川 period. This essay begins with an overview of Kinpira jōruri’s historical background, and then discusses the textualization of puppet theater plays. Although Kinpira jōruri plays were first composed as highly masculinized period pieces revolving around political scandals, they gradually transformed to incorporate more sentimentalism and female protagonists. The final part of this chapter will therefore consider the fundamental characteristics of Kinpira jōruri as a whole, and explore the ways in which the circulation of Kinpira jōruri plays—as printed texts— encouraged a transregional hybridization of this theatrical genre.

  • Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.18 No.2, Aug. 2013) 31 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) 1 Nakano Hitoshi* Foreword The Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 16th Century is also called the Chosŏn (Joseon) Campaign or the Bunroku Keicho Offensive in Japan or the Imjin (Jp., Jinshin) War. In Japan, studies of the event have been actively conducted since the Edo period. There is a large amount of aca- demic research also in the early modern period. A historic review of the Bunroku Keicho Offensive that I wrote in regard of Japan in the early modern period appeared in the Report of the Second Round of the Korea- Japan Commission for the Joint Study of History, Subcommittee-2 (2010). Here, I intend to focus on recent research trends in Japan. Therefore, please refer to that previous article for discussions carried on in the period preceding Shōwa. In the main text, I intend to outline the research trends up to the 1970s, which relates to what I am asked to do, and then review the state of research in the 1980s and thereafter. Part of this will overlap with the contents of the previous article. I will deal with the task in units of a decade, and include explanation where necessary. * Kyushu University Faculty of Social and Cultural Studies 32 Research Trends in Japan on the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592(Imjin War) Research Trend up to the 1970s In the post-World War II period, a new view was adopted concerning the flow of the post-war study of history, inheriting the demonstrative research of the pre-war period.

  • Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J
    Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei mandara Talia J. Andrei Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2016 © 2016 Talia J.Andrei All rights reserved Abstract Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J. Andrei This dissertation examines the historical and artistic circumstances behind the emergence in late medieval Japan of a short-lived genre of painting referred to as sankei mandara (pilgrimage mandalas). The paintings are large-scale topographical depictions of sacred sites and served as promotional material for temples and shrines in need of financial support to encourage pilgrimage, offering travelers worldly and spiritual benefits while inspiring them to donate liberally. Itinerant monks and nuns used the mandara in recitation performances (etoki) to lead audiences on virtual pilgrimages, decoding the pictorial clues and touting the benefits of the site shown. Addressing themselves to the newly risen commoner class following the collapse of the aristocratic order, sankei mandara depict commoners in the role of patron and pilgrim, the first instance of them being portrayed this way, alongside warriors and aristocrats as they make their way to the sites, enjoying the local delights, and worship on the sacred grounds. Together with the novel subject material, a new artistic language was created— schematic, colorful and bold. We begin by locating sankei mandara’s artistic roots and influences and then proceed to investigate the individual mandara devoted to three sacred sites: Mt. Fuji, Kiyomizudera and Ise Shrine (a sacred mountain, temple and shrine, respectively).

    Kikigaki 5 ( 482 to 632 ) Sayings and deeds of Lords Mitsushige and Tsunashige 482) Lord Mitsushige inherits his household in February, 1657 at the age of 26. On February 19, Okabe Naizen and Tamba-no-kami summoned Nabeshima Izumi- no-kami Naotomo to Edo Castle, and informed that Lord Katsushige was admitted to retire and that Mitsushige, his grandson, was allowed to succeed to the household of Saga Clan. On March 1 Prince Mitsushige paid a visit to the castle to express his gratitude to the Shogunate. He donated a sword inscribed with the name of Bungo Yukihira, 300 leaves of silver, 100 hundred sheets of fine silk, while Lord Katsushige offered a sword made by Sadamune and a scroll of picture with a peony design. Nabeshima Mondo, Nabeshima Nui-no-suke, and Arita Kageyu, administrative retainers, also donated ex- penses to buy horses. On January 18 a big fire broke out in Edo, burning our clan’s Sakurada residence. Prince Mitsushige moved to the Aoyama residence, then again to the Azabu residence on May 4. On May 19 a gale blew and burnt Edo Castle and many more houses, though the secondary enclosure of the castle escaped the fire. Spreading to nearly 90 km, it claimed the lives of more than 37,000 people. ＊ Okabe Naizen and Tamba-no-kami were high ranking officials for the Shogunate. ＊ Nabeshima Izumi-no-kami was the lord of the Kashima branch clan. 483) The era name changes from Meireki to Manji in May 1658. The lord is aged 27. Lord Mitsushige was admitted by the Shogunate to return to Saga in February, and left Edo on the last day, arriving in Saga on April 5.
