  • Introduction to Kanbun: W4019x (Fall 2004) Mondays and Wednesdays 11-12:15, Kress Room, Starr Library (Entrance on 200 Level)
    1 Introduction to Kanbun: W4019x (Fall 2004) Mondays and Wednesdays 11-12:15, Kress Room, Starr Library (entrance on 200 Level) David Lurie (212-854-5034, [email protected]) Office Hours: Tuesdays 2-4, 500A Kent Hall This class is intended to build proficiency in reading the variety of classical Japanese written styles subsumed under the broad term kanbun []. More specifically, it aims to foster familiarity with kundoku [], a collection of techniques for reading and writing classical Japanese in texts largely or entirely composed of Chinese characters. Because it is impossible to achieve fluent reading ability using these techniques in a mere semester, this class is intended as an introduction. Students will gain familiarity with a toolbox of reading strategies as they are exposed to a variety of premodern written styles and genres, laying groundwork for more thorough competency in specific areas relevant to their research. This is not a class in Classical Chinese: those who desire facility with Chinese classical texts are urged to study Classical Chinese itself. (On the other hand, some prior familiarity with Classical Chinese will make much of this class easier). The pre-requisite for this class is Introduction to Classical Japanese (W4007); because our focus is the use of Classical Japanese as a tool to understand character-based texts, it is assumed that students will already have control of basic Classical Japanese grammar. Students with concerns about their competence should discuss them with me immediately. Goals of the course: 1) Acquire basic familiarity with kundoku techniques of reading, with a focus on the classes of special characters (unread characters, twice-read characters, negations, etc.) that form the bulk of traditional Japanese kanbun pedagogy.

  • Display of Japanese Language Features Within Ecoa Measures
    Display of Japanese Language Features within eCOA Measures: Challenges and Recommendations Authors: Jonathan Norman, BA (Hons); Naoto Hasegawa, BA; Matthew Blackall, BA; Alisa Heinzman, MFA; Tim Poepsel, PhD; Rachna Kaul, MPA; Brittanie Newton, BA; Elizabeth McCullough, MA; Shawn McKown, MA OBJECTIVE DISCUSSION According to the World Health Organisation, after the US and China, Japan is home to the third highest number of clinical trials in the Kanji appearing with Chinese strokes rather than Japanese strokes (which RWS Life Sciences found to be the case in 57% of our world1. In fact, the number of trials being conducted in Japan increased by over 6,000% from 2001 (n=83) to 2017 (n=5,305). As a result convenience sample) is often caused by Chinese and Japanese eCOA builds being programmed to use the same font. Where a character of this, the use of Japanese Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs) has become increasingly commonplace. The objective of this study only appears in Japanese, the system displays the character correctly as there is no other option. However, where a character appears was to describe and analyse two of the main challenges associated with the display of Japanese language features in electronic COAs in both Japanese and Chinese (as is the case with Kanji), some fonts will use the Chinese version only meaning that the character displays (eCOAs) and present recommendations for their resolution. incorrectly for Japan. Although Kanji characters displayed using Chinese strokes are understandable to a Japanese-speaking audience, it’s important to BACKGROUND remember how a COA is interpreted can impact the way certain respondents will interact with it.

  • Writing As Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-Language Literature
    At the Intersection of Script and Literature: Writing as Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-language Literature Christopher J Lowy A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2021 Reading Committee: Edward Mack, Chair Davinder Bhowmik Zev Handel Jeffrey Todd Knight Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Asian Languages and Literature ©Copyright 2021 Christopher J Lowy University of Washington Abstract At the Intersection of Script and Literature: Writing as Aesthetic in Modern and Contemporary Japanese-language Literature Christopher J Lowy Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Edward Mack Department of Asian Languages and Literature This dissertation examines the dynamic relationship between written language and literary fiction in modern and contemporary Japanese-language literature. I analyze how script and narration come together to function as a site of expression, and how they connect to questions of visuality, textuality, and materiality. Informed by work from the field of textual humanities, my project brings together new philological approaches to visual aspects of text in literature written in the Japanese script. Because research in English on the visual textuality of Japanese-language literature is scant, my work serves as a fundamental first-step in creating a new area of critical interest by establishing key terms and a general theoretical framework from which to approach the topic. Chapter One establishes the scope of my project and the vocabulary necessary for an analysis of script relative to narrative content; Chapter Two looks at one author’s relationship with written language; and Chapters Three and Four apply the concepts explored in Chapter One to a variety of modern and contemporary literary texts where script plays a central role.

Heijdra The life of an area studies librarian is not always excitement. Yes, one enjoys informing bright graduate students of the latest scholarship, identifying Chi- nese rubbings of Egyptological stelae, or discussing publishing gaps in the cur- rent scholarship with knowledgeable editors; but it involves sometimes the mundane, such as reshelving a copy of a nineteenth-century Japanese transla- tion of a medical work by Johannes de Gorter.1 It was while performing the latter duty that I noticed something odd. The characters used to write Gorter were 我爾德兒, which indeed could be read as Gorter. That is, if read in modern Chinese; if read in the usual Sino-Japanese, it would be *Gajitokuji, something far from the Dutch pronunciation. A quick perusal of some scholars of rangaku 蘭學, “Dutch Studies,” revealed a general lack of awareness of this question, why a Dutch name in a nineteenth-century Japanese book would be read in modern Chinese. Prompted to write an article in honor of a Dutch editor of East and South Asian Studies, I decided to inves- tigate this more thoroughly. There are many aspects to consider, and I must confess that the final reason is hard to come by; but while I have not reached a final conclusion, I hope that in the future scholars will at least recognize the phenomenon when encountered.

  • Rules for Diplomatic Transcription (Honkoku 翻刻 ) 1. the Use of Hiragana (Phonetic Syllabary) and Kanji (Sinographic, Logogra
    Rules for diplomatic transcription (honkoku 翻刻) 1. The use of hiragana (phonetic syllabary) and kanji (sinographic, logographic characters) mirrors the original; the only difference is that the transcription employs a standard modernised script (one variant for each hiragana) and is not cursive. 2. Whenever possible, the transcribed text is presented in keeping with the layout of the original—in other words, respecting the absence of spacing between words or paragraphs. 3. The original is not punctuated and this is reflected in the transcription. 4. Dakuten (voicing marks) follow the original. 5. The diacritic mark is rendered with the hiragana より(yori). 6. The variants of the syllables mi, ha and ni (ミ・ハ・ニ) that appear like katakana (phonetic syllabary) forms are converted into hiragana (み・は・に). The only exception is when ni 二 is included in smaller font and on the right of the running text. In that case, it is transcribed in katakana ニ. 9. Mama (ママ) in furigana is used with the same meaning as [sic]. 10. Waka poems are occasionally introduced in the original with the diacritic mark 〽 and I have reproduced this accordingly. 11. Physical damage in the original text is indicated with □. If a reading is possible, it is indicated on the right in brackets followed by カ. Several considerations led to the choice of a diplomatic transcription over an edited edition (kōtei 校訂), which would have enhanced readability by substituting, for example, hiragana with kanji or by adding punctuation. First, the scholar of Japanese Studies untrained in early modern palaeography is able to enjoy the text in a format that attempts to approximate the original and to appreciate how the Japanese writing system was utilised to address a broad audience—children included—with minimal literacy skills (i.e.
