Liotta and Matteo Belfiore in my laboratory had launched a study on patterns and layering, I had a premonition of something new and unseen in preexisting research on Japan. Conventional research on Japan has been initiated out of deep affection for Japanese architecture and thus prone to wetness and sentimentality, distanced from the universal and lacking in potential breadth of architectural theories.

  • Western Influence on Japanese Art Song (Kakyoku) in the Meiji Era Japan
    WESTERN INFLUENCE ON JAPANESE ART SONG (KAKYOKU) IN THE MEIJI ERA JAPAN JOANNE COLE Master of Music Performance (by Research) Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts and Music The University of Melbourne December 2013 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music Performance (by Research) Produced on Archival Quality Paper Abstract The focus of this dissertation is the investigation of the earliest Western influences on Kōjō no Tsuki (Moon over the Castle) the composition of Japanese composer Rentaro Taki. Kōjō no Tsuki is an example of an early Japanese Art Song known as Kakyoku composed during Meiji Era Japan (1868 - 1912). The dissertation is divided into four chapters with an introduction. Chapter One explores the historical background of the Meiji Era Japan, highlighting the major impact of the signing of the treaty between the United States of America and Japan in 1853. This treaty effectively opened Japan to the West, not only for trade, but for exchange of social, political and cultural ideas. The resulting evolution that occurred in Japan from feudal society to one of early twentieth century is illustrated by reference to articles and writings of the Meiji Era. The second chapter examines the Japanese Art Song form Kakyoku using the example of Rentarō Taki’s song, Kōjō no Tsuki. This chapter presents an argument to illustrate, from an anthropological viewpoint, why this new form of Japanese Art Song could have its own identity based on Western ideas and not be categorised as a Japanese Folk Song known as Minʹyō or Shin Minyō.

  • From Text to Image in Japanese Art
    FROM TEXT TO IMAGE IN JAPANESE ART Course: 01:565:483 “From Text to Image in Japanese Art” Rutgers University, Spring 2017 Lecture: MTh2 (9:50-11:10) AB1100 Instructor: Haruko Wakabayashi [email protected] Office Hours: Scott Hall Rm 325, TH 11:30 – 1:00 or by appointment Catalogue Description: Explores the profound influence of classical literature on the arts of Japan, especially painting. Analysis of the historical and literary meaning of the literary works; investigation of the fusion of text and image. Course Description: This interdisciplinary course explores the profound influence of classical literature on the arts of Japan. During a thousand years, from the Heian to Tokugawa periods (794-1868), artists transformed into visual images both the emotions and the events described in the myths, legends, poetry, courtly novels, and war chronicles. Literary works were adapted to different formats—handscrolls, hanging scrolls, screens, and prints—as they became an integral, indivisible aspect of the arts that expressed the aesthetic of different social groups— aristocrats, shoguns, and urban bourgeoisie. We will read widely across many different genres of classical literature and their visual representations, and investigate how the fusion of text and image created unique masterpieces of Japanese art. The course is constituted of three modules: (1) Spreading Faith: Miraculous Tales of Buddhist and Shinto Gods (2) Courtly Elegance: Literary Traditions from the Classical Age (3) Warrior Heroes: Tales of Battles and Demon-Quelling Adventures Graduate students will be assigned extra reading (typically a scholarly journal article or book chapter) and a final research paper. Requirements: (1) Each week will consist of a lecture and a discussion session.

  • A Pure Invention: Japan, Impressionism, and the West, 1853-1906
    A Pure Invention: Japan, Impressionism, and the West, 1853-1906 Amir Abou-Jaoude Senior Division, Historical Paper 2,494 words Introduction The playwright and poet Oscar Wilde traveled little outside of Europe, yet he felt as if he had journeyed to Japan. In 1891, he wrote that after careful examination of the woodblock prints of artists like Hiroshige and Hokusai, you could “sit in the park or stroll down Piccadilly, and if you cannot see an absolutely Japanese effect there, you will not see it anywhere”1—not even, Wilde proclaimed, in Tokyo itself. Forty years earlier, in 1851, Westerners had known little about the floating kingdom. Since the early 17th-century, Japan had been completely isolated from the West, save for a few Dutch traders who conducted business around Nagasaki. Then, in 1853, the American Commodore Matthew Perry forced Japan to trade with the West under threat of naval bombardment. Kimonos, fans, and especially woodblock prints by the great Japanese artists flooded European markets. These Japanese goods had a particularly profound impact on the arts. Debussy was inspired to write La mer (1905), his most groundbreaking and influential piece, after seeing Katsushika Hokusai’s print of Under the Wave off Kanagawa.2 The Soviet film director Sergei Eisenstein would turn to Japanese art as he was composing powerful cinematic images.3 Eventually, the image of the “Great Wave”4 that Debussy admired would become a symbol of all things Japan.5 The “Japanese effect” was most prominent in art. As Japanese art entered European salons, French artists were beginning to experiment with Impressionism.

  • CBCS 059 YAMADORI (Collected Near Bass Lake in 1972)
    PEDESTAL 1 CBCS 059 YAMADORI (Collected near Bass Lake in 1972) Artist/ Maker: Howard Latimer Common name: Interior Live Oak Botanical Name: Quercus wislizeni Date Acquired: April 30, 2019 Age: Est. 100 years In training since 1972 Evergreen: Style: Han-kengai/Semi-cascade The semi-cascade style, just like the cascade style, is found in nature on cliffs and on the banks of rivers and lakes. The trunk grows upright for a small distance and then bends downwards/sidewards. Unlike the cascade style, the semi- cascade trunk will never grow below the bottom of the pot. The crown is usually above the rim of the pot while subsequent branching occurs below the rim. Donor: Howard Latimer PEDESTAL 2 1997 GSBF Magazine CBCS 2019 New pot 2021 CBCS 082 LEGACY COLLECTION Bonsai within the Collection created by Japanese immigrants and/or Japanese Americans and maintained in the style of the original artist in so far as that is possible to provide an historical spectrum in keeping with the mission of a bonsai museum. YAMADORI: literally means “collecting plants in the mountains” but is loosely translated into gathering plants from the wild. The found plant specimen is then carefully and skillfully trained into works of art also known as Bonsai. Yamadori is the most coveted type of Bonsai because of its unique characteristics.
