Oda Nobuna No Yabou 1 Chapter 1: Become the Saru(monkey) of Nobuna! Sagara Yoshiharu, second year high school student, was panicking. By the time he realized it, for some reason he was standing right in the middle of a battlefield during the Warring States period. "Wait. Why is this happening? Where am I?" The sound of horse hooves roaring! The sound of guns roaring! The desperate shouts of foot soldiers with long spears. No matter how you look at it, this was the Warring States period. The location can be found out later but it's in the Nobi Plains. "Woah, amazing! It's even more intense than the movie "The Seven Samurai!" But this wasn't the time to be excited. Yoshiharu, who had suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield wearing his school uniform, was wrongly identified as "A new enemy" by the foot soldiers of both sides resulting in them thrusting their spears towards him. "Oh. Woah. Wai. Wait. I said wait!" Lightly, lightly, quickly, quickly. Dodging from the left, dodging from the right, while avoiding the thrusts from the long spears, Yoshiharu ran towards the thick woods. Yoshiharu had received the nickname of "Ball avoiding Yoshi" in his dodgeball class and was good at running away. His height, weight and athletic abilities were average but his ability to dodge the balls thrown at him was exceptional from a young age. By the way, while he's good at avoiding the balls that come flying at him unfortunately he's bad at hitting his opponent with the ball so he wasn't invited to join the dodgeball club. "Restless bastard, I'll turn you into dengaku on sticks!" (T/N: Tofu etc. are grilled on skewers on flame and served with miso) "I am telling you guys to stop!" Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Simultaneously, five spears were thrust towards him! "Wooooooooooo?" Instinctively he bent backwards with evasive movements seen in The Matrix (present time)! The area around his waist let out a slight cracking sound. "Amazing! He's like a monkey!" "I'm trying to tell you that I have nothing to do with this! Your enemies are on that side!" Shouldering his bag, he once more ran up the hill's slope. "Hahaha. What a realistic lucid dream. Woah, there's blood coming from my cheek." "Wait~!" While running, Yoshiharu thought. This isn't even worth stating, but it's a dream. A dream. A dream. It's a dream. I can only remember up till the way home from school, but what probably happened after that was that I had gone into my room and started playing "Lord Oda Nobunaga's Ambition" when I must have drifted off to sleep mid way. That's why I am probably viewing this Warring States place in my dream. However, unlike in "Lord Oda Nobunaga's Ambition", you cannot do the super certain kill technique of making small fry foot soldiers fly away in this dream. Just like in the dodgeball of reality, all I can do is continue to barely avoid the enemy attacks, huh. Yoshiharu thought this was a pretty realistic dream. "A bit more and I can hide within the woods!" He was naïve. Whoosh. Whoosh. From inside those woods, this time arrows came flying through. 5, 10, 20. The arrowhead was made of metal, so he would be instantly killed if it pierced his chest. More like, no matter where it pierced his body, it seemed like it would be really painful. "You serious? Woaaaaaah!?!?" This was the first time that his life was in danger since he was born. He can't think of it as a dream. Even if it's a dream, if he gets hit by even one arrow, then without doubt he'll faint in agony. In the usually careless head of Yoshiharu, this time, his adrenalin was in full throttle. Lightly Lightly Now Jump! One after another, he is avoiding all the arrows fired towards him by a hair's breadth. During that time, in some part of his body, his joints were screaming but he ignored it. "Look! The technique of the God of Ball Avoiding!" At the same as having been thrown into this Warring States place, for some reason Yoshiharu who was good at dodging balls since childhood found that his body coincidentally showed the best adaptability. Even though that is said, he more or less seemed like he would leak in his pants. "He really is a monkey!" "I can't hit him!" The archers who said that came flying from inside the woods and raced down the slope of the hill, trying to surround Yoshiharu and take his head. "Why are you only targeting me?" Yoshiharu did a U turn in the middle of the hill. Uooooooooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaaaaah, while giving out a scream that didn't make any coherent words, this time he runs downwards east towards the river bank. Since the archers were clad in armor and helmets, they couldn't catch up to the light bodied Yoshiharu. "For you to show your back to the enemy, what a coward." "That's why I said I am not an enemy! I am a normal citizen!" If I pass through this river, I should be able to get away from the battlefield-----. Splash splash splash Running inside the river and pushing against the current, he reached the other bank. He murmured, once humans become aware of death, amazing stamina boils forth. However, on the other bank it wasn't outside the battlefield or anything like it but instead was a stronghold where armor clad warriors who seemed to be of a higher social status were assembled. Beneath the curtain, he met the general sitting elegantly on a chair. "Whaaaaaaaat????" The banner had two lines in the circle. The great feudal Lord of Suruga. This banner represents the strongest power of Tokaido region, Imagawa Yoshimoto, realized Yoshiharu. "It can't be, this place is Imagawa Yoshimoto's headquarters?" However, he immediately realized his mistake. The general who should be Imagawa Yoshimoto was for some reason a girl. Not to mention, her big eyes were glittering, she was quite a bishojo. "Ara. Who are you? You're wearing a strange armor." As expected of Imagawa Yoshimoto with a magnificent and elegant noble's hobby. Even though it's the battlefield, she's wearing 12 layers of clothing. It feels that she's completely in the middle of proceeding to the capital. Is what Yoshiharu thought. Aah. Because I played Warring States games too much, I am seeing a dream of Imagawa Yoshimoto having changed to a female military commander, huh. Well, maybe because a lot of military commanders are shown as girls. In the recent Warring States games. In that case, this is the first choice! Yoshiharu bows down to Imagawa Yoshimoto's feet and instantly shouted. "Please make me your vassal!" "No!" "An immediate reply?" "Why should I, the great Feudal Lord of the historical Imagawa house, employ a suspicious person like you? Motoyasu-san, finish him!" "Understood~" Immediately, an armor clad warrior protecting the headquarters came rushing forth, and drew a katana. It was a somewhat short built, glasses child commander who looked like she was misfortunate. Motoyasu-san…..which means, Matsudaira Motoyasu, the Tokugawa Ieyasu of later? Yoshiharu doubted his eyes. Tokugawa Ieyasu. The big raccoon who would one day consolidate Japan, the super famous scheming commander. However, the one calling himself as Matsudaira Motoyasu in this era was still supposed to be working as an errand boy for Imagawa Yoshimoto. Now that you mention it, this child somewhat looks like a little raccoon…… (This place may be a meeting place for cosplay historic girls.) However, he doesn't have time to look at 'Cute Matsudaira Motoyasu'. Glare Towards the nape of his neck, a sword was coming down. "By the orders of Yoshimoto-sama, I will have your neck~" "Wait, Motoyasu, wait wait! I am saying that I am not your enemy!" "I am Yoshimoto-sama's servant due to a reason~. Allow me to earn some points~" Swoosh!!! "Oh?" He panics. Just barely, he avoids it, a serious matrix avoid. That's dangerous, I was about to piss myself, is what Yoshiharu's heart is screaming. "Ara~? Yoshimoto-sama~ He dodged it~" "This body movement, there's no doubt that it's a wild wave (Ninja) the Oda set free! Draw out 2, 3 swords and finish him!" "Yes~" It's no good, it's impossible to work for Imagawa Yoshimoto is what Yoshiharu resigned himself to. He once again came back to the river bank. "Awawa. Please wai~t. I will be scolded by Yoshimoto-sama~" While swaying about the katana, Matsudaira Motoyasu shouted that in a cute voice. I have to shake her off. However, unexpectedly Motoyasu's feet are fast, and it felt like he would be caught by the time he crosses the river. "It's time for your neck to fall~" "Dammit, I don't want this sort of bad end! Isn't there a weapon, weapon…" Yoshiharu strengthened his resolve and turned to face Matsudaira Motoyasu. I am reluctant to fight a cute girl but------ If I am going to be taken down with one stroke like this then it's better to fight and die! Even if this is not a dream but reality! He tried to snatch a spear from the arm of a foot soldier who had collapsed nearby. However, the foot soldier must have already died. Since the finger is stiffened, he couldn't remove the spear.

Throughout the Edo period (1603-1868), works of fiction were liberally illustrated with woodblock printed images, which, especially towards the mid-19th century, had become an essential component of most popular literature in Japan. With the opening of Japan’s borders in the Meiji period (1868-1912), writers who had grown up reading illustrated fiction were exposed to foreign works of literature that largely eschewed the use of illustration as a medium for storytelling, in turn leading them to reevaluate the role of image in their own literary tradition. As authors endeavored to produce a purely text-based form of fiction, modeled in part on the European novel, they began to reject the inclusion of images in their own work.

The entire process was at risk of being aborted, which could have resulted in the country lapsing back into the state of civil war and anarchy in which it had lived for more than a century.4 However, an individual by the name of Tokugawa Ieyasu 徳川家康 (1543-1616) 5 shrewdly took advantage of the hesitation shown by many of his rivals and the military weakness or lack of strategic vision on the part of others to take control of the Japanese Empire, which would remain in the hands of his family for more than 250 years.

  • Causes of Daimyo Survn Al in Sixteenth
    THE LAST MAN STANDING: CAUSES OF DAIMYO SURVNAL IN SIXTEENTH CENTURY JAPAN A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAW AI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN mSTORY MAY 2008 By John E. Bender Thesis Committee: William Wayne Farris, Chairperson Mark McNally Edward Davis ii We certify that we have read this thesis and that, in our opinion, it is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts in History. THESIS COMMITTEE VIIJ)Vl ~ ~rperson iii ABSTRACT The Warring States period is often characterized as random and chaotic - an incomprehensible series of battles from which a victor finally emerged. While there was a degree of unpredictability in Warring States conflict, this thesis argues that the period followed a fundamentally comprehensible course. Emphasizing the chaos of battle obscures underlying factors which set the course of Warring States conflict, politics, and economics. By systematically examining geographic, political, economic, and military factors it can be shown that the Warring States period proceeded more logically than has been assumed. This research identifies patterns in Warring States Japan and seeks to answer the question, "why did some daimyo survive while others did not" I argue that survival during the Warring States period was more heavily influenced by geographic and political factors than by military and economic factors. Though touted as powerful warlords who controlled their own destiny, in reality, factors largely beyond the daimyo's control were most responsible for his survival or e1imination. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ..................................................................................................i List of Tables .........................................................................................

    FACULTAT DE GEOGRAFIA I HISTÒRIA MASTER D’ESTUDIS AVANÇATS EN HISTÒRIA DE L’ART CURSO 2013-2014 La pintura japonesa contemporánea Neo-Nihonga como objeto vehicular de una identidad propia. Abigail Tarrasó Ballesteros Trabajo de fin de máster Tutora: Dra. Laia Manonelles Septiembre 2014 Resumen/Abstract La presente investigación analiza el Neo-Nihonga –estilo de pintura contemporánea japonesa- a través de las manifestaciones artísticas de su propio creador, Tenmyouya Hisashi. El objetivo es determinar cuál es la implicación de discursos como el auto- orientalismo o el auto-japonismo en el propio estilo con la finalidad de definir una identidad propiamente japonesa con el propósito de alanzar el éxito fuera de las fronteras japonesas. Para ello, se estudia la trayectoria artística de Tenmyouya, los modelos que toma como referencia para sus creaciones, así como el contexto en el que este estilo, el Neo-Nihonga, se desarrolla. Mediante los conceptos y teorías analizados en el marco teórico (auto-orientalismo, glocalización, globalización, cultura japonesa, japonismo, identidad japonesa (Nihonjinron)…) se pretende aportar luz a las hipótesis que vinculan a este estilo con discursos vinculados al gusto por “lo japonés” y que, a priori, parecen tener pretensiones mercantilistas. Palabras clave: auto-orientalismo, auto-japonismo, glocalización, globalización, cultura japonesa, japonismo, identidad japonesa. --- The present research analyses Neo-Nihonga – a contemporary Japanese painting style- through the artworks of his creator, Tenmyouya Hisashi, in order to determine the degree of involvement of discourses liken the self-orientalism or self-japonisme in the style itself with the purpose of defining a truly Japanese identity whose aspiration is to be successful outside the Japanese borders.
