The "Nara Period" of Kokin-waka-shu-kanajo

In Kokin-waka-shiu-kanajo, Kino-Tsurayuki says that in the "Nara Period" Manyo-shu was compiled. In the light of the birth date of Kakinomoto-no-Hitomaro, the period of editorial work recorded in Manyo-shu, and other data, his claim seems to be historically wrong. But it is very likely that not unwittingly but deliberately Kino committed such apparent anachronism. In other words, to him and to the poets of the early Heian Period, the "Nara Period" meant not a specific time but "good old days," an ideal moment that they longed for and turned to as the standard by which they could measure their age.

The first volume of Hasedera-genki, in which lots of "contemporary fables" are collected, is a first-rate material for the study of the medieval Hase-dera Temple. For, in the fables, the religious activities performed in the temple at that time are described in detail. The aim of this paper is to examine both the "tenjin" legend of Sugawara-no-Michizane and the making of fables of the age in general by focusing on the first half of the eleventh fable about Michizane's deification.

Sketches and the Function of Memory : Torahiko Terada's Method of Writing Novels

Writing a novel is essentially different from making a sketch. But Torahiko Terada saw no difference between them. For, he believed, the simple act of sketching what he saw as it was could reveal something beyond the control of the author-subject. To him a novel meant nothing more than a method of recording the subject's unconscious-like aspect discovered in the process and arranging it into narrative sequences.

The Philosophy of Art as Religion : Yoshiro Nagayo's Seido-no-Kirisuto and the Change of Artistic Trend during the Taisho Period

The hero of Seido-no-Kirisuto, a novel by Yoshiro Nagayo, is an artist who seeks truth in art like an enthusiastic religionist. In a sense, the figure of the artist represents the philosophy of art as religion, an artistic trend dominant in the literary circle of the early Taisho Period which Nagayo himself belonged to. But the hero's death at the end of the story implies the decline of the trend in the late Taisho Period when the independence of art had become increasingly more difficult in the shadow of imperialism.

Akiyuki Nosaka's Hotaru-no-haka and Isao Takahata's Hotaru-no-haka

What are relations, interactions, and differences between novels and animations? To consider this question, here I will compare Hotaru-no-haka, a novel by Akiyuki Nosaka, with its animated version by Isao Takahara. As is seen in the pop cover of the paperback edition, the strategy of mixed media in the promotion of the animation has helped to make a new, strange image of the original work. Due to the animation's ritual appearance on TV every summer, the story also has come to be regarded as the "tale of August." More seriously, in the process of translating the original into animation, the ambiguities or "noises" of the novel were completely erased. Ultimately, as will be shown in this paper, the animation misrepresents not only the writer's but also the animator's intention.
