Otomo-no-Yakamochi and Other Culture : His Diary Poems in Etchu(<Special Issue>Other Cultures and Japanese Literature)

All the poems of Otomo-no-Yakamochi from the seventeenth volume of Manyo-shu are dated and commonly called "uta-nikki" (diary poems). Interestingly enough, the poet started dating his poems after he was relegated to Etchu (the present-day Niigata area). Is there any relation between moving to the faraway place and the change of his poetical style? In the beginning part of the nineteenth volume, the poet minutely recorded things which went on during the first three days of March in 750 or the second year of the Tenpyo-Shoho Era. By so doing, he celebrated the third day March (a festival day called "Joshi-setsu") as the most beautiful moment in Etchu. As I will argue in this essay, it means Yakamochi respected local time with his poetical practice and thus recognized the specific culture of the region.

The two key concepts of current Japanese literature - "nation" and "literary imagination" - originally came from ideologies over literature and nation-states in nineteenth-century Europe. Those ideologies also have had a great influence on the studies (and categorization) of pre-modern Japanese literature. In this essay, I will place this process of making literature in the historical context and expose the ideological function of literary studies and canonization, especially its cultural and nationalistic significance in modern Japan. The point I would like to make here is to suggest how we can reconstruct "literature" from a more global perspective.

Did Atsushi Nakajima See Enoken? : The Cultural Background of Waga-saiyuki(<Special Issue>Other Cultures and Japanese Literature)

In January 1939 Atsushi Nakajima completed Gojo-tanni: Waga-saiyuki. A few months earlier, in October 1938, at the Nichigeki theater, Kenichi Enomoto alias Enoken, one of the most popular actors at that time, played the fabulous monkey Songoku in a comedy entitled "Enoken-no-Saiyuki." Was this a mere coincidence? In this essay, I will make clear a sort of interaction between the literary text and the comedy (although here I use its film version "Songoku" as a text). By so doing, I will also trace the cultural background in which Waga-saiyuki was written.

The post-war era of East Asia was a period of the post-colonial formation of the nation-states. The most radical moment of the change took place in 1965 when the Vietnam War became more serious. The war, which eventually triggered the cultural revolution in China, marked the end of peacetime. It also had a great impact on East-Asian literature and urged many writers to ask themselves the question "What are we the Asian?" Here I will historically consider how three contemporary writers - Fang-Sogyong of Korea who directly experienced the Vietnam War, Keizo Hino of Japan, and a Chinese writer of the Red Guard generation Gyong-Yee - responded to the critical situation.

In this essay I dare to read Kayako-no-tameni, a novel by Korean author Lee Kaisei, as a Japanese reader. For, from this standpoint, the reader will become more conscious of a cultural conflict between Japan and Korea and of the Japanese ethnocentrism against which Sanjuni made up his mind to become a Korean. With his split selves, eventually Sanjuni fails to establish a steady identity as a Korean. Such destabilization of self may have a threatening effect on the supposed unity in which the Japanese reader imagines his or her own self.

The Passage to the "South" : Reading Kenji Nakagami's Izoku(<Special Issue>Other Cultures and Japanese Literature)

There have been produced many tales about the "South" whose plot very often consists of transgression beyond boundaries and communications with others. In a sense, those narratives reflect each historical stage of the territorial expansion or loss of the nation. Directly or indirectly, they are involved in the ideology of the nation-state and the Emperor system. In short, the "South" tales, which Ichiro Tomiyama calls the narratives of "new community," have been always articulated in the context of actual politics. In this essay, I will place Kenji Nakagami's Izoku in that very literary tradition and read it as a "South" tale.

The Asymptotic Line between Japanese Language and Japanese Literature Educations : Against the "Unification" of Self and Its Image(<Special Issue>Other Cultures and Japanese Literature)

The more one learns Japanese language, the more seriously one must face the problem of what the "Japanese" are. In an extreme case, one may come to be uncertain of one's self. In other words, one is torn between one's own self and the self-image which is constructed through the "standard" language of Japanese language education. Wheras, in Japanese literature education, one is expected to "freely" express what one thinks and feels. There the censor is neither the education system nor teachers but the learner him- or herself. It is necessary to cultivate one's self for oneself and resist the standardized self-image.
