Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access book includes forty-one chapters about foreign observers' discourses on Japan. These include a wide range of perspectives from the travelogues of curious visitors to academic theses by scholars, which offer us a broad spectrum of contents, reflecting a variety of attitudes toward Japan. The works were written during the period from the 1850s to the 1980s, a timespan during which Japan became, in stages, more open to the outside world after a long isolation under the Tokugawa shogunate. From the perspective of 'Japanology,' one can discern three distinct periods of rising interest in the country from abroad. The firsttide of such interest came shortly after the opening of Japan, when various foreign travelers, including those who could not be included in this book, came over and wrote down their impressions of the country-which was, for them, a land of mystery and mystique, which had just opened its doors to them. The second wave arose at the beginning of the twentieth century, just after the Russo-Japanese War, when Japan again generated a remarkable surge of interest as a 'miracle' in Asia that had pulled off the wondrous feat of defeating a white superpower. The third wave was more recent, which took place from the late 1960s to the 1980s, a period of high economic growth when the 'miracle' of Japan's remarkable economic recovery from the defeat of World War II attracted enthusiastic and curious attention from the outside world once again. It is not the intention of this book to directly highlight such historical transitions, but these forty-two brilliant mirrors (forty-one chapters, including forty-two discourses), even when looked in casually, provide us with unexpected insights and various perspectives. Sh ichi Saeki (1922-2016) was Professor Emeritus, the University of Tokyo. T ru Haga (1931-2020) was Professor Emeritus, International Research Center for Japanese Studies.…

Flexible boards. Zustand: Very Good+. Unstated edition. (flexible boards) [modest external wear, a bit of light pencil underlining and annotation, mostly in the first two scenes]. (Gold Series) Series (author photo frontispiece, stage diagram) Uncommon edition of Williams's first major success, his autobiographical "memory play," which was a Broadway hit (following its initial production in Chicago) and received the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best American Play of the 1944-1945 season. This particular edition, although printed in Japan "by arrangement with the author's agent through Mr. G. Thomas Folster," is almost entirely in English, including the full text of the play itself, apart from a four-page introduction in Japanese. The most interesting material, following five pages of "Production Notes" (signed "T.W.," so presumably carried over from some earlier edition), is an extensive glossary of the many unusual English words and colloquial expressions used in the play, along with their Japanese translations or equivalents. (One can easily imagine a Japanese reader struggling with the meanings of phrases like "set her cap for," "gone up the spout," or "cutting a rug.").…

8°. 276, (2) p. with a portrait. Publisher's cloth with an illustrated dust jacket and belly band (obi). First edition of the important biography of Mishima Yukio (19251970), arguably the most representative and influential writer of post-war Japanese literature. - The eminent literary critic Shoichi Saeki (19222016) followed Mishima's career at close quarters for a time. His biography, published in 1978, is regarded in Japan as the definitive work, as it offers a profound and analytical insight into Mishima's literary genius and complex psyche, looking beyond the political scandals. - Mishima, who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature on several occasions (1963, 1964, 1965, 1967 and 1968), wrote novels, screenplays, plays, short stories, poems and a libretto. In the 1960s, Mishima appeared in a series of sensational samurai and yakuza films. In 1960, he played the lead role in Yasuzo Masumura's gangster film *Afraid to Die*. He also appeared in the films *Patriotism* (1966), *Black Lizard* (1968, directed by Kinji Fukasaku) and *Hitokiri* (1969, directed by Hideo Gosha). He wrote and sang the theme song for *Afraid to Die* himself. Moshima also posed for photo books featuring homoerotic semi-nude images of himself. Among other things, he modelled for the book *Bara-kei* by the photographer Eiko Hosoe and the book series *Young Samurai: Bodybuilders of Japan* by the photographer Tamotsu Yato, who is best known for his homoerotic black-and-white photographs. The American film critic Donald Richie witnessed the creation of one of Mishima's most famous portraits: he posed in the snow, clad in a loincloth and holding a sword. His avant-garde works are characterised by a wide-ranging vocabulary, multi-layered metaphors, the fusion of traditional Japanese and modern Western literature, and his obsession with the unity of beauty, eroticism and death. In honour of his life's work, the Mishima Prize was established in 1988 and has been awarded annually ever since. A very fine copy.…
