Civilization Remapped in Chikamatsu Monzaemon's The Later Battles of Coxinga
This essay focuses on the early eighteenth-century Japanese puppet play, The Later Battles of Coxinga: a sequel to Chikamatsu Monzaemon's 近松門左衛門 (1653–1725) historical epoch that, like its predecessor, is based tenuously on the Manchu invasion of China and the efforts by the Japanese-born warrior Zheng Chenggong 鄭成功 (1624–1661) (aka Coxinga) to restore the Ming. Whereas in the original play Coxinga was a valiant and proactive participant in the q…
Translation, Colonization, and the Fall of Utopia
This study focuses on Meiji-period Japanese engagement with the late imperial Chinese novel Sequel to ‘The Water Margin’ (Shuihu houzhuan): an early Qing continuation of the classic Water Margin that focuses on the Liangshan outlaws’ colonization of a mythical “Siam” in the wake of the fall of the Northern Song dynasty. Like its parent work, Shuihu houzhuan found an enthusiastic readership beyond the borders of China. The novel was translated int…
Akutagawa Ryūnosuke's uncanny travels in Republican-era China
This study focuses on Akutagawa Ryūnosuke's Shina yūki (Travels in China): an account of a four-month journey through eastern, central, and northern China in the spring and summer of 1921. Due to Akutagawa's reputation as a writer and the account's vantage point on a transitional period in Japan's expansion abroad, Travels in China has traditionally enjoyed a prominent place in the canon of twentieth-century Japanese travel writing. What has rece…
Reclaiming the Margins
This article focuses on the literary criticism of the Edo-period scholar, Seita Tansō (1719–1785). Although a historian by vocation, Tansō additionally lectured extensively on the Chinese vernacular novel, Shuihu zhuan (Jp. Suikoden , En. The Water Margin ). While earlier generations of Chinese fiction aficionados in Japan had also discussed Shuihu zhuan , early eighteenth-century analysis was primarily limited to philological explication—a task …
Separating the Word and the Way
This study examines Edo-period interest in the Chinese vernacular novel Suikoden (Ch. Shuihu zhuan ). In 1757, Suyama Nantō, a classical scholar from Tosa, published Chūgi Suikodenkai , an annotated guide to the vocabulary of the novel. Although Nantō’s guide can be connected to a larger discourse on linguistic change established by the classical scholar Ogyū Sorai and his Chinese instructor, Okajima Kanzan, the text ultimately rejects their unde…
