They focus their discussion on a group of painting masters loosely associated with the prestigious Kano painting atelier, Japan's de facto painting academy throughout the Tokugawa pe…

  • The Structure of Detachment: The Aesthetic Vision of Kuki Shuzo

    Kuki Shuzo, Hiroshi Nara et al.BOOKStructure of Detachment2017

    Published in 1930, when Japan was struggling to define and assert its national and cultural identity, The Structure of Iki (Iki no kôzô) re-introduced the Japanese to a sophisticated tradition of urbane and spirited stylishness (iki) that was forged in the Edo period. Upon his return from Europe, Kuki Shûzô (1888-1941) made use of the new theoretical frameworks based on Western Continental methodology to redefine the significance of iki in Japane…

  • Challenging Past and Present: The Metamorphosis of Nineteenth-Century Japanese Art

    Martin Collcutt, Doris Croissant et al.BOOKChallenging Past and Present2017

    The complex and coherent development of Japanese art during the course of the nineteenth century was inadvertently disrupted by a political event: the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Scholars of both the preceding Edo (1615–1868) and the succeeding Meiji (1868–1912) eras have shunned the decades bordering this arbitrary divide, thus creating an art-historical void that the former view as a period of waning technical and creative inventiveness and the …

Essays and translations focus on a series of major events from the Heike: Kiyomori's rise (the Giō cycle of plays); Yoshinaka's push to the capital; the flight of the Heike and the battle of Ichi-no-tani; and the aftermath of the war.

  • Metamorphosis from a Distance

    J Thomas RimerARTICLETheatre Journal2007Cited by: 1References: 1

    Metamorphosis from a Distance Thomas Rimer The particular language I work from is Japanese. Even languages closer to English—French, Spanish, and so forth—despite their affinities, still possess areas of expression that need some sort of domestication into English in order to prove themselves effective [End Page 366] when spoken on the stage. And how much more so is that true of a language such as Japanese, which, other than for some imported sla…

  • Old Taoist: The Life, Art, and Poetry of Kodojin (1865-1944)

    J Thomas Rimer, Stephen Addiss et al.BOOKOld Taoist2000

    In the literary and artistic milieu of early modern Japan the Chinese and Japanese arts flourished side by side. Kodojin, the "Old Taoist" (1865-1944), was the last of these great poet-painters in Japan. Under the support of various patrons, he composed a number of Taoist-influenced Chinese and Japanese poems and did lively and delightful ink paintings, continuing the tradition of the poet-sage who devotes himself to study of the ancients, lives …
