Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Japanese Literature Writers on European literatures are entitled to take for granted, on the part of their readers, a previous acquaintance with the leading facts of the political and religious history of the country with which they are dealing. In the case of Japan, however, it has been thought not superfluous to add a few data of this kind without a knowledge of which it is impossible to under stand the course of the literary development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of Japanese Literature provides, for the first time, a history of Japanese literature with comprehensive coverage of the premodern and modern eras in a single volume. The book is arranged topically in a series of short, accessible chapters for easy access and reference, giving insight into both canonical texts and many lesser known, popular genres, from centuries-old folk literature to the detective fiction of modern times. The various period introductions provide an overview of recurrent issues that span many decades, if not centuries. The book also places Japanese literature in a wider East Asian tradition of Sinitic writing and provides comprehensive coverage of women's literature as well as new popular literary forms, including manga (comic books). An extensive bibliography of works in English enables readers to continue to explore this rich tradition through translations and secondary reading.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of Japan Europeans and Americans, however, have failed as yet to appreciate the essential worth of Japan's civilisation. Some foreigners, it is true, speak highly of Japanese fine art, praising Japan as a country devoted to art; but the works that they admire are not always essentially character istic of Japan, nor are they representative works of Japanese fine arts. The number of foreigners aware of the existence of an influential literature in Japan is extremely limited.

Download or read book The Story of Japan (Classic Reprint) written by R. Van Bergen and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Japan Our nearest neighbor across the Pacific has been reckoned among the foremost nations of the earth ever since, in the late war with China, she humiliated that vast but inert empire. Japan will have a voice in the future destiny of Asiatic countries, and in that of the islands of the Pacific. Our schoolbooks on geography and general history touch but lightly upon the Japanese Empire, and it is for the purpose of enabling children to obtain a correct idea of the people, and of the impulses leading to the rapid progress of the past quarter of a century, that "The Story of Japan" has been written. It was deemed essential to explain repeatedly the key to the history of Japan and to the reforms of our time, by noticing the overpowering influence of the samurai of old, who were and still are the makers of the nation. With a very few exceptions, the nobles of Japan have been wholly dependent upon their leading samurai, who, in turn, have been influenced by the ablest of their peers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan of the Japanese While the present volume is primarily intended for those whose knowledge of Japan is limited, or has still to be acquired, I hope that the most esoteric readers will find in it something that they did not know before. It is far from exhaustive, even of the elements of the subjects of which it treats, still moie so of the number which merited treatment. Its limits of space were prescribed, and chapters on Religion, Foreign and Domestic Politics, Colonial Expansion and Administration, the changes in the Economic and Social conditions Of life that have followed on the last war and are incidental to growing wealth and strength, and on the progress already made towards the attainment Of the Hegemony of the Pacific, have been necessarily excluded in favour of those which seem more likely to appeal to popular taste and requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brown Face and White: A Story of Japan A man's voice, deep and sonorous, called in the exquisite twilight of a Japanese summer evening. And the faint echo which came back from the rocky hill-side bounding the Mission House garden on its eastern side answered, Eileen! Eileen! Over the hill-crest, on the steep sides of which, here and there, beeches, larches, pines, camphor trees, and maples grew, the last rays of the setting sun had streamed in a golden and crimson glory but a very short time before; for dusky twilight follows sunset very rapidly, and the stars in the Japanese sky creep out less stealthily than with us.

Book Synopsis Origins of Modern Japanese Literature by : Kōjin Karatani
Download or read book Origins of Modern Japanese Literature written by Kōjin Karatani and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karatani Kojin is one of Japan's leading critics. In his work as a theoretician, he has described Modernity as have few others; he has re-evaluated the literature of the entire Meiji period and beyond. As one critic has said, Karatani's thought "has had a profound effect on the way we formulate the questions we ask about modern literature and culture ... [his] argument is compelling, moving even, and in the end the reader comes away with a different understanding not only of modern Japanese literature but of modern Japan itself." Among the many authors discussed are Soseki Natsume, Doppo Kunikida, Katai Tayama, and Shoyo Tsubouchi.

Book Synopsis History of Japanese Education (Classic Reprint) by : Japan; Monbusho
Download or read book History of Japanese Education (Classic Reprint) written by Japan; Monbusho and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Japanese Education Anyone who wishes to understand the source and foundation of the civilization of a nation, can not do better than examine the past history and the present condition of its educational system. Therefore in the international exhibitions held in various countries, a space has generally been alloted for educational exhibits alongside of the varied products of trade and industry. Special attention has been paid to this matter in the preparations for the forthcoming Japan-British Exhibition, where the exhibits relating to education will occupy a comparatively large space; and the pleasant duty of furnishing this section of exhibition was entrusted solely to our Department of Education. The Department accordingly directed several of the schools under its jurisdiction to send in exhibits that would illustrate the special character of the education peculiar to each. The Department furthermore decided to exhibit by itself such books, pictures, etc., as should give a general idea of the past history of education in Japan, as well as of the condition of education as a whole at the present time. This short work, the "History of Japanese Education," is also one of the exhibits of the Department. Masakuni Shiraishi, one of the professors of the Peers' School, was specially appointed to prepare this compilation, but the limited time allowed him did not permit of his going much into details. Notwithstanding this, it is hoped that the clear and systematic presentation of the educational history of Japan to be found in these pages will leave on the mind of the reader at least a fair outline of the subject.
