Abstract

Book twenty (20.4293-4516) of the Man'yo¯shu¯ comprises 224 poems (218 tanka , six cho¯ka ) with unspecified genres. From the social point of view this book is the most varied one, as it includes poems from empresses and princes, various strata of the nobility, down to the lowest border guard soldiers. Organized chronologically, book twenty is important for two important reasons. First, it contains many poems written in Eastern Old Japanese. Second, given the fact that many authors of the poems written in Western Old Japanese are well known historical and political figures of the mid-eighth century, it provides an interesting literary background to political struggles that were taking place at this time at the Nara court. Following book twenty the publication sequence will be as follows: book seventeen, book eighteen, book nineteen, book one, book nine, and then starting from book two in numerical order. A full rationale for the publication sequence can be found in book fifteen. Each volume of this new translation contains the original text, kana transliteration, romanization, glossing and commentary.

Abstract

This new translation, the lifework of the author, is fully academically oriented. Given that it is the largest Japanese poetic anthology and thus the most important compendium of Japanese culture of the Asuka period (AD 592–710) and most of the Nara period (AD 710–784), it is very much more than a work of literature, which has been the single focus of previous translations by Pierson and Suga.Thus, in this translation the author has sought to present the Man’yōshῡ to the reader preserving as far as possible the flavour, sounds and semantics of the original poems. The result is a more literate but true translation. In addition, because the realia of the Man’yōshῡ are mostly alien to both Westerners and modern Japanese, the text contains appropriate commentaries that illuminate the context. Also unique to this new version is the appearance of the original text, kana transliterations, romanization and glossing with morphemic analysis for the benefit of specialists and students of Old Japanese. The entire translation will consist of 20 volumes, paralleling the original twenty books. The first to be published is volume 15 (announced here) one of six books written mostly in phonographic script. The author argues that the importance of book 15 lies in the fact that it contains a large number of Western Old Japanese grammatical forms and constructions that are not attested in any other Western Old Japanese text, but are extremely important in understanding this language, thereby providing a valuable foundation for all the other Man’yōshῡ texts, including those written in semantographic text. The publication sequence and anticipated dates of the remaining volumes will be announced at a future date.

Abstract

Im Spätfrühling des Jahres 747 entwickelte sich zwischen dem krank darniederliegenden Präfekten tomo no Yakamochi (vermutlich 718 bis 785) und dem Beamten tomo no Ikenushi (gest. 757) eine kurzzeitige Korrespondenz mit Briefen und Gedichten. Die wie im alten China ebenfalls üblich in Versform abgefassten Prosatexte sowie zwei Gedichte sind chinesisch, die Kurzgedichte mit fünf Versen zu 5-7-5-7-7 Silben und die Langgedichte mit mehr als fünf Versen altjapanisch verfasst, aber alle Schriftzeichen stammen aus China. Der Austausch ist im siebzehnten Band des berühmten Manysh, der aus über 4500 Gedichten bestehenden "Sammlung Abertausender Blätter" enthalten, an der sich der Übergang von einer offiziellen-höfischen zu einer privat-lyrischen Sammlung beobachten lässt. Robert F. Wittkamp untersucht auf Grundlage des Brief- und Gedichtaustauschs zwischen den zwei japanischen Poeten die Beziehungen der altjapanischen zur chinesischen Literatur. Er fokussiert das Verfassen literarischer Texte und eröffnet Einblicke in die ostasiatische Kultur- und Geistesgeschichte. Bei den Werken aus China werden vor allem um die umfangreiche Literatursammlung Wen xuan betrachtet, die bereits in der altjapanischen Verfassung verankert und maßgeblich an der Entwicklung der japanischen Literatur beteiligt war, sowie die literaturtheoretische Abhandlung Wenxin diaolong, die eher im Hintergrund wirkte. Beide Werke stammen aus dem frühen sechsten Jahrhundert, einer für die chinesische Literaturgeschichte wichtigen Zeit und tragen bei zum Verständnis der altjapanischen Literatur. Wittkamps Untersuchung überschreitet Fachgrenzen: Sie richtet sich an eine Leserschaft mit Interesse sowohl am japanischen Altertum, an Kulturaustausch und Ostasien, an chinesischer und altjapanischer Dichtung, an ostasiatischer Literaturtheorie sowie an Geistesgeschichte, Texterzeugung und Schrift.--supplied by publisher.

Abstract

Buddhism comes in many forms, but in Japan it stands apart from all the rest in one striking way - the monks get married. This study addresses the emergence of an openly married clergy as a momentous change in the history of modern Japanese Buddhism.

Abstract

In the sixth month of 736, a Japanese diplomatic mission set out for the kingdom of Silla, on the Korean peninsula. The envoys undertook the mission during a period of strained relations with the country of their destination, met with adverse winds and disease during the voyage, and returned empty-handed. The futile journey proved fruitful in one respect: its literary representation- a collection of 145 Japanese poems and their Sino-Japanese (kanbun) headnotes and footnotes- made its way into the eighth-century poetic anthology Man'yoshu, becoming the longest poetic sequence in the collection and one of the earliest Japanese literary travel narratives. Featuring deft translations and incisive analysis, this study investigates the poetics and thematics of the Silla sequence, uncovering what is known about the actual historical event and the assumptions and concerns that guided its recreation as a literary artifact and then helped shape its reception among contemporary readers. H. Mack Horton provides an opportunity for literary archaeology of some of the most exciting dialectics in early Japanese literary history: between oral practice and the tentative beginnings of the written tradition, between religious ritual and literary art, between native and imported artistic systems, and between communal expression and the development of the individual literary consciousness. -- Book Jacket.

Abstract

In Man’yōshū and the Imperial Imagination in Early Japan , Torquil Duthie examines the literary representation of the late seventh-century Yamato court as a realm of 'all under heaven.” Through close readings of the early volumes of the poetic anthology Man’yōshū (c. eighth century) and the last volumes of the official history Nihon shoki (c. 720), Duthie shows how competing political interests and different styles of representation produced not a unified ideology, but rather a “bundle” of disparate imperial imaginaries collected around the figure of the imperial sovereign. Central to this process was the creation of a tradition of vernacular poetry in which Yamato courtiers could participate and recognize themselves as the cultured officials of the new imperial realm.
