Book Description
Yoshiya Nobuko, born on Januay 12, 29 Meiji, 1896, in Nīgata and died on July 11, 48 Shōwa, 1973, in Kamakura at the age of 78, is a Japanese female novelist active from the 1920s to the early 1970s. She, in her lesbian sexual orientation and from her experience of the same-sex relationship with Monma Chiyo for over 50 years, depicted schoolgirls' friendship, which was not identical with but emotionally very close to the same-sex orientation. In 14 Taishō, 1925, she began the magazine entitled as "Kuro'Shōbi (Black Rose)" although she discontinued it in eight months. Girl subscribers of her magazine and girl fans of her novels dreamed of the modest, fair, and graceful life style and girls' friendship as written in her novels. "FORGET ME NOT" was serialized in the girls' magazine, "Shōjo'no Tomo" which literally means girls' friend, in issues from April to December in 7 Shōwa, 1932. While reading this novel, you will clearly see what the Japanese schoolgirls looked like in the early 1930s, and also the human tradition in a household and in the society at that time, along with the ideal male personalities for the author. Japanese schoolgirls' friendship and mutual confidence survived WW II. There still something traditional remains in their innermost feelings. Enjoy !

Book Description
The amazing system of licensed pleasure palaces in Yoshiwara is described precisely. Physical and mental changes of children were conspicuous and understandable to grownups but sorrowful enigmas for the children themselves. Japan's literary masters and critics praised this novel as Ichiyo's masterpiece. Enjoy! The storyline of the novel, 'Turbid Bay,' runs in July in summer in touch with a downright stalker-murderer, the victim, and their background stories. A bitter remorse left behind. A 20-year-old stylish seamstress seemingly came from a good family. Once she said, “My heart burns with anger very often.” A 16-year-old employee of an umbrella shop was a foundling. One day, he wondered, “Whether I was born from a crotch of a tree.” Their relationship was over, all too soon. Okyo decided to live a better life, as a concubine. Japanese readers are moved by Kichizo's final remark. “Okyo'san, please take your hands off my shoulder.” The wealthy madam, beautiful, innocent, and lonesome, was in the center of turbulence of jealousy and infidelity. When she realized that she was blocked in every direction, everything had been arranged carefully against her. Who did it first? Amazing stories so far untold are shown with a map of Yoshiwara to overseas readers. In Appendix 1. Yoshiwara of the Edo period is described. A fantastic world of Japanese culture and tradition was a collaboration of men as wealthy customers and women as the oiran and yujo in licensed pleasure palaces. In Appendix 2, how to make the waka poetry is talked about. Enjoy! It would be fun just to read the Japanese vocabularies and meanings. The portrait of Higuchi Ichiyo has appeared as the icon of the Japanese 5,000 yen banknote since the autumn of 2004.

Book Description
The postwar Japanese strived, unsteadily as if about to fall, to live everyday lives and to restore Japan, while suffering from the survivor's guilt. The early postwar novels of Hayashi Fumiko. Three novels of Hayashi Fumiko translated here are related to the early postwar period in Japan. Late Chrysanthemum - Ban'Giku "Late Chrysanthemum" is an ex-geisha's one night story after the war. The main character Kin had a strong will to survive. An ex-geisha had a visitor, who was her ex-lover sometime in the prewar years and desperately needed money. He intrigued to get money from his ex., even by slaughter. How did the ex-geisha rid out of the crisis? Her quick wit worked, which suggests us how to manage a risk in a daily life. In November 1948, 23 Showa, "Late Chrysanthemum" appeared in an extra issue of a literary magazine, the Bungei'Shunju. This is the most important work of Hayashi Fumiko, which is praised for its highly qualified perfection and elaborate description. Downtown - Shita'machi "Downtown" is a two week story of a female peddler and an ex-soldier after the war. Their relationship finished all of sudden. "Downtown" appeared in April 1949, 24 Showa in an extra issue of a literary magazine, Shosetsu'Shincho. The literary magazine has been published monthly since September 1947 from The Shinchosha Publishing Co, Ltd. which was founded in 1896. Floating clouds - Uki'gumo "Floating Clouds" is mainly a five year story. The storyline, however, extends from 1939 in Japan, during the years since 1943 in French Indochina, and the postwar period in 1945 to 1949 in Japan. The author describes changes in people's feelings after the war, while following the trajectories of men and women before and after the war. This novel can be seen as Hayashi Fumiko's compilation. "Floating clouds" is compiled in a book and published in April 1951, 26 Showa, which is considered to be the last novel of Hayashi Fumiko. The author died suddenly of heart attack at home at about 11:00 pm, June 28 in 1951, 26 Showa, at the age of 48. Enjoy!

Book Description
A girl on the book cover looks like Amenouzume who danced to lure the Sun Goddess Amaterasu out of the heavenly rock. Through three stories by Mei Yumi, the author's concept is clear: Don't be greedy, control our desire a bit more, and save our precious planet, the Earth. A BOUNCE TO THE SKY ― A woman ruined their marriage and life. BAMBOO FLUTE ― Indonesian nurses in Japan. Do you remember two years without a summer in Europe after Mount Tambora erupted in 1815 ? TOKYO MARATHON ― In a sudden whiteout, Japan disappeared.

It appears in the invisible world. It is that silent, small force. It is that still small voice that calls up the fairies." George W. Carver"The tonttu's trace is small, it does not show up just about anywhere. Quiet and weightless, the tonttu walks down the road, you can hear it in your heart." Anne Pajuluoma

Book Description
Exporting Japanese Aesthetics brings together historical and contemporary case studies addressing the evolution of international impacts and influences of Japanese culture and aesthetics. The volume draws on a wide range of examples from a multidisciplinary team of scholars exploring transnational, regional and global contexts. Studies include the impact of traditional Japanese theatre and art through to the global popularity of contemporary anime and manga. Under the banner of soft power or Cool Japan, cultural commodities that originate in Japan have manifested new meanings outside Japan. By (re)mapping meanings of selected Japanese cultural forms, this volume offers an in-depth examination of how various aspects of Japanese aesthetics have evolved as exportable commodities, the motivations behind this diffusion, and the extent to which the process of diffusion has been the result of strategic planning. Each chapter presents a case study that explores perspectives that situate Japanese aesthetics within a wide-ranging field of inquiry including performance, tourism, and visual arts, as well as providing historical contexts. The importance of interrogating the export of Japanese aesthetics is validated at the highest levels of government, which formed the Office of Cool Japan in 2010, and which perhaps originated in the 19th century at governmentally endorsed cultural courts at world fairs. Increased international consumption of contemporary Japanese culture provides a much needed boost to Japans weakening economy. The case studies are timely and topical. As host of the 2020/2021 Tokyo Olympic Games and the 2025 Osaka Expo, Cool Japan will be under special scrutiny.

Book Description
An assault on the senses, part murder mystery, part metaphysical speculation; a fable for our times as catchy as a rock song blasting from the window of a sports car. High-class call girls billed to Mastercard. A psychic 13-year-old dropout with a passion for Talking Heads. A hunky matinee idol doomed to play dentists and teachers. A one-armed beach-combing poet, an uptight hotel clerk and one very bemused narrator caught in the web of advanced capitalist mayhem. Combine this offbeat cast of characters with Murakami's idiosyncratic prose and out comes Dance Dance Dance. 'If Raymond Chandler had lived long enough to see Blade Runner, he might have written something like Dance Dance Dance' Observer
