Download or read book British Children s Literature in Japanese Culture written by Catherine Butler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether watching Studio Ghibli adaptations of British children's books, visiting Harry Potter sites in Britain or eating at Alice in Wonderland-themed restaurants in Tokyo, the Japanese have a close and multifaceted relationship with British children's literature. In this, the first comprehensive study to explore this engagement, Catherine Butler considers its many manifestations in print, on the screen, in tourist locations and throughout Japanese popular culture. Taking stock of the influence of literary works such as Gulliver's Travels, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Tom's Midnight Garden, and the Harry Potter series, this lively account draws on literary criticism, translation, film and tourist studies to explore how British children's books have been selected, translated, understood, adapted and reworked into Japanese commercial, touristic and imaginative culture. Using theoretically informed case studies this book will consider both individual texts and their wider cultural contexts, translations and adaptations (such as the numerous adaptations of British children's books by Studio Ghibli and others), the dissemination of distinctive tropes such as magical schools into Japanese children's literature and popular culture, and the ways in which British children's books and their settings have become part of way that Japanese people understand Britain itself.

Download or read book Secret Memoirs of the Shoguns written by Isaac Titsingh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-03-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isaac Titsingh was intermittently head of the Japan factory (trading station) of the Dutch East India Company 1780-94. He was a career merchant, but unusual in having a classical education and training as a physician. His impact in Japan was enormous, but he left disappointed in the ability of the country to embrace change. After many years in Java, India and China, he came to London, and then settled in Paris where he devoted himself to compiling translations of prime Japanese texts. It is one of the most exciting anthologies of the period and reveals the almost unknown world of eighteenth-century Japan, discussing politics, history, poetry and rituals. The Illustrations of Japan appeared posthumously in 1821-1822 in English, French and Dutch. This fully annotated edition makes the original English version available for the first time in nearly two centuries

This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diaries of Court Ladies of Old Japan Izumi Shikibu's Diary is written with extreme delicacy of treatment. English words and thought seem too downright a medium into which to ren der these evanescent, half-expressed sentences and poems - vague as the misty mountain scenery of her country, with no pronouns at all, and without Verb inflections. The shy reserve of the lady's writ ten record has induced the use of the third person as the best means of suggesting it.
