Book excerpt: The story is set in Japan in the 80s. It focuses on a family where Namiko the protagonist, an only child of Anand and his Japanese wife Yuvi, is brought up in Ninenzaka, a suburb of Kyoto. Takeshisan a Zen monk enters their life and deeply influences the family. His presence is always calming because of his philosophy of ‘Uketamo’ which is acceptance of life with its ups and downs. A visit to his monastery with her father helps Namiko to understand the Buddhist way of life. Listening to her father’s tales of his upbringing, Namiko is curious about India and joins him on a trip to Calcutta, visiting several places on the way, including Lumbini the birthplace of Gautam Buddha. Namiko, in the meanwhile, gets a scholarship to study in the US, close to her childhood friend Takano from Ninenzaka. Their bonding in a new land is remarkable. A meeting with Anand’s childhood friend Rushuda and his son Biswajit, who is soon moving to Tokyo to complete his doctoral thesis, leads to a possible betrothal. The story takes Namiko through a few countries, cultures and flavours that make the script absorbing. Will Namiko marry Biswajit and settle down to a normal housewife’s life in Tokyo? What about her childhood friend Takano? Will he and his sister Kimiko play a crucial role in her life? Surely, there is more to it than meets the eye! Read to find out.

Book excerpt: Nami-Ko, also called The Cuckoo (不如帰, Hototogisu), is a tragic story of love and devotion, through sickness, war, oppression, and vengeance. Eighteen-year-old Nami Kataoka hoped her marriage to Baron Takeo Kawashima would bring freedom from her overbearing stepmother. But the couple's happiness is spoiled by her illness, her mother-in-law's jealousy, and the schemes of Chijiwa, her husband's cousin and her own disappointed suitor. Takeo's naval career takes him away for long periods, and when war breaks out between Japan and China (in 1894), his mother takes advantage of his absence to break up the marriage, sending Nami back to her father, the General Kataoka. Despite his love for Nami, Takeo- who is fearless and resolute in facing Chinese naval bombardment-is hesitant and seemingly helpless in the face of his mother's interference. More than a love story, the novel is a reflection on the systemic oppression of women-even among the wealthy classes-as well as the contrast between traditional samurai values and emergent commercial interests, and, moreover, the awakening of Japanese nationalism as expressed through military expansion.

Download or read book Transpacific Convergences written by Denise Khor and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the rise of the Hollywood system and hostility to Asian migrant communities in the early twentieth-century United States, Japanese Americans created a thriving cinema culture that produced films and established theaters and exhibition companies to facilitate their circulation between Japan and the United States. Drawing from a fascinating multilingual archive including the films themselves, movie industry trade press, Japanese American newspapers, oral histories, and more, this book reveals the experiences of Japanese Americans at the cinema and traces an alternative network of film production, exhibition, and spectatorship. In doing so,Denise Khor recovers previously unknown films such as The Oath of the Sword(1914), likely one of the earliest Asian American film productions, and illuminates the global circulations that have always constituted the multifaceted history of American cinema. Khor opens up transnational lines of inquiry and draws comparisons between early Japanese American cinema and Black cinema to craft a broad and expansive history of a transnational public sphere shaped by the circulation and exchange of people, culture, and ideas across the Pacific.

This volume collects, in one place, a breadth of information about Asian American literary and cultural history as well as the authors and texts that best define it. A dozen contextual essays introduce fundamental elements or subcategories of Asian American literature, expanding on social and literary concerns or tensions that are familiar and relevant. Essays include the origins and development of the term "Asian American"; overviews of Asian American and Asian Canadian social and literary histories; essays on Asian American identity, gender issues, and sexuality; and discussions of Asian American rhetoric and children's literature. More than 120 alphabetical entries round out the volume and cover important Asian North American authors. Historical information is presented in clear and engaging ways, and author entries emphasize biographical or textual details that are significant to contemporary young adults. Special attention has been given to pioneering authors from the late 19th century through the early 1970s and to influential or well-known contemporary authors, especially those likely to be studied in high school or university classrooms.
