Have you seen the movie 50 First Dates? It’s one of my favorite movies, and a very similar situation occu ...

At the core of Junichiro's slim novel, Some Prefer Nettles, is a marriage that is in the process of disintegrating. Rather than husband and wife, the two married people, Kaname and Misako, are "silhouettes pasted on paper." They are shadows, living puppets in a world that they feel little connection ...

This is the third book by Haruki Murakami that I've read (the others being Kafka on the Shore and Pinball, 1973). I've noticed a positive correlation between how recently one of his books was published and how strange it is. While I prefer his more bizarre works - those that include old men who can ...

I was in Kyoto & Uji back in May, seven months ago, and celebrations relating to the supposed 1000th anniversary of the Tale of Genji had been in full swing for months… and only now does the Times ...

--- --- The Yoshitsune chronicle was funny and easy to read, but now this is the total opposite. I am going to introduce the Nô theatre. You can still flee. Well... okay, the word "introduce" would seem rather pretentious. What mainly interests me here, because I established the clasification that w ...

--- First, and before I start with the text of this entry: Check out this! I recently got some biwa CDs imported from Japan, and one of them contained (o coincidence!) a version of the Koshigoe letter performed for Heike biwa. Heike biwa is the ancient biwa, the one that was played in the XIII centu ...

Convergence. I’ve talked about it before. Who needs a computer if you have an iPhone? Who needs GPS, an MP3 player, cough drops, or a brain, for that matter? Technology is gradually moving toward a single instrument that could perform all the functions postmoderns demand. In this global techno-socie ...

Starting January 15th, a new TV anime 『源氏物語千年紀 Genji』 ( Genji Monogatari Sennenki Genji) will be starting. I am, first off, a huge fan of 紫式部 ( Murasaki Shikibu)’s Tale of Genji for a lot of reasons. First off, it is some major art. There is a blank chapter called 雲隠れ ( Kumogakure) signifying Genji’ ...
