Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Primitive Mediaeval Japanese Texts: Translated Into English With Introductions, Notes and Glossaries In preparing the present volume and its companion volume of romanized texts I have desired to assist the English reader towards some fuller understanding of the primitive and mediaeval literature of Japan than can be gathered from merely literal or imitative translations. The examples chosen are the earliest of the categories to which they respectively belong, and have been followed, more or less closely, as models, in the production of most of the purely Japanese - as distinct from Japano-Chinese - literature of later times. The first is a collection of all the long lays (nagauta or chôka) of the famous Anthology (Manyôshiu) of the eighth century of our era, together with most of their tanka or hanka - mizika or kaheshi uta - or envoys. The second is the Story of the Old Bamboo Wicker-worker (Taketori no Okina no Monogatari), a romance of the tenth century; the third is Tsurayuki´s celebrated preface to his Kokinshiu (Garner of Japanese Verse, Old and New), an Anthology mainly of tanka or single stanzas, of the same century, more admired, perhaps, by the Japanese than its immediate and greater predecessor, the Manyoshiu itself; and the last is the utahi or drama of the Nô of Takasago, the oldest, it may be, of the miracle-plays or semi-religious plays accompanied by music, mime, and dance of medieval Japan.
