44. JapanCorner - The Benihana Guide To Japan Akutagawa Ryunosuke (18921927), famous Japanese short story writer best knownfor his work, Rashomon , also wrote The Bow which is a short story telling http://www.japancorner.com/bowing.asp

Bowing is basic to Japanese etiquette. It is the way Japanese people greet each other, say farewell, show respect, express thanks and apologize. For the Japanese who are particularly conscious of personal space, bowing establishes a comfortable and respectful distance between two people. In modern times, the Japanese have become comfortable with the "handshake" as a form of greeting when dealing with westerners. At the same time, the Japanese are appreciative when a westerner shows respect for this time honored custom by bowing when meeting. The degree of the bow is determined by social status. When a person of higher social status meets a person of lower social status, the person of lower social status bows the deepest. A typical bow is done at about a 15 degree angle and the longer it is held the more feeling it evokes. When bowing is done as an apology, it must be as low as 90 degrees. Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927), famous Japanese short story writer best known for his work, "Rashomon", also wrote "The Bow" which is a short story telling about a related encounter.

The play is based on the 1915 story by Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927) that became famous thanks to Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film classic. Fay and Michael Kanin's drama was first produced on Broadway in 1959, starring Rod Steiger and Claire Bloom. Set around 1000 A.D., at the height of the Heian period, "Rashomon" tells the story of how a samurai and his wife have a chance encounter with a bandit in a bamboo forest. There is a killing, and three different versions of it are presented in court, probing questions of what is truth, what is perception and what is illusion. It is a timeless tale of lust, revenge and honor.

Vol.08-4 December 2000 / January 2001 "RASHOMON" To Be Staged By Pan Asian Repertory Company Directed by Tisa Chang, the long-awaited Pan Asian Repertory Company's production of Fay and Michael Kanin's Rashomon , a play based on the 1915 story by Akutagawa Ryunosuke (1892-1927), will be performed February 13 -March 18 at The West End Theatre (Church of Saint Paul and St. Andrew, 263 West 86th Street, Manhattan) . This stage version of the story first premiered on Broadway in 1959, starring Rod Steiger and Claire Bloom. Rashomon's impact on audiences worldwide, let alone on Asian arts, goes far beyond its humble origins as a short story.

(ITALICS) Rashomon (END ITALICS) established Kurosawa's career as a prominent, world-class producer.

The Bridge of Dreams by Robert N. Lawson When I began, I planned to do three things in spinning my web on this my Web Site. The first was structural (did structure my life for two years) and central, to self-serialize my 24-chapter novel, The Bridge of Dreams , a chapter a month for the first two years of the 21st century. I began doing that in January of 2000 with: Preface Contents Bridge 1 and finished in December of 2001, with Bridge 24 , having crossed The Bridge of Dreams (for intervening chapters, go through Contents As a continuation of that project, I spent the next two years on a four-play dramatic adaptation of that novel, each a three-act play, based on Jack's four women: Betty, Laura, the Countess, and Christine. I began, in February, 2002, with Betty I: Pygmalion .

Violet Books Orientalia II Click on any thumbnail to see a larger view of that cover. Tales of the Grotesque Curious (Hokuseido Press, 1930) is Ryunosuke Akutagawa's rarest collection in English. His father gave him the name Ryonosuke, "Dragon Helper," becaue he was born at the hour of the dragon, on a dragon day, in the dragon month, of a dragon year. He early in life developed a love for fantasy the macabre. A typical tale from this collection is "Tobacco the Devil" in which Faust's devil journeys to Japan in company with Francis Xavier. Rashomon Other Stories (Liveright, 1952) by Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927) is a collection of morbid weird shorts inspired somewhat by Poe Kafka. At times a medievalist like William Morris, Ryunosuke's graduation paper was a study of Morris. Two of the tales from this collection were adapted as Kurosawa's classic film Rashomon.

Hughes Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. Introduction CHARLES SHIRO INOUYE'S introduction to his English translations of Izumi Kyoka's Japanese Gothic Tales (1996) attempts for the first time in English to contextualize the idea of Japanese Gothic fiction. Inouye, a gifted translator, is unwilling to defend the centrality of the Gothic in Kyoka's work beyond a connection to Poe and an interesting "dissonance" that might creak open if the traditions are compared. Kyoka's writing flows from assumptions very different from those that provide the bedrock for Poe's dank and desolate creations, but to the extent that the term gothic can hold meaning in a cross-cultural dimension, it is worth applying to both writers, if only to bring attention to the dissonance the category creates. If anything, Kyoka's writing is a frontal attack on the barbarous and uncouth values to which European gothic supposedly owes its genealogy Yet Kyoka does share with Poe a decadent romanticism, and this point of sameness leads us to consider how it is possible that writers of the uncanny and the macabre can be highly regarded at all.(1)
