Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose continue on their journey to play every Ace Attorney game! Time to go back, to a time when Soseki Natsume was still in London, and another tragedy befell him! We finally meet two NPCs who briefly showed up in game 1, William Shamspeare and Adron B. Metermann, who add some levity to the grim, poverty-stricken streets of London. Soap, gas meters, dances of deduction, and Dessy calling Soseki her "poor little meow-meow" are the order of the day, plus some of our usual off-topic shenanigans. And yes... your favorite: Rose and Tiago predictions! We get pretty out there, this time...

Mike Collantes started his culinary career inside Orlando's Fashion Square Mall, but he now counts himself among the exclusive ranks of Michelin-starred chefs. Collantes earned his Michelin Star in 2022 for his omakase restaurant Soseki in Winter Park. “After the Michelin Star, we're seeing international clientele and guests, as well as our local guests, but really put us on the map for what we've been doing here in Winter Park,” he said. The same year he won his Michelin Star, Collantes closed his first restaurant Taglish, a fast-casual Filipino concept that had three locations at its height. “As we got busier with the fine dining restaurants and other restaurants, our lease came up, and we decided to close that venture down, never to really open it again,” Collantes said. However, with the success of his fine dining restaurant, Collantes has had the ability to open several other restaurants around the greater Orlando area, including Sushi Saint, which was awarded a Bib Gourmand by Michelin. The award highlights high-quality food at reasonable prices. “Last year, November, we opened up our doors (to Sushi Saint),” he said. “There (was) no hand-rolled temaki bar in town. So it's a different way to eat sushi, utilizing still the same quality that we do at our fine dining and just making it a little bit more casual.” In addition to Soseki and Sushi Saint, Collantes is rapidly expanding his culinary empire. He recently opened a sake speakeasy, Bar Kada, next to Soseki. He is also planning to reopen Taglish inside the food hall that used to be The Hall on the Yard, which is now under new ownership. “Taglish is Tagalog in English — so good representation of not just traditional Filipino food. It's really the upbringing of everyone who's migrated to America and I would say it was my connecting point back to my culture, which, you know, I grew up here in the States,” Collantes said. Collantes also plans to open a French restaurant there as well, Chez Les Copain. The chef said it is something the area is lacking in. “We saw a big decline in French restaurants (in Orlando) in the past couple years. A lot of them have just closed up shop,” he said. In addition to all of his work in Orlando, Collantes is starting to work on some international ventures. “I've been doing consulting for the past year, year and a half, with other brands, and it brought me to this new concept called Kaimana, which will be opening this fall in Dubai,” he said. On the latest episode of Florida Foodie, Collantes talks more about the opportunities he's gotten since earning a Michelin Star. He also talks about the struggles that many restaurants are dealing with now as costs rise. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Orlando is stepping up its game. To outsiders, Central Florida might just look like a bunch of turkey legs and Mickey ice cream bars. But in the past decade, O-town has become home to some pretty top-notch eateries. And the powers that be are starting to take notice.In 2022, the prestigious Michelin Guide began awarding stars to Florida restaurants. Among the first was Soseki Modern Omakase in the leafy Orlando suburb of Winter Park. The dining room has just 10 seats, and the Japanese-inspired, locally sourced dinner is always chef's choice.That chef is Mike Collantes. In addition to owning Soseki, Chef Mike works as a restaurant consultant and interviews fellow chefs on his podcast, 86 The Podcast. In addition, he was recently a contestant on the cooking competition show Morimoto's Sushi Master, which you can watch for free on Roku.Chef Mike recently chatted with me about his decision to open an eatery with only 10 seats, the ripple effect of restaurant awards and a hack for sourcing better ingredients for your next at-home sushi night.Related episodes:Food Blogger Ricky Ly on Orlando's “Tasty Chomps”Are the James Beard Awards Snubbing Florida?Yee Farms Brings Chinese Vegetables and a “Sense of Pride” to Boynton BeachWriter Charlie Crespo on 3 Food & Drink Trends Coming Your Way in 2023Chef Greg Baker on Mental Health: “It's Okay to Not be Okay”

Today's poem is by Musō Soseki (夢窓 疎石, 1275 – October 20, 1351), a Rinzai Zen Buddhist monk and teacher, and a calligraphist, poet and garden designer. The most famous monk of his time, he is also known as Musō Kokushi (夢窓国師, "national [Zen] teacher Musō"), an honorific conferred on him by Emperor Go-Daigo.[1] His mother was the daughter of Hōjō Masamura (1264–1268), seventh Shikken (regent) of the Kamakura shogunate.—Bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Nghe trọn nội dung sách nói Ngày 210 trên ứng dụng Voiz FM: https://voiz.vn/play/2384 Tiểu thuyết thể nghiệm một lối kể chuyện qua hình thức đối đáp kéo dài giữa hai chàng thanh niên khác nhau về tính cách là Kei và Roku khi họ cố sức leo lên đỉnh Aso đang rền rĩ như muốn bùng nổ phun trào dung nham. Và họ phải đối mặt với ngày 210, theo âm lịch là ngày bão tố. Những trường đoạn đối đáp của họ không chỉ thể hiện không khí căng thẳng khốc liệt của thiên nhiên vào ngày núi lửa và bão tố hoành hành mà còn cho thấy những xung đột xã hội gay gắt âm u. Hành trình leo núi đầy ám ảnh của họ liệu có thành không, tác giả để mở cho trí tưởng tượng của người đọc. Tiểu thuyết còn là một phối hợp thú vị giữa thể nhật ký văn chương rất Nhật có truyền thống lâu đời và thể tự truyện pha hư cấu của phương Tây. Tác phẩm dựa trên một hành trình thật sự của Soseki đến Kyushu năm 1899 cùng với người bạn thân là Yamakawa Shinjiro. Hai người gặp bão tố ngày 210 khi thực hiện cuộc leo lên đỉnh Aso. Núi lửa phun trào, văn hóa cũ suy tàn, bão tố ập về… Và những người trẻ tuổi vẫn đi lên với những bước chân đầy trầm tư, khát vọng.

This episode we visit one of Orlando's first Michelin star winners and we finish it off with some top notch desserts.

Eesti keeles on ilmunud Jaapani moodsa kirjanduse armastatud klassiku Natsume Soseki teos "Noorsand".

Please be aware the stories, theories, re-enactments and language in this podcast are of an adult nature and can be considered disturbing, frightening and in some cases even offensive.  Listener Discretion is therefore advised.  Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained.  I'm your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the things that go bump in the night, frighteningly imagined creatures, supernatural beings and even some unsolved mysteries and all sorts of weirdness.  So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....  And on today's Dark enigma well, you guessed it, we have another listener suggestion, and this one is very exotic I had a ton of fun researching, so I hope you guys like the story!  So, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight.  The choice of libation, as always my darlings, is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Soseki   that will be a single shot and every time I say Samurai, that will be a double shot.  Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today's dark enigma… so don… your best Kimono and Obi, or if you prefer your samurai armor as we dive into today's tale of Mysterious Flesh Eating Revenants and Specters from Japanese Folklore  A type of entity that is very pervasive across cultures is that of the flesh-eater, the wraiths and ghouls that lurk in the night to skitter about among the shadows and feed off of humans. Nearly every culture in the world has some form of this grim legend, the most instantly recognizable being vampires, but that is only just scratching the surface of how deep the macabre lore goes. The country of Japan, too, has its own creepy and bizarre legends of pale, fanged entities that come forward out of the night to feast on the bodies of the dead. One very frightening type of carnivorous revenant from Japanese folklore is a type of flesh-eating ghoul known as the Jikininki, or also Shokujinki, which ominously translates to simply “human-eating ghost.” According to the lore, these creatures lurk about old temples, cemeteries, and abandoned ruins near human settlements, where they emerge at night to feast upon the remains of the dead, greedily devouring any remains they find, but never feeling satiated and eternally hungry. They are said to have the power to mesmerize people and to instill a primal fear in those who look upon them, yet mostly avoid human beings, preferring to go about their grim deeds unseen.

Modernity arrived in Japan, as elsewhere, through new forms of ownership. In A Fictional Commons: Natsume Soseki and the Properties of Modern Literature (Duke UP, 2021), Michael K. Bourdaghs explores how the literary and theoretical works of Natsume Sōseki (1867–1916), widely celebrated as Japan's greatest modern novelist, exploited the contradictions and ambiguities that haunted this new system. Many of his works feature narratives about inheritance, thievery, and the struggle to obtain or preserve material wealth while also imagining alternative ways of owning and sharing. For Sōseki, literature was a means for thinking through—and beyond—private property. Bourdaghs puts Sōseki into dialogue with thinkers from his own era (including William James and Mizuno Rentarō, author of Japan's first copyright law) and discusses how his work anticipates such theorists as Karatani Kōjin and Franco Moretti. As Bourdaghs shows, Sōseki both appropriated and rejected concepts of ownership and subjectivity in ways that theorized literature as a critical response to the emergence of global capitalism. Jingyi Li is a PhD Candidate in Japanese History at the University of Arizona. She researches about early modern Japan, literati, and commercial publishing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Become a Patreon member of the club 南風舎 to support my reading Text from Aozora bunko萩原朔太郎芥川君との交際について 　芥川君と僕との交際は、死前わづか二三年位であつたが、質的には可なり深いところまで突つ込んだ交際だつた。「君と早く、もつと前から知り合ひになればよかつた。」と、芥川君も度々言つた。僕の方でも、同じやうな感想を抱いて居たので、突然自殺の報告に接した時は、裏切られたやうな怒と寂しさを感じた。 　芥川君の性格には、一面社交的の素質があつたので、友人が非常に多かつた。しかし本當の打ちとけた親友といふものは、意外にすくないやうであつた。「僕の過去の悔恨は、友人が惡かつたことだ。」といふやうな意味の言葉さへも、或る時は沁々として僕にもらした。つまり芥川君は、自分と反對の性格で、自分の觀念上にイデアしてゐるものを、具體的に表出してくれるやうな友人が欲しかつたのだ。常々菊池寛氏を敬愛して「英雄」と呼んで居たのも、やはりその反性格の爲であつて、丁度あの神經質のボードレエルが、豪放で世俗的なユーゴーを崇敬して居たのと同じである。所が芥川君の周圍に集る人々は、たいていその同型な人物ばかりであつたので、交際の廣いわりに、心境が孤獨で寂しかつたのだらう。 　かうした芥川君にとつて、室生犀星君や僕のやうな人間は、確かに變り種の友人だつたにちがひない。特に室生君には特殊の驚異を感じたらしく、常々「あんな珍しい男を見たことがない」と言つてゐた。芥川君の如くインテリ型の秀才肌で、文明人の纖細な神經から、社交的の禮節にのみ氣を疲らして居た人にとつて、室生君の自然兒的な野性や素朴性やは、たしかに痛快な驚異であり、英雄的にさへ見えたのだらう。（當時の室生君は、今よりもずつと甚だしく野性的であつた。）一方また室生君の方では、自分で深くその野性を羞恥して居り、常に「教養ある紳士」といふやうなことをイデアにして居たので、教養や趣味性の上で文化的にレフアインされた芥川君が、世にも珍しく理想の人物に思はれたのである。僕がまだ芥川君を知らない中、よく室生君は僕に話して「彼の如き文明人種、彼の如き禮節ある人物を見たことが無い。」と言つて、事々に感嘆の辭をもらして居た。後年に於ける室生君の教養と趣味生活とは、芥川君との交際によつて學ぶ所が確かにあつた。 　僕との交際に於ては、どこが芥川君の興味をひいたのか解らない。多分僕の性格中にあるニヒリスチツクの傾向や、多分にアナアキスチツクの氣質やに、別の意味の關心を持つたのだらう。「河童」が雜誌に載つた時、僕の推賞に對して、芥川君は「君に讀んでもらひたかつたのだよ」と言つた。その後も新作が出る毎に、僕の意見をよく求められ、自分のデタラメな獨斷批評を、熱心によく傾聽してくれた。一方また芥川君の方でも、僕の詩などをよく讀んでくれ、時々適切な批評をしてくれた。僕の詩の中では、郷土望景詩數篇が最も氣に入つたらしく、口を極めて賞讚してくれた。 　他の多くの友人に對して、芥川君は常に都會人的な洒落や笑談を言つたらしい。だが僕との交際に於ては、一度もそんな會話をしなかつた。僕のやうなガサツな田舍者には、洒落なんか解らないと思つたのだらう。（實際またその通りだつた。）芥川君と僕との會話は、いつも生活の意義を懷疑したり、生死の問題を論じたり、宗教哲學に關することばかりであつた。かうした諸問題について、芥川君は非常に懷疑的であり、絶望的にさへニヒリスチツクであるやうに思はれた。その點で僕の思想は、芥川君に共鳴する所が多くあつた。「君と僕とは、文壇でいちばんよく似た二人の詩人だ。」と、芥川君は常に語つた。芥川君は、自ら「詩人」と稱して居たからである。しかし實際言へば、芥川君の僕に對する實の興味は、やはり室生君の場合と同じく、僕の氣質の中の野性的直情にあつたのだらう。 　鎌倉に住んで居た時、或る夜遲くなつて芥川君が訪ねて來た。東京から藤澤へ行く途中、自動車で寄り道をしたのださうである。夜の十一時頃であつた。寢衣をきて起きた僕と、暗い陰鬱な電氣の下で、約一時間ほど話をした。來るといきなり、芥川君は手をひらいて僕に見せた。そして「どうだ。指がふるへて居るだらう。神經衰弱の證據だよ。君、やつて見給へ。」と言つた。それから暫らく死後の生活の話をして、非常に嚴肅の顏をして居たが、急に笑ひ出して言つた。「自殺しない厭世論者の言ふことなんか、當になるものか。」そしてあわただしく逃げるやうに歸つて行つた。 　この鎌倉での一夜のことは、未だに猶氣味惡く忘れられない。夜の十一時、不意の自動車、薄暗い電氣、細長い五本の指、死後の生活の話、ふり亂した長髮、蒼ざめた病身の顏、影のやうに消えた後姿。すべての印象が惡夢のやうに感じられた。「ああ怖かつた！」と、歸つた後で妻が言つた。だが流石に、當時僕は彼に自殺の決心があることを氣が付かなかつた。ただ彼の好んで使ふ「鬼」といふ言葉が、その雅號の上でも文學上でも、また人物の風采上でもふさはしいことを強く感じた。

衰残、憔悴、零落、失敗。これほど味い深く、自分の心を打つものはない。暴風に吹きおとされた泥の上の花びらは、朝日の光に咲きかける蕾の色よりも、どれほど美しく見えるであろう。捨てられた時、別れた後、自分は初めて恋の味いを知った。平家物語は日本に二ツと見られぬ不朽のエポッペエである。もしそれ、光栄ある、ナポレオンの帝政が、今日までもつづいていたならば、自分はかくまで烈しく、フランスを愛し得たであろうか。壮麗なるコンコルトの眺めよ。そは戦敗の黒幕に蔽われ、手向の花束にかざられたストラスブルグの石像あるがために、一層偉大に、一層幽婉になったではないか。凱旋門をばあれほど高く、あれほど大きく、打仰ごうとするには、ぜひともその下で、乱入した独逸人が、シュッベルトの進行曲を奏したという、屈辱の歴史を思返す必要がある。後世のギリシヤ人は太古祖先の繁栄を一層強く引立たせる目的で、わざわざ土耳古人に虐げられていたのではあるまいか、自分は日本よりも支那を愛する。暗鬱悲惨なるが故にロシヤを敬う。イギリス人を憎む。エジプト人をゆかしく思う。官立の大学を卒業し、文官試験に合格し、局長や知事になった友達は自分の訪ねようとする人ではない。華族女学校を卒業して親の手から夫の手に移され、児を産んで愛国婦人会の名誉会員になっている女は、自分の振向こうとする人ではない。自分は汚名を世に謳われた不義の娘と腕を組みたい。嫌われたあげくに無理心中して、生残った男と酒が飲みたい。晴れた春の日の、日比谷公園に行くなかれ。雨の降る日に泥濘の本所を散歩しよう。鳥うたい草薫る春や夏が、田園に何の趣きを添えようか。曇った秋の小径の夕暮に、踏みしく落葉の音をきいて、はじめて遠く、都市を離れた心になる…… 　自分は何となく気抜けした心持で、昼過ぎに訪問した友達の家を出た。友達は年久しく恋していた女をば、両親の反対やら、境遇の不便やら、さまざまな浮世の障害を切抜けて、見初めて後の幾年目、やッとの事で新しい家庭を根岸に造ったのだ。その喜ばしい報道に接したのは、自分が外国へ行ってちょうど二年目、日本では梅が咲く、しかしかの国ではまだ雪が解けない春の事で、自分は遠からず故郷へ帰ったならば、何はさて置き、わが出発の昔には、不幸な運命に泣いてのみいた若い男、若い女、今では幸福な夫と妻、その美しい姿を見て、心のかぎり喜びたいと思っていた。しかし自分はどうした訳であろう。ただ何という事もなくがっかりしたのだ。一種の悲愁と、一種の絶望を覚えたのだ。ああ、どうしたわけであろう。どうしたわけであろう。 　毎日の曇天。十一月の半過ぎ。寂とした根岸の里。湿った道の生垣つづき。自分はひとり、時雨を恐れる蝙蝠傘を杖にして、落葉の多い車坂を上った。巴里の墓地に立つ悲しいシープレーの樹を見るような真黒な杉の立木に、木陰の空気はことさらに湿って、冷かに人の肌をさす。 　淋しくも静かに立ち連った石燈籠の列を横に見て、自分は見晴しの方へと、灰色に砂の乾いた往来の導くままに曲って行った。危い空模様の事とて人通りはほとんどない。ところどころの休茶屋の、雨ざらしにされた床几の上には、枯葉にまじって鳥の糞が落ちている。幾匹と知れぬ鴉の群ればかり、霊廟の方から山王台まで、さしもに広い上野の森中せましと騒ぎ立てている。その厭わしい鳴声は、日の暮れが俄かに近いて来たように、何という訳もなく人の心を不安ならしめる。自分は黒い杉の木立の間をば、脚袢に手甲がけ、編笠かぶった女の、四人五人、高箒と熊手を動し、落葉枯枝をかきよせているのをば、時々は不思議そうに打眺めながら、摺鉢山の麓を鳥居の方へと急いだ。掻寄せられた落葉は道の曲角に空地も同様に捨てられた墓場の隅、または赤土の崩れから、杉の根が痩せひからびた老人の手足のように、気味わるく這い出している往来際に、うず高く積み上げられ、番する人もなく、燃るがままに燃されている。しかし閃き出る美しい焔はなくて、真青な烟ばかりが悩みがちに湧出し、地湿りの強い匂いを漲らせて、小暗い森の梢高く、からみつくように、うねりながら昇って行く。ああ、静かな日だ、淋しい昼過ぎだ、と思うと、自分は訳もなく、その辺に冷たい石でもあらば腰かけて、自分にも解らぬ何事かを考えたくて堪らなくなった。 　しかし突然、道は開けて、いそがし気に車の馳せ過ぎる鳥居前の大通りに出た。大通の両側、土手の中腹のそこここに、幾時代を経たとも知れぬ松の大木がある。松の大木はいかなる暴風、いかなる地震が起っても倒れはせぬ。いかなる気候の寒さが来ても枯れはせぬと云わぬばかり、憎々しく曇天の空に繁り栄えて、自分がその瞬間の感想に対して、驚くほど強い敵意を示すものの如く思われた。すると、その憎らしい幹の間から、向うに見下す不忍の池一面に浮いている破れ蓮の眺望が、その場の対照として何とも云えず物哀れに、すなわち、何とも云えず懐しく、自分の眼に映じたのである。敗荷、ああ敗荷よ。さながら人を呼ぶ如く心に叫んで、自分はもはや随分歩きつかれていながらも、広い道を横切り、石段を下りて、また石橋を渡った。 　雨に剥げた渋塗りの門をくぐって、これも同じく、朱塗りの色さめた弁天堂の裏手へ進んで行くと、ここにも恐しいほどな松の大木が、そのあたりをば一段小暗くして、物音は絶え、人影は見えない浮島のはずれ。自分はいいところを見付けたと喜んで、松の根元の捨石に労れた腰を下した。松の根は巌の如く、狭い土地一面に張り出していて、その上には小さい木箱のような庚申塚、すこし離れて、冬枯れした藤棚の下には、帝釈天を彫り出した石碑が二ツ三ツ捨てたように置いてある。蜘蛛のようにその肩から六本の手を出したこの異様な偶像は、あたりの静寂を一層強めるばかりでなく、その破損磨滅の彫刻が、荒廃の跡に対して誰れもが感ずる、かの懐しい悲哀をも添えるのである。 　空気は上野の森中よりも、一層湿気多く沈んでいる。今ではひろびろと遮るものなく望まれる曇った空は、暗い杉や松の梢の間から仰ぎ見た時よりも、一段低く、一段重く、落ちかかるように濁った池の泥水を圧迫している。泥水の色は毒薬を服した死人の唇よりも、なお青黒く、気味悪い。それを隔てて上野の森は低く棚曳き、人や車は不規則にいかにも物懶くその下の往来に動いているが、正面に聳える博覧会の建物ばかり、いやに近く、いやに大きく、いやに角張って、いやに邪魔くさく、全景を我がもの顔にとがんばっている。ああ、偉大なる明治の建築。偉大なる明治の建築は、いかにせば秋の公園の云いがたい幽愁の眺めを破壊し得らるるかと、非常な苦心の結果、新時代の大理想なる「不調和」と「乱雑」を示すべきサンボールとして設立されたものであろう。その粗雑なる、豪慢なる、俗悪なる態度は、ちょうど、娘を芸者にして、愚昧なる習慣に安んじ、罪悪に沈倫しながら、しかも穏かにその日を送っている貧民窟へ、正義道徳、自由なぞを商売にとて、売りひろめに来た悪徳新聞の記者先生の顔を見るようだ、と自分は思った。 　自分は実際心の底から、その現代的なるを嘆賞する。同時に自分は、現代的なるこの建築の前に、見るも痛ましく枯れ破れた蓮の葉に対しては、以前よりも一層烈しい愛情を覚えた。日本の蓮は動し難いトラジションを持っている。ギリシヤの物語で神女が戯れ浮ぶ水百合とは違う。五重の塔や、石燈籠や、石橋や、朱塗の欄干にのみ調和する蓮の葉は、自分の心と同じよう、とうてい強いものには敵対する事の出来ない運命を知って、新しい偉大な建築の前に、再び蘇生する事なく、一時に枯れ死して、わざわざ、ふてくされに、汚い芥のようなその姿を曝しているのであろう。 　曇った空は、いよいよ低く下りて来て、西東、何方へ吹くとも知れぬ迷った風が、折々さっと吹き下りる。その度毎に、破れた蓮の葉は、ひからびた茎の上にゆらゆら動く。その動きを支え得ずして、長い茎はすでに真中から折れてしまったのもたくさんある。揺れて触れ合う破れ葉の間からは、ほとんど聞き取れぬほど低い弱い、しかし云われぬ情趣を含んだ響が伝えられる。河風に吹かれる葦の戦ぎとも、時雨に打たれる木葉の呟きとも違って、それは暗い夜、見えざる影に驚いて、塒から飛立つ小鳥の羽音にも例えよう、生きた耳が聞分けるというよりも、衰えた肉身にひそむ疲れた魂ばかりが直覚し得る声ならざる声である。 　　真珠のような銀鼠色した小鳥の群が、流るる星の雨の如く、破れ蓮にかくれた水の中から、非常な速度で斜めに飛び立った。空の光を受けた水の面の遠い処は、破れ蓮の間々を、眩しいほどに光っている。その光の増すにつれ、上野の森は次第に遠く見え、その上の曇った空は怪しくも低くなり、暗くなって行く。冬の夕暮が近付いて来たのだ。野鴨が二三羽、真黒な影かとばかり、底光りする水面に現れて、すぐまた隠れてしまった。けたたましい羽音と共に、烏の群れが、最初は二羽、それから三羽四羽と引きつづいて、自分の頭の上の松の木にとまって啼き出した。それに応えて、上野の森の方からは、なおも幾羽と知れず、後を追って飛んでくるらしい。松の実が二ツばかり、鋭い爪に掴まれた枝から落ちて、ピシャリと水の上に響いた。水の上に映っている沈静したすべての物の影が、波紋と共にゆらゆら動いて、壁紙の絵模様のようになる……。面白い眺である。しかし自分は余りに騒がしく鳴き叫ぶ烏の声に急き立てられて、ついに水際の捨石から立上らねばならなくなった。 　自分は今日始めて見る、名ばかし美しい観月橋をば、心中非常な屈辱を感じながらも、仕方なしに本郷の方へと渡って行く。四五日ほども引続いて、毎日曇っていた冬の空は、とうとう雨になった。満池の敗荷はちょうど自分の別れを送る音楽の如く、荒涼落寞の曲を奏ではじめる。自分は外套の襟を立て返したばかりで傘はささず、考えるともなく、池と森とを隔てて、今日の昼過ぎ訪問した根岸の友達の事を考えながら歩いた。 　池にのぞむ人家にはもう灯がついている。それが美しく水に映る。自分はありあり友達夫婦の額を照らす、ランプの火影を思い浮べた。火影は実に静かである。静かであるだけ、いかにも鈍い、薄暗い。ああ、恋の満足家庭の幸福というものは、かくまで人間を遅鈍にするものだろうか。一時二人の結婚は到底不可能だと絶望していた時分、二人はまだ外国へ旅立たなかった自分の書斎を、せめてもの会合場にしていた。その頃、彼の女の若い悲しい眼の中には、何という深い光が宿っていたであろう。彼の男の光沢ある唇から出る声の底には、何という強い反抗の力が潜んでいたであろう。ああ、その頃二人は、いかに月の光を愛したか、いかに花の散るのを見て悲んだか。二人は自分と共々、青春に幸多い外国の生活、文学、絵画、音楽、社会主義、日々起る世間の出来事、何につけても、活々した感想を以てそれらを論じた。わずか数年の後、恋の満足を遂げてしまった二人の男女は、自分が質問する日本の衣服の、その後における流行の変遷さえ多くは語らなかった。目下妊娠していて子供が男子であってくれればよいという事ばかり云っていた。夫は勤めている会社に、このまま、おとなしくさえしていれば、将来生活にこまる事はない。妻は下女のいいのが無くってこまるという事を話した。 　ああ、二人の胸には堪えがたい過去の追想も、止みがたい将来の憧憬もなくなったのだ。今頃二人は、時雨の音する軒の下で、昼過ぎ自分に話したような、同じ事を繰返しながら、ランプの光のかげに日本の習慣とてさも忙し気に、晩飯をかき込んでいるのであろう。 　自分はこれから何処に行こうか。雨はさかんに降ってくる。上野の鐘が鳴る前世紀の人達が幾百年聞き澄ましたそれと同じ寂滅無常の声。この声に促されて、東洋の都市は歓楽もなく、哀傷もなく、ただ寝よ、早く寝よ、夢さえ見る事なく寝よとて暗くなって行くのだ。自分は、ヴェルレーヌの一句を思付いた。自分は日本の国土に、「あまりに早く生れ過ぎたか。あまりに晩く生れ過ぎたか。」

This episode starts out with Amy and Janine talking about Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) and the poetic reforms that took place from 1868 during Japan's transition from the Edo to the Meiji period. It was a time when Shiki (and his friend Natsume Sōseki), was influenced by Western literary styles and culture. These effects are reflected in Shiki's haiku, tanka and prose. Beichman's literary biography Masaoka Shiki: His Life and Works (Cheng & Tsui Co, 2002) delves into Shiki's influence on poetry, his invention of the tanka series and the publication of his poetic diaries. Janine also discusses the differences between haiku and tanka (waka) and their variations.Janine then details her path to discovering feminist poet Yosano Akiko (1879-1942) and tells how she came to the decision to focus on this particular poet to write a literary biography. Embracing the Firebird: Yosano Akiko and the Birth of the Female Voice in Modern Japanese Poetry (Univ of Hawaii Press, 2002) is the result. Janine talks about Akiko and her relationship with nature in poetry and feminism. Beichman reads a poem from Yosano's collection "Tangled Hair" included in her book.See University of Hawaii Press for indexes for Embracing the Firebird:Introduction by the AuthorFirst Lines of PoemsNext, Janine charts her relationship with poet Makoto Ooka, and how she started writing for his magazine which later led to him asking her to translate a book of his poems. The book was originally published by Catydid Press and later Kurodohan released a second English edition called Beneath the Sleepless Tossing of the Planets. Read a review by Christopher Blasdel of Sleepless Tossing of the Planets here.Janine also discusses Makoto Ōoka, how she became involved translating his poetry and how she chose which to poems to include in the anthology Ori Ori no Uta.Lastly, Janine reveals who her favorite Japanese poets and poetry books are.Unfortunately, Janine's book wasn't near release at the time of the podcast recording, but her latest endeavor is the translation of Well-Versed: Exploring Modern Japanese Haiku (Japan Library/JPIC, March 25, 2021).

Hundreds and hundreds of books have been written about him and thousands and thousands of academic articles published. Often regarded as one of the country's representative 'national authors' - a man whose face adorned the 1,000 yen note between 1984 and 2004, and whose works have been a staple of school textbooks for decades - Soseki has come to symbolise Japan's past struggles with modernisation and westernisation. Under intense government pressure to become Japan's leading expert on English literature and imbued with a self-described mission to produce a revolutionary 'theory of literature', Soseki succumbed to paranoia and anxiety in his mid-thirties. He later wrote that the entire Japanese nation had been forced into the collective equivalent of a nervous breakdown, having to assimilate several centuries of Western civilisation in the course of a few decades. - Join my Facebook Group Meditation Mindfulness Yoga Mantra https://www.facebook.com/groups/642191676459430 - Here my short stories about Kindness (I giorni della gentilezza- Paperback - Italian version)- https://tinyurl.com/3vfud2c9 - Here my book Learn Māori Culture and Proverbs (paperback) tinyurl.com/6zmvz9tt - Version with Full Color Images - www.amazon.com/Learn-M%C4%81ori-…1621334435&sr=8-3 - Poster Maramataka: tinyurl.com/pht4easb - Here my book dedicated to Lo-Fi Music (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/r2d69dyb - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here my book Black Book Note www.amazon.com/BLACK-BOOK-NOTE-i…32&s=books&sr=1-1 - Here my book with illustrated philosophical short stories (ebook and paperback), https://tinyurl.com/mfyd4vk7 - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries.
