December 1994Die Geschichte vom Prinzen Genji
Wie sie geschrieben wurde um das Jahr 1000 unserer Zeitrechnung von Murasaki, genannt Shikibu, Hofdame der Kaiserin von Japan
by Murasaki, Arthur Waley, Herberth E. Herlitschka
Das Genji-Monogatari ist das älteste und bedeutendste Werk der japanischen Frauenromane. Zugleich gilt es als ältester Roman der Weltliteratur überhaupt. Es entstand zwischen 1004 und 1011, als seine Verfasserin als Hofdame in den Diensten der Kaiserin Akiko stand. Als Meisterin einer leicht hinfließenden Prosa versteht sie es, die Bildhaftigkeit der Sprache zu nutzen, um die Liebeserlebnisse des Prinzen Genji zu beschreiben. Wie in einem Nô-Schauspiel treten die Personen der Handlung klar akzentuiert in ihren Wesenszügen vor dem Hintergrund einer sich immer wieder wandelnden Natur auf.

FictionJune 2020Drawings of Hiroshima
by Marcelo Simonetti
“The sky was covered with grey clouds. The drizzle was lighter than normal, almost pious. The Japanese were advancing through the streets with short, fast steps. Satoru was ahead of them. He pedaled at a good pace. From his bicycle seat, the city revealed itself to his eyes as a sequence of frames. It was strange to be there, in his grandfather's city, and to ride through it as he had probably never done before: on two wheels. Even so, the possibility that the route he was taking would intersect with the routes that his grandfather had taken when he was a child, provoked an intimate emotion in him. Those landscapes were over eighty years old, including an atomic bomb, but it was the land where Ryu Nakata had learned to walk, to speak, to read”. The death of his grandfather, awakens in the young Yasuhiro Nakata the desire to know the family history, especially after finding a letter in which he discovers another side of the old man whose last words were: 'Hiroshima, Hiroshima', warning of the existence of a secret. As a result, Yasuhiro embarks on a journey that will take him from Valparaiso to Hiroshima, where his grandfather emigrated ten years before the atomic disaster. This is the beginning of Drawings of Hiroshima— a charming story that allows readers to follow the protagonist on a journey in which he not only reconnects with his Japanese origins, but also questions his present, his interpersonal relationships and his interest in writing, deepening the unconscious desire to understand the role that he plays in a story that is not his own but yet challenges him directly. With this new release, Marcelo Simonetti addresses issues such as migration and identity, connecting the historic Chilean port of Valparaiso with the memory of the tragedy occured in the Japanese city.

35 True Life Stories from Japan
by Amy Chavez
Get to know the inhabitants of a tiny Japanese island—and their unusual stories and secrets—through this fascinating, intimate collection of portraits.When American journalist Amy Chavez moved to the tiny island of Shiraishi (population 430), she rented a house from an elderly woman named Eiko, who left many of her most cherished possessions in the house—including a portrait of Emperor Hirohito and a family altar bearing the spirit tablet of her late husband.Why did she abandon these things? And why did her tombstone later bear the name of a daughter no one knew? These are just some of the mysteries Amy pursues as she explores the lives of Shiraishi's elusive residents.The 35 revealing accounts in this book include: The story of 40-year-old fisherman Hiro, one of two octopus hunters left on the island, whose brother died tragically in a boating accident A friendly Buddhist priest, now in his eighties, who reflects on his childhood during the war years, witnessing fighter pilots readying themselves to die, and the ever-present, gnawing hunger he felt A "pufferfish widow," so named because her husband died after accidentally eating a poisonous pufferfish. A tombstone maker's wife, 85, recalls what it was like to arrive on Shiraishi for the first time to marry a man she had never met before Interspersed with the author's reflections on her own life on the island, these stories paint an evocative picture of the dramatic changes which have taken place in Japanese society across nearly a century. Fascinating insights into local superstitions and folklore, memories of the war and the bombing of nearby Hiroshima, and of Shiraishi's heyday as a resort in the 1960s and 70s are interspersed with accounts of common modern-day problems like the collapse of the local economy and a rapidly-aging community which has fewer residents each year.
