Ueda Akinari - Literature as Bonds (Osaka University Libre 39) by Yoichi Iikura, Osaka University Press
Akinari is famous as the author of "Ugetsu Monogatari" (Tales of Moonlight), but his activities extended beyond storytelling. He was a multi-talented individual proficient in waka poetry, haikai, kokugaku (national learning), and the tea ceremony, and audiences enjoyed his numerous handwritten works and portraits.
His circle of acquaintances was also surprisingly wide, including fellow waka and haiku poets, tea ceremony companions, Confucian and kokugaku teachers and colleagues, Shinto priests, and doctors. Wherever Akinari was, a circle of people would gather. Literature served as a tool to deepen human connections and enjoy life. His affectionate days with his wife are also unforgettable.
As indicated by the subtitle, this book focuses less on academic analysis of Akinari's works and more on his friendships and relationships, pursuing the trajectory of Akinari's life and his charm.
Readers will understand how such a mature individual lived in the towns of Edo-period Osaka and Kyoto, and the human being, Ueda Akinari, will become a familiar presence. This will lead us to re-examine today's society, often called a "society of strangers," and our own way of life, where we tend to forget important things while being swayed by it.
