Dr. Paula R. Curtisさんのイラストまとめ

Oh man, it was a joy to introduce students to Dōjōji legend today. 😍🐉 Instead of prefacing with readings, we looked at other emaki & read on the image/text relationship. Then I showed my reproduction & a student assisted unrolling it while I narrated in translation! #pedagogy

#spooktober, #Japan! Some of you may be familiar with images of a ghastly-looking woman with a bulging forehead/eye. This is Oiwa from the kabuki play Tōkaidō Yotsuya kaidan (Ghost Story of Yotsuya in Tokaido) by Tsuruya Namboku IV in 1825. 👻 This is an Utagawa Kuniyoshi print.

It's October, everyone! 🎃 Which means it's time for spooky facts & features, Japan edition. This is a yūrei-zu 幽霊図, or "ghost image," by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1882). Here we see an image from Yoshitoshi ryakuga with a painting of a ghost come to life. #spooktober #👻 #Japan

More premodern Japanese women: Much like alewives in #medieval Europe, in medieval Japan, women were among sake brewers 🍶(seen in literature & art). They, too, would gradually be edged out in the early modern period by male counterparts. #medievaltwitter #InternationalWomensDay
