(*)Este libro es version renovada del "CL-0025". (★)(1."The Tosa Diary(Tosa Nikki[土佐日記])" es un diario personal escrito por el autor por primera vez en silabario japones Kana. El diario empieza a partir del dia 21 de diciembre del anio 934 cuando terminaba su mandato como gobernador de la Provincia de Tosa y continua hasta llegar a su antigua casa en Kioto el 16 de febrero del anio siguiente. 2.The Tossa Nikki or Tosa diary represents the oldest extant Japanese prose fiction and the beginnings of the great tradition of diary literature. Written in 935, the book is the record of an arduous 55-day 200-mile journey by sea from Tosa, where the author had served as governor, to Kyoto, the capital. Narrated in the first person by a female persona, it provides modern readers not only with a fascinating look at Japanese life and travel in the tenth century but also an insight into the author´s humanity and stylistic excellence. Though the author´s other writings were known for their ornateness, this diary is written with an artless simplicity and quiet humor which is as welcome as it is unexpected from a nobleman of the period. His sufferings from seasickness, his grief for the loss of a mirror, his pride when his little daughter composes a verse in reply to that of a visitor whom he evidently dislikes, his own verses that he cannot resist quoting, and his way of deprecating the verses of others, as well as many other details, supply a very human touch. This engaging translation includes an introduction and notes by the translator as well as the original Japanese in romanization. 3.Ki no Tsurayuki [c.872-946], a court nobleman of high rank, was a diarist, literary theorist, and poet. He was renowned for his erudition and skill in Chinese and Japanese poetry. Between 905 and 922, he, with the assistance of others, compiled the Kokinshu, the first imperial anthology of poetry. His much-cited preface to that work is the first formal articulation of a Japanese poetics and established a model for future generations of poetic criticism. |
