American Measure: William Carlos Williams’s Vision of Free Verse

American Measure

William Carlos Williams’s Vision of Free Verse

  • Aya YOSHIDA/2021.3
  • JPY 5,000/A4 size, hard cover, 156 pages
  • bookdesign: Tamon Yahagi

William Carlos Williams championed the distinctive rhythms of American speech over against the English ones imposed in schools. He also resisted the foreign idioms embraced by Eliot and Pound, which he saw as a threat to the integrity of American verse. This was not a stay-at-home poet-doctor’s resentment of flamboyant cosmopolitanism, but obeyed a task imposed on him by the American language itself. Taking up this challenge, he found a new voice for America, in a style of composition which was by no means as free, casual, or direct as it might have appeared. Aya Yoshida shows this by tracing Williams’s quarrel with “free verse,” which he regarded as an oxymoron, and by uncovering the hidden prosodic discipline which was his lifelong concern. Central to this project was his invention of a ‘variable foot’ that replaced iambic constriction with a subtler music to catch the modern ear. The correlative experiments in typography that he also pursued throughout his career set up a dialectic between the aural and the visual, which could charge an individual image such as the iconic “red wheelbarrow” with a new kind of presence and significance. Yoshida’s analyses of these effects will kindle a thirst in her readers to renew acquaintance with this great American poet, and to make many similar discoveries of their own. –– Joseph S. O’Leary

Shakespeare Performances in Japan: Intercultural-Multilingual-Translingual

Shakespeare Performances in Japan

Intercultural-Multilingual-Translingual

  • Emi HAMANA / 2019.9
  • JPY 5,500 / A4 size, softcover, 188 pages
  • bookdesign: Toshinobu NAGATA

This book is the result of three research projects: the Intercultural Performances of Shakespeare’s Plays, Intercultural Education through World Shakespeare Performances and Translingual Performances of Shakespeare Worldwide. Although these projects were closely related and built upon one another, this book is divided into two parts—Part I: Intercultural and Multilingual Performance and Part II: Translingual Performance—according to the order of their development, logical continuity and coherence. The outcomes of the critical explorations presented in Part I lead to the proposal of a challenging new field in Part II, set against the backdrop of a paradigm shift in language education and new approaches in theatre studies.

Asakusa 2011-2016: 6 Broadway Japanese Portrait

Asakusa 2011-2016

6 Broadway Japanese Portrait

  • Katsutoshi HATSUZAWA / 2017.5
  • JPY 7,000 / B5 extensional size, softcover, 520 pages
  • bookdesign: Hd LAB

Asakusa, apart from being a historic district of Tokyo, is one that reflects the inimitable character of Japan.
This traditional downtown area holds the classic spirit of the nation, a place still removed from the modernity of the city. Here, in the entanglement of the narrow streets, the roots of the culture are embedded.
The area provides a fascinating glimpse into the contradictory ethos of the people, combining the imagery of post-war nostalgia with the undesciplined rough edges of a township struggling to enter the present day.
It certainly cannot be classified as beautiful yet here lies its charm ― one uniquely Japanese.

Ishinomaki Hen-ei

Ishinomaki Hen-ei

  • Mamoru MIURA, Shoko HASHIMOTO / 2017.2
  • JPY 2,500 / A4 extensional size, hardcover, 120 pages
  • bookdesign: Jun KATSURAGAWA

Photographing Ishinomaki after the Great East Japan Earthquake. 75 photos, poetry and essay.

What a huge epic-lyric poem, a symphony of photographs and words! This is a record of the illuminations of countless souls, departing from the cruel claw marks in March and arriving to the celebration of the repeated activities between Gaia and human.
– Shohei Nakajyo (French literature)

Photographs intertwine with scenes, and words with photos. Flipping the pages leads you to another side of the world. Then, you will notice that. Being connected to over there is the way of prayer after the disaster.
– Hiroshi Hasegawa (philosopher)
