神島にて、三島由紀夫が『潮騒』取材中に滞在していた寺田家を、宿泊した旅館にお願いして案内してもらいました。

①寺田家に続く階段

②『潮騒』の登場人物、漁業協同組合長「宮田照吉」のモデルになった寺田宗一さん宅。現在はどなたも居住されていません。

③寺田家の屋根越しに臨む景色。島の電気供給に大切なケーブルは、まるで空に線を引いたように見えます。

④玄関を入ってすぐ。左側には原作の通り、急な傾斜の梯子階段がありますが、本当に梯子のように急な傾斜で撮影出来ませんでした。

⑤三島由紀夫が朝6時半に起きる毎日を過ごしていた2階のお部屋。

⑥2階の窓から三島由紀夫も眺めたと思われる眺望。

⑦三島由紀夫から寺田宗一さんへの贈り物など、所縁の品々。赤い机は当時、三島由紀夫が実際に使用していたもの。奥に山口百恵さんのパネルが❗️

⑧三島由紀夫のサインの入った品々。左上はシガレット入れの付いたライター、右上はその外箱。

⑨怖い程、澄み切ったエメラルドカラーの神島の海。

当時、28歳だった三島由紀夫が、

「人口千二、三百、戸数二百戸、映画館もパチンコ屋も、呑屋も、喫茶店も、すべて「よごれた」ものは何もありません。この僕まで忽ち浄化されて、毎朝六時半に起きてゐる始末です。ここには本当の人間の生活がありさうです。たとへ一週間でも、本当の人間の生活をまねして暮すのは、快適でした。」と川端康成宛の手紙に書いたように、現在も映画館、パチンコ屋、そして呑屋はありませんが、宿泊した旅館の姉妹店でもあるかわいい喫茶（軽食）店が時計台の隣にありました。

人口は昭和28年当時、1,200〜1,300人となっていますが、2022年で402人に…。澄んだ海のように島の人々は快活、気さく、親切で働き者ばかり、しかし荒波で知られる伊勢湾の海を相手に命懸けの漁業をされるのですから、遊びに来たのがちょっぴり恥ずかしくなるような旅でした。

Genpei War

The Genpei War (1180-1185 CE), also known as the Taira-Minamoto War, was a conflict in Japan principally between two rival clans: the Minamoto and Taira, for control of the imperial throne. The civil war was punctuated by a typhoon, earthquake, famine and a plague but was finally ended at the decisive Battle of Dannoura when the defeated leader of the Taira, Tomomori, and the claimant to the throne Antoku, both committed suicide. In the aftermath of the war, the Kamakura Shogunate was established by Minamoto no Yoritomo and the military would go on to dominate Japanese government for centuries to come.

Background

The Genpei War (Genpei No Soran) was a civil war for dynastic control in Japan between two powerful clan groups who each claimed a rightful inheritance to the imperial throne. From the 9th century CE, the process known as 'dynastic shedding' removed individuals from the dynastic lineage because the royal family became too large and too costly to maintain. With emperors having as many as 50 children, even direct descendants were removed from the royal line and given one of two family names: Minamoto (aka Minamoto-Shi or Genji) or Taira (aka Hei-Shi or Heike). Both groups were militarily powerful and a bitter rivalry developed between them. The aristocracy at court depended on one of the families according to their particular allegiance.

Almost inevitably, armed conflict broke out between these rivals, notably in the 1156 CE Hogen Disturbance when the two sides claimed the throne vacated by the death of retired emperor Toba. The retired emperor Sutoku was supported by Tameyoshi, head of the Minamoto and some factions of the powerful Fujiwara clan led by Yorinaga. Meanwhile, the then emperor Go-Shirakawa was supported by Tameyoshi's eldest son, who joined with the Taira and other members of the Fujiwara, led by Tadamichi, Yorinaga's brother. The Go-Shirakawa side, with help from the military commander Taira no Kiyomori, quashed the rebellion, and Tameyoshi was executed.

1160 CE saw another outbreak in clan hostilities with the Heiji Disturbance. Minamoto no Yoshitomo, jealous at the rewards and prestige won by Taira no Kiyomori following the Hogen Disturbance, seized the throne in 1159 CE while his rival was away from court. Taira no Kiyomori swiftly returned to restore order and Yoshimoto was killed. Two rebellions and twice the Taira clan had prevailed so that they were now the most powerful family in Japan. For the Minamoto, though, it would be third time lucky.

Taira no Kiyomori enjoyed even greater rewards now that he had quashed two 'disturbances' to the status quo and he was made Grand minister of state (daijo daijin) in 1167 CE. From then on, though, Kiyomori began to lose important allies, notably his old supporter the emperor Go-Shirakawa, now retired, who plotted to assassinate Kiyomori in 1177 CE following his attempt to promote a Taira prince. Trouble was, once again, brewing at court. A failed attempt by Kiyomori to move the court from Kyoto to Kobe was followed in 1180 CE by him audaciously putting his grandson Antoku, a mere two-year-old, on the throne at Kyoto. Antoku was the son of Emperor Takakura and his wife was Kiyomori's daughter. At this, the Minamoto had had enough, and with the support of Mochito, the son of ex-emperor Go-Shirakawa, civil war broke out.

Keisei Suikoden: Genderbent Water Margins

This is probably Part 2 of the "Obscure Vernacular Novels Spotlight" series. Dunno if there's gonna be a Part 3, because most obscure novels stay obscure for a reason. Which is often formulaic boredom. And I'm only picking out the fun ones.

(Also, my main interest is still Ming-Qing vernacular novels, but since I'm doing a final project about Keisei Suikoden for this semester's class, I may as well use the post as Draft 0.)

...

"Is this the Edo Japan equivalent of FGO making historical figures and deities into anime girls?" I thought, when I first came across a Chinese summary of the novel several years ago. 

Then I learned that the author, Kyokutei Bakin, has indeed appeared in FGO as an anime girl. 

As the title suggests, this fan novel of Water Margins has made all the male 108 heroes into heroines, and the female characters into guys...but the changes go further.

Specifically, Bakin has localized the entire setting, rewriting the storyline so that it took place in Kamakura Japan instead. (Hey, it's even contemporary to Northern Song!) Kinda like how Konami's first Suikoden game put the 108 heroes into a medieval fantasy setting.

Which means: 

All the 108 characters got their unique Japanese names, sometimes sharing one or two characters with their original inspirations but not always. 

Daoist characters became Shinto priestesses, yamabushi, and onmyoji. 

Beef dishes that appeared in the original novel were replaced with poultry and fish because Edo Japan had a ban on livestock meat.

The Genpei War and other rebellions in its aftermath were featured in the backstory of a bunch of female bandits, who belonged to defeated clans, and many of the 108 heroines were associated with the Minamoto Clan. 

Almost every character got genderbent. Which means the damsels in distress from the original novel become bishonen in distress, female bandits would kidnap men and force them into marriages, etc.

The rough outline of the story goes like this: an arrogant female official, while trying to find the famous priestess Murokai (fem! Heavenly Master Zhang) in the Kumano mountains to dispel a plague, released the 108 vengeful ghosts of unmarried courtesans mentioned in the Manyoshu anthology, who reincarnated into our 108 heroines.

After a timeskip, in the capital, the Shirabyoshi dancer Kamegiku (fem! Gao Qiu) has gained the favor of Emperor Go-Toba, both of whom were real historical figures.

During his reign, women skilled in various martial arts were selected to train in the Female Warrior Training School, and after offending Kamegiku, one of the head trainers, Ayaosa (fem! Wang Jin) was forced to flee with her aging mother.

During their escape, she encountered the spunky tomboy daughter of a village chief, Fusenryu Komorode ("Komorode the Diving Dragon", fem! Shi Jin), and taught her the eighteen martial arts after defeating her in a duel...

We then got to Otatsu of Hanagara (fem! Lu Zhishen), my favorite of the genderbent characters——A plump, dark-skinned lady with a fierce temper and love for sake, able to effortlessly move a 45 kg mortar around.

She became a fugitive after she killed the mean usurer widow and salted fish vendor, Kaina, with a single punch, to save the male courtesan Yasanosuke and his mom.

Then she was made a Buddhist nun and took on the name Myotatsu, but got expelled from her first temple for acting exactly like the original Lu Zhishen: getting drunk and eating meat, fistfighting a Jizo statue outside the temple gate and bringing the entire small shrine down, and beating up the nuns who tried to stop her.

"I'm adept at explaining the nature of cause and effect: Fuck Around and Find Out." ——Myotatsu, right before rescuing the village head's pretty son from a forced marriage to the local bandit queen 

The novel does have a main plot: while Kamegiku was playing the temptress in Kyoto, Hojo Masako ruled as the "Nun Shogun" in Kamakura, and had essentially usurped the Minamoto Clan by placing her son, Yoriie, under house arrest and later assassinating him.

Thus, instead of robbing Cai Jing's birthday present, the 108 heroines were kidnapping Princess Sanze, the youngest daughter of Yoriie, to protect her from the Hojo regents and restore Minamoto control.

Sadly, we don't know how the plot concludes.

Bakin had gone blind in his old age, relying entirely on his daughter-in-law to transcribe his oral accounts, and since he was focused on finishing his most famous epic novel, Chronicle of the Eight Dogs Heroes (Nanso satomi hakken-den), Keisei Suikoden had taken a backstage and is never finished.

Some highlights:

-Sakurado of Torano-o (fem! Lin Chong) got fucked over because Kamegiku wanted to take her husband for herself. Her husband, Nansei, is a pretty twink monk and one of her disciples. He's timid, delicate, and has no interest in women, but loved Sakurado platonically and was in turn supported by her, who never looked down on him.

-Fushishiba (fem! Chai Jin), a.k.a. Oritaki no Sho, is descended from a member of the Taira Clan who owed a debt to Yoritomo, and was granted various honors and titles after the war.

-fem! Chao Gai's name is Kocho, which translates literally to "Little Butterfly". It might be a pun, since Chao and Cho sound kinda similar. And yes, she did lift an entire stone pagoda and carry it to her village to protect the villagers from the local yokai.

-Fittingly enough, "Sasuno Miko Medogi" (fem! Gongsun Sheng) is an onmyoji of the Abe lineage, who can manipulate Shikigami to summon winds and clouds.

-Oohako (fem! Song Jiang) murdering male! Yan Poxi is...surprisingly cathartic, not gonna lie. For context, Yan Po was not genderbent, but she abused Oohako's generosity to try to set her up with her son, a Joruri actor named Gidakichi, in an attempt to leech off her money.

-And while she's unwittingly offering patronage to their performances out of social obligation, Gidakichi was having an affair with her assistant, Adako (fem! Zhang Wenyuan), and being a stain on her reputation.

-After a very awkward and uncomfortable night at their house and Gidakichi being a creep to her, she accidentally left a pouch containing Kocho's letter of gratitude (because she alerted them to an incoming arrest) in their bedroom.

-Gidakichi found the letter and tried to use it to blackmail her into not only approving his marriage to Adako and covering the full expense, but also giving him the 300 gold mentioned in Kocho's letter (a gift she rejected).

-At which point she finally had enough and stabbed the guy to death. As you can see, the plot beats are mostly the same, but I like it better than the original.

-Why? Because 1) Yan Po's intent to leech off their patron is made a lot more obvious, and 2) instead of Yan Poxi (understandably) having no intention of sleeping with Song Jiang due to his cold neglect, and Song Jiang getting pissed at her for that?

-The dynamic is reversed. Gidakichi had no love for Oohako, and the feeling was mutual. Yet when she was pressured into spending the night in the same room by his mom, she was the one who kept a polite distance while he tried to force himself on her.

-Takeyo (fem! Wusong) is said to be 6 ft tall, with a dignified appearance that resembled the famous Tomoe Gozen from the Tale of Heike. Before she met Oohako, though, she was also short-tempered and prone to violence.

-Because Japan doesn't have tigers, the tiger Takeyo killed was a tiger cub gifted to the local lord by emissaries from Joseon Korea, which had escaped captivity upon reaching adulthood.

-Just like Wu Song, she avenged her sister, Butayo's murder at the hands of Kiresuke (male! Pan Jinlian) the abusive freeloader husband and his mistress, Okei of Seimonya (fem! Ximen Qin).

-Not gonna lie, the original Pan Jinlian and her Plum in the Golden Vase incarnation are both fascinatingly terrible people. But, just like Gidakichi, Kiresuke managed to outdone her through sheer creep factor during his failed attempt at seducing Takeyo and pinning the blame on her.

-Bakin generally tried to tune down the gore and cannibalism in Water Margins, as well as the slaughter of innocents and random passersby. Even Rikiju (fem! Li Kui) is slighty less of a indiscriminate murderhobo, and the targets of her killing spree were limited to samurai guards.

-That said, they still killed the corrupt official Ikken (Huang Wenbing)'s entire family by setting fire to his mansion, and preserved his head in a jar of sake after Rikiju killed him.

-Instead of receiving the three divine scrolls from the Mystic Lady of the Nine Heavens, Oohako received a single scroll from Benzaiten.

-Because of the aforementioned lack of tigers in Japan, Rikiju killed 4 giant "mountain dogs", a.k.a. Japanese wolves with unusual stripe patterns on their fur, after they devoured her elderly mom.

Final Thoughts

I'm not a fan of most genderbent AUs because oftentimes, it doesn't add anything meaningful to the original premise, or alter the character personality too much to the point of losing all resemblance to their counterpart.

Keisei Suikoden, however, is a pre-modern example of a genderbent adaptation done well.

The heroines are as badass, colorful, and violent as their male counterparts, the entire premise has been localized in a manner that's both funny and interesting, and the rewrite + deletion of certain story beats have actually removed many elements of Water Margins that do not sit well with a modern audience.

Also, I'll totally play a Keisei Suikoden RPG game, if the heroine designs stay true to the novel and they aren't all made into pretty anime girls. 

A two -volume English translation can be found on Amazon, together with the Chronicle of the Eight Dog Heroes. There's also a free digital scan of the original Japanese print by the Harvard-Yenching Library.

I just realized something.

For context: in case you guys don’t know, the number 4 in Japan is a symbol of death, as it shares the same pronunciation with the kanji of “Death” (shi). Looking at PMK, I noticed that at this time, Hijikata has tried to make Tetsunosuke leave the Shinsengumi three times in the manga:

- When the Battle of Toba-Fushimi broke, Hijikata gave Tetsunosuke all his salary and a letter so he could free Saya from Shimabara in an excuse to make the boy leave the Shinsengumi. Tetsunosuke returned to them at the end. (Volume 8)

- When he asked Tetsunosuke to go to Katsu Kaishuu for reinforcements during the Battle of Koshu-Katsunuma, it was another excuse to make him leave after his task was done, and Tetsunosuke noticed that and insisted to stay. Again, Tetsunosuke returned to them. (Volume 10)

- More recently, during the start of the Battle of Aizu, when he told him that if he couldn’t kill, he better leave with Saya. Tetsunosuke will return to them once more for what we saw in the flashforward of volume 7. (Volume 17)

This means, when Hijikata sends away Tetsunosuke back to Hino with his belongings so he can escape the Battle of Hakodate and survive, it will be the fourth time he’ll ask him to leave.

The fourth time.

And this time Tetsunosuke will not come back, because Hijikata will be dead and the Shinsengumi will cease to exist.

[sifu-kisu]

Yes, Mulan was a woman who disguised herself as a man to save her elderly father from going to battle. Yes, she was heroic and won high honors for her prowess in battle.

So what's about the Disney version? Uniting China against the Huns/Mongols. In fact, Mulan did quite the opposite. She was a Mongol of the Toba tribe who drove the Chinese out of Mongol territories that had been occupied since Han Dynasty incursions.

Her Mongol name is “Zambaga” in Mongolian.Zambaga is name of a flower(Magnolia)

the originial writing, Moku Araraki Shi ("Mulan Words" or "Mulan Expression") repeatedly refers to her ruler exclusively as the Great Khan (可汗) and never as "emperor".

She lived in the Toba Khanate (拓拔魏汗) and fought against the ethnic Han Chinese Emperors of Yan (燕) from as early as 416 (probably not until 418) until she destroyed the Yan Empire of China in 436.

The entire text of Moku Araraki Shi with English translation below:

唧唧復唧唧

木蘭當戶織

不聞機杼聲

唯聞女嘆息

Ji-ji, again ji-ji,

Mulan faces the door, weaving.

You can't hear the sound of the loom's shuttle,

You only hear Daughter's sighs.

問女何所思

問女何所憶

女亦無所思

女亦無所憶

They ask Daughter who's in her thought,

They ask Daughter who's on her memory.

"No one is on Daughter's thought,

No one is on Daughter's memory.

昨夜見軍帖

可汗大點兵

軍書十二卷

卷卷有爺名

Last night I saw the arny notices,

The Khan is calling for a great force.

The army register is in twelve scrolls,

and every scrolls has Father's name.

阿爺無大兒

木蘭無長兄

愿為市鞍馬

從此替爺征

Father has no adult son,

Mulan has no older brother.

Wish to buy a saddle and horse,

and serve in Father's place."

東市買駿馬

西市買鞍韉

南市買轡頭

北市買長鞭

In the East Market she buys a steed,

In the West Market she buys a saddle and saddle blanket,

In the South Market she buys a bridle,

In the North Market she buys a long whip.

朝辭爺娘去

暮宿黃河邊

不聞爺娘喚女聲

但聞黃河流水鳴濺濺

At dawn she bids farewell to Father and Mother,

In the evening she camps on the bank of the Yellow River.

She doesn't hear the sound of Father and Mother calling for Daughter,

She only hears the Yellow River's flowing water cry jian-jian.

旦辭黃河去

暮至黑山頭

不聞爺娘喚女聲

但聞燕山胡騎聲啾啾

At dawn she bids farewell to the Yellow River,

In the evening she arrives at the summit of Black Mountain.

She doesn't hear the sound of Father and Mother calling for Daughter,

She only hears Mount Yan's nomad horses cry jiu-jiu.

萬里赴戎機

關山度若飛

朔氣傳金柝

寒光照鐵衣

She goes ten thousand miles in the war machine,

She crosses mountain passes as if flying.

Northern gusts carry sound of army rattles,

Cold light shines on iron armor.

將軍百戰死

壯士十年歸

歸來見天子

天子坐明堂

Generals die in a hundred battles,

Strong warriors return after ten years.

On her return she sees the Son of Heaven,

The Son of Heaven sits in the ceremonial hall.

策勛十二轉

賞賜百千強

可汗問所欲

“木蘭不用尚書郎

愿借明駝千里足

送兒還故鄉”

Merits are recorded in twelve ranks

And grants a hundred thousand strong.

The Khan asks her what she desires.

"Mulan has no use for a high official's post.

I wish to borrow a ten-thousand mile camel

To take me back home."

爺娘聞女來

出郭相扶將

阿姊聞妹來

當戶理紅妝

Father and Mother hear Daughter is coming

They go outside the city wall, supporting each other.

When Older Sister hears Younger Sister is coming

Facing the door, she puts on rouge, .

小弟聞姊來

磨刀霍霍向豬羊

"開我東閣門

坐我西閣床

When Little Brother hears Older Sister is coming

He sharpens the knife, quick, quick, for pig and sheep.

"I open the door to my east room,

I sit on my bed in the west room,

脫我戰時袍

著我舊時裳."

當窗理云鬢

對鏡貼花黃

I take off my wartime gown

And put on my old-time clothes."

Facing the window she fixes the cloudlike hair on her temples,

Facing a mirror she dabs on yellow flower powder

出門看火伴

火伴皆驚惶

同行十二年

不知木蘭是女郎

She goes out the door and sees her comrades.

Her comrades are all shocked.

Traveling together for twelve years

They didn't know Mulan was a girl.

“雄兔腳扑朔

雌兔眼迷離

兩兔傍地，

安能辨我是雄雌?”

"The male rabbit's feet kick up and down,

The female rabbit's eyes are bewildered.

Two rabbits running close to the ground,

How can they tell if I am male or female?"

Saitou Hajime (Fujita Goro)

Saitou Hajime

1844-1915

Shinsengumi Fukuchou Jokin, Sanbantai Kumichou

Was the son of a Gokenin, lower ranking vassal named Yamaguchi Yuusuke in Edo.

While in Edo it is said that he was already in acquaintance with Kondou and others of the Shieikan dojo but apparently fled to Kyoto for killing a hatamoto (direct vassal of the shogun) in 1862.

Saitou also participates in the Miburoshi, joining them already in Kyoto on 1863

It is said to have the sword skills/ability on par with Okita and Nagakura.

Although he is one of the youngest officials in the Shinsengumi, he was said to be sent by Hijikata Toshizou to infiltrate the Kodaiji party, led by Itou who split from the Shinsengumi.

Abe Juro claims that he was not a spy and stole money from Itou and thus he could not return to them.

Returns to the Shinsengumi after Itou’s assassination and the destruction of the Kodaiji party in 1867 as Yamaguchi Jirou

After returning to Edo and the defeat at Toba-Fushimi, he joins the Koyou Chibuntai heading for Aizu under instructions of Kondou

He stays with Aizu until it’s fall along with around ten Shinsengumi who decided to stay after Hijikata decided to head for Hokkaido taking the rest of Shinsengumi with him.

After Aizu’s surrender he was detained as a POW and was released for good behavior. Afterwards was exiled along with other Aizu soldiers to Tonami (Aomori).

Marries Shinoda Yaso in 1871 under the name Fujita Goro, but they will get separated for “unknown” reasons.

Marries Takagi Tokio and have three sons with her, Tsutomu, Tsuyoshi and Tatsuo

In the Meiji he is said to have joined the Keishikyoku (Metropolitan Police Dept) as early as 1872, but confirmed records say he worked as an Assistant Police Inspector in the TMPD (Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department) 1876 and went up the ranks until he became Chief Inspector and retired.

He participated in the Southwester Rebellion in 1877.

Favorite sword: Sesshuujuu Ikeda Kishin Ikimaru

Grave is in Amitabha Temple in Nanokamachi, Aizuwakamatsu-shi, Fukushima

ENGLISH

ICHIRO YO YO YO! Let's play the game! Back again, yo Don't be scared, get up to this new phenomenon No backing down! No fade us out! (Let's go!) Shout it through the speakers, big up 'Bukuro! This country’s all washed up again The Knights of the Round Table have been revived Sorry senpai, but you best not get in our way Sing the battle anthem! It's Ichiro Yamada on the set!

SAMATOKI You think too high of yourself, damn brat. It’s almost natural. Acting all macho with the big dogs now, huh? My 0°F attitude's enough to freeze blood. Try to come back to me, it's already too late Mother Father Sister Brother, I'm the Godfather Samatoki These words'll crush you,  cause I'm a biohazard. So you still up to fight?

RAMUDA My heart-shaped beams will strike your through♡ Wrapped in chocolate and wine, it's scary dynamite! Both love and hate mix and explode in the inner zone! This punishment is unisex~ Hey, is Ramuda's cute face stuck inside your head yet~? Brains are manufactured to produce love, you know! Who says candy has to be sweet anyway? That's silly! My special lecture is chaos, let’s make a charming mess~!

JAKURAI Clinical skills are defined by logic Panicking and pantomining in critical situations, these are forbidden, though apathy and time never halt. I ask myself “what is perfection?” is all the time. The eroding human body, patient with teary eyes I swathed in blankets, they still decay.  How pitiful.The innocent soul of Louis XVII May God have mercy on his children

CHORUS Chaos and mayhem, Hypnosis mic! This means war! Alternative Battle! DJ, bring that ill beat! Crackling tension, rhymes are bullets! This ain't an exhibition! It's a historic battle! The brutal magic of this new dimension! Everyone here's greedy as hell! We're gonna rap you to death! No hard feelings, ain't no time for that! Are you game for more? Do you want more?

JIRO Set the limousine alight and blow it up! Let's burn it all up! I’m the God of both Wind and Thunder. The three of us, Rollin' Rollin'! Punks who fight us'll end up dizzy Seriously, you gotta bite harder than that if you wanna match my skill (Let's go!) It's aight if you're aiming for the kill, but this fight would be too easy for Ichi-nii!

JYUTO Yeah, yeah, all right! How annoying, shut your trap! You’re in for the arrest. It's ridiculous how useless your senseless rhyming can get! It's a crime in itself! Striking at the first sign of trouble, that is our criminal investigations department's stance! Absurd? No way! We can't afford mistakes or losses! Take this mic instead of a revolver, to fry your neruons! Obstruction of justice is a felony, you know? Don't blame me if I blast your head off!

GENTARO Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei, Reiwa I'm but a copycat, looking back to every pessimistic era Writing poesies that resist even eternal paradigms, I create the image of a mad and bumbling wordsmith. This verbal stage spreads like an epidemic, from the depths of the slums to the royal palace Your manner of speech clearly indicates what an ignorant fool you are (No mind) This ecriture dictates my desire to gouge out that haughty nose of yours.

HIFUMI Battles are like a customer service, in a way As long as we're here, why don't we up this game? Nothing wrong with a little party and fun, hm? Let's enjoy some big-city entertainment. No need to pay the late charges guys, but your excuse is useless. It'll go on your tab. So no hits to the face, but let's settle this in rap. Though, your appearance is just a mess, isn't it?

CHORUS Run & Gun, Hypnosis Mic! The merciless rhyme, alternative rap! DJ, bring that dope beat! We'll beat you down before you know it! One for the treble! Two for the bass! Even if you knock us down, our flow's here to stay! Fight or flight, it's still your win or loss! We're gonna rap you all dead! No hard feelings, ain't no time for that! Are you game for more? Do you want more?

SABURO Saburo's turn, what should I say? For now, it's time to wreck ‘em with this microphone Workaholics earn their money through dirty work Photoshopped, rewritten, it's 'Bukuro's new blueprint. Bring on, bring on, ding dong ding dong Why don't I teach you a lesson, right here right now? You know what? Take it as a lesson from someone smarter than you. First off, how bout we talk about 'Bukuro's rules?

RIOU Keep the ship stead! Welcome, come on! I am the unstoppable force on the battle field. I'm Mason Riou. The path to victory is through sound logic and reasoning I move with the guidance of the military way. The psychological syndrome that afflicts your heart shall wear out your brain until you perish. Many difficulties lie ahead of you gentlemen. Unfortunately, you are my target and I’m opening fire.

DICE Oi, oi, oi, go humble! C'mon, let's go gamble! Don't know how, then I'll teach ya dumbass! Chinchiro's easy! Still can't play? Gimme a break! It's my win now, so come at me seriously next, got it? Today's a gamble! Fork over your bets! Dead or Alive, if you gonna call quits, hurry and pay up! Zion or Babylon, win or lose, it ain't matter! What matters is we bet it all!

DOPPO Salvation in the face of death, what a cynical joke Doing business means nothing but sucking up, shit damn If you're on the verge of collapsing, making mistakes is fine, I guess Sure, there's not much profit. But as long as you get paid, it's all good. Just doing it once or twice isn't enough for this routine work Rain or shine, it has to be done. It's pretty hard work. Hiding it on normal days, I'll unleash myself during sales talks. I'll stab through you with my blade, let it go deeper, deeper, deeper

CHORUS Chaos and mayhem, Hypnosis mic! This means war! Alternative Battle! DJ, bring that ill beat! Crackling tension, rhymes are bullets! This ain't an exhibition! It's a historic battle! The brutal magic of this new dimension! Everyone here's greedy as hell! We're gonna rap you to death!

Run & Gun, Hypnosis Mic! The merciless rhyme, alternative rap! DJ, bring that dope beat! We'll beat you down before you know it! One for the treble! Two for the bass! Even if you knock us down, our flow's here to stay! Fight or flight, it's still your win or loss! We're gonna rap you all dead!

No hard feelings, ain't no time for that! Are you game for more? Do you want more?

TRANSLATOR NOTES

Ichiro refers to the knights of the Round Table - 12 here, but the original numbers are something like 24, 36 or some even as 72.

Paisen - Another way of saying senpai, but for one you're much closer to/familiar with.

Samatoki's referal to himself as 'the Godfather' is related to how he brought up Ichiro's rap skills.

Jakurai uses the german word for patient/ill person, Kranke

Since these verses are shots at their rivals, Jakurai is addressing Ramuda in this verse. Louis XVII was a child king. Jakurai is asking mercy on Ramuda's soul because he's about to beat this kid to the ground.

Chinchiro is the game that Fling Posse played in the 2nd Drama Track and 4th Chapter of Side FP/M

Zion - synonym for Jerusalem. Babylon, once the largest city in the world - This line possibly refers to how Dice is risking it all with his bets. All or nothing.

Mulan was a Mongol

Yes, Mulan was a woman who disguised herself as a man to save her elderly father from going to battle. Yes, she was heroic and won high honors for her prowess in battle. So what's about the Disney version? Uniting China against the Huns/Mongols. In fact, Mulan did quite the opposite. She was a Mongol of the Toba tribe who drove the Chinese out of Mongol territories that had been occupied since Han Dynasty incursions.Her Mongol name is “Zambaga” in Mongolian.Zambaga is name of a flower(Magnolia)

the originial writing, Moku Araraki Shi ("Mulan Words" or "Mulan Expression") repeatedly refers to her ruler exclusively as the Great Khan (可汗) and never as "emperor". She lived in the Toba Khanate (拓拔魏汗) and fought aganst the ethnic Han Chinese Emperors of Yan (燕) from as early as 416 (probably not until 418) until she destroyed of the Yan Empire of China in 436.

The entire text of Moku Araraki Shi with English translation below:

唧唧復唧唧

木蘭當戶織

不聞機杼聲

唯聞女嘆息

Ji-ji, again ji-ji,

Mulan faces the door, weaving.

You can't hear the sound of the loom's shuttle,

You only hear Daughter's sighs.

問女何所思

問女何所憶

女亦無所思

女亦無所憶

They ask Daughter who's in her thought,

They ask Daughter who's on her memory.

"No one is on Daughter's thought,

No one is on Daughter's memory.

昨夜見軍帖

可汗大點兵

軍書十二卷

卷卷有爺名

Last night I saw the arny notices,

The Khan is calling for a great force.

The army register is in twelve scrolls,

and every scrolls has Father's name.

阿爺無大兒

木蘭無長兄

愿為市鞍馬

從此替爺征

Father has no adult son,

Mulan has no older brother.

Wish to buy a saddle and horse,

and serve in Father's place."

東市買駿馬

西市買鞍韉

南市買轡頭

北市買長鞭

In the East Market she buys a steed,

In the West Market she buys a saddle and saddle blanket,

In the South Market she buys a bridle,

In the North Market she buys a long whip.

朝辭爺娘去

暮宿黃河邊

不聞爺娘喚女聲

但聞黃河流水鳴濺濺

At dawn she bids farewell to Father and Mother,

In the evening she camps on the bank of the Yellow River.

She doesn't hear the sound of Father and Mother calling for Daughter,

She only hears the Yellow River's flowing water cry jian-jian.

旦辭黃河去

暮至黑山頭

不聞爺娘喚女聲

但聞燕山胡騎聲啾啾

At dawn she bids farewell to the Yellow River,

In the evening she arrives at the summit of Black Mountain.

She doesn't hear the sound of Father and Mother calling for Daughter,

She only hears Mount Yan's nomad horses cry jiu-jiu.

萬里赴戎機

關山度若飛

朔氣傳金柝

寒光照鐵衣

She goes ten thousand miles in the war machine,

She crosses mountain passes as if flying.

Northern gusts carry sound of army rattles,

Cold light shines on iron armor.

將軍百戰死

壯士十年歸

歸來見天子

天子坐明堂

Generals die in a hundred battles,

Strong warriors return after ten years.

On her return she sees the Son of Heaven,

The Son of Heaven sits in the ceremonial hall.

策勛十二轉

賞賜百千強

可汗問所欲

“木蘭不用尚書郎

愿借明駝千里足

送兒還故鄉”

Merits are recorded in twelve ranks

And grants a hundred thousand strong.

The Khan asks her what she desires.

"Mulan has no use for a high official's post.

I wish to borrow a ten-thousand mile camel

To take me back home."

爺娘聞女來

出郭相扶將

阿姊聞妹來

當戶理紅妝

Father and Mother hear Daughter is coming

They go outside the city wall, supporting each other.

When Older Sister hears Younger Sister is coming

Facing the door, she puts on rouge, .

小弟聞姊來

磨刀霍霍向豬羊

"開我東閣門

坐我西閣床

When Little Brother hears Older Sister is coming

He sharpens the knife, quick, quick, for pig and sheep.

"I open the door to my east room,

I sit on my bed in the west room,

脫我戰時袍

著我舊時裳."

當窗理云鬢

對鏡貼花黃

I take off my wartime gown

And put on my old-time clothes."

Facing the window she fixes the cloudlike hair on her temples,

Facing a mirror she dabs on yellow flower powder

出門看火伴

火伴皆驚惶

同行十二年

不知木蘭是女郎

She goes out the door and sees her comrades.

Her comrades are all shocked.

Traveling together for twelve years

They didn't know Mulan was a girl.

“雄兔腳扑朔

雌兔眼迷離

兩兔傍地，

安能辨我是雄雌?”

"The male rabbit's feet kick up and down,

The female rabbit's eyes are bewildered.

Two rabbits running close to the ground,

How can they tell if I am male or female?"

[people-of-iwate]

Junko Toba of Rikuzentakata City -Guide at the Iwate Tsunami Memorial Museum- Opened on September 22nd, 2019, the Iwate TSUNAMI Memorial Museum is dedicated to the memory of the victims of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, and will serve to pass on the lessons learned from this horrific tragedy. In order to convey how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters, the museum has hired a number of people to serve as guides in Japanese, English and Chinese. We wanted to know about their motivations in becoming guides, and figured a People of Iwate interview was in order.

“I was born and raised in Rikuzentakata, and I’ve never left. I experienced the disaster firsthand. It was so horrific. I had no idea what would happen to us next. I thought my whole city was done for. But in the midst of that despair, so many people from all over the world came to help us out. They supported us, gave us aid. I am so grateful for that, for the hope they gave us, and I want to tell as many people as I can. In the beginning, I thought, who’s going to care if a normal person like me just goes around saying thank you? But I had a chance to go to Nagoya in western Japan, to talk about the disaster, and I thanked those people from the bottom of my heart. They responded so well, that I knew I had to continue to talk about the disaster and thank everyone, in my own words.” Visit the Iwate Tsunami Memorial Museum Located within the Takata-Matsubara Tsunami Reconstruction Memorial Park Address: (029-2204) Iwate-ken, Rikuzentakata-shi, Kesen-cho, Dotekage 180 Japanese address: 〒029-2204　岩手県陸前高田市気仙町字土手影180番地 Google maps: https://goo.gl/maps/bQLeBzCnKoxnwCE76

Insei 院政  "loi du cloître”

L'Insei 院政 - "loi du cloître" désigne le système de "gouvernement retiré" des anciens empereurs qui, bien que s'étant officiellement mis à la retraite et étant devenus moines bouddhistes, continuaient dans les faits à exercer le pouvoir.

Durant l'ère Heian 平安時代 (0794 -1185), le gouvernement était aux mains du clan Fujiwara-shi 藤原氏, qui s'était maintenu au pouvoir via des mariages avec la famille impériale.

Fujiwara no Michinaga 藤原道長 (0966-1028), était le grand-père de trois empereurs, le père de six impératrices, et le grand-père de sept autres épouses impériales. En qualité de régent il a contrôlé le gouvernement du Japon de 1016 à 1028 à la place des empereurs en titre.

Fujiwara no Tadamichi 藤原忠通 (1097-1164) a été régent des empereurs :

Toba (74) 鳥羽天皇 (1103-1156)

Sutoku (75) 崇徳天皇 (1119-1164)

Konoe (76) 近衛天皇 (1139-1155)

Go-Shirakawa (77) 後白河天皇 (1127-1192)

Pendant la rébellion de Hōgen no ran 保元の乱 (1156), Tadamichi se rangea aux côtés de l'empereur Go-Shirakawa. Le nom de la rébellion correspond à l'ère Hōgen 保元.

En 1087, l'empereur se mit à la retraite afin d'échapper à l'influence du régent Fujiwara no Morozane 藤原師実 (1042-1101), inaugurant ainsi le système de l’insei. Durant ce temps, les "empereurs cloîtrés" - portant les titres d’In 院, ont réellement régné pendant que se succédaient des empereurs sur le trône. En abdiquant ainsi en faveur de leurs fils, en se retirant dans des temples ou des monastères, et en s'entourant d'une cour d'aristocrates efficaces et n'appartenant pas au clan Fujiwara, ils récupéraient le vrai pouvoir. 

Appelés In no Chō 院庁, les bureaux des empereurs retirés pouvaient continuer à édicter ses ordres  qui étaient appliqués en lieu et place de celles de l'empereur en titre. Les empereurs cloîtrés avaient aussi leur propre armée, le Hokumen no Bushi 北面の武士. La création de cette armée a conduit à la montée en puissance du clan Taira-shi 平氏.  

Du fait des nombreuses abdications au cours du XIIe siècle, il y eut parfois plusieurs empereurs cloîtrés en même temps. Dans ce cas, le plus ancien portait le titre de Chiten 治天 et gouvernait réellement. Il est important de comprendre que le Chiten n'était pas au pouvoir au lieu de l'empereur en exercice, mais il exerçait son pouvoir de patriarche de la famille impériale. 

Cependant, à la mort de Toba et avec la rébellion de Hōgen no ran 保元の (1156), ce n'en n'était pas moins un exemple d'opposition directe entre l'empereur et l'empereur retiré (1). Ce titre fut porté par trois empereurs retirés qui couvrent la quasi-totalité de l'existence de l'insei :

L'empereur Shirakawa (72) 白河天皇 (1053-1129, r. 1073-1087, In 1087-1129)

L'empereur Toba (74) 鳥羽天皇 (1103-1156, r. 1107-1123, In 1129-1156)

L'empereur Go-Shirakawa (77) 後白河天皇 (1127-1192, r. 1155-1158, In 1158-1192) La fin de l'Insei de Go-Shirakawa a été marquée par la guerre civile de Gempei kassen 源平合戦 et la montée de Minamoto no Yoritomo 源頼朝 (1147-1199) comme premier shōgun 将軍 de Kamakura 鎌倉.

(1)  Sutoku-tennō (75) 崇徳天皇 (1119-1164 r. 1123 - 1142), succéda à son père Toba-tennō, mais fut contraint par ce dernier à céder le trône à son frère cadet Konoe-tennō (76) 近衛天皇 (1139-1155 r. 1142 - 1155). Quand Konoe mourut, à 17 ans, il fomenta, avec l'ancien Ministre de la Gauche Fujiwara no Yorinaga 藤原頼長 (1120-1156), dit le Mauvais, la rébellion de l'ère Hōgen 保元 (1156). Vaincu, il fut exilé dans la province de Sanuki no kuni 讃岐国 dans l'île de Shikoku 四国.

DERGİ - Dünyayı biçimlendiren 40 hikâye

BBC Kültür, farklı ülkelerden yazarlara başvurarak kuşaktan kuşağa aktarılan, kıtaları aşan ve toplumu değiştiren hikâyeleri seçmelerini istedi.Nisan ayında yapılan ankette yazarlar, insanların düşüncelerini şekillendirdiği ve tarihi etkilediğini düşündükleri beş hikâye seçti. 35 ülkeden 108 yazar, akademisyen, gazeteci, eleştirmen ve çevirmenin sunduğu listenin ilke100’e giren eserleri belirlendi. Bu liste, kimileri artık konuşulmayan 33 farklı dilden roman, şiir, masal ve oyun içeriyordu. Listede, Homeros’un Odysseia destanı ilk sıraya yerleşti. Tom Amca’nın Kulübesi, “dünyayı biçimlendiren hikâye” tanımını herkesin farklı yorumladığını gösteriyordu. Homeros’un destanı kuşaklar boyunca aktarılırken, Harriet Beecher Stowe’un 1852’de yazdığı bu roman “ABD’de yaygın okunan ilk siyasi içerikli roman” olarak övgüye değer bulundu. Frankenstein, 1984, Parçalanma adlı romanlar da ilk beşe girdi. Burada iki kadın yazar yer alırken, ilk 100’e giren eserlerin 23’ü kadın yazarlara ait.

En fazla ismi anılan yazarlar ise kişi başına üç hikâye ile Shakespeare, Virginia Woolf ve Franz Kafka oldu. Yüz klasik arasına giren hikâyeler arasında dünya çapında az bilinenler de var. Örneğin Upton Sinclair’in Chicago Mezbahaları romanı etkili olmuş, gıda güvenliği ile ilgili federal yasaların çıkarılmasına ön ayak olmuştu. Saadat Hasan Manto’nun Toba Tek Singh romanında ise “Hindistan ile Pakistan’ın ayrılması sonrasında sınırdan delilerin transferi öyküsü ile iki ülkenin bölünmesinin neden olduğu travma anlatılıyor.Bu elbette nihai bir liste değil; bazı hikâyelerin neden uzun ömürlü olduğu ve yüzyıllar ve bin yıllar sonrasında bile nasıl yankı bulduğu konusunda bir tartışma başlatıyor daha çok. Ve bu hikâyeleri paylaşmak neden temel güdülerimizden biri: Bu öyle bir güdü ki bölünmüşlükleri aşmaya, değişime, hatta devrime yol açabiliyor.

[shinsengumi-archives]

Kumebe Masachika

Kumebe Masachika isn’t a well-known Shinsengumi member. Very little is known about him but I thought I should write him anyway just because like Hijikata Toshizou he too attempted to create an independent nation. He was born on April 17, 1841 in Settsudai-saka and joined the Shinsengumi in the first year of the Keiou on May. He was a Coporal and acted as an Army Scout. He too fought in Toba-Fushimi and returned to Edo in January. He fought along with Saitou Hajime (then known as Jirou Yamaguchi) in Buddha Hall on September and was mistakenly thought to have died. However he was able to escape and got in contact with some kindred minds from Mito. There he decides to go to Hachijo island for the sake of building an independent country along with Ikeda Shichisaburou (another Shinsengumi member). However they were caught in October Meiji 1 and was sent to the penitence group (I’m unsure if this is the same Penitence group Saitou belonged in perhaps not). After serving his sentence as a POW he is escorted to Tokyo and serves the army. In the 12th year he is a first lieutenant and retires from the army in the 19th year. Kumebe dies in Sendai-shi Miyagi on September 25, 1910.

Here is a picture of him…
