These travelogues reflected a changing view of the West and changing artistic sensibilities in the long-standing Japanese literary tradition of travel writing (kikoōbungaku). This book shows that overseas Meiji-period travel writers struck out to create a dynamic new type of travel literature, one that had a solid foundation in traditional Japanese kikōbungaku yet also displayed influence from the West. Musashino in Tuscany specifically examines the poetic imagery and allusion in these travelogues and reveals that when Japanese traveled to the West in the mid-nineteenth century, the images they wrote about tended to be associated not with places initially discovered by the Japanese traveler but with places that already existed in Western fame and lore. And unlike imagery from Japanese traveling in Japan, which was predominantly nature based, Japanese overseas travel imagery was often associated with the manmade world. 2020-09-03T13:55:14Z 2020-09-03T13:55:14Z 2020 book ONIX_20200903_9780472901975_18 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/41573 eng Michigan Monograph Series in Japanese Studies application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9780472901975.pdf https://cdcshoppingcart.uchicago.edu/Cart2/ChicagoBook.aspx?ISBN=9780472038305&press=umich University of Michigan Press U of M Center For Japanese Studies 10.3998/mpub.9340158 10.3998/mpub.9340158 e07ce9b5-7a46-4096-8f0c-bc1920e3d889 0314e571-4102-4526-b014-3ed8f2d6750a U of M Center For Japanese Studies 50 311 [grantnumber unknown] National Endowment for the Humanities NEH open access
