INTRODUCTION GENERAL REMARKS: CLASSICAL AND MODERN


The vast amount of scholarly research published each year on all periods of Japanese literature makes "keeping up" a daunting task, even for the most assid uous of bibliographers. One of the major ills that plagues the academic wo rld in Japan is the fact that much of the latest scholarship, often of the highest quality, lies buried and inaccessible in the pages of the myriad kiy and journals published by various universities and institutions. For a start, however, the follow ing hints shou ld be useful.

PRE-MODERN LITERATURE : Depending on your object, there are several paths to be followed in undertaking a bibliographic search. If you are beginning work with a particular tex t you haven't

encountered before, and need to start from square on e, the following steps should be useful. 1.Look up the work and author in the Nihon koten bungaku kenky shi d aijiten (Benseisha) or the older Nihon koten bungaku daijiten (Iwanami shoten). For certain genres, Kenky shiry Nihon koten bunga ku (Meiji shoin) is also helpfu l. 2. Go to the most recent special edition on the text, issue, or genre in question in Kokubungaku: kaishaku to kansh or Kokubungaku: Kaishaku to ky zai no kenky journals. 3. Look at the essays and bibliographies in the appropriate volume of standard compendia such as Shin koten bungaku taikei, Shin Nihon koten b ung aku taikei, Shinpen Nihon koten bungaku zensh , Nihon koten bungaku taikei and Nihon koten bungaku zensh . 4.Look at standard literary histories such as the Shinpen Nihon bungakushi or Nihon bungeishi, which provide context and bibliographic information. 5. Try the appropriate hikkei for a quick and convenient overview of recent criticism (or look in the Shin koten bungaku kenky hikkei for overall view).

6. You m ay also want to look at the appropriate volum e, if available, of the Nihon bungaku kenky shiry s sho (Y seid , 1969--), which provide selected articles on particular genres, authors, or works, and include useful bibliograp hies and histories of research. 7. To find out the state of the field on a particular author, text, or topic, look at the Kokubungaku nenkan. Kokubu ngaku Kenky Shiry kan, 1979-annual. Call no.: [REF] PL 7 01 .K82. It contains a

comprehensive overview of each year's new scholarship in the field of Japanese literature and is well indexed and categorized . Look at the last fifteen to twenty years. A good companion volume to see the actual articles mentioned in the Kokubungaku nenkan is the Kokubungaku nenjibetsu ronbunsha . 1980-. Call. No. PL 726.35 K597. This contains the actual journal articles in condensed print from hard to get journals and kiy . The volum es are divid ed by historical period (ch sei, etc.) and year for easy access. The series leaves ou t those major journals (such as Bungaku, K aishaku to kansho) that can be easily accessed. 8. If you have little time and wan t to bypass m ost of the above, you can turn to the Kan sh Nihon koten bungaku series or the Kenky shiry Nihon koten bungaku (Meiji shoin) both of which contain

extensive excerpts from the text, connected by summaries of plot, and accompanied by modern translation, glossary, and commentary. 9. For those who are teaching undergraduates, Japanese Literature in Foreign Languages: 19451990 can help you find translations into Western languages. For historical overviews and English-language bibliography, the relevant volume of the Asian Literature Bibliography series may be useful. A literary history in English can also be found in Donald Keene's Seeds in the H eart and Wo rld W ithin Walls ..

MODERN LITERATURE: There are several importance resources for research on modern Japanese literature. For scholarship old and new , the m ost important bibliograph y is the series beginning with With the

Kokugo kokubun kenky zasshi sakuin , wh ich covers both classical and modern literature.

exception of the years 1932-37, this series indexes both journal articles an d monographs. For month ly prose descriptions of literature trends and issues, Bungei nenkan (annual from 1949) is also very useful. Scholars of contem porary literature should be aware of several important journals: much recent critical debate has gone on in the pages of Gendai shis (B804 .G451) and Hihy k kan (PN80 .H54), while Gunz (AC95 .J3 G 8), Bungei (PL700 .B 843 ), Shinch (PL700 .S4), and Yuriika (PL731 .Y 8) all publish important works of literature and criticism. To locate primary texts in the zensh of individual writers, you should turn to the Gendai Nihon bunga ku s ran shiriizu (M/S X-6). For translations into European languages, the most complete index is the Japan P.E .N. Club 's Mo dern Japanese Literature in Translation, 1945-1990 . For translations into

Japanese of Western works, use the Meiji Taish Sh wa hon'yaku bungaku mokuroku . For quick reference, the Shinch Nihon bu ngaku jiten is an essential desktop tool. For more detailed information on individual authors, however, the single-volume edition of K dansha's Kindai Nihon bungaku daijiten is more complete. In English, there is alw ays Donald Keene's encyclopedic Dawn to the West , which has an

excellent index for quick facts.

For more in depth searches, scan the pages of the Kokubungaku nenkan , issued annually, bein g sure to glance at the first section which provides useful summaries of developments by period. For developments in contemporary literature, the Bungei nenkan , also issued annually, is very useful.

PART I: TEXTS AND MULTI-VOLUME COMPENDIA


PREMODERN COLLECTIONS
Nihon koten bungaku taikei. Iwanami Shoten. 100 volumes, 2 supplements (see under section IX for information on the sup plem ents). Call no: 910.82 N5 74. The Iwanam i NK BT , as it is comm only know n, is generally regarded as the standard authority for primary textual material from the pre-modern period. Citations of primary texts are usually made from this source. The exact format varies, but usually there is a commentary in front of each text (in the first volume of a m ulti-volume text), and , in the back, an extremely precise, line-by-line exposition of every textual variant (in each volum e of a multi-volume text). Nihon koten bungaku taikei sakuin . Iwanami Sh oten, 1963-1969. 2 vols. (Nihon koten bungaku taikei bekkan). Call no.: REF 910.82 N574 Suppl 1 & 2. IHJ: 1518. Part one covers NKBT volumes 1-66, while part two covers NKB T 67-100; each part is divided into three sections: an index of words and subjects; an index of waka, haiku, and kay^, (with the addition of kanshi an d wasan [Buddhist hymns] in the second part); and a listing of the table of contents of each volum e of the NK BT, including the editors' names, the chapters, maps, pictures, critical essays, and so on. Nihon koten bungaku zensh . Sh gakkan, 1970-1976. 60 vols. Call no.: 910.82 N5746. The Sh gakkan N KB Z is the newer of the two complete sets. Fine-tuned material like the tex tual variants is missing, but a numb er of ind exes in the back of each volume make reading and fin ding passages easy. In terms of readability, the modern translation that occup ies the lower quarter of the page throughout every text can be extremely helpful. Furthermore, the punctuation is much less obtrusive in the Sh gakkan than in the Iwanami. The headnotes are saved for additional information, which is sometimes more extensive than that in the Iwanam i. Shin Nihon koten bungaku taikei. Iwanami Shoten, 1989-. Call no.: shelved individually; see CLIO. This has extensive coverage, especially of Edo texts that are not covered in the NKBT . The critical essays are more up-to-date and each volume includ es a good bibliography. Shinpen Nihon koten bungaku zensh . Sh gakkan, 1994-.Call no.: PL753 .S55 1994. This is the Shogakukan m ore recent version of the NKB Z. The format is similar, but the volumes now sport up-todate bibliographies (som e cursory, som e astonishingly thorou gh). Shinch Nihon koten sh sei. Shinch sha. Call no.: shelved individually; see CLIO. This series can be particularly useful for the Edo and M uromachi period comm entaries listed in the back of many volumes. A standard collection edited by well-know n sch olars, w hose notes and differing choices of variant texts make them useful supplements to the other compendia. Kan sh Nihon koten bungaku . 35 vols. Kadokawa Shoten. Call no.: shelved individually, see CLIO. Although these books should not be cited as sources of research, they can be useful to those who are studying for orals or who need to be able to teach others about books they have yet to read themselves. The excerpts are longer than those in the Kenky shiry Nihon koten bungaku series, with footnotes, m odern translation, brief discussion of the importance of the excerpt, and connecting summary; there is also an overview and summary of the entire work in each introduction, and a series of ten brief essays on key topics in the back of each volume. A fairly good bibliography follows. MODERN COLLECTIONS Nihon kindai bungaku taikei . Kadokawa shoten. 60 vols. Call no: 910.82 N 5754. This is the most recent and best annotated collection of modern Japanese literature. It is especially useful for early Meiji texts, such as Tsubouchi Sh y 's novel T sei shosei katagi, which are sometimes more difficult to read than even much older classical texts. Each volume includes a kaisetsu treating the authors included. Gendai Nihon bungaku taikei. Chikuma shob . Abou t 100 vols.

Meiji bungaku zensh . 99 vols + index. Chikuma shob , 1969-89. Call no.: 910.82 M473. Although not annotated, this collection encompasses an enormous range of texts, including essays and historical writing from the period. Each volume has a selected bibliography at the back. Kindai bungaku hy ron taikei , 10 vols., K adokawa shoten, 1971-75 (PL 726.6 .K 49 1971): Extensive collection of critical essays from the 1870s. A good place to go to figure out the culturally relevant criticisms on variety of topics. Vols. 1-3, Meiji; vols. 4-5, Taish ; vol. 6, Taish /Sh wa; vol. 7, Sh wa; vol. 8, shiron, karon, hairon; vol. 9, Engekiron; vol. 10, nenpy . Sh wa hihy taikei , 4 vols., Banch shob , 1968 (no call number available): Although it does not cover the entire Sh wa Period, it is the best anthology for Sh wa criticism, both literary and cultural, up to the mid-1960s. Gendai Nihon bungaku rons shi , ed. Hirano Ken, et. al., 3 vols., Miraisha, 1956. Collection of criticism beginning from the 1920s to the mid-1940s, which have contributed to a specific debate within the intellectual circles during this period (ex. Novel without Plot@ debate between Akutagawa Ry nosuke and Tanizaki Jun =ichir ). Modan toshi bungaku , 10 vols., H eibonsha, 1990 (Shelved separately in Starr Library stacks): A collection of short stories and essays w hich appeared in the 1920s and the 1930s. A s the title suggests, it focuses on the development of urban literature and culture. C ontains obscure w orks w hich would take lots of time to unearth on one =s own. For the title of individ ual volum es, see attachment. POETRY COLLECTIONS

Shinpen kokka taikan . Kadokawa Shoten, 1983-1987. 10 volum es. (Revised edition of the Kokka taikan , 1951-1958) . Call no.: PL 758 .S4955 1983. This work collects and indexes the entire corpus of classical poetry com posed in waka form throu gh the end of the medieval era. Each of the ten volumes is divided into two parts, the first collecting the texts of the poems and the second providing an index. The classification is as follows: 1) 2) Rokuj . 3) 4) poem s) 5) Utaawase I, Kag akush , Mo nogatari , Nikki, etc. (Poems comp osed for poetry contests, Shikash I (Personal collections of individual authors) Shikash II and Teis ka I (more personal collections and sequences with fixed numbers of Cho kusensh (Imperial C ollections), e.g. Kokinsh , Shinkokinsh , Shisensh I (Collections edited p rivately without imperial sanction), e.g. Many sh , Kokin

collections of exem plary poems, and poems occurring in the prose contexts of stories, diaries, etc.) 6) 7) 8) 9) Shisensh II (more privately edited collections as in no. 2 above as well as variant texts). Shikash III (more person al collections plus variant texts). Shikash IV Shikash V

Utaawase II, Supplement Un less one knows w hich collection (im perial, private, story, etc.) the poem is from, it is best to begin with the Cho kusensh volume and then work through the volu mes in order. (For useful lists of collections, see The Princeton Companion to Classical Japanese Literature , pp.341-348.) It is important to note that each poem is indexed five times under each of the five ku (lines of verse) that constitute a classical waka, which makes the index especially usefu l for tracing partial quotations or poetic allusions within single poem s.

Nihon kag aku taikei. Sasaki N obu tsuna, ed. Kazama Shobo, 1957. Main edition and sequ el. Call no.: 911.208 Sa7. This is a very important multi-volume source of poetic treatises and commentaries on waka. Shikash taisei. Heianch utaawase taisei. Meiji shoin. Kinsei waka sensh sh sei. Ueno Y z , ed. Meiji shoin.

PART II: MODERN SCHOLARSHIP


JOURNALS AND COLLECTIONS OF ARTICLES
There are literally thousands of journals and kiy published by literature departments at different universities around Japan; the usefulness of the material varies widely. Among the m ost widely read and important journals are: Bungaku . Published quarterly by Iwanami Shoten. Call no.: PL 700.B75. Generally contains excellent scholarship, mostly on Japanese literature, pre-modern and mod ern. Every issue is a tokush , but only about half of each issue devoted to the p articularl topic. Kokugo to kokubunga ku . Tokyo University journal, published monthly by Shibund . Call no.: PL 501.K65. Kokugo kokubun. Kyoto University journal, pu blished monthly by Chu Tosho Shu ppan H akk . Call no.: PL 501.K66 These two journals are associated with two major universities in the field. Kokugo to kokubungaku has more supplementary information, including tables of contents for the previous and following issues, and an index in back listing recent issues of literature journals and the m ajor articles to be found within them. It also usually contains a larger number of shorter articles, as well as book reviews. T here is a cumulative index in volume 60 (1983). Kokugo kokubun is somewhat drier, only fifty or so pages, usually dom inated b y three long articles. Kokubungaku: Kaishaku to kansh . Published monthly by Shibund . Call no.: PL 700. K65 Kokubungaku: Kaishaku to ky zai no kenky . Published monthly by Gakut sha. Call no.: PL 700. B75 These two journals, Koku bungaku: Kaishaku to kansh (popularly known as "Kaishaku"), and Kokubungaku: Kaishaku to ky zai no kenky (popularly known as "Kokubungaku"), are published for a broader aud ience, for example, kokubungaku undergraduates writing a senior thesis, and includes articles that are often surveys of the field. Look for the most recent special issue on the topic in question; most major texts or authors (e.g. Heike monogatari or Saigy ) have a tokush devoted to them every year, while a tokush on a less central text or author might appear every three years or so. At the back of the section

devoted to the sub ject of the special issue is a comprehensive bibliography of recent scholarship on the topic. This is a convenient place to go when beginning research in a n ew field. Nihon bungaku. A respectable journal on classical and modern Japanese literature put out by the Nihon bungaku ky kai, one of the central organizations of Japanese literary scholars. Nihon bungaku kenky shiry s sho, Yuseido. 100 volumes. Anthologies of articles on major

texts, genres, and authors. Very useful selections of important articles that are otherwise hard to obtain. Categorized by author or text from ancient to modern. In the back of each volume there is a historical survey of scholarship. Nihon bungaku kenky shiry shinsh , 30 vols., Y seid . A sequel to Nihon bungaku kenky shiry s sho, this collection updates it with more recent essays. A supplement and not a replacement to Nihon bungaku kenky shiry s sho.
Kokubungaku nenjibetsu ronbunsh . 1980-. Call. No. PL 726.35 K 597. This contains the actual journal articles in condensed print from hard to get journals and kiy . The volumes are divided by historical period (ch sei, etc.) and year for easy access. The series leaves out those major journals (such as Bungaku, Kaishaku to kansho) that can be easily accessed. Excellent resource.

JOURNAL INDEXES Nihon bungaku kenky bunken y ran 1965-1974. Nichigai Associates, 1976-77. 3 parts in 2 volumes. Call no.: Z3308.L5 N44.

This is the best all-round index to literature journals. It lists the journals alphabetically and gives the contents of each issue. Indispensable for seeing the content of journals in the annex. From Meiji 1 to 1989. Nijusseiki bunken y ran taikei: Nihon bungaku kenky bunken y ran. Kinokuniya shoten, 1996. Ref. Z3308. L5 N432 1996.

This is a dictionary of critical and theoretical jargon, organized in goj on order, and including gairaigo in katakana form, words that have been adopted from other langu ages and translated into kanji, and words created in Japan to describe new ideas. The entries explain the origin of the word, how and when it appeared in Japan, its alternate translations, what it meant originally in the original language, what it has come to mean in Jap anese, etc. The entries not only cover recent additions, but also include Sanskrit-

derived Buddh ist terms, etc. Kadokawa gairaigo jiten . Kadokawa shoten, 1977 (2nd edition). Call no.: REF PL684 .A72 1977. This standard loanword dictionary contains more than 27,000 words, chosen from a variety of sources. An extremely useful dictionary with very informative entries. Gendai y go no kiso chishiki. Jiy Kokuminsha, 1948-. Annual. Call no.: PL684.G38 1983 (813.09 J56 for pre-1982 editions). T he oldest annual of new and current term s in Japanese, useful for finding recent terms and great fun for browsing. Althou gh there is considerable overlap from one year to the next. terms are eventually dropped when no longer current. There is no cumulative index. Imidasu . Sh eisha,

1987-. Annual. Call no.: REF PL684 .I44. IHJ: 1364. A new rival to the previous entry, with which it is competing hotly. Ateji gairaigo jiten . Kashiwa shob , 1979. Call no.: REF PL6 84 .A 84 1979. This is a useful

dictionary, especially for anyone using Bakumatsu-Meiji texts. It contains foreign words and phrases that have been transliterated into kanji; they are organized by stroke count, with readings given in katakana (there is also a goj on index of readings at the back). Place names and personal names (e.g. Adam Smith) are included, and the language of origin is given for each word. Ingo jiten . Umegaki M inoru, ed. T ky d , 1956. Call no.: REF PL695 .U 4. T his is not so much a dictionary of words that are current as it is one of words that were; it includes slang, jargon and dialect words in common use from the Nara period until "gendai." Entries give basic definitions, a code for the group using the wo rd (farmers, merchants, thieves, wives/courtesans, samurai, and so on), and a code for the periods in which it was used. Words can be looked up by reading, by topic (sex, people,

equipm ent/tools, money, prisons, and so on), and by group. This is a useful resource when looking up unusual words or investigating suspected "double entendres."

PART V: DATING AND LITERARY HISTORY


CHRONOLOGIES Nihon bungaku dai nenpy . f sha. 1986. PL 719.5 I26 1995. This and the next chronology are indispensible for getting the accepted dates of composition of texts, birth and death of authors, etc.
Nihon bunka s g nenpy . Iwanami Shoten, 1990. Call no.: R EF DS 821 .N 535 1990. This compendious resource is one of the best for getting dates of texts and authors. It correlates Japanese and European calendar, the reign periods of emperors and sh guns, the dates of texts, and various political and historical even ts. Gendai Nihon bungaku dainenpy . 2 vols. (Vol.1: Meiji: vol.2: Taish ) . Call no.: REF PL726 .55 G414 1968. Poetry, tanka, haiku, novels, drama, children's literature, miscellaneous essays, criticism, and relevant events. Index of authors with pen names, or difficult-to-read titles of works and their authors. This is good for seeing what was published in what year, but unfortunately it includes no author/title index. LITERARY HISTORIES Nihon bungaku zenshi. Gakut sha, 1979. Ichiko Teiji, ed. 6 vols. Call no.: 910.2 Ic32. Together with the Nihon bungakushi, this is one of the most useful literary histories of Japan. It is divided by time period into six volum es, each edited by a specialist. The volum es are organ ized as follow s: (1) j dai, (2) ch ko,

(3)ch sei, (4) kinsei, (5) kindai, (6) gendai. Each volume con tains general essays on the development of various movements and genres, along w ith essays on texts that are im portant or representative. T he texts covered in this history are often not the same ones covered in the Nihon bungakushi, so it's useful to look at both series not only for the overview sections but also for the different texts covered. There are extensive (though now outdated) bibliographies in the back of each volume, and indexes of authors and titles of works discussed. Nihon bungakushi. Hisamatsu Sen'ichi, ed. Shibundo, 1975 (expanded new edition). 8 vols. Call no.: 910 .2 H6223. At one time this was the best overall literary history. It is similar to the Nihon bungaku zenshi in its approach to literary history, but in many ways it is more comprehensive. The volumes are divided as follows: (1) j dai, (2) ch ko, (3) ch sei, (4) kinsei I, (5) kinsei II, (6) kindai I, (7) kindai II, (8) nenpy (a 533-page timeline of literary works extending from Emperor Jimmu to 1975). Essays about the grand sweep of history appear at the front of each volume, followed again by essays on more individualized topics and texts. There are several indexes includ ing title and author. Nihon bungaku shinshi. Shibund , 1990. 6 vols. Call no.: PL 716.N535 1990. Th is originally started as a special issue of Kaishaku to kansh . It is not as comprehensive as the Nihon bungaku zenshi or Nihon bungakushi, but the references in the head notes are more up-to-date. Each volum e consists of ten or so essays by different scholars. The volumes are divided as follows: (1) kodai I, (2) kodai II, (3) ch sei, (4) kinsei, (5) kindai, (6) gendai. Each volum e includ es a timeline and bibliography. Nihon bungeishi: Hy gen no nagare . Kawade shob shinsh a, 1986-. 5 vols. to date. Call no.: PL 716.N58 1986. Highly recommended. This source is best viewed as a complement to the more traditional literary histories. The emphasis is on key topics. This work is also unusual in that it includes Ainu and Okinawan literature. The volumes include: (1) kodai I, (2) kodai II, (3) ch sei, (4) kinsei, (5) kindai I. The essays provide focused bibliographies which list editions of prim ary texts as well as works of scholarship. Nihon bungaku no rekishi. Kadokawa shoten, 1968. 12 volum es and supp lement. Call no.: 910.2 N573. A more socio-historical approach to literary history, focusing on the contexts in which works were written. Emphasis is placed on oral literature and popular culture, as well as on readers. There is a supplementary collection of map s, with a sep arate index. Iwanami k za Nihon bungakushi . PL 716. I93 1995. 18 vols. Latest scholarship and approaches from ancient to modern literature. The essays can be highly specialized. Highly recommended for new directions in contemporary scholarship. Nihon bungakushi. 5 vols. Y f hikaku sensho series. 1979. Volume titles: J dai Nihon bungakushi, Ch ko Nihon bungakushi, Ch sei Nihon bungakushi, Kinsei Nihon bungakushi (2 volumes). A very helpful and well w ritten series on premodern literary history. Subdivided by period and by topics and issues. Y hikaku also put out a multi-volume literary history in the Y hikaku s sho series in 1976, which is also good and structured along similar lines but by different editors. Kindai bungaku . Ed. Miyoshi Y ukio, Takemori Teny . Y hikaku. 1978. 10 vols. The same series as above but for modern literature. Moves chronologically, but each volume has a special topic. Jidaibetsu Nihon bu ngakushi jiten , 6 vols., Y seid , 1987 (PL 707 .J53 1987): Covering the ancient to the post-WW II period, this work provides a literary history of each periodC j dai, ch ko, ch sei, kinsei, kind ai, and gendai C by offering short essays (5-15 pages) written by the major scholars in the field on variety of topics. A lthough written towards school teachers and undergradu ates, these essays are extensive in their topics and provide a good introduction to a specific research topic. The extensive index is useful for cross-referencing, but the major problem with this work is that it does not provide a bibliography for secondary materials. K za Sh wa bungaku shi , 5 vols., Y seid , 1988 (PL 726.65 .K69 1988): A collection of

essays organized according to a specified subject topic, this work aims to reconsider the literary history of Sh wa from a new perspective. Unlike Jidaibetsu Nihon bungakushi jiten and Nihon bungaku shinshi, the essays in this work, although organized into various subject headings, are independent works so their connections are sometimes thin. However, this does not change the fact that the essays are interesting in their fresh approach and their examination of topics which are normally not discussed in an organized volume such as this work. . Nihon bungaku o yomikaeru , 20 vols., Y seid , 1995 (shelved separately in Starr Library stacks): Published as Y seid =s next series after Nihon bungaku kenky shiry shinsh , this series aims to reconsider various fields organized by subject rather than author or work through a new perspective. Written by both upcoming and established scholars in the field, the essays contained within it are innovating and interesting.

Nihon bungeishi. Kon ishi Jin'ichi. Kodansha, 1985 -1992. 5 vols. Call no.: PL7 16 .K 648 1985. A History of Japanese Literature . Edited by Earl Miner. Princeton University Press, 19 84-1991. 3 vols. Call no.: PL717 .K6213 1984. A one-man literary history with idiosyncratic terminology and periodization. However, Konishi Jin'ichi unconventional perspective and comparative bent make these works valuable supplem ents to more traditional literary histories. They are also notable for their attention to kanbun writing, their reference to Korean and Chinese parallels and influences, and their inclusion o f Ainu and Okinawan literature. The five Japanese volumes run through the modern period, but the English translation stopped after three volumes. The three English volumes are: (1) The Archaic and Ancient Ages, (2) The Early M iddle A ges, and (3) Th e High M iddle A ges.

Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1984. (Volume One: Fiction; Volume Two: Poetry, Drama, Criticism). Call no.: PL726 .55 K 39 1984. Each chapter is followed by notes and a bibliography which lists selected works of scholarship in Japanese and English, and each volume has a glossary at the end. Important names and titles are provided, with dates, and there are biographical sketches of all major figures. Coverage is relatively compreh ensive, although the modern volumes om it discussion of authors who were alive at the tim e of its writing. Un til the completion of this history, the only full-length English-language survey of Japanese literature was W . G. Aston's History of Japanese Literature (1889). Kindai Nihon no hihy . Ed. Karatani Kojin. Fukutake shoten. 1990. 4 vols. History of m odern literary criticism. Separate volum es on M eiji, Taish and Sh wa. Quality uneven depending on volume, but overall very stimulating and highly recommended.

PART VI: ENGLISH REFERENCE AND TRANSLATION


REFERE NCE W ORKS IN ENG LISH Japanese Literature in Foreign Languages: 1945-1990. Japan Book Publishers Association, 1990. Call no.: PL 726.55.J37 1990g. M /S: X-19. Probably the most complete listing of literary translations of Japanese works into European languages. It includes less well-known short stories and essays, and translations published in more out-of-the-way journals. They are listed by original author. Japanese Literature in European Languages : A Bibliography . Compiled by Japan P.E.N. Club. Tokyo: The Club, 1961. Call no.: Z3308.L5 J35 19 61. T his volume only includes works translated before 1956, but it is fun to peruse, as it goes back much farther in tim e, to works more useful for the perspective they provide on historical perceptions of Japan than for their literary accuracy. Biographical Dictionary of Japanese Literature . Ed. Hisamatsu Sen'ichi. Kodansha International, 1976. Call no.: REF PL 723 .B5; Butler REF R049.9 .B523. M/S: mentioned pp. 64, 127; IHJ: 0207. Hisamatsu, who also edited the Nihon bungaku shi, provides the traditional Japanese viewpoint on a fairly extensive list of major canonical authors. The book is organized by time period and alphabetized, with an outdated but lengthy bibliography at the back, arranged by author. Guide to Japanese Prose . Marks, Alfred. Boston: G.K. Hall, 1984. Call no.: REF Z3308 .L5 M37 1984. Guide to Japanese Drama. Pronko, Leonard C. Boston: G.K. Hall, 1984. Call no.: REF Z3308 .L 5 P76 1984. Guide to Japanese Poetry. Rimer, J. Thomas. Boston: G.K. H all, 1984. Call no.: REF Z3308 .L5 R54 1984. These guides are part of the Asian Literature Bibliography series. They are geared toward the non -specialist, and provide information on available critical works and translations in English. These guides are helpful for compiling a reading list for a course and provide a good picture of what is available in English. One obvious and seriou s limitation of these works is the fact that they are somewhat outdated, a problem that will only get worse. Japanese Folk Literature: A Core Collection and Reference Guide. Joanne P. Algarin. New York: R.R. Bowker Co., 1982. Call no.: REF Z3 308.L5 A 44 1982. This extensive and well-researched resource is divided into six sections: (1) a bibliography of works on Japanese folklore, extensively annotated w ith tables of contents for books and comprehensive summ aries of articles; (2) a bibliography of Japanese folktale anthologies in English, with extensive summaries of many if not all of the folk tales included in each anthology; (3) a series of short summ aries of twenty-six "classic folktales of Japan," w hich means all the folktales the editor has found that are n ot included in the anthologies in section two. Princeton Com panion to Japanese Literature . Earl Miner et al, eds. Princeton U niversity Press, 1985. Call no.: R EF PL726.1 M495 1985. This is a massive compendium of inform ation otherwise

unavailable in English, but it should be used with extreme caution, as errors and inaccuracies are unfortunately numerous. Many of the problems are discussed in a forty-three-page review of the work by Edwin Cranston (Harvard Jou rnal of Asiatic Studies 53:1 [June 1993]), which goes through the book page by page, correcting errors and omission s.

PART VII: ENCYCLOPEDIAS


Dai Nihon hyakka jiten (Encyclopedia Japonica). 23 vols. Sh gakkan, 1972-1973. Call no.: AE 35.2 D3. Fukuda: A84. Now superceded by the new version Nihon daihyakka zensho (Encyclopedia Nipponica). 25 vols. Sh gakkan, 1984-89. Call no.: [library does plan to get]. IHJ: 1002. In the older Sh gakkan work, all major articles are signed, and helpful bibliographic references are appended to many articles. In comparison to the new H eibonsha work, the text is less encum bered with references to names of works, authors, and dates, so it is generally easier to use for quick reference. Heibonsha Daihyakka jiten . 16 vols. H eibonsha, 1984-85. Call no.: AE 35.2 .D24 1984. IHJ: 1001; Fukuda: A83. Sekai Daihyakka Jiten. 35 vols. Heibonsha, 1988. Call no.: AE 35.2 .S4 1988. The Heibonsha is generally acknowledged to be the most comprehensive and up-to-date encyclopedia in the Japanese language. The tw o Heibonsha encyclopedias listed are basically the same work. The increase in the number of volumes for the 1988 edition is largely the result of the thicker paper on which it is printed. Both editions also have a comprehensive index in both wabun and ^bun. The ^bun index is particularly useful as a reference for the proper transliteration of European language names, places, etc. into Japanese, while the wabun index may be used to trace katakana designations back into their original languages.

Super Nipponica Light Edition. Sh gakukan. CD rom. This features the Nihon daihyakka zensho (Sh gakukan), the 1989 revised version, plus the Kokugo daijiten (Sh gakukan), a condensed version of the ten volume Kokugo daijiten (without all the examples). For a student of literature or history, this is a marvelous combination since you go to an entry in the encyclopedia and click on any word for a reference to either the encyclopedia or the dictionary instantaneously. Another feature that is very useful is the printout and the copy feature, which allows the user to create a computer file from any entry. The entries have furigana on names and difficult kanji, making this useful for students. Sekai daihyakkan jiten, nenkan, benran, chizu. Hitachi-Heibonsha. CD rom. This features the second edition of the Seikai daihyakkakan jiten by Heibonsha, plus many other features, including chronologies and maps. The comprehensiveness of the entries make this an indispensable computer tool. As with the Super Nipponica, each entry comes with many links to related topics, which are extremely helpful. The Sekai daikyakkan jiten is far more comprehensive than the Super Nipponica, but it does not use furigana and is not linked to a comprehensive dictionary as the Super Nipponica is.

PART VIII: BIBLIOGRAPHIC GUIDES IN ENGLISH


Herschel Webb, Research in Japanese Sources: A Guide. Columbia University Press, 1965. Call no.: REF DS803 .W 38. This book was created by Hershel W ebb for the Columbia course on Japanese bibliography that he taught from the early 1960s until his death in 1982. Th e work follows closely the actual syllabus of Webb's course, and includes problems for solution. Although many of the reference

works that Webb describes have since been replaced, this book remains a valuable tool, particularly for the chapters on historical source materials, and for the descriptions of such unchanging matters as premodern measurements. Naomi Fukuda, ed., Bibliography of Reference Works for Japa nese Studies. University of Michigan, 1979. Call no: REF Z33 06 .B48. M/S: V-4/5; IHJ: 0020. At the time of its publication in 1979, this work was the leading guide to Japanese reference and bibliography. It w as based primarily, b ut not ex clusively, on the U niversity of M ichigan holdin gs (so that the LC call nu mbers listed do not necessarily correspon d to Starr's holdings). It covers bibliographies and reference works through 1977, and is devoted almost exclusively to Japanese-language works. This work is divided into three sections, General W orks, Humanities, and Social Sciences, which are arranged according to subject. Subjects NOT include are education, law, science, and technology. The items listed always include a short description, one of the best points about the work. There is a title index. A Guide to Reference Books for Japanese Studies (Japanese title: Nihon kenky f no tame no sank ^ tosho ). The International House of Japan Library, 1989. About $15. Call no.: REF Z3306. G84. M/S: V4/5. This was specifically designed to complement and update the Fuku da w ork above, but by no means to replace it. The book is arranged according to subject, but includes an author/title index for Part I (Englishlanguage), and a title index for Part II (Japanese-language). Many (but not all) of the items include short descriptions. Note that most of the English-language reference books are, according to the preface, available at the International H ouse library. It also includes list of government publications that appear in English, has a useful list of 61 English-language journals that focus on Japan. P art II, on Japanese-language reference sources, focuses on recent publications and items "easy to use." It also includes information on electronic databases and CD -ROMs, although this is quickly becoming outdated. Yasuko Makino and M asaei Saito, A Student Guide to Japanese Sou rces in the Hum anities. Michigan Papers in Japanese Studies, Number 24. Center for Japanese Studies, The University of Michigan, 1994. Call no.: REF DS8 01 .M53 no. 24 (also one copy in stacks). The book is intended as an update of Hershel W ebb's Research in Japanese Sources: A Guide (1965, see ab ove). Like Webb's book, it is designed as an overall introductory textbook, and includes problem s to be solved.
