The kind of Edo no ryugaku seen in Ishikawa Jun and Nagai Kafu might be seen as a kind of counter-countermodernism.

So I talked about you on my youtube vlog and I linked your site! I dig your blog. Youtube is down at the moment, so I can't link you, but my channel is: www.youtube.com/misshannahminx

Much love! xoxoxoxox,

Christy is right. You ought to situate this essay in the broader context of "literary metamorphoses." You might want to take a look at Shirane's essay "Lyricism and Intertextuality," in which he discusses this subject of parody as a metaphor for the "mutability of existence."

Some other important themes you might want to explore in order to broaden your topic: metamorphosis, transmutation, particularly relating to the Noh theater.

Ian,

She tried. The original was too difficult. Have you looked at it? It's harder to understand than classical Japanese.

Tommy Matsuzaki,

Why doesn't your mother just read it in the original, instead of having this Beholdmyswarthyface moron try and explain it to her?

Thanks, Beholdmyswarthyface. I'll show this to Mother. She'll be thrilled.

And how'd you find that picture of Mother taken in the relocation camp during the war? Have you been snooping through our photo albums? She was quite the looker, in her youth, wouldn't you say?

Is it Stephen Greenblatt you have in mind when you speak of "negotiations"? Greenblatt’s theory of “negotiations” is developed in his book Shakespearean Negotiations, in which he “argues that works of art, however intensely marked by the creative intelligence and private obsessions of individuals, are the products of collective negotiation and exchange.” You might want to check it out, and compare with what Ishikawa Jun is saying.
