	Genroku, Saikaku, Basho
		The Japanese Renaissance, or Tokugawa Period (1600-1868), begins roughly a 100 years later than the Renaissance in England (1485-1660), but has a similar importance in literary achievement, and is built on essentially the same political and social bases.
		Ivan Morris says of the Genroku Period, "Strictly speaking, this period lasted from1688 to 1703, but in effect it was an entire cultural phase that reached its peak in the 1690s."
		Drama probably was the most important genre in Japan, too--for the floating world of the pleasure quarters and the great artists of the Japanese prints were strongly associated with the development of kabuki theatre (and we have already considered Chikamatsu and his part in the development of both kabuki and bunraku (the puppet theatre).

		And the third is Kenji Mizoguchi's two-part, four-hour Genroku Chushingura (usually translated as "The Loyal 47 Ronin of the Genroku Era"), being shown in Chicago for the first time in several years this weekend at the Film Center.
		Great narrative films, whether from Hollywood or France or Japan, are often searing because their visual style articulates the story's emotions, interpreting and intensifying the drama.
		Certainly Genroku Chushingura served the war with its message of obedience even to death and with its formal, stately imagery depicting individual honor only in the context of a larger social order.

	The Floating World (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Genroku era of Japanese history (roughly the late 17th to early 18th centuries) displayed many features (as recorded in art and fiction) that today are considered very postmodern.
		Certainly there are a great many similarities between contemporary western definitions of Postmodernism and Japanese society of the Genroku era and a study of these similarities can perhaps give light and depth to the understanding of contemporary Japanese society and to contemporary Western society as well.
		Although premodern and pre-industrial (in the Western sense) Japan of the Genroku period was highly sophisticated (this was mostly contained to the urban centers ñ Edo, Kyoto, Osaka, etcÖ) the rural and mountainous country side still played host to a simpler pastoral life.

		In Japan, although the history of the "kimono" is over 2,000 years old, the period of Genroku (1688-1704) has strongly affected the basic style of the "kimonos" even at present.
		However now, Arabic women, especially in the cities, have the opportunity to have the silk "kandura." They wear a "thoub," which is more finely designed than the "kundara," and women wear it on special occasions such as weddings, feast days and Independence Day.
		Basically, all Japanese women's "kimonos" have been dyed by indigo and made of silk from the era of Genroku to today.

	RETHINKING THE STORY OF THE 47 RONIN:
		The way to a greater historicity may have been paved by the kôdan tradition and its stronger sense of the actual event―particularly in the use of the historical names of the participants―but the line between history and fiction remained one that was never openly contested.
		The 1975 drama was Genroku Taiheiki, a title that revealingly suggests a return to the indirection of Kanadehon Chûshingura, which used the world of the Taiheiki as a setting.
		Genroku ryôran in 1999 seems to have exhausted popular interest in Chûshingura, and the anniversary celebrations of 2001-03 were muted and modest.

	Introduction to the Exhibit
		It is especially the bourgeois culture that evolved during the Genroku era (1788-1825) when the Japanese experienced rapid urban growth, regional specialization, and the establishment of a large economic middle class, that continues to inform modern Japanese notions of women, education, literature, the arts, and even the meaning of the geography and topography of Japan.
		The most important element of this Genroku era culture was the concept of the ukiyo or "floating world".
		Traditionally a Buddhist concept that referred to mankind's ever-changing and therefore unreliable existence, ukiyo came to mean the ever-changing world of pleasure and entertainment pursued by the middle class.

		From 1941 to 1943, the Zenshinza troupe sucessfully staged the full cycle, which was adapted for the screen by the director Mizoguchi Kenji with the same actors in a 2-part movie (1941 and 1942).
		Furthermore, plays such as, "Ôishi Saigo no Ichinichi", are so often heavy-handed in their approach; their, "meanings", are too obvious, and though they profess to consider the psychological depth of main characters, they often end up with one-dimensional moralising, as though the author were standing on a soapbox and lecturing the audience."
