	Ueda Akinari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ueda Akinari (上田秋成, 1734 - August 8, 1809) was a Japanese novelist, scholar, and waka poet.
		Born to an Osaka prostitute and an unknown father, he was adopted in his fourth year by a wealthy merchant who reared him in comfort and provided him with a good education.
		He inherited the Ueda family business when his foster father died, but lost it to a fire, after which he studied medicine and worked for some years as a physician.

		Ueda Akinari is known for his successful insinuation of the supernatural into everyday life and his keen understanding of the irrational implications of erotic attachment.

		A physician and scholar, Ueda Akinari is best remembered as a writer of ghost stories.

		Akinari acknowledges his debt to Korean literary sources in a short story, and also comments on the Japanese language and its potential to create misunderstanding, both in ancient and contemporary times.
		His approach to ancient Japanese history, literature, myth, and language put him at odds with the most prominent kokugaku scholar of his day, Motoori Norinaga, and the disagreement on interpretation of the texts and artifacts transmitted from ancient times is fortunately recorded in a series of exchanges, entitled Kagaika ("Clearing the Reeds," 1787-88).
		Akinari writes in two works about his observation of Korean embassies in Osaka, commenting on the difficulties the Japanese language must have posed to foreigners.

	Criticism: Familiarity of the Strange: Japan's Gothic Tradition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Akutagawa borrows the image of the burning carriage in "Hell Screen," and Kyoka's fascination with severed heads in The Castle Tower may have been inspired by the numerous decapitations and a military parade of heads in the Heike.(26) Most influential, however, are the inauspicious occurrences that bode disaster.
		Lafcadio Hearn reworks and gothicizes the story in "The Reconciliation" (1900).(35) Both Akinari's "The House amidst the Thickets" and "The Lust of the White Serpent" were adapted in Mizoguchi Kenji's film Ugetsu (1953).
		In the introduction to a later translation of Tales of Moonlight and Rain, Leon M. Zolbrod rejects Akinari's connection to the Western Gothic.

		Dan Harper is a film aficionado — in the bullfighting sense — who lives, for no particular reason, in the American Midwest.
		But of course, Mizoguchi must allow Genjiro to learn this for himself, at great cost to those he loves most.
		Just as the script for Rashomon was derived from two different stories by Akutagawa, the script for Ugetsu is based on two stories by the 18th century writer Akinari Ueda, from his collection Ugetsu Monogatari (Tales of the Moon and Rain).
