No full textMaterials for Art Research: Okada Saburôsuke’s Letters to Kuroda Seiki
No full textThe Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties retains 13 letters from Okada Saburôsuke addressed to Kuroda Seiki. While this indicates the depth of their connection, the total number is extremely small, compared to the number of letters from other artists close to Kuroda.
Examination of these letters reveals script by several different hands, so clearly several different people acted as transcribers for Okada’s letters. The main reason that Okada asked others to write his letters for him was that he himself believed his handwriting was poor and thus did not want to write. However, there was an even greater, and more suitable, reason than just not wanting to write for the transcription by others of the eight letters written while he was in Kyoto and Nara.
In 1896 (Meiji 29), Okada set out for Nara to study ancient art, prior to traveling to France as a Ministry of Education overseas student, upon the recommendation of Okakura Kakuzô, then president of the Tokyo Bijutsu Gakkô. During his stay in Kansai Okada was gravely ill first with a cold and then typhoid, and was forced to recuperate in Kyoto. In other words, more so than bad handwriting, during his illness and recuperation he was not able to actually sit up at his desk and take up a writing brush. He was helped during that period by Ishida Masutoshi, Nakamura Katsujirô and his older sister, Nakano Suga. They wrote his letters for him during that time.
Given that these letters cannot be considered to have been penned by the author himself, in the case of Okada Saburôsuke, not only were the number of letters extremely few, they also have the special characteristic of being written by others. And yet for those reasons, when we consider Okada Saburôsuke’s letters, determining which of the contents were actually his thoughts and which those of his amanuenses provides an opportunity to consider the human network around Okada at the time the letters were written.journal articl
Seiza Meditation and Torajiro Okada for Naoe Kinoshita
No full textapplication/pdfNaoe Kinoshita told people around him that he suffers from depression. This was causing her various difficulties in his social activities. During this time, he came across Torajiro Okada's Seiza meditation. In the period after the Russo- Japanese War, the physical and mental health issue attracted many peopleʼs attention. The Shuyō mental training boom was one such phenomenon. A representative example is the “Okada method of Seiza meditation,” invented by Torajiro Okada. This paper discusses the relationship between the Shuyō mental training boom of the time and “nervous breakdown”. It also attempts to reconsider the Okada method of Seiza meditation in relation to the “depression of early old age” brought about by the Russo- Japanese War. The role of Kinoshita in developing the Okada method of Seiza meditation is also highlighted. The author clarified Torajiro Okadaʼs ideological tendencies and limitations through Kinoshitaʼs commentary. In addition, his encounter with the common people via Okada and with Isomaru, a fisherman poet, profoundly influenced his later life. It is also noteworthy that in the course of his Seiza meditation, Naoe conducted systematic research on Kamakura Buddhism and the historical significance of the advent of Jesus.departmental bulletin pape
