"Nomura Touni's Exile to Himeshima: Reading 'Yume Kazoe' and 'Himeshimaniki'" Miwako Asano Price: ¥4180 Unread, but with some minor stains. Will be shipped in a plastic bag and envelope. "The author's intentions are threefold: First, to transcribe the original text as faithfully as possible. While there was no unified kana usage in the Edo period, from a modern perspective, there is a commonality in the written language, making it understandable to readers from any region. This kana usage appears to be a mix of the so-called 'modern kana usage' and 'historical kana usage.' These reflect the characteristics of feudal society in the writing, and the author believes that they should not be arbitrarily rewritten from a modern perspective when transcribing. Second, to provide annotations for difficult words. Finally, to read this diary as a whole while considering the historical background in which 'Yume Kazoe' and 'Himeshimaniki' were created." #MiwakoAsano #Miwako_Asano #Book #JapaneseLiterature/Essays
