Sino-Japanese Reflections offers ten richly detailed case studies
that examine various forms of cultural and literary interaction
between Japanese and Chinese intellectuals from the late Ming to
the early twentieth century. The authors consider efforts by early
modern scholars on each side of the Yellow Sea to understand the
language and culture of the other, to draw upon received texts and
forms, and to contribute to shared literary practices. Whereas
literary and cultural flow within the Sinosphere is sometimes
imagined to be an entirely unidirectional process of textual
dissemination from China to the periphery, the contributions to
this volume reveal a more complex picture: highlighting how
literary and cultural engagement was always an opportunity for
creative adaptation and negotiation. Examining materials such as
Chinese translations of Japanese vernacular poetry, Japanese
engagements with Chinese supernatural stories, adaptations of
Japanese historical tales into vernacular Chinese, Sinitic poetry
composed in Japan, and Japanese Sinology, the volume brings
together recent work by literary scholars and intellectual
historians of multiple generations, all of whom have a strong
comparative interest in Sino-Japanese studies.
