Jacket illustration is a detail of a brocaded robe, Japan, Edo Period. keywords: Asia Japan Literature Women Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION-Daughter of a merchant family in nineteenth-century Japan and wife of a distinguished scholar-doctor of the samurai class, Shibue Io was a woman remarkable in her own right for her exceptionally keen mind and fearless spirit. Edwin McClellan has chosen Jo as the heroine of his new book, telling her story from childhood through her years of service in a daimyo household, her marriage and early widowhood, her exile to the provinces at the time of the collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and her last days back in her native city of Tokyo, which she had known earlier as Edo. McClellan's narrative is based on the biography of Shibue Chusai written by Mori Ogai, one of the great literary figures of modem Japan. Translating the parts of Ogai's book that deal with Jo and deftly interveaving them with his own comments and narrations, McClellan presents Io as a warmly human figure, while illuminating her society and tints, Io's story reveals intimate details of the daily concerns, activities, and values of a well-placed Edo family, of the intricacies of family alliances and succession complicated by marriages and adoptions, of the human problems of choosing sides and surviving a civil war, More than that, it gives an unparalleled view of the waxing and waning of power and responsibility of a Japanese woman as she moves through life. We meet Io as an independent minded child in her father's house, later glimpse her fiercely protecting her husband from thieves, We see her assuming responsibility for the domestic affairs of her innumerable family members and ‘houseguest? and, at the end, passing her leadership role to her son, allowing herself to become dependent on hint Shibue Io is a memorable character who participates in and helps define an era of dramatic political, social, and cultural change. inventory #484.
