quote
Songs in the Garden: Poetry and Gardens in Ancient Japan
Marc Peter Keane - review by LEANNE OGASAWARA
Way back in 1998, Steven Heine wrote an article about emotions in Japanese religion and literature. The basic premise went something like this:
While in general Buddhism seeks to restrain human emotion as being an impediment to enlightenment, Japanese forms of Buddhism are different in that they have instead traditionally sought to refine or transform the emotions into something edifying.
This perhaps unique way in which emotions are handled in Japanese Buddhism has had a significant impact on certain Japanese cultural practices including literature, and this “transformation” or refining of the emotions has traditionally taken place within the context of an appreciation of nature and the turning of the four seasons.
snip
Songs in the Garden begins with the unforgettable scene from the Tale of Genji when the Shining Prince is sitting beside his love Lady Murasaki who is ill and not long for this world. It is a heart-wrenching scene. The two are overcome with sadness that they will soon part (she will die; he will have to go on living without her).
Gazing out at the garden, Murasaki responds to the tears in her lover’s eyes with a poem:
Could it be
I will disappear, having lasted
not much longer
Then the pearls of dew
that barely cling to the lotus leaves
Genji replies:
Let us promise
that not just in this life
our hearts will be as one
As close as jeweled drops of dew
beaded on a lotus leaf
In this way, their individual sadness (and attachment) is refined into something more uplifting, something that is not only shared between the two of them, but that is aesthetically meaningful to the aristocratic elite of Heian culture.
