asobi-e of the Edo Period Explanation: It is a very accepted practice to use the original Japanese names for the different genres of Japanese art (ukiyo-e, shin hanga, etc.). I personally use original names, too, in these circumstances. Like with wasabi, obi, tsunami, etc. original Japanese names are used with an explanation if needed. Example sentence(s):

calicature, cartoon Explanation: "Asobi-ye" is layman's term for "Giga 戯画" about which the most well known is 鳥獣戯画. See below: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/鳥獣人物戯画 It is a "cartoon" in today's term, but sometimes falls in the category of arts called "calicature" as it can be a political satire. They can be an educating tools for kids and adults alike, as well as entertainments. I understand Joyce's point, but I believe these two terms are right on the target that help readers' better comprehension (thus eliminating the strain of eyes to read explanatory sentences). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2009-11-01 17:37:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Woops, I forgot to say "Edo Era", so whole answer is "cartoons (or calicatures) of Edo Era". |
