The artwork Blinded by the Light (1991) by Yasumasa Morimura is an appropriation of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s The Blind Leading the Blind (1568) (Israel, 2005). Morimura has appropriated paintings and photographs throughout the ages, though The Blind Leading the Blind is the earliest dated work that Morimura has appropriated (Marsh, Watts, & Maylon, 1999). Morimura super-imposes a composite self-portrait on top of Bruegel’s painting, successfully changing the meaning of the piece. The different historical contexts of the two pieces in conjunction with appropriation allow the accumulation of ideas to present two separate meanings pertinent to the ideals of the times. Morimura’s simultaneous use of the historical and religious aspects of The

Musui will deliberately continue his transgressions during his adult years. He kept visiting the Yoshiwara repeatedly in many occasion, he traveled without permission, dealt with merchants, and became materialistic. At one occasion, he even shamelessly pulled a big farce (p. 135) of committing seppuku, which was considered as a sacred samurai ceremony, in order to get money from peasants. What is striking in all this is that he shows no indication of regret for his act, but instead describes the whole situation with pride.

Kii Yazhi was taken away from his family at a young age. He was taken to a boarding school which was ran by strict white men. The superiors would yell at Kii, telling him he cannot speak Navajo anymore, only english was allowed or Kii would be punished. Unfortunately, Kii did speak Navajo accidentally a few times which caused him a mouthful of soap, beaten by a stick, and humiliation in front of his whole school. Kii had to cut his hair off and was changed to a new, more white name, ‘Ned’.

2. Geni was charming on the exterior to most that knew him. However, a closer examination reveals that he is selfish, uncompassionate, unfaithful and superficial. He is everything I am not looking for in a man. He sees what he wants and he takes it, as he did with Murasaki. He is very hypocritical. Genji expects his wife to be faithful to him while he is constantly sharing himself with other women.

On one such occurrence Genji is pursuing a woman named Yūgao, who is of “lower grade” (Tyler, 62). He visits her only at night in secret, and doesn’t call on her until everyone in the house is asleep (Tyler 63).

The Western depictions of samurai take the common practice of the relationship between a young boy and his master out of context and makes it seem as if the relationship was forced. The relationship between a boy and his master, one that includes sodomy, was heavily looked down upon by the west, and in turn, led to the mindset that all of the Japanese sodomized little boys. While it was common, it was not practiced by everyone. One similarity that was apparent in The Tale of the Heike is the portrayal is how uptight the Japanese were about maintaining their look.

She appears as a young girl with messy white hair; two portions raveled into ponytails. She had thick black eyebrows, and always kept her eyes closed, unless playing Gungi. Komugi wore a pink tunic, with a white long sleeve shirt underneath. She was seen carrying a walking stick when entering the palace in East Gorteau. Though blind, she is the world champion in the board game of Gungi and frequently plays with the King. She constantly berates herself, thinking that her only skill is playing Gungi; she even comes to the conclusion that she is worthless (garbage in her words), if she loses a single match. The King develops feelings toward Komugi due to her brilliance and skill in Gungi and her unassuming nature, despite her being a human. She

A kindred spirt of Mo Yan from the island of Japan, filmmaker Akira Kurosawa shares Mo Yan views on human nature. For these two men, humans have the capacity for great evil as well as great good. In Kurosawa’s Rashomon, we see the fathomless depths humans will sink to, in order to preserve their own selfish desires. Throughout all three accounts of the samurai’s death, we see how all the characters falsify the truth in order to serve their needs. From Tajomaru’s grandiose fantasies of himself to the wife who shifts from sinful serpent to docile doe to lessen her involvement and finally the samurai who even in death refuses to tell the truth so that his honor as a great warrior and disciple to the bushido code will remain intact. Even the woodcutter

In Yojimbo, Akira Kurosawa satirizes Japanese greed and corruption and portrays the growing influence of capitalism. During this time in Japan, the Yakuza clan was a very strong and dangerous group equivalent to the modern day mafia. The Yakuza clans’ ideals are relatable to two themes prominent in Yojimbo: greed and corruption, and rising capitalist influence. Kurosawa satirizes these two characteristics of the Yakuza clan through the use of mise en scene.

Chiune Sugihara created a way to freedom for many Jewish refugees. Even though Chiune saved thousands of Jews, his personal life suffered greatly. He was not able to return to Japan right away, so he traveled through Berlin, Prague, Konigsberg, and Bucharest. While in Europe, they were captured by the Russians because of their suspicious demeanor and were sent to internment camps for over 18 months(Kaleem). Sugihara and his family had to survive in harsh conditions for being who they were and where they were, but no matter what, they kept their mouths shut about what they had done for the Jews. They had no idea if their effort had helped anyone, but Sugihara still wanted to stay quiet about it, for fear of harming the Jews traveling to Japan.
