Mikiko Chimori - Gulliver in the Orient
Update: 2015-09-02
Description
The talk will compare Japanese and English illustrations in various editions of Gulliver’s Travels published in Japan between 1880 and the early 1920s.
I am interested in how the Western illustrations in the English editions influenced Japanese illustrators and also the reverse process, as Japanese arts and culture in turn influenced British illustrators’ work. In some cases the Japanese illustrators’ work is derivative and in others highly original.
I will look at illustrations used in several different translations of Gulliver’s Travels in the late nineteenth century as well as two published in the 1920s.
