Franz Kafka in Tokyo

卡夫卡的东京绝望日记

Franz Kafka
Powerless in every way and moreover, in the most perfect way. Franz Kafka, the great novelist widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature.
Yet given this stature, we find his life itself was more absurd than what was depicted in his novels. Few people know that he suffered from an “obsession with despair,” where he found everything in life to be hopeless. “Kafka’s Tokyo Despair Diary”is an inexplicable comedy that follows Kafka as he lives in Tokyo finding despair in various subjects such as “the need for approval on social media,” and “the practice of searching for a marriage partner.”
As Kafka is thoroughly overwhelmed by a feeling of despair, his courage and graceful manner in which he deals with it will no doubt give you hope in life.
弗兰兹・卡夫卡是20世纪代表的伟大小说家弗兰兹・卡夫卡,他的作品大都荒诞不经,却又完美无缺。
其实卡夫卡本人,是一个比自己小说内容人物还荒谬的人,大家都不知道的是他对所有的事情都是一种
不绝望不舒服的绝望中毒状态。就是这样的卡夫卡一边生活在现代的东京,一边有时候在⺴上“集赞⺴
游”,还有时候在“相亲活动”绝望的时候写不可思议的留言,这些留言就成了【卡夫卡的东京绝望日
记】。卡夫卡(铃木扩树)追求完美的价值观却被绝望一次次打败,他的激荡动人的人生,会给予大家
生存下去的希望么.
弗兰兹卡夫卡
1883年生于奥匈帝国(捷克共和国)。作为富裕犹太商人儿子出生的卡夫卡,在大学时学习的是法
律,以半官半民的身份进入劳动者灾害保险协会工作。在公司职员的生活当中,用德语开始执笔写
小说。他的作品里有几部⻓篇小说,和多部短篇小说,日记,还有写给恋人的大量的信件,未能完
成的作品也很多。
代表作是描写有一天早上醒来,一个男人变成一只巨大的虫子的故事,名字是【变身】,【审判】
等。卡夫卡是20世纪获得最高小说家评价的人物之一。

Yae's Sakura (Japanese Title : 大河ドラマ「八重の桜」)

Sometimes following her dreams means breaking the rules.

NHK's famed Taiga drama series continues with the historical tale of Japanese heroine, Yae Niijima (1845-1932). Since Yae was from the Aizu Domain, which included the present-day Fukushima Prefecture, it is hoped that this tale of triumph over hardship will inspire the people of Fukushima during their earthquake and tsunami recovery effort, and keep the nation focused on supporting them.

"Rules are rules" is what Yae Yamamoto (later Niijima) often hears in childhood, and it echoes throughout her life. But some rules don't accommodate an independent-minded woman. Always a tomboy at heart, the young gunslinger, Yae, leads 500 other women in the fight to defend the Aizu Domain during the Boshin War. While their efforts are in vain, her drive for success is undiminished, and she goes on to lead an unusual life for a woman of her time.

Calling on an inner strength after the destruction of her beloved Aizu, she starts the next chapter of her life with study in Kyoto. While there, she realizes the importance of women's education, and she and her husband, the famous educator Jo Niijima, establish a Christian university.

Finally, Yae feels the call to serve once again during the first Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War where she works as a front-line nurse -- until then, an unheard-of role for Japanese women. As Yae dedicates her life to assisting others, she blossoms into a role model for modern women everywhere.

"Even if this way is a thorny path, this is my choice. I’ll regret nothing.”
Kiyoko Ranman is a story about a lady who keeps acting with pride as a daughter of Samurai family and her faithful love with her childhood friend.
It’s 1895 and Japan is riding high on the country’s recent victory in the Sino-Japanese War. Though raised by her parents and grandmother to take special pride in her warrior ancestry, Kudo Kiyoko, the daughter of a family of former samurai, lives a modest life. Kiyoko’s childhood friend Arima Sota is a doctor who has watched over her since she was born. The two were raised like brother and sister.
But when Kiyoko’s father is arrested and falsely imprisoned in an embezzlement case, everything is suddenly turned upside down. Labeled the daughter of a corrupt teacher, Kiyoko and her family are forced to take drastic measures. Arima bows his head and asks the wealthy merchant Shibusawa Yahiko for financial assistance to save the family. No one could ever have imagined that this action would change Kiyoko’s future in such a drastic way.
This tale of “love and pride” hinges on a daughter of samurai who lived in the Meiji Period, her childhood friend whose love for her is unending, and a business tycoon who is a rank amateur when it comes to matters of romance.
