Chapter 206: Natsume Soseki and sketching
[Yakou Poetry Society] is a literary event jointly organized by the Akutagawa Prize & Haiku Association.
The most famous Akutagawa Prize winner of the year was announced, and the owner of the Dassai House who proposed sketching was also invited.
Expressed in purely objective sentences, the haiku literature, which is about to die, is revitalized.
Many people came because of him and were stunned when they saw Ryukawa Tetsu standing up.
"What's he going up for?"
"He seems to know the owner of Dassai House?"
Most of the people in the stands were shocked, even Hongping, who was sitting under the podium, looked a little stunned.
If there is anyone who has the best reputation in the literary world these days, it is undoubtedly the owner of the Dassai house who invented the ‘life drawing method’.
Let many people create sketchy haiku, and make Takao Mountain almost covered with white poetry markers at today’s poetry meeting.
Everyone thought it was a thirty-six-year-old poet who was seriously ill. Ryukawa Toru was too young and too incredible.
Monk Hongping's "the ups and downs of the forty-year-old master" has been proven.
The former Masaoka Shiki planned his life in this way. He wrote non-stop before the age of thirty. After the age of thirty, he began to serialize literary treatises such as "The Essentials of Haiku", "Book of Songs", and "Hai Ren Wucun".
If the owner of the Dassai house is a middle-aged man in his forties, he can barely accept it, but if he is an eighteen-year-old boy.
"Mr. Shirakawa, what does this mean?"
Standing on the lectern were Takehito Shirakawa, Toru Ryukawa, and Natsuko Imamura.
This is because there will be an award ceremony for Natsuko Imamura and others. The old monk was originally here, but this opportunity to show his face was won over by Taketo Shirakawa, one of the founders of this event, and given to the owner of Dassai House.
The niche haiku genre needs a representative, and there’s no one more suitable than the owner of Dassai House.
"Because of him"
"Should I pretend to be a little surprised?" Takeru Shirakawa said in front, holding a golden pocket watch. The eldest lady and Toru Ryukawa stood together and blinked.
She was one of the few people who knew that Toru Tatsukawa was the owner of Dassai House. At this time, even her little girlfriend who had just returned from home was doing it in the audience.
"Why am I going out for a while and my boyfriend will run on the stage with my best friend?" The stunned expression.
The boys and girls stood next to each other with similar facial expressions. Ryukawa Toru rolled his eyes and took two steps forward.
"I am Zigui."
Ryukawa Cheru looked at these with a smile. The literati who wrote "I Am a Cat" were quite controversial about him two days ago.
"Zigui, who cries blood unbearably."
It was quiet at first, and you could hear the needle drop.
There was only the faint sound of breathing in the air.
"Absurd!"
Sitting under the stands, someone frowned and made a sound.
Even if the facts are right in front of you, it's hard to believe.
Compared with literary laurels such as Akutagawa, Masaoka Shiki's documentary value is too great.
Two essays have saved haiku, and how easy it is to convince them that it was written by Toru Ryukawa.
Even though just now Takehito Shirakawa said: "Matsuo Basho used "The frog leaps into the ancient pond, the clear sound of the stillness is heard" as the first tone of the new tune to attack Tanbayashi, I watched the dragon on that thundery and rainy night on April 3 Chuan Jun wrote "The Essentials of Haiku Comedy"."
Even if someone vouched for it, most of their expressions were hard to believe.
Because they had just scolded Ryukawa Tetsu some time ago, it was difficult to treat the person they admired the most as the person they hated.
Who is Toru Ryukawa?
He contradicted his predecessors in the literary world and even wrote "I Am a Cat" to satirize the pedantic Japanese "famous thieves".
Who is the owner of Dassai House?
Dare to be the first for heaven and earth, and renew Haiku's great destiny in the music world.
The two simply cannot be put together.
Can you imagine that the good guy and the villain in movies and TV shows are the same person?
Anyway, most people present can't accept it.
"Why is it ridiculous?"
Ryukawa Tetsu turned around and found out that the speaker was a literature professor from Kyoto University.
Ryukawa Toru remembers that he published a manuscript about how much life the "life-drawing method" can bring to haiku.
At that time, he had great admiration for the owner of Dassai House, but now it seems that he wants to behead him alive.
He loved the works of the owner of Dassai House, but he was very dissatisfied with Tatsukawa Teru's use of "I Am a Cat" to criticize literati.
Everyone is doing things with new intentions, but you, Toru Ryukawa, actually set your sights on literati of the same class.
'You are simply audacious. ’
The literature professor from Kyoto just looked at him.
Ryuukawa Toru came in the name of the 'Owner of Dassai House', which seemed to make everyone around him feel cold.
There was no warm applause when the girl came on stage, and most people watched indifferently.
The 'Dassai House Owner' could be anyone, but it couldn't be Toru Ryukawa, who was criticized by everyone.
"I'm talking about you people."
Ryukawa Toru shook his wrist and took the pocket watch from the slightly embarrassed Shirakawa Taketo. The golden pocket watch symbolizes the best literary works of the past year. Ryukawa Toru looked hesitantly before putting it on the other person.
"Would you mind?"
"What?"
"I don't have a good reputation."
"It doesn't matter."
In full view of everyone, he pinched Ryukawa Tetsu's wrist.
The boy smelled of alcohol, so the eldest lady took his hand and took over the pocket watch engraved with 'poppy poppy'.
The atmosphere was quiet when there was supposed to be applause from the audience. From this, we can also see the extent to which Ryukawa Toru was not accepted at this time.
He fooled everyone and released a message that Zigui was thirty-six years old. While everyone was praising him, he wrote an article "I am a Cat" to ridicule the pedantry of contemporary literati.
No one will like such a literati, even if he
"It's such a pity that Haiku has you."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
One scholar sarcastically laughed.
They slowly accepted the fact that Toru Ryukawa was the owner of Dassai House, but they had many complaints about Toru Ryukawa himself.
Not bothered by being told this, Toru Ryukawa watched Natsuko Imamura walk down, and then looked at everyone in the room.
He seemed to have embarked on a somewhat special path. Not only did he deviate from mainstream literature, but even his unpublished works were looked down upon by this group of people.
"So today's literati are pedantic and rigid. If Mr. Shirakawa hadn't invited me, I really wouldn't want to deal with you old people who 'just watch and love to watch'."
The young man, who smelled slightly of alcohol, scratched the itch on his forehead. He sighed softly and said, causing the whole hall to become dead silent.
In the dead silence of the hall, Ryukawa Toru blinked at Takeda Maifei who was closest to him.
At this time, the executive of the conference looked at him in horror, as if he suspected that he was drunk and talking nonsense.
Ryukawa Toru not only wrote a book to criticize, but also said it directly in front of all the literati present.
Japanese calligraphers are pedantic and unimproved. I, Toru Ryukawa, am ashamed to associate with you.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Everyone's expressions turned red at first, then purple blood surged up, and their faces were filled with anger.
There were faint signs of Ryukawa Tetsu being attacked by the crowd. Honghei frowned and stood up to scold him sternly.
"When we talk about haiku, we talk about haiku. I admit that you have made great contributions to poetry and haiku."
The old monk frowned and looked around. He spoke first. The literati gritted their teeth, but they had no intention of standing up immediately to accuse.
"It's just a novel"
Before the old monk finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ryukawa Tetsu with a wave of his hand.
"How many people have watched "Essentials of Haiku Comedy"."
It is difficult to describe the young man's expression at this time.
Frowning, squinting, cold face.
It was obvious that he had scolded everyone, but he seemed to be angrier than everyone else.
Some people were confused, but under the leadership of one or two people, everyone raised their hands.
Whether you like Tatsukawa Toru or not, his status in haiku is too high.
"How many people have read the original text of "I Am Cat"?"
Ryukawa Che snapped.
He is obviously a young man.
But after drinking the sake, he seemed to be vaguely majestic.
The momentum comes from Shiki who died crying at the age of thirty-six, and from his close friend Natsume Soseki who helped him integrate sketching into novel writing.
The two jointly created and perfected the sketching method.
The great national writer looked coldly at the group of literati who criticized his works.
The life-drawing method is not only a gift to haiku artists, but also the writing method he taught to the Japanese literary world.
"They are all sour and corrupt."
I don’t know if it’s Natsume Soseki who “sees life through a cat’s eye and talks about world affairs with a smile”, or Ryuukawa Toru himself.
The young man said coldly.
"The sketching method is "I am a cat",
"I am a Cat" is all about life drawing.
It's been so long and I still haven't noticed it. ”
The young man's voice was calm, but someone crushed the wine cup in the corner.
Koo Ichiro, who had cut off his literary career, looked at Ryukawa Toru's lips turning white, an expression he had never seen even when he knew Ryukawa Toru was "Ziki".
"This is impossible!"
The middle-aged scholar's voice was torn, like an evil ghost.
