HAYASHI AUTOR FUMIKO

In this groundbreaking novel, Fumiko Hayashi tells a powerful story of tormented love and one woman's struggle to navigate the cruel realities of postwar Japan. Spare, affecting prose recounts Japanese colonialism and the harshness of Japan's postwar experience from the rare perspective of a woman, and a rich cast of characters, drawn from the back alleys of urban Japan and the bottom? rungs of society, offers an unforgettable portrait of Japanese society after the war. The novel's characters, particularly its resilient heroine Yukiko Koda, find themselves trapped in their own drifting, unable to break free from the morass of indecisiveness. Yukiko moves from the lush and beautiful surroundings of Japanese-occupied French Indochina to the desolation and chaos of postwar Japan, and must now find her way through a radically changed landscape and society. We also follow her tortured relationship with Tomioka, a minor official working for the Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Though Tomioka returns to his wife after the war, he refuses to end his affair with Yukiko. As the two continue to cross paths, their passion and desperation grow, reflecting the intense upheaval of the times in which they live.

This paper examines innovation, deregulation, and firm dynamics over the life cycle of the U.S. ATM and debit card industry. In doing so, we construct a dynamic equilibrium model to study how a major product innovation (introducing the new debit card function) interacted with banking deregulation drove the industry shakeout. Calibrating the model to a novel dataset on ATM network entry, exit, size, and product offerings shows that our theory fits the quantitative pattern of the industry well. The model also allows us to conduct counterfactual analyses to evaluate the respective roles that innovation and deregulation played in the industry evolution.

I Saw a Pale Horse & Selections from Diary of a Vagabond (Cornell East Asia, No. 86) (Cornell East Asia Series Vol 86)

Hayashi Fumiko, one of the most popular prose writers of the Showa era, began writing as a down-and-out poet wandering the streets of 1920s Tokyo. In these translations of her first poetry collection, I Saw a Pale Horse (Aouma wo mitari) and Selected Poems from Diary of a Vagabond (Hōrōki), Fumiko's literary origins are colorfully revealed. Little known in the west, these early poetic texts focus on Fumiko's unconventional early life, and her construction of a female subject that would challenge, with gusto and panache, accepted notions not only of class, family, and gender but also of female poetic practice.

Her approach adds to the recent Japanese feminist discovery of male patrons editing the work of women writers to conform to expectations of femininity by relating gendered institutional practices in the publishing industry to the rise of mass female readership and the increasingly polarized environment in politics and the arts.
