内容説明
Counting Dreams tells the story of Nomura Boto, a Buddhist nun, writer, poet, and activist who joined the movement to oppose the Tokugawa Shogunate and restore imperial rule. Banished for her political activities, Boto was imprisoned on a remote island until her comrades rescued her in a dramatic jailbreak, spiriting her away under gunfire. Roger K. Thomas examines Boto's life, writing, and legacy, and provides annotated translations of two of her literary diaries, shedding light on life and society in Japan's tumultuous bakumatsu period and challenging preconceptions about women's roles in the era.
Thomas interweaves analysis of Boto's poetry and diaries with the history of her life and activism, examining their interrelationship and revealing how she brought two worlds-the poetic and the political-together. Counting Dreams illustrates Boto's significant role in the loyalist movement, depicting the adventurous life of a complex woman in Japan on the cusp of the Meiji Restoration.
