Japanese Text Initiative
Electronic Text Center, Library, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA
Supplied note:
"The Japanese Text Initiative [... added] 11 new texts on the Web:
Manyoshu; Sarashina Nikki; Tsurezuregusa; Saikaku, Koshoku Gonin Onna;
Saikaku, Koshoku Ichidai Onna; Basho, Oku no Hosomichi; Chikamatsu,
Sonezaki Shinju; Chikamatsu, Shinju Ten no Amijima; Akinari, Ugetsu;
Issa, Oraga Haru; Mori Ogai, Gan;
These texts join the previously available Kokinshu, Ise
monogatari, Hojoki, Hyakunin isshu, Noh plays, and Akiko's
Midaregami. An interactive search interface lets users search online
in Japanese or English for any characters or words in individual texts
or in all the texts together. The immediate goal of the Japanese Text
Initiative is to put online all texts in Thomas Rimer's Reader's Guide
to Japanese Literature, as well as other important titles from classical
Japanese literature. Texts now in process include Sei Shonagon's
Makura no soshi; poetry of Saigyo, Ryokan, and Buson; Heike
monogatari; Chushingura; and Akinari's Harusame.
The Japanese Text Initiative is part of the online library of the
Electronic Text Center at the University of Virginia Library. The
E-Text Center has on the Web 40,000+ texts in English, French,
German, Latin, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and other languages. All
of the texts are tagged in SGML according to Text Encoding Initiative
guidelines. For Web display, PERL filters convert the SGML tags to
HTML."
