| Research Abstract |
In 2003,I studied Flaubert's influence on the 20th century's Western and Japanese Cultures. When Kabuki was performed in 1867,the French literary world, under the influence of realism, applauded "Hanamichi' and "Mawaributai". The French audience were only familiar with typical classical dramas, which provided a distraction from the violence and murders witnessed in society Kabuki must have been a novel production. It is possible that Flaubert, a lover of theaters, enjoyed watching Japanese plays, such as "Yamato", which was based on "Chusingura" and performed at Gaite Theater in 1879. Flaubert's use of "silence" is similar to Kabuki's technique, "Mie". What impressed the audience was the "Silence" of the Kabuki actors whose facial expressions and gestures were subdued but suggestive. Importantly, the period when Flaubert was writing plays coincides with the period when Japonism fascinated Paris.
