A three-year collaboration between faculty and students in the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa\u2019s Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures<\/a> (EALL<\/abbr>), scholars in Japan, and the Honolulu Museum of Art has borne fruit: a bilingual cross-platform publication that focuses on 18th century scrolls recently discovered inside a collection at the Honolulu Museum of Art (HoMA<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

Nestled within the Lane Collection, an archive curated by the late art dealer and 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M\u0101noa alumnus Richard Douglas Lane, lay a two-scroll set known as the J\u016bban Mushi-awase<\/em>, or A Match of Crickets in Ten Rounds of Verse and Image<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“These scrolls depict a literary event in 1782 Edo (Tokyo), where poets and painters gathered to explore the relative virtues of two humble insects—the bell cricket and the pine cricket,” said Robert Huey, a 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M\u0101noa EALL<\/abbr> professor emeritus. “In East Asian literature, these insects have long symbolized the sadness of autumn and the pain of separation.”<\/p>\n
