The aim of this paper is to examine the stage version of The Curtain Rises from multiple perspectives such as plays and performances. In particular, I focused on Oriza Hirata, who was involved in writing the script. In Chapter 1, I introduce his work and organize the comments of the people involved in the workshop that took place prior to the movie and the stage play. In Chapter 2, I examine how the transition from novel to film, and from film to theater, was based on the mixed media of The Curtain Rises. In Chapter 3, I discuss the story, pointing out theatrical features based on particular scenes, and highlight the theme of the growth of the characters. Finally, in Chapter 4, I focus on the episode dealing with the Great East Japan Earthquake and the characters of Nakanishi, which were added in the stage version of The Curtain Rises, and consider its effects on the entire play.

This paper analyzes how movies can showcase experiences during historical moments and evoke the consciousness of people throughfeature films such as "Even the Rain" (Icíar Bollaín, 2010), inspired by the "Water War" that broke out in Cochabamba, Bolivia in 2000. First, I elaborate on the film's story and indicate the different reception it received in Spain, where the film was made, and Bolivia,where it was shot. It was well received in Spain because it depicted the parallelism in history between the Conquest era and present day,and the resistance of a united people against oppression. In contrast,in Bolivia, it was received with a polemic because it was considered to be plagiarized from the Bolivian film "To Hear the Birds Singing"(Jorge Sanjinés, 1995)and accused of having a colonial view of the film.Second, to clarify the bases of such contrasting critiques, I attempt to examine the historical and social visions of both societies, one suzerain and the other colonized. Third, I explain the historical process, politicoeconomic background, and the impact of ochabamba's "Water War" on Bolivian and international societies, and clarify how this crucial historical subject is reconstructed and what message is conveyed through the film. Finally, I suggest how we can learn the history and facts through the films.

The present paper is a sequel of this particular author’s former papers titled, ① ‶A mythical monster, Shii promoted the Shibues, top masters of Kappa, the most popular water monster in Japan" (Komma2021a), and ② ‶Rampant emergence of a mythical monster, Shii and the concealed outbreaks of rinderpest ―Ethno-history of massive fatalities of cattle and horses during the early-modern times in Japan" (Komma2022). In the 1st paper concerned, the author clarifi ed the historical process of the formation of the notion, Shii. Several Chinese books had been imported into Japan refer to Shii saying that it can miraculously steal into anybody’s chamber at amy time at will without being noticed, that it often harms anybody’s eyes, face, and limbs, and that it may kill the victims at times. Though those Chinese books never include cattle (nor horses)among Shii’s victims, when the natives of the Nagato and the Suou domains in Westernmost Honshu had been suff ering from massive fatalities of their own cattle in the early 17th century, they named Shii as the incident’s supernatural cause. After several decades, a Shinto priest living in the Suou domain who happened to be at a village in the Chikuzen domain in Northern Kyuhshu, witnessed quite a similar incident to theirs then and there. So he, with the confi dence, eagerly recommended the villagers to fi nd and kill racoon-dog-like creatures. Somehow they successfully hunted some heads, after which peace returned. Some other villages there followed suit and were successful in stopping the mysterious cattle killings, too. Hence Shii leaped into imfamy in nearby villages. An exclusively famous Confusian in the Chikuzen domain at that time, KAIBARA Ekiken wrote the incident vividly in his books titled Chikuzennokuni-nochinohudoki and Yamato-honzo respectively. Hence the high notoriety of Shii in the western half of Honshu and all of Shikoku and Kyushu. ① may be summarized as this. In the second paper ② , the author compares ① with Dr. KISHI Hiroshi’s papers. Kishi is a veterinarian, who identifi ed rinderpest as the aetiological cause of the massive fatalities of native cattle in his homeland,the Nagato and the Suou domains at that time, by referring to many archives well satisfying his fi ve conditions, i.e.(a) only cattle,(b)who are infected with some virus,(c) and died,(d) rapidly,(e) and alsomassively. He is the very fi rst and last person that substantiated the outbreaks of rinderpest during the early-modern times in Japan. His papers assisted the author indeed in that now we can safely say that the myth of Shii in Japan originated mainly due to the two great rinderpest outbreaks. Then, the last question is why did the sudden rise of the very notion of Shii in Western Japan as a whole occur just in the period of massive deth toll during the Kyohou great famine in 1732 which did not fulfi ll Dr. Kishi’s 5 conditions mentioned above, for not only cattle but also horses died in a great number. In ② , the author insists as follows. Through the extremely miserable experiences during the two great outbreaks of rinderpest in the early-and-mid 17th century, the native peasants realized that horses can substitute their dead cattle as ploughing animals. So, they did dreadfully fear the Kyohou great famine, during which their horses died together with their cattle, leaving no ploughing power, other than human beings themselves, behind at all. For the present author, the plenty of historical documents he cited as the hard evidence to corroborate the two great outbreaks of rinderpest, are heuristic and thought-provoking by far beyond expectation. The present paper’s author, encountered a thin document full of apparent miscopies in transcription, titled Kanbun-zakki meanig miscellaneous notes during the Kanbun era. After a careful study of the docu ment, a crucial evidence for the unexpected paradigm shift from Kappa to Shii as the aetiological cause of massive fatalities of cattle and horses loomed large out of historic mist. An offi cial circular of a tentative aetiology of the massive fatalities by Shogunate government offi cials was sent to each feudal lord in Western Japan during the second great outbreak of rinderpest in the mid-Kanbun era. The quite an old-fashioned circular, to which a transcription of the Shibues’ famous charm to avert Kappa’s evil attached, read as follows: the government recommends to press the charm to the head of each one of cattle, for the practice has turnd out very effi cacious to prevent the animal from dying in the Higo domain. Higo is the Shibues’ homeland. This is astounding fact, for, according to the standard academic evaluation, they at that time have been taken as persons of somewhat low social standing, up to now. The government’s pronouncement should have changed the attitudes of the common people toward them, especially in the Higo domain,avobe all. When the Kyohou great famine started, the above-mentioned paradigm shift from Kappa to Shii took place, for Higoites had been infl uenced by the aetiology in the Chikugo domain which was located in close vicinity to the Higo domain in the south. Chikugoites were known for having originated another diff erent concept of Shii independent from that of the Nagato and the Suou domains. According to it, Shii harms horses only, but not cattle, which is more profi table to the lesson gotten after the two great rinderpest outbreaks. So, it seems that the residents in the Higo domain successfully persuaded now prestigeful the Sibues to accept the Chikugo-like concept. All in all, the Shibues seem to come to be known as top masters of uprising Shii, other than those of Kappa. As a result, Kappa seems to have constantly reduced group consciousness day by day.

Japanese mythology in the text of "Kojiki" contains Himuka Myth after Izumo Myth. Himuka is the birthplace of Amaterasu (goddess of sun) and further the descending place of Amaterasuʼs grandson, Ninigi. Hence, Himuka became the holy place for the imperial family. Ninigi married the daughter of the mountain god and Ninigiʼs descendants married daughters of the sea god. Therefore, the imperial family obtained the natural force of the mountain and the sea by blood relations. The first Emperor Jinmu migrated from Himuka toward the east and conquered the area of Yamato with several influential clans. Emperor Jinmu married the daughter of Miwayamaʼs god Omononushi. The regal power of Yamato was originally realized by the unity between Emperor Jinmu and Miwa clan. Therefore, the imperial family did not consist of a singular descendant line, but comprised of plural blood relations. Thus, it can be said that the Japanese myth is composed of plural genealogies. State Shinto controlled Japanese people by the totalitarianized Emperor system from Meiji era to World War Ⅱ. Shintoism distorted the Japanese myth as a singular unbroken line of Emperor and concealed plural blood relations in the imperial family. However, Shintoism must be refuted by the plural structure of the Japanese myth "Kojiki."

The myth of a nation is engraved by plural tribal myths. The Japanese myth found in "Kojiki" is constructed not only by a singular myth of the Imperial Family but also by a composition of plural tribal myths. Therefore, we can characterize the Japanese myth as having a plural structure. Furthermore, this theory is proven in Japanese ancient history and archaeology. Before World War II, the Japanese myth was exploited by national totalitarianism, which insisted on a singular unbroken line of Japanese emperors. However, the Japanese myth was originally constructed not only by the heavenly world (Takamanohara) but also by the terrestrial world(Ashihara no Nakatsukuni), which contains two main regions, Izumo and Himuka. In "Kojiki" the gods of Izumo(Susanoo and Okuninushi) precedes the grandsons of the sun goddess (Amaterasu) in Himuka. Izumo Myth expresses the mighty domination of the Izumo-tribe that existed before the line of Japanese emperors in Yamato. To this end, I aim to understand the Japanese myth in "Kojiki" as a plural structure of both Izumo Myth and Himuka Myth.
