This paper has two purposes. One is to introduce Kendall Walton's theory of representational arts to the Japanese philosophical community. His theory is highly original in that it reveals the fact that the representational works of arts, such as paintings, sculptures, films, plays and novels, are to be regarded as being functionally the same as playthings, such as dolls, hobbyhorses, toy trucks and teddy bears. The theory depends on distinctive use of such concepts as games of make-believe, props, and representations. I try to make it clear what these concepts are meant to serve for. In doing this, I also try to give an overview of the role of imaginative activities as the foundation for our intellectual and emotional understanding of the world. This is the other purpose of this paper. According to Walton's view, dolls, toy trucks and works of arts, which serve for props of our games of make-believe, prompt us to imagine a fictional world where we have them as real things. An object in the real world can be turned into an item in an imaginary world that is different from itself-in-the-real-world. It should be real, however, in this fictional world. So we can take ourselves living with multiple realities in view of a Waltonian theory of make-believe. We would have an unexpected revelation of reality by artistic appreciation regarded as a kind of children's games of make-believe. In this sense, fiction-making capacity emerges as something very important and essential to human beings.

In this paper, I carry out research as part of an integrated study on the roof-tile organization of old Japanese provincial temples. In it, I focus on the three provinces of Shinano, Echigo, and Sado, which have a deep geographical relationship, and discuss the formation and development of roof-tile organization. With respect to the Shinano provincial temple, although the construction of its buildings took place around the year 770, which is considerably later than in other provinces, I argue that perhaps prior to that time, temporary structures were built that used the same variety of temple roof-tiles as found in the local area. Regarding the tiles of the Echigo provincial temple, because there are not many related materials, I only introduced the specific characteristics of its roof-tile manufacturing technique. As for the roof-tiles of the Sado provincial temple, I organized their many types by lineage, and presented the possibility that the founding roof-tiles may have originally come along with the Sue pottery makers from Owari via Shinano and Echigo. I also pointed out the possibility that its founding period dates back to the late eighth century.

Hanamatsuri, one of Japanese traditional folk festivals which has attracted scholars and tourists, in famous for its elaborated rituals and dances. It is well known that various masqueraders come out and perform mythical stories in this festival. Although several reports of these masqueraders and their masks have been published, original first-hand data on these masks is still inadequate. This paper aims to offer ethnographic descriptions on the masks of Hanamatsuri festival and make a small contribution to Hanamatsuri studies as well as to study on Japanese masking tradition. Ethnographic descriptions here are based on my fieldwork done in Futto, Toei town, Aichi prefecture. In this paper, I report how people treat or handle their masks at Hanamatsuri festival today. I also would like to give some analyses on topics concerning with these masks, such as mutual relationships among these masks, their setting places in the sacred Kanbeya room, procedure of setting them up for the festival and other traditional customs for keeping and using these masks. Thus this paper offer some points of view for connecting Hanamatsuri studies with anthropology of masks and masquerades.

Since the beginning of the 20th century the Homeric epics have been the main focus of historical discussions on "the Trojan War" in the Mycenaean Age and the actual societies and cultures of the later periods. In this paper I envisage the Iliad as not so much a historical document as a fictional work and propose to make clear the poet's social vision which should have appealed to his contemporary audience near the end of the Dark Age. The literary world of the Iliad, as J. Goold has pointed out, is made up of the four model societies: those of the Greeks at Troy, Troy itself, the gods on Olympus and the Greeks at the age of Homer, of which the last one is described briefly on the Shield of Achilles and in similes. From this general view I proceed to put in the foreground the depiction of the city at war - a secularized and reduced Iliad - on the Shield (Il. l8.509-540) and to look from there into 'the vanishing point' on which the 'parallel lines' of the other three societies should converge in a poetic perspective. At the end of this dynamic structure the victorious Achilles, who insults the defeated Hector's dead body and has become a helpless victim of physical force, is saved from this fatal mechanism of perpetual violence by the divine familial affection and the old king Priam's action of paternal love for his son. And just after the reconciliation, the entire narrative concludes with Hector's funeral which symbolizes the continuation of Troy's social life. Thus Homer seems to show his original view in which the type of his Trojan society, an urban civilization with the great potentialities of mediating social conflicts and resolving mental crises, can repair the grave defects inherent to such an excessively competitive organization as his Greek army and provide good guidance for the people of many emerging city-states of his time.

After the defeat of the war, Taiheiki has been neglected because of the imperialism, royal authority, duraing the war. After the the war, Taiheiki was estimated by study of history, not as a tale. So the main theme of the study has been about the research of the thought of the author. They had not studied as a tale but as a historical material. They looked for a hisrorical material. But this time I was surprised to find that much of the text was woven as a tale. I have tried to read the text as a tale based on Heikemonogatari. I believed to read it as a woven text based on Heikemonogatari.

John Searle argues in his seminal paper of fictional discourse that the author of a work of fiction pretends to perform a series of illocutionary acts. He does not make it very clear, however, how one could make a pretended performance of an illocutionary act, e.g. an assertion: he does not tell us what else should be done in order to make a pretended assertion in addition to uttering an assertive sentence. The analysis of truth in fiction put forward by David Lewis may seem to give a plausible account of the meaning of fictional discourse; but his theory also contains the concept of pretence as a primitive notion of its explanatory components. Gregory Currie criticizes the Searlean pretence theory of fiction and advocates a communicative approach to the problem of fictional utterance. He introduces the idea of make-believe instead: the author of a fiction intends that the audience make believe her story. In his communicative approach it seems to be taken for granted that we know what it is to induce someone to make believe something and how it can be carried out by a speaker. Pretence or its equivalent, makebelieve, appears in these theories as a fundamental but unexplained frame of mind that constitutes the essence of fictional discourse. It is suggested that pretence or make-believe may be a primitive equipment of human mind like belief or truth inasmuch as storytelling and playacting can be seen everywhere in human life.

This paper aims at elucidating the historical settings of the great uprising of the native Egyptians against the Ptolemies, lasting from 206 BC to 186 BC, in the wider Mediterranean context. This internal affair has traditionally been interpreted as a symptom of general decline of the Ptolemaic rule, though close observations of the course of the revolts strongly suggest that both foreign and domestic policies of the Ptolemaic court as well as that of the influential political body of Egyptian priests toward the rebels had recognizable relations to the political situations outside Egypt, the advance of the Romans into the East Mediterranean in particular. The mutual agreement between Ptolemy V and the Egyptian priests (Memphis decree) was announced just after the battle of Cynoscephalae and the Ptolemies mounted s senous counteroffensive against the rebels only after the treaty of Apamea, which removed the direct threat from the Seleucids. The fact that diplomatic activities of Komanos preceded his final suppression of the rebellion in 186 also corroborates the view that the foreign and domestic affairs of this period were closely interrelated under the Ptolemaic rule.

In this paper I discuss how literary studies could contribute to a legal argument concerning the artistic quality of literary works. To this end, I will revisit points of discussions in a series of legal trials regarding invasions of privacy found in literary texts, namely MISHIMA Yukio's "After the Banquet," TAKAHASHI Osamu's "Namonaki Michi wo (Down a Nameless Road)", and YÛ Miri's "Ishi ni Oyogu Sakana (A Fish Swimming in Stone)." The problems surrounding artistic quality - how to judge it, and whether or not to take it into account at all - have continued to trouble lawyers since it first became a crucial point in the judgment of "After the Banquet" in 1960. I suggest that 'artistic quality' refers to the possibilities of art. In particular, I argue that it can function to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding humanness in the public sphere.

In the Paññāsa-Jātaka transmitted in central Thailand, there are as many as eight stories of self-sacrifice (ajjhattika-dāna), where a bodhisatta declares that he carries out his self-sacrifice not to get the achievement of a sāvaka or paccekabuddha but to attain omniscience. It is said that this declaration seems to be influenced by Mahāyānistic ideal of Bodhisattva. Based on our recent studies on Pāli palm leaf manuscripts of the Paññāsa-Jātaka, this paper investigates this type of declarations. Further, similar declarations in parallel stories in jātaka collections in Sri Lanka and Myammar, as well as declarations in related accounts in the Pāli Nikāyas and their commentaries are examined. (See Unebe 2012 for an English version.)
