ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

There are many people who have helped throughout the duration of our Japanese materials development project. We would like to acknowledge the contributions of the administrators, teachers, and students of the Hawaii Department of Education who have supported us for eight long years. Without their cooperation and encouragement such a project could not have been started, much less completed. We also give special thanks to the administrators, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, and the Curriculum Development and Research Group of the College of Education of the University of Hawaii for the many ways in which they have supported and encouraged us throughout the years. We deeply appreciate their trust and belief in our efforts, and their financial support through the University of Hawaii Foundation, which helped us to complete Volume 4 with little delay. To teachers Ann Abe (Lincoln), Howard Asao (Farrington High), Joanne Kodama (Punahou), June Kuwabara (Castle High), and Dahleen Sawai (Farrington High), and to Dean Yamato (Graduate Student) we owe gratitude and appreciation for their sincere and dedicated assistance in completing Volume 4 and its components. We are also grateful to Mitsugu Sakihara of the University of Hawaii History Department for his assistance particularly in the area of Japanese history, and to Shozo Kurokawa of Seiwa University, Osaka, Japan, for helping us with editorial tasks requested at the last minute. We cannot thank the University of Hawaii Press enough for their patience and guidance in the completion and publication of the JAPANESE NOW series of four volumes and their accompanying Teacher's Manuals and Exercise Sheets. Again we say mahalo to all for their assistance in the development of this four-year sequence of curriculum materials for teaching the Japanese language to nonnative students.

INTRODUCTION

Volume 4 can be divided into two parts. The first eleven lessons present the history of Japan by historical periods, highlighting the major events that occurred in each of these periods. Lessons 12 through 17 are narratives about the modernization of Japan and the social, economic, and cultural problems and challenges that Japan faces today. Volumes 1 and 2 emphasized listening and speaking skills, while in Volume 3 priority was given to reading and writing. Volume 4 now concentrates on reading selections, which are primarily for reading comprehension and translation. The material here is carefully correlated with the material in the first three volumes, so that students should be able to read and interpret the selections without difficulty. To facilitate the recognition and reading of kanji, the use of furigana has been limited to newly introduced kanji and to the kanji to be learned for reading and writing, as well as to the names of persons and places, except for what appears in the glossary. For the list of kanji to be learned in each lesson, the on and kun readings are given in katakana and hiragana, respectively. The lessons in this volume utilize structures and vocabulary that have already been introduced, along with new structures and many new vocabulary items that have been included for passive learning. In time, many of these new words can become active vocabulary through repeated practice with the narratives and drills. The lessons are short but informative, and they should give students a good general background to the history, culture, and literature of Japan, enabling them to understand and appreciate better the language, culture, and people of Japan today.

THE JAPANESE SYLLABARY AND WRITING SYSTEM 1.

At the beginning of Volume 1, the Japanese 2 1 + a 1 or 1 ^ 5 x_ fc syllabary was presented for reading and writing Japanese. 1 ^ 5 x. 3o is the standard Japanese syllabary and is used as the basis for verb conjugation introduced in Volume 2. There is another Japanese syllabary, called I ^ t i , and this is commonly used for putting into sections or enumerating subjects, topics, statements, and so forth. Alphabetizing in Japanese may be done according to the H-herHIM or ^5 which is generally used in listing names, vocabulary, and the like, while the l ^ t i l l l is also commonly used to itemize statements, topics, titles, and so forth, as in the titles of chapters 5, 6, 9, and 10 in this volume. n The card game called fi^ ?> tz or I £ tz is based on the I t t syllabary instead of 5 x_ fc. I t i is also used in an expression l ^ t i ^ l ^ O ^ ^ D b f a l N (He) doesn't even know the I ^ of I •••bit, meaning "(He) is pitifully ignorant." The l i i syllabary is actually used to make up a poem, in which four lines of seven syllables alternate with four lines of five syllables, and all of the kana syllables are incorporated: yf

h,

All matters, once prosperous,

]

Will perish in the end.

ji h -t -tr 7,

Nor become inebriated.

Commas indicate the places where pauses are to be made. (Note: Line 3 in the poem above contains six rather than the usual seven syllables; a Japanese poem may have lines that contain one or two more, or fewer, syllables than expected in the pattern, depending on the words used. Also, and z., which appear in lines 5 and 8, are no longer in use, and have been deleted from the i ^ h t and ¿fel ^ 5 syllabaries. Formerly, there were some differences in pronunciation between 4- and -i , and between ^ and but these differences no longer exist.) 2.

Japanese can be written vertically, in columns that go from right to left; or it can be written in horizontal lines that read from left to right. When numbers are written in vertical columns, kanji are used, and the year, month, and day appear as in example (a) here. In horizontal writing, it is more common to use arabic numbers, as in example (b). Ex. b)

In this text, both ways of writing numbers are employed, so that students will become familiar with them and have an opportunity to practice reading them. Ex.

r . ^ 7 5 or 2 ^ 7 5 ; - f c M or 7 M i

Ex. a) — ^ A A J ft — -

NOTES FOR "SENTENCE ANALYSIS AND TRANSLATION EXERCISES" In the Drills section of each chapter, there is a subsection titled "Sentence analysis and translation exercise." The note numbers in this subsection refer to the numbered notes below. 1. In Japanese sentences there are two words that look like the subject. One is called the topic and is followed by the particle tit; the other is called the subject and is followed by fi*. Ex.

i ^ f

itfej/^

L^-ei-j&N,

The topic indicates broadly what the rest of the sentence is about, while the subject is more specific. When either the topic (with H) or the subject (with appears alone in a sentence, it is generally translated as the subject in English (see numbers 7 and 10 below). 2. In some sentences the topic or the subject may be omitted when it has appeared in a previous sentence or when the subject is clear without being mentioned. This is why some Japanese sentences "have no subject." So, in comprehending and translating a Japanese sentence, a good procedure is to locate the predicate of each clause first, and then to find the topic and/or the subject related to each predicate. 3. In this text the following symbols are used in each lesson to identify the function of the word, phrase, or clause: T S P

= = = o = PM = QT = QS = QP = QPM =

Topic Subject Predicate Object Modifier of predicate Topic of quotation Subject of quotation Predicate of quotation PM of quotation

Tl, T2, SI, S2,

( [

PI = P2 = PI = P2 = )= ]=

T1 is the topic for PI T2 is the topic for P2 S1 is the subject for PI S2 is the subject for P2 Modifier of nominal Quoted portion

4. Nominal i t The nominal with i t is the topic and is translated as the subject or the topic or as an adverb in English. Ex. a)

^

$ i t Mfa o tz0

As for yesterday, it was hot. (Yesterday was hot.) b)

j ^ o j m m^a

o tz0

As for yesterday, I went to the beach. (Yesterday, I went to the beach.) 5. - < 0 The particle - C - f 0

The Meiji period begins. In non-conversational Japanese, historical events are sometimes described in the non-past tense. The non-past tense brings the reader vividly back to that time, and makes him feel as if he were at the scene.
