幽灵图
幽灵图(日语:幽霊図/ゆうれいず Yūrei zu)是由鬼魂、恶魔和其他鬼神為題材的日本繪畫流派。而幽灵图也被认为是日本的风俗画,[1]于19世纪末的幕末时期最為盛行。[2]
幽灵的定義
[编辑]幽灵可包括化身物、妖怪、死灵(亡灵(日语:亡霊)等。信仰超自然生物是日本的一项悠久传统。幽灵的来源包括佛教,道教和中国民间传说。最显着的影响,是日本神道的泛灵论,它指出我们的物质世界是由800万无所不在的鬼神所组成。[3]
日本的鬼魂基本上是从地府中为了完成一个优秀的使命而“请假”外出。[4]而日本的灵魂(日语:霊魂)则是那些枉死、死無葬身之地、或死后有着强烈的怨念、以及無主孤魂。而他们的“灵魂”实现了愿望后,则可以转世。[5]根据糅合佛教及民間信仰的思想,从現世(日语:この世)到靈界(日语:あの世)需要七七四十九天,而在中陰身,他们可以在這段期間解决现世未解决的问题。[6]而个人一生的痛苦程度与他们在前世的惡行严重程度有密切的关系。[7]虽然幽灵们的意图并不总是邪恶的,但他们的行动的结果却几乎总是对人类有害。[4]而有信仰认为,鬼魂只能通过一名在世的人的祈祷来得到释放,他的灵魂才能被允许进入冥界。[3]
历史背景
[编辑]存在于日本画卷的幽灵形象,以及血腥和怪诞的场景轴可以追溯到平安時代,而这个传统一直持续到近几个世纪以来,[8] 例如“幽灵画”在19世纪后期达到流行巅峰状态,[2]与幽灵相关的“歌舞伎”以及与幽灵相关的怪談。[1]学术机构“persistent popularity”[9]认为这种神秘物是在“不稳定的社会条件”的江户后期盛行,[2]其中包括普遍存在压迫的德川幕府政权、西方的入侵以及一些自然灾害。 [10][11]
幽灵图及戏剧
[编辑]日本的鬼故事有着悠久的民俗传统,在江戶時代初开始便成為戲劇題材。[3]至于歌舞伎在18世纪后开始流行,也创作出了很多以幽灵为题材的戏剧。[3]
审查
[编辑]德川政权试图恢复其封建农业基础,于1842年开始进行天保改革(日语:天保の改革),改革涉及到日常生活的许多方面。除了经济、军事、农业、宗教外,還包括艺术。[12]改革的目的是从根本上稳定物价和令人民忠於政權,[13]而在艺术领域的改革使得如艺妓、花魁等妓女和歌舞伎題材作品被禁止。[14]1842年老中水野忠邦下令禁買賣歌舞伎伶人、遊女和艺妓等被認為是有傷風化版画。促使了浮世繪轉向非現實題材發展[13]。
