Hiya, thanks for indulging me in my little hyper fixation!

（╹◡╹）♡

I have more questions if you’re interested in sharing!

Is there any connection between the real Port if Yokohama and the irl authors? Did Asagiri choose Yokohama for a specific reason or something like that?

Do the authors in a specific organisation get chosen for their irl relationships or was it randomized?

How do the literary texts have connections with manifestation of the ability in universe? (Some are obvious others not so much eg. For the Tainted Sorrow = gravity???????)

Sorry for the long ask. I hope you have a nice day! :D

I've hesitated to answer this ask because I wanted to be thorough and give each question due consideration. Further, the latter two questions rely a lot on my individual interpretation and I can't offer very much objectivity. But, I think I might be overthinking it, so below, please find attempts at answering each in turn.

The Port of Yokohama

The characters in Bungo Stray Dogs are named after and inspired by authors from modern Japanese literature. The "modern" era of Japan is generally (albeit not necessarily appropriately) measured as beginning during the Meiji Restoration, during which Japan restored centralized Imperial rule, ended a centuries-long seclusion by opening its borders to the West, and rapidly industrialized. For reference, Britain's Industrial Revolution spanned eighty years, from 1760 to 1840. By contrast, Japan industrialized within, roughly, forty years.

Japan reluctantly opened to the West under duress; Commodore Perry arrived in Japan with a squadron of armed warships, a white flag, and a letter with a list of demands from US President Fillmore. A year later, Japan signed the disadvantageous and exploitive Treaty of Amity and Commerce with the United States (日米修好通商条約, Nichibei Shūkō Tsūshō Jōyaku), which opened the ports of Kanagawa and four other Japanese cities to trade and granted extraterritoriality to foreigners, among other trading stipulations.

However, Kanagawa was very close to a strategic highway that linked Edo to Kyoto and Osaka, and the then-government of Japan did not relish granting foreigners so much access to Japan's interior. So, instead, the sleepy fishing village of Yokohama was outfitted with all the facilities and accoutrements of a bustling port town (including state-sponsored brothels), and the Port of Yokohama opened to foreign trade on June 2, 1859.

Thus, Yokohama is representative of Japan's opening to the West, including Western literature. Short stories and novels as the mediums we know them were Western imports to Japan, and Western literature shaped, inspired, and became subject to cross-cultural examination by Japanese authors.

This included Russian literature: Kameyama Ikuo, a Japanese scholar of Russian literature, described Fyodor Dostovesky's enduring popularity in Japan as follows:

In Japan, there were two Dostoevsky booms during the Meiji period [1868-1912], and The Brothers Karamazov being translated into Japanese for the first time in 1917 triggered a third. After that, critics like Kobayashi Hideo led fourth and fifth waves of popularity before and after World War II, and then Ōe Kenzaburō led the sixth wave around 1968, right when the student protests were at their height. Today we might say we’re in the middle of a seventh, with Murakami Haruki writing about how he was influenced by The Brothers Karamazov.

I've oversimplified Yokohama's role in Japan's modern engagement with the West substantially for the sake of brevity, but in short, yes, Kafka Asagiri chose the Port of Yokohama for a reason. Yokohama was, for a time, Japan's most influential, culturally relevant international metropolis, before becoming eclipsed by Tokyo in more recent history.

The Organizations

There aren't bright-line rules to explain why each character is in each organization, although it isn't randomized either.

Attempts to delineate between the organizations based on the irl!authors' philosophies, legacies, literary genres, degrees of acceptance or rejection of Western influence, etc., are inaccurate oversimplifications at best. (At worst, they're orientalist and, in some cases, conflate fascist ideology with literary aesthetics -- or literary aesthetics with violence; I've seen both, oddly enough.)

That said, the namesakes' irl relationships and literary impacts are sources of inspiration for the relationships in bsd, including between and among the various organizations. For example, Jouno, Tetchou, and Fukuchi were all among Japan's first Western-style newspaper editors. Kouyou and Mori were in the same literary circles and collaborated on influential publications; such as the magazine in which they penned anonymous reviews of works by emerging authors that made or broke careers, and which established modern literary criticism in Japan. Akutagawa is such an enduring and intimidating titan in Japanese literature; the sharpness of his prose and his ability to gut me like a fish suit bsd!Akutagawa's theatric and violent role within the Port Mafia.

But, Mori Ogai and Yosano Akiko were dear friends, Chuuya Nakahara idolized Kenji Miyazaki, and modern Japanese authors weren't mafiosos, private detectives, military police, or surreptitious intelligence officers. I'd warn against (i) cramming bsd's characters into oversimplified archetypes or literary devices and (ii) overinflating the importance of or reading any certainty into the patterns and reflections of the irl!authors. bsd makes dynamic and creative use of its source material to tell a story that's very much its own.

The source material absolutely adds depth, commentary, and intention to Kafka Asagiri's storytelling, but only if read within the context and framework of the story being told.

For an example of why strict dichotomies and oversimplified metanalysis don't work for comparing the various organizations, I wrote a post explaining why it's inaccurate to compare the Port Mafia and the Agency using an East vs. West framework here.

The Abilities

Yes, the literary texts inspire how the corresponding abilities manifest in-universe. At least, I think so, based on my own interpretations. For example, I see the green light across the bay from The Great Gatsby in the Great Fitzgerald and a throughline between Fyodor's bloody ability and the symbolic eucharist in Crime and Punishment.

I speculate about Fyodor's ability manifesting as imagery from Crime and Punishment here.

I mention the potential relationship between irl!Akutagawa's literary voice and bsd!Akutagawa's ability here.

I also share some thoughts on Dazai and the manifestation of No Longer Human based on narration from No Longer Human here.

For the Tainted Sorrow, in particular, is a poem about grief, which characterized much of Chuuya Nakahara's brief life. I've always experienced grief in intense fluctuations of weight -- sometimes heavy and immobilizing, sometimes untethering and billowing, often compulsive and consuming. It has an immense gravity.

I've always thought that bsd!Chuuya's manipulation of gravity emblemized his intense and layered relationship with grief -- for irl!Chuuya, his brother, his parents' brutal expectations, his lover, his friends, his son; for bsd!Chuuya, the Sheep, the Flags, the yet-named seven taken by Shibusawa's fog. But where irl!Chuuya was seemingly crushed by the gravity of what he lost, bsd!Chuuya defiantly persists with a rougish levity, his grief galvanizing his ferocious love for others and his desire to live for and in service of their memories.

To roughly quote bsd!Chuuya's character song, "I will manipulate even the weight of this cut-short life."

But, that's only my interpretation; take it with a grain of salt. Or with the weight of several pounds of salt. The extent to which it compels you is yours to decide.

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd meta #bsd analysis #i have no idea if any of this is useful to anyone given its subjectivity and cursory overview of really complex topics #i have more thorough breakdowns of things like my crime and punishment analysis and the influence of the West on modern japanese literature #but each of these answers could be a dissertation length analysis and unfortunately I do not have the bandwidth to go totally wild on them

洋種山牛蒡[Yōshuyamagobō] Phytolacca americana

洋種[Yōshu] : Western type

山[Yama] : Mountain

牛蒡[Gobō] : Great burdock(Arctium lappa) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinpira

Pokeweed or Inkberry. It is native to North America and was introduced in the Meiji period(1868-1912) and is feral throughout the country today. It is so named because its root resembles that of a burdock and is long.

It is poisonous. However, its berries sometimes mistakenly eaten because they turn blackish purple when ripe and their appearance resembles clusters of grapes.

It is also known as 亜米利加山牛蒡[Amerikayamagobō]. 亜米利加 means America. When referring to 日本[Nihon|Nippon](Japan) and 亜米利加(アメリカ, the United States,) we say 日米[Nichibei] for short.

“Attitudes towards male-male sex have thus altered (note: in Japan) dramatically during the past 125 years. The changes are due in large part to the nature of Japan’s incorporation into the world system since 1859, when the first treaty ports were opened to foreign trade (1). A consensus developed within the Japanese ruling elite that Japan must absorb Western learning in order to obtain respect of Western nations and reverse the terms of the unequal treaties.

Such ‘learning’ included the hitherto unknown concept of ‘illegitimacy’; a new conviction that phallic religious images were shameful and deserving of destruction; and homophobia. As early as the mid-eighteenth century, Andō Shōeki favourably commented on Dutch sexual mores, including the intolerance of homosexuality. The scholar of ‘Dutch Learning’ (Rangakusha), Morishima Nakayoshi, wrote in 1787 that in Holland “nanshoku is strictly forbidden, and if someone acts contrary to nature and commits this crime, the active partner is burned, and the youth who takes the passive role is drowned in the sea.” By the late nineteenth century Japanese elites had come to share the view that homosexuality (now referred to by the term dōseiai, or ‘same sex love’) was ‘unnatural’, and some called for its criminalisation. The editors for the progressive newspaper Yorozu chōhō ran exposes on the prevalence of homosexual behaviour amongst Tokyo students, and in 1899 the English-language publication Eastern World editorialised against ‘bestial’, ‘unnatural’, ‘infamous’ and ‘unclean’ practices of ‘the future lawgivers, officials and teachers of Japan. Male-male sex acts, it argued ‘are condemned and punished as crimes in all civilised countries’. It called for a provisiion in the Japanese criminal code comparable to Article 174 of the German code, which punished homosexual acts with up to five years’ imprisonment.” - Gary P. Leupp, Male Colours: The Construction of Homosexuality in Tokugawa Era Japan

(1) Following the Treaty of Amity and Commerce ( 日米修好通商条約, Nichibei Shūkō Tsūshō Jōyaku) or Harris Treaty imposed by the US, and followed by a series of other unequal treaties with European powers. The word ‘opened’ implies a more benign process than it was.

Japanese copy of the Convention of Kanagawa, ratified February 21, 1855

The Convention of Kanagawa, also known as the Kanagawa Treaty (神奈川条約, Kanagawa Jōyaku) or the Japan–US Treaty of Peace and Amity (日米和親条約, Nichibei Washin Jōyaku), was a treaty signed between the United States and the Tokugawa Shogunate on March 31, 1854.

Signed under threat of force, it effectively meant the end of Japan's 220-year-old policy of national seclusion (sakoku) by opening the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to American vessels.

It also ensured the safety of American castaways and established the position of an American consul in Japan. The treaty precipitated the signing of similar treaties establishing diplomatic relations with other Western powers.
