Secular and Concretization:Ukiyo-e Illustration and the Acceptance of Journey to the West

中国通俗戏曲小说插图深刻影响了浮世绘,浮世绘《西游记》插图在和式世俗化、幻想具象化上的努力,使精心翻译制作的《绘本西游记》更易为江户时期的日本民众所接受。浮世绘画师对异域的想象,在插图中仪礼、衣冠、相貌等和汉兼容的样式上,体现了江户民众对中国唐代的理解;对《西游记》中妖怪的形象、奇幻的场景等作精心的描摹,又满足了江户时期民众热衷于妖怪的心理,对感官刺激的诉求以及对人间场景奥义的探求。其艺术处理与接受方式,体现了日本市井的观念。
