From his impoverished upbringing to his tragic suicide in exile, Kazan's life and work reflected a turbulent period in Japan's history. He was a famous artist, a Confucian scholar, a student of Western culture, a samurai, and a critic of the shogunate who, nevertheless, felt compelled to kill himself for fear that he had caused his lord anxiety. During this period, a typical Japanese scholar or artist refused to acknowledge the outside world, much like a "frog in the well that knows nothing of the ocean," but Kazan actively sought out Western learning. He appreciated European civilization and bought every scrap of European art that was available in Japan. He became a painter to help his family out of poverty and, by employing the artistic techniques of the West, achieved great success with his realistic and stylistically advanced portraits. Although he remained a nationalist committed to the old ways, Kazan called on the shogunate to learn from the West or risk disaster. He strove to improve the agricultural and economic conditions of his province and reinforce its defenses, but his criticisms and warnings about possible coastal invasions ultimately led to his arrest and exile. Frog in the Well is the first full-length biography of Kazan in English, and, in telling his life's story, renowned scholar Donald Keene paints a fascinating portrait of the social and intellectual milieus of the late Tokugawa period. Richly illustrated with Kazan's paintings, Frog in the Well illuminates a life that is emblematic of the cultural crises affecting Japan in the years before revolution. 410 0$aAsia perspectives. 606 $aPainters$zJapan$vBiography 607 $aJapan$xIntellectual life$y1600-1868 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPainters 676 $a759.952 676 $aB 700 $aKeene$b Donald$0479439 701 $aWatanabe$b Kazan$f1793-1841.$01034988 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452072103321 996 $aFrog in the well$92454414 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02836nam 2200565 450 001 9910787656703321 005 20230803031522.0 010 $a1-908230-75-4 035 $a(CKB)2670000000427606 035 $a(EBL)1938096 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001037037 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12482561 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001037037 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11042678 035 $a(PQKB)10601140 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1938096 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5897854 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5897854 035 $a(OCoLC)861536386 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000427606 100 $a20191011d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aFusarium $egenomics, molecular and cellular biology /$fedited by Daren W.

In addition, some strains produce mycotoxins that can cause serious illness in humans and livestock. The enormous economic importance of, and health hazards posed by, Fusarium have fuelled research by scientists worldwide into its biochemistry, genetics, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. The primary aim of this research is the identification of strategies to reduce crop diseases and the risks posed to human and animal health.
