âDon Quixote,â as has recently been shown by a French writer, Léon Charpentier (see Current Literature, June), was a Japanese, Oriental creation long before a Western artist conceived and painted him. Now it seems that âDon Juanâ also has a Japanese prototype.
The same French writer, who is apparently exploring the ancient and forgotten realms of Japanese legendary lore and romance, announces the discovery of a full-grown Japanese Don Juan. He cannot find anything in the Western character, so long a favorite with novelists, poets, librettists and dramatists, that the Oriental creator of the type did not think of and put into the picture. In fact, the Japanese âDon Juanâ is a singularly rich, brilliant, colorful study.
Details of this work are given in an article in the Paris Figaro. The Japanese Don Juan is called Genji, and the romance in which his amorous adventures are set forth is entitled âGenji Monogatari.â The romance is in fifty-four books or parts, and âseems a trifle long even to the Japanese.â139
