She does not identify herself, although she is the transformation of the turtle that was spared.

He cannot restrain his temptation to open the box which he was cautioned not to open, [22] whereupon three wisps of purple cloud appear and turn him into an old man. These variants fall into four broad groups, clustered by their similarity. The Otogi Bunko version, despite its conventional status as the type text, differs considerably from the typical children's storybook published in the modern day: Group I texts are more similar to the modern version, as it contains the element of Urashima purchasing the turtle to save it.

And the expression tamatebako or "jeweled hand-box" familiar to modern readers is also seen in the main text of Group I, and not the other groups the interpolated poem excepted. Hayashi Kouhei has highlighted the characteristics of the Group I texts as follows: In this variant, Urashima is localized as being from "Kitamae Oshima". When he opened the lid, the first box on the top contained a crane 's feather, and the second a puff of white smoke that turned him into an old man, and the third a mirror, which made him see for himself that he had suddenly grown old.

The feather from the first box then attached itself to his back, and Urashima flew up to the sky, encircling his mother's grave. There is no single base text in Japanese identifiable, although it has been conjectured that Chamberlain adapted from "a popular version" and not straying far from it except adding explanatory or instructive passages for young readers. The tortoise reappears in her true form as the Sea-God's daughter, and invites him to the Dragon Palace. There the couple are married and live happily for 3 years, but Urashima misses seeing his parents and his brothers.

The Dragon Princess reluctantly allows him to leave, giving him a box he is instructed never to open, for it will cause him never to be able to return to the palace. When he returns to his home village, his absence turns out to have been years. Urashima now wishes to go back to the Dragon Palace but he does not know the means, and opens the box. He turns into a white-haired, wrinkled old man and dies. Lafcadio Hearn , who lived in Japan and translated or adapted many ghost stories from the country, rewrote the Urashima tale under the title The Dream of a Summer Day in the late 19th century, working off of a copy of Chamberlain's "Japanese Fairy Tale Series" version.

In one, he falls to dust and dies, in another, he transforms into a crane and flies up to the sky. In another, he grows gills and leaps into the sea, whereby he regains his youth. In another version Urashima ate a magic pill that gave him the ability to breathe underwater. In another version, he is swept away by a storm before he can rescue the turtle. More recent editions of these texts tend to favor the "Ura no Shimako" reading, [59] although some consider this debatable. It has also been proposed that it was not until the Heian Period that the misreading "Urashima no ko" became current, because names with the suffix -ko "child" came to be regarded as female, even though it once applied to either gender.

As for the relative dating of these texts, an argument has been advanced that places the Fudoki version as the oldest. Urashimako catches a five-coloured turtle and keeps it in his boat, and during his sleep, the creature transforms into a beautiful woman. They are greeted by first seven, then eight children, who represent the constellations of Pleiades and Taurus or more precisely the Hyades cluster [79] [80] who address him as the "husband of Kame Hime Princess Turtle ". After three years, the man develops a longing for his parents and homeland.

Forgetting the promise, he opens the box, whereupon a beautiful figure like a fragrant orchid is carried away to the heavens with the clouds, and he realizes he can never meet the princess again. Aston 's translation assigns this the year A. The entry states that Urashimako child Urashima, child of Urashima, etc. The piece is ascribed to Takahashi no Mushimaro.

Basil Hall Chamberlain indicated the presence of a temple dedicated to Urashima at Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama , which housed several relics such as Urashima's fishing-line, and the casket tamatebako. The old Urashima-dera sat on a mountain top. There is a circulating pamphlet which shows the view of the harbor from this vantage point, depicting the fleet of Black Ships led by Commodore Perry 's fleet in — But the father moved to Tango Province.

He finally found the grave, thanks to Princess Oto-hime who lit up an illuminating light on a pine branch. The hut later became Kampuku-ji temple. She leads him to the Dragon Palace. Three months pass and the man wishes to return, but the goddess reveals 33 generations have already passed in his absence. The man receives a folded-up piece of paper he is forbidden from unwrapping, but he opens this packet and a piece of white hair clings to him, turning him into an old man, and he dies.

He was enshrined at the place which was named Usani-daki, because the man had "sat and reposed" usani in his despair. Similar tales are found on Miyako-jima and other places. But he turned out not to have died a mortals death, and lived on. This legend originated in near-modern times, from the late Muromachi to Edo periods. He and Tamayori-hime fall in love. She is very much a mortal, but after she commits suicide in Ina River tributary of Kiso River , she becomes transformed into a supernatural being serving the Dragon Palace.

Note the "catching of the turtle" scene is transposed from ocean to a river in the mountains.

The story bears varying degrees of similarity to folktales from other cultures. Rip Van Winkle is the foremost familiar example, although strictly speaking this cannot be called a "folktale", since it is a fictional work by Washington Irving loosely based on folklore. In her early career, Jackson credited her brothers Michael and Jermaine as musical influences. The youngest sister of the "precious Jackson clan", [] Janet Jackson has striven to distance her professional career from that of her older brother Michael and the rest of the Jackson family.

Steve Dollar of Newsday wrote that "[s]he projects that home girl-next-door quality that belies her place as the youngest sibling in a family whose inner and outer lives have been as poked at, gossiped about, docudramatized and hard-copied as the Kennedys. Emerging in just as big brother Michael was casting his longest shadow, Jackson filled her albums not so much with songs as with declarations, from 'The Pleasure Principle' to the radical-sounding 'Rhythm Nation' to the telling statement of purpose, 'Control'. Steve Huey of Allmusic asserted that despite being born into a family of entertainers, Janet Jackson has managed to emerge a " superstar " in her own right, rivaling not only several female recording artists including Madonna and Whitney Houston, but also her brother, while "successfully [shifting] her image from a strong, independent young woman to a sexy, mature adult.

Jackson has also been recognized for playing a pivotal role in crossing racial boundaries in the recording industry, where black artists were once considered to be substandard. When black artists cross over into pop success they cease to be black in the industry sense of the word. They get promoted from racialized black music to universal pop music in an economically driven process of racial transcendence.

Global Women's Issues and Knowledge documented that Jackson, along with other prominent African-American women, had achieved financial breakthroughs in mainstream popular music, receiving "superstar status" in the process. She, alongside her contemporaries "offered viable creative, intellectual, and business paths for establishing and maintaining agency, lyrical potency, marketing and ownership.

Simon Reynolds described Jackson's collaborations with her record producers as a reinvention of the dance-pop genre, introducing a new sonic palate. Her artistic brilliance and personal appeal transcend geographic, cultural and generational boundaries. In March , Business Wire reported "Janet Jackson is one of the top ten selling artists in the history of contemporary music; ranked by Billboard magazine as the ninth most successful act in rock and roll history, and the second most successful female artist in pop music history.

Virgin Records executive Lee Trink expressed: She's one of those gifted artists that people look up to, that people emulate, that people want to believe in Sarah Rodman of the Boston Herald remarked: So when you're thinking of asking Miss Jackson, 'What have you done for me lately? The marriage was annulled in November The marriage was kept a secret until the split was announced. In January , the couple separated and were divorced in The couple became engaged and married privately in In April , it was announced that the couple had separated and were pursuing a divorce.
