Finally, after a long time, I got to complete this novel. The reason it took me a little more time to complete this novel is the beginning. It does not captivate you from the very start like other novels by Dostoevsky but it's worth it after some pages. The main theme of the book is the concept Dostoevsky has mentioned in his other works “Beauty will save the world.”

The story revolves around a prince named Myshkin, who is returning from Switzerland. On the train, he meets Rogozhin, an unstable man who inherited a large sum of fortune from his father. Myshkin is a clean-hearted, pious, and plain speaker about whatever he wants to say. He cannot even think of doing something bad to anyone and will forgive everyone, and for that reason, people call him Idiot, thinking he does not know anything. The second person he meets is Lebedev, a minor clerk who knows everything about Petersburg’s important people.

There is a love triangle between Myshkin, Nastasya, and Aglaya. Nastasya is an epitome of beauty, unpredictability, and confidence, and also the concubine of the aristocrat Totsky, from age 16. At one point, Myshkin gets engaged to her, but she runs away to Rogozhin because his mad and violent obsession resonates with her self-destructive urge. Aglaya, on the other hand, is a very predictable girl who falls for Myshkin but keeps saying that she does not have any affection for him at all and is quite cruel to him. She also abandoned Myshkin because, according to her, the prince was still in love with Nastasya. The soul of Myshkin gets tormented between these two. There is also a very fascinating character of Ippolit who is a young nihilist and is counting his last days because of tuberculosis. He always has a craving for love from others. He is unable to share Myshkin’s intuition of the harmonious unity of all Being, an intuition evoked most intensely earlier in the novel in a description of the pre-epileptic aura.  

According to the prince, Catholicism is an unChristian faith and that it preaches antichrist. He believed they fought just for political supremacy and it gave birth to atheism. There is no difference between the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church; they both exploit humans just for earthly gains. And what exactly is beauty? Beauty is the way you want to define it. If beauty lies in something ideal, then it can never be achieved, and if it is something like rational facts presented, then there is no unifying principle that tells us what to do with them. In terms of rational explanation, beauty is defined by many principles of mathematics like the golden ratio. Still, postmodernism argues that it is a constructed view that supports some systems such as patriarchy.

Myshkin, in the triangle of love, was also in despair because of these two. The example of Christ is presented here as someone who acts as a bridge between these two extremes; he reaches up to heaven to his father and reaches down to hell when he touches the ground and takes all of the sins of humans upon himself. But in this rational age, the bridge is broken, making many other people like Myshkin an Idiot. In the end, the prince ends up in the same condition as he was before visiting Russia because he could not hold on.

But there’s something else here. It seems that Wenders’s eye, like Hirayama’s, snagged on the shadows. The canopies of trees are omnipresent in the film, seeping into Hirayama’s dreams at night, which Wenders renders in hazy black and white.



There’s a word in Japanese that transliterates to “komorebi” and refers to a phenomenon for which there is no single word in English: the quality of light as it filters through foliage. Hirayama’s life and mind are full of shadows, despite the sunlight he keeps reaching for. The light of komorebi is not full brightness — it is glistening, ever-changing, full of variation. Hirayama loves this, and he photographs it because the constant capture of what other people miss — the subtle shifts in the canopy every single day — are for him another indication of the trees’ vitality.[Tokyo] Yoyogi Hachimangu Shrine (代々木八幡宮)

Peter Grilli, Long-time Friend of Donald Keene Devoted to Cultural Exchange between Japan, U.S. Shares Memories of Keene
The Japan News
Peter Grilli during an interview at his childhood playground, Yoyogi Hachimangu shrine in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, on April 10

By Futoshi Mori / Japan News Senior Writer

11:35 JST, April 20, 2024

Peter Grilli, a writer, documentary filmmaker, and former President of the Japan Society of Boston, was a good friend of Donald Keene’s for over half a century. He has made many significant contributions to cultural exchanges between Japan and the U.S., including various events he conducted as the Director of the Donald Keene Center at Columbia University in the 1990s. While Grilli was visiting Japan for the first time in five and a half years, I interviewed him on a day that cherry blossoms were at full peak about his memories of Keene and the current state of cultural exchange between the two countries.

Stone stairs leading up to Yoyogi Hachimangu shrine




Our meeting place was Yoyogi Hachimangu shrine in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo. Grilli had suggested that we meet at the shrine, and there was a reason for that. The grounds of the shrine appear as an important location in Wim Wenders recent film “Perfect Days,” and when Grilli saw the film he instantly recognized the location as a favorite spot from his childhood in Tokyo. The 81-year-old Grilli had lived nearby for two years beginning in 1948, when he was five years old, and the shrine was his beloved playground. Grilli, who calls this trip a sentimental journey, wanted to return to the place of his childhood memories.

As we climbed the stone steps leading up to the main shrine, he said, “In the film, there is a scene where the lead actor, Koji Yakusho, sitting on a bench here at Hachimangu shrine, looks up at the trees and says, ‘These trees are my friends.’ When I saw that, I thought, ‘That’s exactly what I used to think.’ The same trees are still here, and they are still my friends.” The house nearby where he had lived with his family is now the Embassy of Vietnam.
Reaching Ordinary People

“I think I first met Donald Keene in Japan, but I don’t remember exactly. I was never Donald’s student,” Grilli began to speak, sitting on the same bench where Yakusho sat in the movie. Starting from 1995, when Grilli became Director of the Donald Keene Center at Columbia University, the two met almost daily in New York while Keene was there for six months every year. “We talked about ordinary things, not so much about Japanese literature. We talked mostly about music, opera, cooking and occasionally a little bit about literature, too.”

The Center had been founded in 1986 by Barbara Ruch, a former student of Keene’s and herself a professor at Columbia University, with the aim of extending understanding of Japanese culture beyond the academic world to the broader American public.

During his five years as Director of the Donald Keene Center, Grilli presented many concerts, films, symposia and public performances. One example was a big international symposium about Chikamatsu Monzaemon (1653-1725), the great Edo period (1603-1867) playwright, inviting well-known Japanese professors, filmmakers, actors and theater professionals who had specialized in Chikamatsu’s plays. “Donald loved that kind of thing,” Grilli recalled. “Early in his own academic career, he had studied and translated many of Chikamatsu’s plays, and throughout his life he had a special love for the bunraku puppet theater. He was unquestionably a great professor and translator and he did superb academic work as a scholar. But he was also deeply interested in how ordinary people perceived Japan. His books, and research are of course essential studies of Japan, but he also wanted ordinary people to read them and come to understand and appreciate Japanese culture. In that way, I think Donald was quite unusual.”

Grilli felt a similar sense of responsibility to the general public. That is why Grilli was determined to share his own love of Japanese films, music, kabuki, bunraku, and other popular Japanese arts with American audiences. Earlier in his own career as a program director at the Japan Society of New York, Grilli had produced major presentations of Japanese arts to large public audiences.
Broader Cultural Relationships



During the interview, visitors to the shrine came one after another to the sacred tree on the shrine grounds, embracing the tree and praying.

“Donald was a giant!” Grilli recalled of Keene’s many accomplishments. “He did so much. Many of his books were written for ordinary people, in a style that is fairly easy to read. In that sense, his role was very extremely important.”

Grilli commented that Japanese studies in the U.S. are now in their third or fourth generation. Keene was a leader of the first postwar generation, together with Edwin O. Reischauer, Edward Seidensticker and a few others. They were the pioneers, followed by a second generation that learned from them, and now it is time for a new generation of writers and scholars, to carry forward their work.

The pioneering Keene wrote the following message in a 2013 tribute book honoring the achievements of Peter Grilli, his friend and colleague.

“It doesn’t seem possible, but I think I have known Peter for fifty years. The difficulty in recognizing this fact comes from his not having changed either in appearance or enthusiasms. His constancy shows in his love for the classics of music: even works he has heard countless times, he still hears with excitement. His unfailing taste enables him also to discover and enjoy what is of genuine worth in the new.”

Grilli moved to Boston in 2000 and became President of the Japan Society of Boston, where he has devoted himself to cultural exchange between Japan and Boston. The Japan Society of Boston is the oldest Japan Society in the U.S., celebrating its 120th anniversary this year. John Manjiro (Nakahama Manjiro), the famous Japanese fisherman who, in 1841, was rescued by an American whaling ship after being lost at sea in the Pacific Ocean, later arrived in the U.S., and lived near Boston, Massachusetts, where the Japan Society of Boston is located. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Peabody Essex Museum of Salem also have renowned collections of Japanese fine arts as well as the everyday items of Japanese commoners during the Edo and Meiji eras (1868-1912), collected by Edward Morse, who discovered the well-known Omori Kaizuka Shell Mounds archaeological site.

During my interview with Peter Grilli, I felt his warm personality and passion for Japanese culture. Similarly, Donald Keene wrote this message in the tribute book.

“Peter is a great collector, not so much of recordings of music as of people. His warmth and concern for others makes friends even of strangers. I know no one who has as many friends in Japan and that must be true of Boston as well.”

As we sat talking quietly at Yoyogi Hachimangu shrine, we noticed a visitor embracing a large sacred tree in the vicinity of the shrine, across the way from our bench. She seemed to be praying to the tree, and Grilli gazed at her intently.

“It’s interesting,” he said. “How traditional cultural values seem to be preserved in such places.” And then, he continued: “The opportunities for cultural exchanges are much greater now between Japan and other countries. For example, just consider the JET program, where young people come and teach in local Japanese communities spending two or three years. They go back to their native countries, where some of them — remembering their friendships in Japan — continue to work in Japan-related businesses or in Japanese studies. That’s a vital new kind of relationship which, I am sure, will become increasingly important in the future.”
