Medieval Japanese Literature
Japan's medieval period (the Kamakura period, Kamakura, Nanbokuchō period, Nanbokuchō and Muromachi period, Muromachi periods, and sometimes the Azuchi–Momoyama period) was a transitional period for the nation's literature. Kyoto ceased being the sole literary centre as important writers and readerships appeared throughout the country, and a wider variety of genres and literary forms developed accordingly, such as the ''gunki monogatari'' and ''otogi-zōshi'' prose narratives, and ''renga'' linked verse, as well as various theatrical forms such as ''noh''. Medieval Japanese literature can be broadly divided into two periods: the early and late , the former lasting roughly 150 years from the late 12th to the mid-14th century, and the latter until the end of the 16th century. The early saw a continuation of the Heian literature, literary trends of the classical period, with court fiction (''monogatari'') continuing to be written, and composition of ''waka (poetry), waka'' poet ...

Folklorism
Folklorism or folklorismus is a concept of folklore transmission developed by Hans Moser and, separately, Viktor Gusev. It can be defined neutrally, for example "The innovative and often commercial use of folk materials such as costumes, folk songs, folktales, proverbs, and so forth, outside their traditional contexts", or more pejoratively, for example as "spurious and misleading 'fake-lore' that exists in a 'second life' outside its 'source-community,' is materialistic and popular (e.g., 'commercialized folklore'), and is manifest in an 'objectified form'." Categories Folklorism can be broadly categorized in three ways: the performance of folk culture away from its original context, the playful imitation of popular motifs by another social class, and the creation of folklore for different purposes outside of any known tradition. The third form of folkorism, the creation of new forms of folklore outside of existing traditions, can be compared with the concept of fakelore. ...
