Abstract
The following article serves as an introduction to one of the world’s greatest traveller Alma Maximiliane Karlin (1889–1950) and her music-religion related objects she probably brought from Japan, where she stayed from the beginning of June 1922 to July 1923. Not numerous, but in comparison to similar objects brought from other countries, the largest in number, the collection shows Karlin’s preference for simple instrument miniatures such as are models or miniatures of instruments shamisen, koto, yakumo-goto. Interesting are as well objects, which are indirectly related to Japanese music; ukiyo-e, postcards and small colored prins on postcards, depicting themes related to Japanese traditional instruments, small bronze tengu mask and others.
In order to better define those instruments and find a possible relation of these instruments and their religious practices to Karlin’s life, the article focuses as well on the Karlin’s non-classical travelogue, Slovenian translations of Einsame Weltreise: Die Tragödie einer Frau (Lonely Travel, 1929), in particular where she depicts her travel and stay in Japan. From her collection of instruments and her writings, the author searches how and to what extent Karlin developed a sense of, or was devoted to certain instruments which express some relation to Shinto or Buddhist religious practices.
下面的文章将介绍世界上最伟大的旅行家之一阿尔玛·马克西米利安·卡林(1889-1950),以及她可能从日本带来的与音乐和宗教有关的物品,她从1922年6月初到1923年7月一直住在日本。虽然数量不多,但与从其他国家带来的同类物品相比,数量最多的藏品显示了Karlin对简单乐器微缩模型的偏好,例如三味生、koto、yakumo-goto乐器的模型或微缩模型。有趣的东西,也与日本音乐间接相关;世绘、明信片和小彩色明信片上王子,描绘的主题与日本传统乐器,小青铜tengu面具等 . 为了更好地定义这些乐器,并找到这些乐器及其宗教习俗与Karlin生活的可能关系,本文也关注Karlin的非古典游记,斯洛文尼亚语翻译的Einsame Weltreise: Die Tragödie einer Frau(孤独的旅行,1929),特别是她描述了她在日本的旅行和停留。从她收集的乐器和她的作品中,作者研究了Karlin是如何以及在多大程度上形成了对某些乐器的感觉,或者是对这些乐器的投入,这些乐器表达了与神道教或佛教宗教习俗的某种关系。
