Therefore, when considering coloristic characteristics in literature, it is necessary to use an integrated approach.Aunique feature of the novel is that the color descriptions do not come from the author herself. Murasaki Shikibu looks at situations and colors through the eyes of the heroes, and through this there is a deeper understanding of both the feelings of the beholder and the image of the hero who is looked at. Not a single mention of color is accidental or simply decorative; behind all color names there is a deep, specific meaning and purpose. The report examines numerous scenes from The Tale of Genji, where the colors of clothing are described, and provides an analysis of the role of color terms in the context of each situation. Colors correspond to age, court rank, season, situation and social status. Of course, there was also a certain symbolism for each color, which was based on associations with flowering plants, technologies for producing dyes, allusions in language, etc. Keywords: Japan color, color culture, japanese costume, Tale of Genji. Khronopulo Liala (SPbSU), l.khronopulo@spbu.ru Allusions to Classical Japanese Literature in the Collection of Poems in Prose by Richard G. Brautigan “June 30th, June 30th” Richard Gary Brautigan (1935–1984) was anAmerican postmodern writer and poet popular in Japan, whose creative activity was greatly influenced by Japanese literature and culture. InMay and June of 1976, during his first trip to Japan, Brautigan created a cycle of seventy-seven poems in prose dedicated to this journey—“June 30th, June 30th”. This paper examines the images of Japan that push the poet towards introspection and reflection and can be metaphorically understood as a travel inside one’s own self, as a way to self-awareness. Themes, ideas, artistic devices and literary techniques, allusions to classical Japanese poetry, as well as the influence of Zen Buddhism and haibun literary form on Brautigan’s poetic experiments are analyzed. The writer’s poems of the Japanese cycle are discussed with regard to the references in his work to Japanese medieval literature, the aesthetics of which he combines with postmodern tendencies. The postmodern image of the lyrical character, who acutely feels his loneliness, comes to the forefront; for him, Japan for the first time shifts from the realm of fantasy to the realm of actual experience, which pushes the poet towards introspection. Postmodernism in this collection of poetry is manifested in the fact that the personality of the protagonist is a reflective project, and the images of Japan are depicted as catalysts for this reflection. The collection is characterized by such techniques as intertextuality; fragmentation; removal of boundaries between reality and illusion; irony, allegory, symbolism of images, and use of hybrid genres. At the same time, allusions to classical Japanese literature are in the diary structure (a travel journal) of the poetry collection, partly reminiscent of haibun, partly — of zuihitsu; as well as in references to a number of traditional images from haiku by poets Bashō Matsuo and Kobayashi Issa (a frog, a crow, a dewdrop world), which sometimes acquire new interpretations fromBrautigan. Keywords: Allusions to Japanese literature, images of Japan, Zen aesthetics, postmodernism, poems in prose.
