Dear Steve,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Interesting project...I’ve looked a little bit into <i class="">jinzō ningen</i>,
<i class="">robotto</i>, the intermedial constellation around Čapek’s play in Japan and the reception of
<i class="">Metropolis </i><span style="font-size: 17px;" class=""><i class="">– </i>
</span><i class=""> </i>in connection with a project on the fetishization of female robots and display mannequins in Japan at the time (currently under peer review…). </div>
<div class=""><i class=""><br class="">
</i></div>
<div class=""><i class="">Jinzō ningen </i>was indeed Iga Itsuo’s translation of the title and
<i class="">robotto</i> was Suzuki Zentarō’s. Apart from the staging of the play in the Tsukiji Little Theatre (directed by Osanai Kaoru and Hijikata Yoshi, with set design by Murayama Tomoyoshi, (future) film star Natsukawa Shizue in the role of the robot
Helena), there were also variety shows, burlesques (the fetishization of female robots is nothing new…:), at least one novellization set in Japan and a rumoured Nikkatsu film (mentioned by the
<i class="">Yomiuri </i>newspaper and by the <i class="">Kinema junpō </i>film journal). <a href="http://rzeka.blog88.fc2.com/blog-entry-115.html" class="">This blog</a> speculates that a film titled
<i class="">Ningen </i><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">(not extant)</span><i class="">,
</i>listed in the Japanese Movie Database <a href="http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/1925/ba004260.htm" class="">here</a>, might have been it – because the script is credited to Suzuki Zentarō. It seems like an interpretation of the play set in Japan (judging by the characters’
names). </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">‘Visions of<i class=""> jinzō ningen</i>’ was also the title of special section in the journal
<i class="">Shinchō </i><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">published in 1929, with great contributions by writers and artists, which I think was a response to
</span><i class="">Metropolis </i>and also to another key Weimar film, Henrik Galeen’s
<i class="">Alraune, </i><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">both released in Japan in 1929</span>…Like Hiraybayashi, they use <i class="">jinzō ningen </i><span style="font-style: normal;" class=""> in the broad sense of an artificially created human
(not limited to robot). </span></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Hirabayashi is a fascinating figure.A <i class=""><a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/hirabayashi-hatsunosuke-reader-9781350378162/" class="">Hirabayashi Hatsunosuke Reader</a> </i><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">with his fiction
and criticism is forthcoming from Bloomsbury</span>…</div>

<div class="">Best of luck with your project...</div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">I should have put that the film was planned in the mid-1920s. (oops. Careless of me!) and, yes, it's interesting that that title Jinz?Ningen was used quite a bit back then. As I understand it, even one of the 1st translations of ?apek's
R.U.R. went by that name...<br class="">

<div dir="ltr" class="">I?m not sure about a film titled Jinz? ningen, but I thought I might mention that the first ?robot story? in fiction with that name was written by HIRABAYASHI Hatsunosuke and published in 1928 in the magazine Shin seinen, which is known
for a lot of translations of genre fiction, including SciFi and ero-guro-nonsense. I actually translated the story into English a few years ago. I didn?t write a critical introduction, but Hirabayashi is a major film critic/writer/women?s rights advocate you
can read about (and whom I think some other members of this list might be in the process of translating?). It is worth noting that the ?artificial human? in question in the story turns out to be a chemical solution, not what we would call a robot with obvious
links to Rossum-style robots; the story is a rip-roaring melodrama not really recognizable from the plot of RUR. It truly is, literally, an artificial human.

a translation of Capek in Taisho 12, or 1923. So, the info was out there?and linked to Capek. Though the translation was from English, and kind of wild. I can send you a kind of potted history of the ?Ginzo ningen? term I wrote in an essay called "Future-Oriented
Blackness in Sho?wa Robot Culture?1924 to 1963,? if you like. In 1925, I am not sure if it?s possible to say anything definitive about RUR?s relation to that film, due to the wildness of translation and the expansive understanding of what it is to be ?artificial,?
at least by Hirabayashi> it might be a literal transposition, or something else entirely. I would be really interested in any further puzzle pieces you turn up, regarding the status of all the words--?artificial,? ?human? and ?artificial human?...<br class="">
