Summary
‘It is, it is not, what is that?’ (‘arimas, arimasen, are wa nan deska’): the very first printed version of Hamlet’s fourth soliloquy in Japan is in incomprehensible pidgin Japanese. It appears in the British satirical magazine The Japan Punch in 1874, alongside a cartoon by Charles Wirgman featuring a man in samurai garb standing on a stage, deep in thought (Figure 6).
