This study analysed the word "sleeve" in the waka poem of "The Tale of Genji", using natural language processing and text analysis methods, mainly studied the frequency and distribution of "sleeve" and the role of "sleeves" under different classifications. Results show that "sleeve" is one of the most frequently occurring nouns in "The Tale of Genji", and the frequency of occurrence is second only to "heart", "people", "flower", and "world", ranking No. 5 among all nouns. Furthermore, in different contexts, the usage of "sleeve" is also different. It can be mainly divided into two categories. The first category is that "sleeve" appears alone and has no strong correlation with other words. The other category is that "sleeve" is strongly related to other words and express different meanings and contexts together with different words. This study further enriched the study of Japanese poetic imagery, and helped us research on Japanese poetry to better understand the Japanese spiritual world.

We propose a method for visualizing literary works that quantitatively extracts the mutual relationships among play characters from the narrative of a storyline. The method first determines the cross-correlation of the appearance frequencies in the time domain between two play characters, which is calculated for all pairs of characters in each narrative. We also calculate the correlation among three play characters to find unique triangular relationships. Then we create a graphical representation of the relationships using node-link representations based on a physical potential model. The method is suitable for dramas, as demonstrated for ten famous Shakespeare plays. The resulting visualizations show good agreement with the conventional understanding of each play and also provide new insight into Shakespearean criticism.
