Popis: Tanaka was a great admirer of Chinese literature, especially Chinese ghost stories such as Liaozhai Zhiyi (聊斎志異), and he was to translate 35 of them, published as "The 12th Volume of Chinese Literature" . This paper analyzes the characteristics of 10 stories from that, comparing the original work with Koda Rentaro's annotation and the translation by Shibata Temma. Tanaka referred to Koda's annotation when translating the unique words and sources in Chinese. He generally adds interpretation instead of annotation. And Tanaka used lots of onomatopoeia to make the description more vivid. There are lots of temporal adverb with similar meaning in Liaozhai Zhiyi, Tanaka basically translated them into one word.
