During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

  • Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J
    Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei mandara Talia J. Andrei Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2016 © 2016 Talia J.Andrei All rights reserved Abstract Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J. Andrei This dissertation examines the historical and artistic circumstances behind the emergence in late medieval Japan of a short-lived genre of painting referred to as sankei mandara (pilgrimage mandalas). The paintings are large-scale topographical depictions of sacred sites and served as promotional material for temples and shrines in need of financial support to encourage pilgrimage, offering travelers worldly and spiritual benefits while inspiring them to donate liberally. Itinerant monks and nuns used the mandara in recitation performances (etoki) to lead audiences on virtual pilgrimages, decoding the pictorial clues and touting the benefits of the site shown. Addressing themselves to the newly risen commoner class following the collapse of the aristocratic order, sankei mandara depict commoners in the role of patron and pilgrim, the first instance of them being portrayed this way, alongside warriors and aristocrats as they make their way to the sites, enjoying the local delights, and worship on the sacred grounds. Together with the novel subject material, a new artistic language was created— schematic, colorful and bold. We begin by locating sankei mandara’s artistic roots and influences and then proceed to investigate the individual mandara devoted to three sacred sites: Mt. Fuji, Kiyomizudera and Ise Shrine (a sacred mountain, temple and shrine, respectively).

  • Powerful Warriors and Influential Clergy Interaction and Conflict Between the Kamakura Bakufu and Religious Institutions
    UNIVERSITY OF HAWAllllBRARI Powerful Warriors and Influential Clergy Interaction and Conflict between the Kamakura Bakufu and Religious Institutions A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY MAY 2003 By Roy Ron Dissertation Committee: H. Paul Varley, Chairperson George J. Tanabe, Jr. Edward Davis Sharon A. Minichiello Robert Huey ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a doctoral dissertation is quite an endeavor. What makes this endeavor possible is advice and support we get from teachers, friends, and family. The five members of my doctoral committee deserve many thanks for their patience and support. Special thanks go to Professor George Tanabe for stimulating discussions on Kamakura Buddhism, and at times, on human nature. But as every doctoral candidate knows, it is the doctoral advisor who is most influential. In that respect, I was truly fortunate to have Professor Paul Varley as my advisor. His sharp scholarly criticism was wonderfully balanced by his kindness and continuous support. I can only wish others have such an advisor. Professors Fred Notehelfer and Will Bodiford at UCLA, and Jeffrey Mass at Stanford, greatly influenced my development as a scholar. Professor Mass, who first introduced me to the complex world of medieval documents and Kamakura institutions, continued to encourage me until shortly before his untimely death. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to them. In Japan, I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to Professors Imai Masaharu and Hayashi Yuzuru for their time, patience, and most valuable guidance.

A brief survey of regional financial organisation studies parish religious guild Mujin・ko 3. Issues Willingham parish, Cambridge, U.K. Kami-Shiojiri, Ueda, Nagano, Japan 4 Using a new historical material: marginal notes in Kami-shiojiri village Ise calendar Discovery of marginal notes in Ise calendar Ko・mujin 5 Using a new approach: from the records of the Willingham Parish Chapel 1524 and 1525 large special tax records Jesus College Chapel Accounts Conclusion Introduction The purpose of this paper is to clarify the characteristics of regional financial organizations in Japan and England in the period when the market economy was developing, especially before the advent of the modern financial system, by comparing the different types of organization and assessing their role in building trust and social cohesion. This is part of the publication of the results of the Trust Research Incentive (Trust Association) research topic, “Study on Early Modern English Regional Credit Relationship Network: Comprehensive Utilisation of Probate Trust Probate records Database”. This theme has been chosen partly because the author has already focused on the farmers' families and households that appeared during the period when the market economy was being developed in Japan and England, and the the community’s response to the development of regional microfinance. This is because an introduction to contrast analysis is included as part of the results of this study.1 In recent years, retail finance has been attracting attention for its low-interest loans to the poor, such as those made by the “Grameen Bank” in Bangladesh.

  • Shaking up Japan: Edo Society and the 1855 Catfish Picture Prints
    SHAKING UP JAPAN: EDO SOCIETY AND THE 1855 CATFISH PICTURE PRINTS By Gregory Smits Pennsylvania State University At about 10 pm on the second day of the tenth month of 1855 (November 11 in the solar calendar), an earthquake with a magnitude estimated between 6.9 and 7.1 shook Edo, now known as Tokyo. The earthquake’s shallow focus and its epicenter near the heart of Edo caused more destruction than the magnitude might initially suggest. Estimates of deaths in and around Edo ranged from 7,000 to 10,000. Property damage from the shaking and fires was severe in places, de- stroying at least 14,000 structures. As many as 80 aftershocks per day continued to shake the city until nine days after the initial earthquake. Despite a relatively low 1 in 170 fatality rate, the extensive injuries and property damage, lingering danger of fires, a long and vigorous period of aftershocks, and the locus of the destruction in Japan’s de facto capital city exacerbated the earthquake’s psycho- logical impact.1 Two days after the initial earthquake, hastily printed, anonymous broadsheets and images began to appear for sale around the city. After several weeks had passed, over 400 varieties of earthquake-related prints were on the market, the majority of which featured images of giant catfish, often with anthropomorphic features.2 These metaphoric catfish did not necessarily correspond to an actual species of fish, and I refer to them here by their Japanese name, namazu. The gen- eral name of catfish prints, which included visual elements and text, is namazu-e, with “e” meaning picture.

Nor was it the most destructive earthquake to affect the city of Edo: in terms of magnitude, the Genroku earthquake of 31 December 1703 was perhaps thirty times as powerful.2 The Ansei earthquake, however, laid waste or damaged severely large portions of Edo, the commercial, cultural, and printing capital of its day no less than the shogunal capi- tal, and achieved a notoriety far greater than the more destructive, but provincial, Shinano earthquake of 1847 or Tókaid6 earthquakes of 1854.

INCREASE OF THE POPULATION') In Japan, even in ancient times, there was an institu· tion for registering the names of members of families (Kosekt). In the Taiho·Ryo (i. e. the code amended during the year of Taiho-702 A.D.) that institution was placed under more exact regulations. Nevertheless, we cannot learn precisely the exact number of people at that time. In modern times, viz., the Tokugawa age, the number of people before the Kyoho period likewise remains unascertained. The order to reckon up the population was given by Yoshimune, the 8th Shogun of the Tokugawa dynasty. The two edicts, which were issued in the 6th year (1721) and in the 2nd month of the 11th year of Kyoho (1726), are of the utmost importance with reference to the problem. In the earlier decree, there was no order to examine the population and to report the number obtained from this examination. The number reported was only the registered number, which was already known to the officers at that time. But in the later decree, an examination and an actual counting of the people were evidently ordered.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date AoriLny?. ,MC DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This thesis surveys Sino-Japanese relations in the early Tokugawa period with a specific focus on transactions in the major commodity--copper--between the two countries. The main purpose of the research is to investigate the bilateral contact in the early Tokugawa, the evolution of the copper trade, the political events involved with the trade, and to reexamine the significance of sakoku (seclusion) policy of Japan from a Chinese perspective. This thesis first explores the efforts of the shogunate from 1600 to 1625 towards reopening the kango or tally trade with China which had been suspended in the previous Muromachi period.

  • A Galaxyof Old Japanese Medical Books
    A Galaxy of Old Japanese Medical Books With Miscellaneous Notes on Early Medicine in Japan Part V. Biblio-historical Addenda. Corrections. Postscript. Acknowledgments BY GORDON E. MESTLER Department of Anatomy, State University of New York Downstate Medical Center Brooklyn, New York ADDENDA I T is especially important in this study to call attention to Japanese writings on the historical aspects of the development in Japan of medicine in general and also of particular or specific medical disciplines. Of significance, too, are references to important works written in the form of essays, biographies, auto- biographies and bibliographies. It was stated in Part I of this study that the earliest known history of medi- cine in Japan was written by Doyui or Michisuke KUROKAWA as the Honcho iko, a work which appeared in three volumes in the 3rd year of Kan- bun (= 1663), "on thoughts about Japanese medicine." It is interesting to know that KUROKAWA's HonchJ iko was "revised with corrections of mis- takes" by Chikanobu KAZIMA when he wrote his medical history of Japan entitled Kocho ishi, which appeared in three volumes during the Koka period (1844-1847). In the discussion of medico-historical writings in Part I of this study it was suggested that there was a hiatus in such writings from the time of Doyud KUROKAWA to the Meiji restoration, a period of nearly 200 years .... Fur- ther investigation, however, has uncovered at least seven works of a truly historical nature, excepting those of an essay or autobiographical type. These works will now be referred to and described so far as possible.
