Information on supply organization and procedures was compiled from interrogation of the cx-officors of the various bureaus, departments, and units concerned. Official records of the .army and Navy were destroyed in August 1945 on the direction of Imperial Headquarters. Consequently data on the actual distribution of supplies during the uar were similarly gained from interrogation of the cx­ officcrs v:ho had been directly associated uith the execution of these responsibilities, private records, though in most cases fragmentary, in the hands of these individuals, or estimates compiled by them, proferrcd in substantiation or expatiation of declared supply policies and procedures, were, in lieu of official documents, accepted upon satisfactory establishment of their credibility, and, where considered significant, incorporated in this volume. Intelligence gathered by investigators who prepared other volumes of this report was resorted to as a correlation-bases in the process of counter-checking infor­ mation submitted, and forestalling deliberate falsification or attempts at misleading reservation. Zv~ry possible check having been made to insure their accuracy, the information delineated and con­ clusions derived therefrom, it is believed, .are essentially correct. No separate chemical warfare service existed -with the Japanese i^rmed Forces. In the Army responsibility for storage and distribution of general chemical warfare supplies uas divided among four services-­ ordnance, intendance, medical, and veterinary—each of which maintained its own depots. Air depots stored principal stocks of chemic:..l bombs. Navy supplies v;.rc stored in the naval store departments and aeronaut­ ical depots of the naval stations* Japanese inventories of significant stocks of chomical warfare materiel in these installations were, in most cases, verified by Unit Chemical Officers or C b Technical Intell­ igence Teams, and are tabulated in this volumej the Ir.clz of definite confirmation, in the case of a few installations, is attributed to the difficulties experienced by investigating personnel in positive ident­ ification of some items, end to the fact that the arrival of qualified C'7S personnel at some of the less accessible targets found destruction of materiel already executed without accurate identification. The wide dispersal of stocks throughout scattered warehouses, public build­ ings, caves, tunnels, and open areas was cited by many investigators as having made specific designation of the targets themselves,- in so:JO instances, an uncertain process. In this connection, even the Japanese depot personnel were often vague, maintaining that comparatively little -IV­ attention hid be^ii paid to chemical v/arfaro supplies during the latter part of the ;,ar, and that lacking the records \;hich had been destroyed, they v:orc forced to locate stocks haphazardly.. Lack of definitely prescribed methods of storage in all but i few installations v;as emphasized in reports of target investi­ gation; this v;as largely due to the apparently frantic decentral­ ization of stocks that took place with the intensification of air raids during the v/ar. Although significant stocks of Air Force chemical warfare supplies arc tabulated in this volume, the investigation of Air Force depots and supply procedures is detailed in separate reports by Chemical Section ATIG-, Adv.. Ech., F-JAF on file in Air Documents Division, T-2, "Tright Field, Dayton, Ohio.

Taking account of the latest elasmo- branch data and preliminary strontium isotope ratio, the age of the formation is confined to the late Late Eocene. The present and recent results show that the First Seto Inland Sea was actually composed of two sea areas that existed at different times: the Paleogene sea area is estimated to have been an open sea facing south to the Pacific Ocean, whereas that in the Miocene is thought to have been an em- bayment connected to the northwest to the Sea of Japan.

    Pictures of Social Networks: Transforming Visual Representations of the Orchid Pavilion Gathering in the Tokugawa Period (1615-1868) by Kazuko Kameda-Madar B.A., The University of Hawai„i at Mānoa, 1997 M.A., The University of Hawai„i at Mānoa, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Art History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) May 2011 © Kazuko Kameda-Madar, 2011 Abstract This thesis examines the cultural networks that connected people holding common ideological values in the Tokugawa period by surveying a range of visual representations of the Orchid Pavilion Gathering. It explores the Tokugawa social phenomena that gave rise to the sudden boom in the Orchid Pavilion motif and how painters of different classes, belonging to different schools, such as Kano Sansetsu, Ike Taiga, Tsukioka Settei and Kubo Shunman, came to develop variations of this theme in order to establish cultural identity and to negotiate stronger positions in the relationships of social power. Probing the social environment of artists and their patrons, I demonstrate how distinct types of Orchid Pavilion imagery were invented and reinvented to advance different political agendas. The legendary gathering at the Orchid Pavilion in China took place in 353 CE, when Wang Xizhi invited forty-one scholars to participate in an annual Spring Purification Festival. At this event, Wang Xizhi improvised a short text that has come to be known as the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Gathering. In Japan, while the practice of the ritual gathering and the text describing it were introduced in the Nara period, its pictorial representation in the format of a stone rubbing was not imported until the early seventeenth century.

  • Bungei Shunjū in the Early Years and the Emergence
    THE EARLY YEARS OF BUNGEI SHUNJŪ AND THE EMERGENCE OF A MIDDLEBROW LITERATURE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Minggang Li, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Richard Torrance, Adviser Professor William J. Tyler _____________________________ Adviser Professor Kirk Denton East Asian Languages and Literatures Graduate Program ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the complex relationship that existed between mass media and literature in pre-war Japan, a topic that is largely neglected by students of both literary and journalist studies. The object of this examination is Bungei shunjū (Literary Times), a literary magazine that played an important role in the formation of various cultural aspects of middle-class bourgeois life of pre-war Japan. This study treats the magazine as an organic unification of editorial strategies, creative and critical writings, readers’ contribution, and commercial management, and examines the process by which it interacted with literary schools, mainstream and marginal ideologies, its existing and potential readership, and the social environment at large. In so doing, this study reveals how the magazine collaborated with the construction of the myth of the “ideal middle-class reader” in the discourses on literature, modernity, and nation in Japan before and during the war. This study reads closely, as primary sources, the texts that were published in the issues of Bungei shunjū in the 1920s and 1930s. It then contrasts these texts with ii other texts published by the magazine’s peers and rivals.

In this study, we ex- amined the characteristics of agricultural production in Okayama prefecture from the viewpoint of grain, beans and po- tatoes excluding rice, wheat and barley in the long term. These are undoubtedly supposed to have a certain role in comple- menting the function as the staple food of rice and wheat, etc. Also, according to our literature investigations, researchers have not focused on this context for Okayama Prefecture by not spending enough attention in the past. Therefore, we fo- cus on these subjects in this paper by examining a historical significance. It is observed that some planting area and yield of crops have drastically reduced in Okayama prefecture.
