  • Shiba Ryôtarô

    Shiba Ryôtarô

    Shiba Ryôtarô Bettina Sachau (Hamburg) 1. Biographie Shiba Ryôtarô ist der Schriftstellername für Fukuda Sadaichi. Er legte sich dieses Pseudonym aus Bewunderung für den berühmten chinesischen Geschichtsschrei- ber Ssu-ma Ch'ien (jap. Shiba Sen)1 zu, als er – zusammen mit Chin Shunshin2 – an der Fremdsprachenschule in Ôsaka studierte. Shiba wurde am 7. August 1923 in Ôsaka als zweiter Sohn eines Pharmazeu- ten geboren. Schon seit seinem fünften Grundschuljahr interessierte er sich für frühe japanische Geschichte und archäologische Ausgrabungen, besonders als er, aus gesundheitlichen Gründen, längere Zeit bei seinem Großvater mütterlicher- seits in der Yamato-Landschaft, am Fuß des Futagami-Berges, lebte, Fundstücke sammelte und sich in das Werk Kôkogaku zadankai („Archäologische Gesprä- che“)3 vertiefte. Von seinem sechsten Grundschuljahr ab las er auch gern Literatur und schrieb, ohne Anleitung oder Vorbilder, kurze Erzählungen, nur eben, wie er rückblickend sagte, „in der Absicht, mein erster Leser zu werden“.4 Dadurch schienen allerdings seine Leistungen in der Schule gelitten zu haben, denn er be- stand die Eintrittsprüfung zur Staatlichen Mittelschule nicht und mußte eine Pri- vatschule besuchen. – Von 1941 ab lernte er an der Fremdsprachenschule in Ôsaka Mongolisch. Er „liebte den Norden“, wie er später einmal über sich sagte. – 1943 wurde er, nach Abschluß seines Studiums, zum Militär eingezogen,5 kam als Soldat nach Mukden, besuchte dort die Armee-Panzerschule, gehörte dann dem . Panzerregiment an und war in der gleichen Einheit wie Ishihama Tsuneo.6 – Das Kriegsende erlebte er in der Stadt Sano (Tochigi-Präfektur). 1946 trat er als Journalist für Universitäts- und Religions-Fragen in die Re- daktion der Zeitung Shin Nihon shimbun, Hauptbüro Kyôto, ein.

    SMALL TOWN AMERICAS: REPRESENTING THE NATION IN THE MINIATURE TOURIST ATTRACTION, 1953-2014 by SAMANTHA JOHNSTON BOARDMAN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in American Studies written under the direction of Timothy F. Raphael and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ Newark, New Jersey MAY, 2015 2015 Samantha Johnston Boardman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Small Town Americas: Representing The Nation In The Miniature Tourist Attraction, 1953-2014 By SAMANTHA J. BOARDMAN Dissertation Director: Timothy F. Raphael Nationally themed miniature tourist attractions are popular destinations in many areas of the world, however there is currently no site in the U.S. exactly analogous to such locations as Madurodam, Mini Israel, or Italia in Miniatura. What the U.S. does have, however, is a history of numerous “American”-themed attractions employing scale models and miniature landscapes that similarly purport to represent an overview of the nation. Developments in travel infrastructure and communications technology, the decentralization of national tourism objectives and strategies, the evolution of tourism and tourist attractions in the nation and changing American cultural mores can all be seen in the miniature American landscapes investigated in this project. Significantly, while research has been conducted on the Miniaturk and Taman Mini Java parks and the ways in which they are constructed by/construct a particular view of national identity in Turkey and Indonesia respectively, no such study has looked at the meaning(s) contained in and conveyed by their American counterparts.

    Travel Through Time to the Edo Period When Samurais Existed Trip

    May 10, 2017 Travel Through Time to the Edo Period When Samurais Existed Trip to World Heritage Sites and Post Towns on the “Samurai Route” Tobu Railway Co., Ltd. The area covered by Tobu Railway lines which stretch across 4 prefectures around Tokyo is where the “Samurai Route” is located. With World Heritage Nikko Toshogu Shrine where the first shogun that started the Edo Period is enshrined, Ouchi-juku where landscape of a post town of the Edo Period when samurais existed is preserved and Tsurugajo Castle where a fierce battle of the civil war that ended the Edo Period took place, the route lets you enjoy the experience of traveling back in time to the Edo Period. Here is a recommended trip into history on the “Samurai Route”. Day 1 Trip into history on the “Samurai Route” 8:00 AM Visit Senso-ji Temple The trip into history on the “Samurai Route” starts from Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa. Shops selling typical Japanese souvenirs and Japanese confectioneries are lined up in the Nakamise street leading from the Kaminarimon gate with the large lantern to the main temple. Established in the Edo Period, it is known to be one of the oldest shopping centers in Japan. As some shops open from 8:00AM, you can go shopping after visiting Nakamise the temple early in the morning. 9:00 AM Head to Nikko on the new limited express train “Revaty” Travel to Tōbu Nikkō Station from TOBU SKYTREE Line Asakusa Station which is near Senso-ji Temple. The new limited express train Revaty, which began its service on April 21 (Fri.), provides a Wi-Fi environment on the entire train and power outlets for each seat, offering a comfortable and convenient train trip.

    Notizen2105 Feature II Sanada Yukimura

    36 Feature II Sanada Yukimura – Die Entstehungsgeschichte eines japanischen Helden Till Weber Persönliche Daten Sanada Yukimura: geboren: 1567 gestorben: 3. Juni 1615 (Alter: 47 oder 48 Jahre) alternative Namen: Sanada Nobushige (eigentlicher Erwachsenenname), Ben-maru (Kindername), Saemon-no-suke (Adelstitel) Eltern: Sanada Masayuki (Daimyō von Ueda) und Kanshō-in Ehefrauen: 1. Schwester o. Tochter des Hotta Sakubei, 2. Chikurin (Aki), weitere Konkubinen wichtige Verwandte: Sanada Nobuyuki (älterer Bruder), Sanada Daisuke (Sohn; insgesamt 10 oder 11 Kinder von 4 Frauen), Ōtani Yoshitsugu und Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Schwiegerväter) Eine erste Irritation beim Studium des Lebens (und Nachlebens) von Sanada Yukimura entsteht, wenn man erfährt, dass „Yukimura“ gar nicht sein Vorname war und unser Held diesen Namen wahrscheinlich gar nicht einmal selbst kannte. Der zweite Sohn des berühmten Daimyō Sanada Masayuki hieß Nobushige mit Erwach- senennamen. Die Serie „Sanada-maru“, 2016 im japanischen Fernsehen NHK als Taiga-Drama ge- laufen, zeigt eine schöne Szene, in der Nobushige sich 1614 gerade entschlossen hat, sein Exil zu verlassen und zu den Bannern der Toyotomi zurückzukehren. Aus diesem Anlass sucht er, im Film, einen neuen Namen, was nicht allzu ungewöhnlich wäre für damalige Japaner, die für neue Lebensabschnitte oft neue Namen erhielten oder selbst wählten; allein Tokugawa Ieyasu führte mehr als ein Dutzend Namen, posthume einge- schlossen. In der Szene legt der Schauspieler Masato Sakai 幸 yuki („Glück“, wie beim Vater Masayuki) als erstes Kanji fest und schreibt eine Anzahl von gängigen Kanji- Zeichen auf. Aus diesen lost er 村 mura („Dorf“) aus: Yukimura ist geboren. Wahr- OAG Notizen 37 scheinlicher ist aber eine viel weniger anrührende Erklärung, nach der „Yukimura“ ein Kunstname aus dem Roman Sanada Sandaiki aus der mittleren Edo-Periode wäre, also über 100 Jahre später entstanden.
