In this month’s Feature Story we introduce some of the remarkable range and defining characteristics of Japanese cuisine, from the training of top chefs to the forging of quality kitchen knives; from the juicy Fuji apples of Aomori Prefecture to the refined green teas of Uji; and from the sophisticated banquets of the Edo period to the down-to-earth izakaya inns of today. Enjoy the feast! november 2016 Photo: Yoshifusa Hashizume | 5 Feature THE WORLD OF JAPANESE CUISINE he number of Japanese restaurants overseas An Introduction to has been increasing in recent years, and rising Tnumbers of foreign tourists have been com- ing to Japan to enjoy Japanese cuisine. We asked Japanese Cuisine Yoshiki Tsuji, president of Tsujicho Group, which has trained chefs in a wide variety of cuisines, about the special features of Japanese culinary culture and the internationalization of Japanese cuisine. Can you tell us how Japanese culinary culture was formed? The natural environment has influenced Japanese culinary culture in various ways. Throughout Japan, for example, localities have a variety of their own dishes and processed foods using fish and shellfish. This diversity has arisen thanks to the many rich fishing grounds off the Japanese coast. The waters of the Pacific off the coast of Tohoku are a typical example. This area of the sea marks the confluence of the Oyashio Current, which flows from north to south, and the Kuroshio Current, which flows from south to north. It has no equal anywhere in the world for the species and volumes of fish available. Japan’s culinary culture has been influenced by other countries as well. Rice cultivation, an impor- tant component of Japanese cuisine, was imported from the Chinese mainland and spread throughout nearly the whole of Japan starting from the Yayoi period, which lasted from around the third century BCE to about the third century CE. Owing to the influence of Buddhism, which was imported from China beginning in the sixth century, consumption of animal meat was banned or limited, so the foun- dation of Japanese culinary culture became cen- tered on rice, vegetables and marine products. During the Edo period (1603–1867), when exchanges with foreign countries were virtually cut off, Japanese dietary culture developed in unique ways. For example, kaiseki ryori developed under the influence of shojin ryori and sado (tea ceremony) became increasingly popular among the wealthy classes, including the Kyoto kuge nobility and rich Yoshiki Tsuji, president of Tsujicho Group Photo: Yuichi Itabashi 6 | highlighting japan Osaka merchants.

It is one of eight oban-sized woodblock prints in the series “A Journey to the Waterfalls in All the Provinces” (Shokoku Taki Meguri) and was originally published by the Edo publisher, Eijudo, in around 1832. This print is titled “Roben Waterfall at Oyama in Sagami Province” (Soshu Oyama Roben no taki) and features pilgrims taking a ritual bath at the Roben Waterfall on Oyama Mountain (Kanagawa Prefecture), before visiting a nearby shrine. In this series, Hokusai tackled the technical problem of how to represent falling water, treating it in a different way in each of the eight prints. welcome to acss/acsee 2015 Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the Sixth Annual Asian Conference on the Social Sciences, and the Fifth Annual Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy and the Environment, which for the first time is in the wonderful city of Kobe. This IAFOR event is an interdisciplinary international conference that invites academics, practitioners, scholars and researchers from around the world to meet and exchange ideas. What I have particularly appreciated at the previous conferences is the shared development of intellectual ideas and the challenges to dominant paradigms that occurred through the academic exchanges of the conferences. I have every confidence that this year’s event will extend and develop the debates still further.

    ace2013 acset2013 welcome to Letter of Welcome from Professor Sue Jackson on behalf of the ACE2013 Conference Chairs Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the Fifth Asian Conference on Education, which I am delighted to co-Chair with Professor Michiko Na- kano and Professor Barbara Lockee. I had the pleasure of being at the inaugural conference of ACE in 2009 and at most of its subsequent conferences, as well as at the Inaugural European Conference on Education this summer. I am very much looking forward to being in Osaka this October and to meeting as many of the 500 conference dele- gates as possible. The aim of the Asian Conferences on Education is to encourage academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum that encourages respectful dialogue. What I particularly appreciate at these confer- ences is the shared development of intellectual ideas and the challenges to dominant paradigms that occur through the academic exchanges of the conferences. I have every confidence that this year’s conference will extend and develop this work still further and I know that the keynote and featured speakers will bring much to these debates and discussions. The conference theme of Learning and Teaching in Changing Times is a challenging one across educational contexts and is no doubt in part the reason that this conference has attracted so many delegates from across the globe. As education sys- tems becoming increasingly socially, ethnically and culturally diverse, both as a consequence of globalization and in response to internationalization, the challenges of engaging with and working through change become ever more important.
