During the Edo period, it was the center of Isesaki Domain, a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate controlled by the Sakai clan. The area also contained two post towns on the Nikkō Reiheishi Kaidō, a subroute to Nikkō Kaidō which connected the Nakasendō directly with Nikkō, bypassing Edo.[3][4] Modern Isesaki Town was created within Sai District, Gunma Prefecture on April 1, 1889 with the creation of the municipalities system after the Meiji Restoration. Sai District and Nawa District merged to form Sawa District in 1896. It merged with the villages of Uehasu and Moro to form the city of Isesaki on September 13, 1940. On January 10, 1955 the village of Misato was annexed by Isesaki, followed by the villages of Nawa, Toyouke and Miyagō on March 25 of the same year. On January 1 2005 the towns of Akabori and Sakai, and village of Azuma were incorporated into Isesaki. On April 1, 2007 , Isesaki was proclaimed a special city (tokureishi) with increased autonomy. Economy Isesaki is traditionally famous for silk fabrics (along with neighboring Kiryu). This craft is known as Isesaki Meisen. It has been made since the late 17 th century, and became popular during the Meiji and Taishō periods. Now, however, due to the ubiquity of Western-style clothes, its popularity is decreasing. The automotive equipment and electrical equipment manufacturing company Sanden Corporation is headquartered in Isesaki.[5] Also the city is home to Meisei Electric, a communications and electronics equipment and electric measuring instruments manufacturing company.[6] It is also the location of J-List, a retailer of anime goods, visual novels and related products from Japan. Education Universities Jobu University Tokyo University of Social Welfare – Isesaki Campus Primary and secondary schools Isesaki has a Peruvian international school (ペルー学校), Colegio Hispano Americano de Gunma.[7][8] The city formerly housed the Escola Paralelo, a Brazilian international school.[9] Transportation Railway JR East – Ryōmō Line Isesaki - Kunisada Tobu Railway – Tobu Isesaki Line Sakaimachi - Gōshi - Shin-Isesaki - Isesaki Highway Kita-Kantō Expressway – Isesaki IC, Hashie PA Japan National Route 17 Japan National Route 50 Japan National Route 354 Japan National Route 462 Local attractions former home of Tajima Yohei grave of Kunisada Chūji Isesaki Jinja Goshiki Onsen Sister-city relations - Teradomari, Niigata, Japan, friendship city since 1986 - Springfield, Missouri, United States, since 1986[10] - Ma'anshan, People's Republic of China, friendship city since 1989.

  • A Prospect of Disaster Education and Community Development in Thailand
    A Prospect of Disaster Education and Community Development in Thailand: Learning from Japan Nakhara: Journal of Environmental Design and Planning Volume 19, 2020 A Prospect of Disaster Education and Community Development in Thailand: Learning from Japan Waricha Wongphyat a* / Mari Tanaka b a Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand [email protected] b Faculty of Education, Gunma Prefecture, Japan [email protected] * Corresponding author Received 2020-03-03; Revised 2020-09-30; Accepted 2020-11-10 ABSTRACT This paper aims to examine a prospect of disaster education and community development in Thailand focusing on a traditional waterfront community, named Hua Takhe. It explores the program and participation as well as meaning and implication of the Japanese cases through observations. Based on the analysis of questionnaire surveys, the strengths of the Hua Takhe community include solidarity, human, cultural, and educational resources. Its weaknesses are a limitation of disaster prevention-related resources, insufficient interaction between the old and the young generations, a lack of systematic disaster management, and low participation in drills. Collaboration with educational institutions, integrative and inclusive learning, and a better quality of life can be its opportunities; however, changing the usage of dwellings and an unbalanced development can be its threats. While the proposed workshop for children focuses on identifying the disaster prevention-related components and storytelling of Japanese and Thai wisdom, the workshop for multigenerational residents emphasizes identifying risks, discussing about the CBDRM, and participating in the community’s festival. Concentrating on community engagement comprises of sharing the survey results, group discussion, hands on experience in investigating the living environment and making a hazard map.

  • An Analytical Model on Time Series Data in Inland Prefecture of Japan
    Proceedings of the International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Bandung, Indonesia, March 6-8, 2018 An Analytical Model on Time Series Data in Inland Prefecture of Japan Shoichi Kaneko Faculty of Management Information Yamanashi Gakuin University Kofu, Yamanashi, JAPAN [email protected] Takaaki Kawanaka Institute for Innovation in International Engineering Education The University of Tokyo Tokyo, JAPAN [email protected] Nyunho Jung Faculty of Business Aichi Shukutoku University Nagoya, JAPAN [email protected] Hiroshi Yamashita Department of Commerce Meiji University Tokyo, JAPAN [email protected] Masanobu Matsumaru Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department Kanagawa University Kanagawa, JAPAN [email protected] Abstract In Japan, administrative divisions are classified in 47 prefectures. Among them, there are 8 prefectures with “inland prefecture” that isn’t facing the sea. These inland prefectures are considered to have different properties from “coastal prefecture” that is facing the sea. Therefore, in this study, we quantitatively analyze the influence of the following factors on value of manufactured goods shipments of “inland prefecture” and “coastal prefecture”, based on our previous studies. These factors are population, area, value of forestry goods shipments, value of fishery goods shipments, presence of ordinance designated city, before and after the collapse of the bubble, before and after the Lehman shock, and so on. This analysis model is characterized by handling time series quantitative data and qualitative data. In this study, we validate the model by conducting empirical analysis model using time series data. Furthermore, we will try to quantitatively grasp the common points and differences of the industrial structure between inland prefecture and coastal prefecture based on estimates of parameters obtained from such empirical analysis.
