Although things have changed over the past decade or so, Japan that it is difficult to do is still very much an “old world wine” market, with France and Italy owning well over half of the total wine market. However, with per capita wine consumption under 2 liters, there is still lots of room for growth for business in Japan ... I am everyone. not saying that it’s not, What has been the most surprising thing that you have learned working but I have learned over in Japan? It is commonly thought that it is difficult to do business in Japan and that there are barriers to entry and bureaucratic red tape especially for the years that there are foreigner businessmen. I am not saying that it is not difficult, but I have learned over the years that there are loads of opportunities out there — loads of opportunities out you just need to know where to look and how to go after them. there — you just need to The holidays are coming up — is the Christmas season particularly busy for your company? know where to look and December is absolutely the busiest time of the year for wine.

FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2013 ABSTRACT FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Kimberly M. Blaeser My dissertation is a creative translation from Japanese into English of the poetry of Yosa Buson, an 18th century (1716 – 1783) poet. Buson is considered to be one of the most important of the Edo Era poets and is still influential in modern Japanese literature. By taking account of Japanese culture, identity and aesthetics the dissertation project bridges the gap between American and Japanese poetics, while at the same time revealing the complexity of thought in Buson's poetry and bringing the target audience closer to the text of a powerful and mov- ing writer.

  • MONUMENT of HISTORY in JAPAN OR COGNITIVE SYNERGY of PLACES, LANDSCAPES, ARTS and CRAFTS, TRADITIONS and CUSTOMS a Trip to the Innermost Essence of Japan1
    Protection of cultural heritage 7 (2019) 10.35784/odk.65 MONUMENT OF HISTORY IN JAPAN OR COGNITIVE SYNERGY OF PLACES, LANDSCAPES, ARTS AND CRAFTS, TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS A trip to the innermost essence of Japan1 AFFELT Waldemar J. 1 1 Waldemar J. Affelt, Gdańsk University of Technology, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3274-5210 ABSTRACT: The Japanese Cultural Agency is implementing the JAPAN HERITAGE project, which will result in a hundred thematic narratives on historical monuments. The applicant and beneficiary is a rural or urban municipality, but the nomination procedure also includes the Prefecture Office. It is stressed that this initiative does not compete with the UNESCO World Heritage List, nor does it introduce a new category of monument, so that there is no need to amend the Act of 30 May 1950 on the Protection of Cultural Property. Strategically, the project aims at social revitalisation by strengthening the sense of identity and intensifying domestic and foreign tourism. Every JAPAN HERITAGE narrative is a branded tourist product, and the tangible and intangible cultural property under legal protection illustrated by it are located in one municipality in the local category, or in many municipalities in a given prefecture, or even in several prefectures - in the collective category. The essence of the project is discussed using the example of narrative 019 'Date Culture initiated by Masamune'. KEY WORDS: Japan Heritage, tangible and intangible cultural property, Masamune Date Introduction The issue of the protection of historical monuments in Japan is regulated by Act No. 214 of 30 May 1950, last amended on 30 March 20072.
