Chapter1 “Trade Trends” is intended to draw a general picture of all ceramics traded in Japan during the last six years (2010 – 2015), by analyzing the imports and local production of each group of products (Tableware; Wall & Floor Tiles; Sanitary-ware; Fine Ceramics; Refractory goods). Chapter2 “Tableware” is treated from the Consumer Goods perspective as many aspects can be extrapolated, especially to other interior design products; Chapter2.1. “Market Overview & Trends” can deepen the understanding of the Japanese consumers` buying behavior and their expectations regarding the products. Chapter3 “Construction and Housing” is presenting the new trend in Japanese consumers` behavior: their tendency to choose re-housing instead of the traditional “new house for a new family”, trend that is also influencing the choice of construction materials. Chapter4 “Bio-ceramics” is dedicated to a small part of the technical ceramic market, a promising sector with new technical developments, studying in detail the Dental Implants Market (Chapter4.1) and the Joint Replacement Implants Market (Chapter4.2). The market demand for these products is on an ascending trend in Japan since the aging society factor. All three chapters (2, 3 and 4) also include other trade related aspects like: Regulations, Labeling, Distribution, Retail and Promotion in order to provide a complete understanding on the subjects. The Key Players chapters are intended to add value by the power of example; helping the producers to decide which products are best suited for the Japanese market in terms of what novelty they can bring in. The final part presents a number of recommendations focusing on business practicalities, such as choosing a suitable location in a Japanese city, adapting the products to the market and finding Japanese partners. .This Report is based on existing open sources of information, interviews, seminars and it has a non-exhaustive character, its main ambition to support European companies interested in Japanese market. 5 List of Abbreviations B2B = Business to Business B2C = Business to Consumer BL = Better Living Labeling System BU = Business Unit Ce/PE = Ceramic-on- Plastic Ce/Ce = Ceramic-on-Ceramic D-MAH = Designated Marketing Authorization Holder FAP = Foreign Average Price FY = Fiscal Year GMP = Good Manufacturing Practices GOJ = Government of Japan GQP = Good Quality Practices GRP = Glass Reinforced Plastic GVP = Good Vigilance Practices HORECA = Hotel/Restaurant/Café IPSS = the National Institute of Population and Social Security JFCC = Japan Fine Ceramic Center JIS = Japanese Industrial Standards JNTO = Japan National Tourism Organization MAH = Marketing Authorization Holder Me/PE = Metal-on-plastic MHLW = Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare MLIT = Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in Japan Me/Me = Metal on Metal OEM = Original equipment manufacturer (a company that makes another company's branded products) PAL = Pharmaceutical Affairs Law PHM = Prefabricated Housing Manufacturers PMDA = Pharmaceuticals and Medical Act PMDL = Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Law THA = Total Hip Arthroplasty TKA = Total Knee Arthroplasty UHMWPE = Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene 6 List of Figures Figure1.

    PEACE IN VIETNAM! BEHEIREN: TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVISM AND GI MOVEMENT IN POSTWAR JAPAN 1965-1974 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE AUGUST 2018 By Noriko Shiratori Dissertation Committee: Ehito Kimura, Chairperson James Dator Manfred Steger Maya Soetoro-Ng Patricia Steinhoff Keywords: Beheiren, transnational activism, anti-Vietnam War movement, deserter, GI movement, postwar Japan DEDICATION To my late father, Yasuo Shiratori Born and raised in Nihonbashi, the heart of Tokyo, I have unforgettable scenes that are deeply branded in my heart. In every alley of Ueno station, one of the main train stations in Tokyo, there were always groups of former war prisoners held in Siberia, still wearing their tattered uniforms and playing accordion, chanting, and panhandling. Many of them had lost their limbs and eyes and made a horrifying, yet curious, spectacle. As a little child, I could not help but ask my father “Who are they?” That was the beginning of a long dialogue about war between the two of us. That image has remained deep in my heart up to this day with the sorrowful sound of accordions. My father had just started work at an electrical laboratory at the University of Tokyo when he found he had been drafted into the imperial military and would be sent to China to work on electrical communications. He was 21 years old. His most trusted professor held a secret meeting in the basement of the university with the newest crop of drafted young men and told them, “Japan is engaging in an impossible war that we will never win.

  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.

Of Mice and Maidens: Ideologies of Interspecies Romance in Late Medieval and Early Modern Japan Abstract Interspecies marriage (irui kon'in) has long been a central theme in Japanese literature and folklore. Frequently dismissed as fairytales, stories of interspecies marriage illuminate contemporaneous conceptions of the animal-human boundary and the anxieties surrounding it. This dissertation contributes to the emerging field of animal studies yb examining otogizoshi (Muromachi/early Edo illustrated narrative fiction) concerning elationshipsr between human women and male mice. The earliest of these is Nezumi no soshi ("The Tale of the Mouse"), a fifteenth century ko-e ("small scroll") attributed to court painter Tosa Mitsunobu. Nezumi no soshi was followed roughly a century later by a group of tales collectively named after their protagonist, the mouse Gon no Kami. Unlike Nezumi no soshi, which focuses on the grief of the woman who has unwittingly married a mouse, the Gon no Kami tales contain pronounced comic elements and devote attention to the mouse-groom's perspective.

  • Train Schedule to Matsumoto from Narita Airport
    Train Schedule to Matsumoto from Narita Airport There are two ways to reach Matsumoto from Narita Airport. One is a route by the Narita Express Line and Chuohsen East Line via Shinjuku station(First Choice). The other is a route via Tokyo station and Nagano station by Narita-Soubu Line from Airport to Tokyo, Nagano Shinkansen Line from Tokyo to Nagano and Shinonoi Line from Nagano to Matsumoto(Second Choice). In general, the first choice is recommendable, because one with big baggage has to transfer just once at Shinjuku station and a little less expensive than the Second Choice with twice of changing at Tokyo and Nagno. The Second Choice is useful when some trouble, like system breakdown, accident or bad weather, occurs to the First Choice and vice versa. First Choice to Matsumoto from Narita Airport 1) Narita-Soubu Line “Narita Express(NEX)” [ Narita Airport to Shinjuku ] Please go to the station at the basement of a Narita Airport Building and buy a ticket to Matsumoto JR station via Shinjuku at a reservation window of the station.
