Preface 1.1 Background of the Project The Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO in October 2003, entered into force on 20 April 2006. Japan has become the 3rd country in Asia and the Pacific to ratify the Convention. To most of the countries in the region, however, the Convention still remains distant, without wide dissemination of the concept of ICH or the implementation of programmes regarding ICH through a regional network in Asia and the Pacific. In Japan, on the other hand, various parties such as GOs, NGOs, museums, private enterprises and universities have been working on human resource training for more than 50 years. The Japanese government’s launch of programmes to promote international cooperation in safeguarding ICH encourages Japan to take leadership in the field. Under these circumstances, ACCU (The Asia/Pacific Cultural Centre for UNESCO) launched the “International Partnership Programme for Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage” with the Agency for Cultural Affairs (Bunkacho) in 2007-2009, including a Training Course for Safeguarding ICH. Then, since the ACCU concluded its activities on ICH in 2009 and the agreement on establishment of “the Institutes and Centres under the Auspices of UNESCO (UNESCO Category 2 Center)” under the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage was signed between Japanese Government and UNESCO in August 2010, the National Institute organize the International Partnership Programme this year. This year the programme focuses on “the Japanese systems for safeguarding of ICH ” which will deepen the understanding of the national and local cases in Japan, on the basis of interest of the many participants in the past programme. 1.2 Introduction of the 2011 course 1.2.1 Organizers Organised by National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, and Agency for Cultural Affairs (Bunkacho) Co-organised by National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo In Cooperation with National Museum of Ethnology, Supported by Japanese National Commission for UNESCO 1.2.2 Theme and Objectives The Training Course for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage 2011 will be conducted as human resource training.

Introduction 2. The scope of intangible cultural properties Three types of inventory and the contents 3. The history of the protection of Japan's cultural properties 4. Systems for protecting cultural properties 5. Steps taken for protection 1. Introduction In Japan, drama, music and crafts, manners and customs, and folk performing arts have been protected as intangible cultural properties (i.e. intangible cultural heritage: hereinafter referred to as “intangible cultural properties”) since the establishment of the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties in 1950. In 1975, a system for designation of intangible folk cultural properties was introduced, and the techniques necessary to preserve cultural properties were selected as cultural property preservation technology. Additionally in 2005, folk techniques were newly added as one area of folk cultural properties and have similarly been designated, identified, and selected with other intangible cultural properties. We’ll briefly take a look at the system of protection here. 2. The scope of intangible cultural properties Cultural Property is defined in Article 2 of the Law for the Protection of Cultural Property. While Intangible Cultural Property is defined in Item (2), Paragraph 1, Article 2 of the Law as “drama, music, applied art, and other intangible cultural products that are of a significant historical or artistic value to Japan (hereinafter referred

  • Traditional Festival As a Tourism Event- Stakeholders' Influence On
    Traditional Festival as a Tourism Event: Stakeholders’ Influence on the Dynamics of the Sendai Tanabata Festival in Japan YUJIE SHEN JAP4693 - Master’s Thesis in Modern Japan Master’s programme 30 credits Autumn 2020 Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages (IKOS) University of Oslo December 15, 2020 Summary A new method of analyzing traditional Japanese festivals (matsuri) based on event studies is presented. Stakeholders’ influence and their interactions redefine narratives of tradition. In Japan, the urbanization of society has transformed matsuri into tourism-oriented events. However, the influence of touristification on tradition has not yet been fully explored. This paper offers a close examination of a case study about the dynamics of the Sendai Tanabata Festival. Local newspaper archives were used as the primary source and adopted the stake- holder theory and social exchange theory from event studies to examine stakeholders’ power and interests, as well as their relationships. The results discovered that it is the conflicts of festival stakeholders throughout the years that shaped the Sendai Tanabata Festival to what it is like today. Although festival organizers and local residents are key players, both domestic and foreign tourists’ influence should also not be neglected. The inheritance of traditional cul- ture depends on its original community i.e. local residents. Depopulation and aging social problems have shifted the weight of festival ownership to tourists, as they contribute to the economic revitalization and regional development. As a result, festival organizers tend to tai- lor the festival to tourists’ tastes, which often leads to change or loss of tradition’s original festive meaning or the invention of a new tradition.

As the leading disciple of Yanagita Kunio (1875–1962), who is known as the founding father of modern folkloric ethnology in Japan, Orikuchi is often considered a nativist ethnologist whose works tend to be construed as a probing into the origin of the nation. He considered the essence of national literature as “the origins of art itself,” and such a critical vision arguably linked him to interwar fascism.1 Nevertheless, his nativist effort as a literatus was far from the nationalist ambition of claiming a socio-cultural unity. On the contrary, Orikuchi invested his erudition to disentangle the concatenation of the nation, religion, and people and thus presented ancient Japanese experience as discursive molecules rooted in each locality. In this regard, his novel Shisha no sho (The Book of the Dead, 1939) plays an instrumental role of insinuating the author’s nuanced modernist revisionism.

In this present article, I have extended the arguments, adding many new insights I developed after the first publication, and reorganized the basic structure of my presentation on Japanese nationalism to make it more accessible for English-speaking readers outside Japan. 1 Nationalist thought in pre-war Japan Abstract: This study aims to clarify the nature and effects of nationalist political thought in pre-war Japan (1800–1941). Despite a common belief that Japanese nationalism is unique and anti-modern in the sense that it is anti-liberal- democratic, feudal, hierarchical, and militaristic, which is sometimes called ‘Ultra-Nationalism’, through an analysis of specific texts, I argue that Japanese nationalism from 1800 to 1941 had a multilateral nature and its dominant aspect was neither feudal nor anti-modern.

  • Asian Anthropology
    Asian Anthropology Asian Anthropology raises important questions regarding the nature of anthropology, and particularly the production and consumption of anthropological knowledge in Asia. Instead of assuming a universal standard or trajectory for the development of anthropology in Asia, the contributors to this volume begin with the appropriate premise that anthropologies in different Asian countries have developed and continue to develop according to their own internal dynamics. With chapters written by an international group of experts in the field, Asian Anthropology will be a useful teaching tool and a fascinating resource for scholars working in Asian anthropology. Jan van Bremen is Professor at the Centre for Japanese and Korean Studies in Leiden University. Eyal Ben-Ari is Professor of Anthropology at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Syed Farid Alatas is Associate Professor at the Department of Sociology, National University of Singapore. Anthropology of Asia series Edited by Shaun Malarney International Christian University, Japan Asia today is one of the most dynamic regions of the world. The previously predominant image of ‘timeless peasants’ has given way to the image of fast- paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of ‘East versus West’, ‘Tradition versus Change’. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity,

  • Junji Koizumi My Paper First Outlines the Five Stage of Development Of
    TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLic imAGE OF ANTHROPOLOGY: THE CASE OF JAPAN Junji Koizumi My paper first outlines the five stage of development of anthro- pology in Japan, and then it gives a brief sketch of the public image of anthropology formed in the latter half of the twentieth century. The reality of Japanese anthropology is amorphous and hard to grasp, but the public image is stereotypical one of centrifugal, useless, romantic and exotic science. The paper finally describes what I call a “practical turn” due to social and institutional changes which started a few years ago, and it concludes with my own experience of transforming the image of anthropology by building a center. My discussion is intended to be a presentation of a comparative material. History and Five Stages of Japanese Anthropology It will be safe to say that anthropology in Japan started as a new obscure discipline around the middle of the last century. An anthropology department started in the University of Tokyo in the 1950s, and a few more somewhat later. It is usually said that Japanese anthropology has a history of some sixty years. But it has a very long prehistory beginning in the nineteenth century. Shinji Yamashita, writing about the history of Japanese Anthropology, divides it into five “developmental” stages: (1) 1884-1913, (2) 1913-1934, (3) 1934-1945, (4) 1945-1964, and (5) from 1964 to the present. Yamashita follows Kazuo Terada’s view that “anthropology in Japan started in 1884 when a group of young scholars formed a workshop called “Friends of Anthropology” stimulated by a biology professor at the University of Tokyo, Edward Morse.
