At this time, there were only 8 higher schools in Japan, and Matsumoto Higher School was the 9th. It was the first public higher school to be named after the area in which it was built, subsequently all higher schools were named in this way. The old school building, which has been designated an important cultural property, is now used as the Culture Hall. “Shinano-no-kuni,” the song that almost every citizen of Nagano Prefecture knows how to sing. The lyrics for the prefectural song “Shinano-no-kuni” were written in 1899 by Retsu Asai, a teacher at the Nagano Prefectural Normal School (presently the Shinshu University Faculty of Education) and a descendant of the former Matsumoto domain samurai family. As the song recalls, the different areas of Shinano were separated from one another by rivers and mountains, and each area had its own unique culture. The song sought to foster a sense of unity among prefectural residents by depicting landscapes in various areas throughout the prefecture, which is referred to as “Shinano”― the old name rather than the newly appointed name of Nagano.

In particular, the number of students taking part in internships increases every year through collaboration with businesses throughout Japan and overseas, as well as with other organizations and local public bodies. This has resulted in a significant increase in enthusiasm among students for job hunting and training opportunities. During the job hunting season, the Center holds job hunting orientation sessions and events at every stage to enable students to obtain the information and knowledge they need to find employment. Every year, the University’s joint company information session brings together companies and organizations from across Japan that are particularly eager to hire Shinshu University graduates. What is Special about 5 Our Programs ? SchoolEducation of General Education: where first-year stu- dents from all faculties come together Shinshu University has eight faculties in five campuses spread across Nagano Prefecture. First-year students from all faculties study together at the School of General Education on the Matsumoto Campus taking general education programs. Development of human resources equipped with practical skills in both local communities and on the global stage The Special Interdisciplinary Educational Program was established in the 2017 academic year as a means of developing talented human resources equipped with the practical skills needed to work in both local communities and on the global stage. The program consists of two courses that aim to develop human resources with the ability to work in both local communities and on the global Local Innovation Forum stage: the Local Innovator Development Course (commenced in the 2017 academic year) and the Global Core Competency Program (commenced in the 2018 academic year). Cultivation of an environmental mindset that uti- lizes Shinshu’s natural environment The key principle of education at Shinshu University is that its graduates should be able to resolve social issues while maintaining an enriched sense of humanity and being able to serve as leaders in society.

Abstract Visual and Material Culture at Hōkyōji Imperial Convent: The Significance of “Women’s Art” in Early Modern Japan by Sharon Mitsuko Yamamoto Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Gregory Levine, Chair This dissertation focuses on the visual and material culture of Hōkyōji Imperial Buddhist Convent (Hōkyōji ama monzeki jiin) during the Edo period (1600-1868). Situated in Kyoto and in operation since the mid-fourteenth century, Hōkyōji has been the home for women from the highest echelons of society—the nobility and military aristocracy—since its foundation. The objects associated with women in the rarefied position of princess-nun offer an invaluable look into the role of visual and material culture in the lives of elite women in early modern Japan. Art associated with nuns reflects aristocratic upbringing, religious devotion, and individual expression. As such, it defies easy classification: court, convent, sacred, secular, elite, and female are shown to be inadequate labels to identify art associated with women. This study examines visual and material culture through the intersecting factors that inspired, affected, and defined the lives of princess-nuns, broadening the understanding of the significance of art associated with women in Japanese art history.

  • A Proximate Remove
    Asian Studies | Queer Theory How might queer theory transform our interpretations of medieval Japanese liter- a proximate remove ature and how might this literature reorient the assumptions, priorities, and crit- Jackson ical practices of queer theory? Through a close reading of The Tale of Genji, an eleventh-century text that depicts the lifestyles of aristocrats during the Heian pe- Queering Intimacy and Loss in The Tale of Genji riod, A Proximate Remove explores this question by mapping the destabilizing aes- thetic, affective, and phenomenological dimensions of experiencing intimacy and remove proximate a loss. The spatiotemporal fissures Reginald Jackson calls “proximate removes” sus- pend belief in prevailing structures. Beyond issues of sexuality, Genji queers in its reluctance to romanticize or reproduce a flawed social order. An understanding of this hesitation enhances how we engage with premodern texts and how we ques- tion contemporary disciplinary stances. “A brave and groundbreaking work. Jackson’s queer reading of The Tale of Genji— where ‘queer’ does not index a particular sexual identity or mode of erotic ex- change but, rather, provides a provocative critical lens—throws into sharp relief practices of Heian sexual politics. Intimately researched and engagingly written.” Charlotte Eubanks, author of Miracles of Book and Body: Buddhist Textual Culture and Medieval Japan “A Proximate Remove offers a bold and provocative reading of the eleventh-century in and Loss Intimacy Queering classic The Tale of Genji. It begins the much-needed task of exposing the ideologi- cal limitations that define the parameters of existing premodern Japanese studies.” Atsuko Ueda, author of Language, Nation, Race: Linguistic Reform in Meiji Japan (1868–1912) Reginald Jackson is Associate Professor of Premodern Japanese Literature and Performance at the University of Michigan.

That volume was first published in 1994, with a revised compact edition published in 1999. The main text of Shinto jiten is translated into English and publicly available in its entirety at the Kokugakuin University website as "The Encyclopedia of Shinto" (EOS). This English edition of the chronology is based on the one that appeared in the revised version of the Jiten. It is already available online, but it is also being published in book form in hopes of facilitating its use. The original Japanese-language chronology was produced by Inoue Nobutaka and Namiki Kazuko. The English translation was prepared by Carl Freire, with assistance from Kobori Keiko. Translation and publication of the chronology was carried out as part of the "Digital Museum Operation and Development for Educational Purposes" project of the Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics, Organization for the Advancement of Research and Development, Kokugakuin University. I hope it helps to advance the pursuit of Shinto research throughout the world. Inoue Nobutaka Project Director January 2016 ***** Translated from the Japanese original Shinto jiten, shukusatsuban.

  • Poetic Imagination in Japanese Art: Selections from the Collection of Mary and Cheney Cowles
    Poetic Imagination in Japanese Art: Selections from the Collection of Mary and Cheney Cowles October 13, 2018 – January 13, 2019 Portland Art Museum Gallery Labels Poetic Imagination in Japanese Art: Selections from the Mary and Cheney Cowles Collection Portland Art Museum | October 13, 2018–January 13, 2019 | Gallery Didactics Not for publication 1 / 74 INTRODUCTION The Portland Art Museum is honored to present Poetic Imagination in Japanese Art: Selections from the Collection of Mary and Cheney Cowles. Formed over the past four decades, the Cowles Collection reveals thoughtful and discriminating taste, informed by a deep sympathy for tradition as well as an adventurous spirit open to departures from the canon. This is the first major exhibition devoted to the Collection, and the great majority of works are being shown to the public for the first time. From a host of possibilities, we have chosen to focus on one of the great strengths of the collection: visual art closely tied to poetic traditions. Poetry, painting, and calligraphy have always been deeply intertwined in East Asia, but in Japan the nature and meaning of those relationships have transformed over time, responding to larger cultural changes. The more than one hundred paintings, calligraphies, and ceramics in the exhibition, spanning the eighth to 20th centuries, illuminate the central role of poetry in the painting and calligraphy across time and in diverse social contexts. Exquisitely beautiful and richly diverse, the works in this exhibition invite contemplative looking and emotional response. We hope that you will be moved to compose your own verses about what you see and experience.
