Shimanami Kaido passes, from Oshima island which is the home of Murakami pirate. He was a well known pirate in Japan, active in the Seto Inland Sea Picture 1 Tatara-Ohashi Bridge during Muromachi period (1336~1573`s). Murakami pirates were conducting piracy such as plundering. However,after establishing a point of interest in key points of the route, he started collecting various toll taxes from the ship coming and going, while serving as a pilotage guaranteeing the safety of the route. We can visit Murakami pirate museum. Picture 2 Murakami pirate museum ◇Recommended sightseeing spot Shimanami Kaido has a lot of sightseeing spots. We recommend Kurushima Channel sightseeing tower in Imabari. Kurushima-Channel Bridge is the first triple suspension bridge in the world. Kurushima Channel is the one of the three greatest rapid tides, and you can see the great view that a lot of small islands create. Seto Island Sea is the place where once land was sea due to sea level rise. So there are many small islands. Moreover, this spot is famous for the night view. The bridge illumination is great.

89 The Remnants of Structures Thought to be Seirō in the Historical Site of Noshima Castle Yoshimi YAMAGUCHI*1 The remnants of six sōbashira-style earthfast pillar structures were found in Noshima Castle. They consist of square 2 ken × 2 ken bases and, as such, are likely to have been seirō. The archeological survey report does not clearly indicate the role of these structures; the report argues that they may have been seirō, but it also expresses doubt by questioning what useful role such structures could have served and why there were so many of them. In this article, I reaffirmed that the remnants of sōbashira-style earthfast pillar structures discovered in Noshima Castle were all seirō. Having examined these seirō as well as the seirō in other medieval fortresses, I concluded that they were erected to keep a close lookout over the sheer drop on the outside of the fortress over the dobei. Also, have been erected from the middle to late 16th century, they belonged exclusively to a period of conflict in Japan’s history, marked by fierce battles between large armies.

Setonaikai National Park Was Established in 1934 As One of the First National Parks in Japan
An inland archipelago and year-round shimmering Setonaikai seascape where people and nature live as one 16 Setonaikai National Park was established in 1934 as one of the first national parks in Japan. The national park is surrounded National Park by the five straits of Kitan, Naruto, Kanmon, Hoyo and Akashi. The park extends over 11 prefectures and covers some 900,000 hectares including the sea area, making it the largest national park in the country. The main feature of the national park is its archipelagic landscape formed by countless islands of all sizes. The Seto Inland Sea can be broadly divided into four regions: from the east, the Awaji Island region, Bisan-seto region, Geiyo Islands region, and Suonada region. The national parkʼs landscape has a complex structure consisting of relatively large sea areas known as nada, “open sea” or wan, “bay” and narrow channels known as seto or kaikyo, which both translate as “strait”. The inland sea, which is separated from the open ocean, is characterized by signifi cant tidal variation and is known for its fast currents. Culture has fl ourished in the Seto Inland Sea region since ancient times and a major feature of the region is its open, friendly local environment that integrates human life as part of the landscape in the form of terraced fields, fishing towns waiting for favorable tides, and many other scenic points. Since ancient times, the region has prospered as a major domestic and international port for sea traffic, including kitamaebune cargo ships that sailed the Japan Sea during the Edo period (1603-1868), and when Korean delegations to Japan visited the region.

Seeing Like Monks: Strife and Order at Kōyasan Temple, Japan, Fourteenth to Seventeenth Centuries
Seeing like Monks: Strife and Order at Kōyasan Temple, Japan, Fourteenth to Seventeenth Centuries by Eiji Okawa M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2016 © Eiji Okawa, 2016 ii Abstract This study reassesses the politics of religious institutions from the late medieval to the early Tokugawa era in Japan. It suggests that the dominant discourse on the topic has been constrained by a theoretical tension between religion and the state as the main framing device. What has been overlooked is the interplay between geographical manifestations of religion and politics. This study examines documents of the Kōyasan Buddhist temple, to learn how monks overcame tensions at the contested space of the temple from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. It was found that in the late medieval period (fourteenth to the late sixteenth centuries), the numinous power of the temple was exploited by monks to transform themselves into regional overlords. Monks controlled land through the medium of a sacred landscape and governed the region in unison with deities. This changed with the emergence in the late sixteenth century of the unified state of early modern Japan. The state curtailed the potential of the sacred to give rise to autonomous power, all the while consolidating its hold by ritually tapping the numinous power of a national landscape. It also entrenched its power at the heart of the temple society by issuing land grants.

Kinship, Inheritance, and the Environment in Medieval Japan By
The Ties That Bind: Kinship, Inheritance, and the Environment in Medieval Japan by Kevin L. Gouge A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2017 Doctoral Committee: Professor Hitomi Tonomura, Chair Associate Professor Christian de Pee Associate Professor Leslie B Pincus Emeritus Professor Thomas R Trautmann Kevin L. Gouge [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0003-0684-0038 Copyright © 2017 Kevin L. Gouge All rights reserved Acknowledgements My path through graduate school has been a long and winding one, and I have many people and organizations to thank. This dissertation is already too long, so I will keep my comments brief. First, my doctoral advisor Hitomi Tonomura has guided me through this project at every stage, and has helped me in innumerable ways to enhance the final form of this work and my understanding of Japanese history. I hope the many hours she spent helping me to design this project, apply for grants, and revise the final version were worthwhile. The kernel for my interest in medieval Japan came from Andrew Goble, my undergraduate history professor and master’s advisor, who made my initial work on the Ichikawa possible. Leslie Pincus, Christian De Pee, and Thomas Trautmann have provided essential advice on this dissertation as committee members, and have greatly improved my perspective on the nature of this project. Peggy Pascoe and Jeff Hanes guided me in my early historiographical inklings at the University of Oregon, which were solidified at the University of Michigan through work with John Carson, Dena Goodman, and Peggy McCracken.

Peasants, Skinners, and Dead Cattle: the Transformation of Rural Society in Western Japan, 1600-1890
PEASANTS, SKINNERS, AND DEAD CATTLE: THE TRANSFORMATION OF RURAL SOCIETY IN WESTERN JAPAN, 1600-1890 BY MICHAEL THOMAS ABELE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Assistant Professor Roderick Wilson, Chair Professor Emeritus Ronald P. Toby Professor Antoinette Burton Associate Professor Dan Shao ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the development of capitalism in Japan in the nineteenth century by focusing on the transition from status-based property to private property. Property is important to the capitalist transition because the separation of the laborer from the objective means of labor forms the necessary precondition for capitalist production. At the beginning of the Tokugawa period (1600-1868), property in Japan was directly tied to status. Status was a form of organizing production and political control via semi-autonomous social groups based on a shared trade or territorial space. Status groups provided status-specific service to the Tokugawa state in return for the official recognition of status-specific rights and privileges, which constituted the status-based property of that group. The establishment of modern, capitalist property relations emerged out of the dissolution of the status system, while the abolition of status marked the triumph of new property relations. To trace these changes in status and property, I focus on the kawata (skinner) status group from the late medieval period to the end of the nineteenth century. The kawata were a group of skinners, knackers, and small holders who were responsible for disposing of dead draft animals in their local communities.
