Driving in Japan Renting a car is an option worth considering if you plan to explore rural Japan (Oki Islands) where public transportation can be both inconvenient and infrequent. A rental car can also be an economical alternative when traveling in groups or can make traveling with a lot of luggage easier. The minimum age for driving in Japan is 18 years, and you will need a Japanese driver's license or an International Driving Permit (IDP) in order to rent and drive a car.

The Myth of the Goddess of the Undersea World and the Tale of Empress Jingu’S Subjugation of Silla
Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1993 20/2-3 The Myth of the Goddess of the Undersea World and the Tale of Empress Jingu’s Subjugation of Silla Akima Toshio In prewar Japan, the mythical tale of Empress Jingii’s 神功皇后 conquest of the Korean kingdoms comprised an important part of elementary school history education, and was utilized to justify Japan5s coloniza tion of Korea. After the war the same story came to be interpreted by some Japanese historians—most prominently Egami Namio— as proof or the exact opposite, namely, as evidence of a conquest of Japan by a people of nomadic origin who came from Korea. This theory, known as the horse-rider theory, has found more than a few enthusiastic sup porters amone Korean historians and the Japanese reading public, as well as some Western scholars. There are also several Japanese spe cialists in Japanese history and Japan-Korea relations who have been influenced by the theory, although most have not accepted the idea (Egami himself started as a specialist in the history of northeast Asia).1 * The first draft of this essay was written during my fellowship with the International Research Center for Japanese Studies, and was read in a seminar organized by the institu tion on 31 January 199丄. 1 am indebted to all researchers at the center who participated in the seminar for their many valuable suggestions. I would also like to express my gratitude to Umehara Takeshi, the director general of the center, and Nakanism Susumu, also of the center, who made my research there possible.

REVIEW OF ISLAND STUDIES The Meaning of the Territorial Incorporation of Takeshima (1905) Tsukamoto Takashi 1 Introduction 2 The Cabinet Decision on Territorial Incorporation (1905) 3 Displays of State Authority by Japan 4 Was Takeshima Historically Korean Territory? 5 Evaluating Korean Imperial Edict 41 and State Council Directive No. 3 6 Conclusion 1. Introduction On January 28, 1905, the Japanese cabinet decided to incorporate Takeshima into Japanese territory. The cabinet decision acknowledges that while there are no traces of the “uninhabited island” specified by the geographic coordinates having been occupied by any other country, sea lion hunting at the island by the Japanese citizen Nakai Yozaburo since 1903 constitutes occupation, and therefore the island is under the jurisdiction of the Oki Islands magistrate, as part of Shimane Prefecture. In short, the incorporation of Takeshima into Japanese territory was performed utilizing “title by occupation” of terra nullius, which is one method of territorial acquisition under international law. This was soon followed by a series of administrative measures, starting with the announcement of the island’s name and affiliation by the governor of Shimane Prefecture, revisions to fishing regulations (to permit the hunting of sea lions on Takeshima), registration in the state-owned land ledger and the levy of fees for the use of government owned land, and so on. Korea, on the other hand, has a number of objections to Japan’s incorporation of Takeshima (Korean name Dokdo). It now insists that (1) the island was historically Korean territory and (2) Korean Imperial Edict 41 assigned it to the jurisdiction of Uldo-gun (county) in 1900, even earlier than Japan’s cabinet decision.

Izumo (No Kuni) Fudoki
Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 37/2: 185–222 © 2010 Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture Anders Carlqvist The Land-Pulling Myth and Some Aspects of Historic Reality Izumo fudoki describes Izumo Province, situated in today’s Shimane Prefec- ture and facing the Japan Sea. It is the oldest surviving Japanese text compiled by aristocrats from a region, hence giving us unique information about a Japa- nese province during the Nara period. However, Izumo fudoki has been little consulted by Western scholars. The land-pulling myth is the first myth to be related in Izumo fudoki; it narrates how one of the local deities looks across the Japan Sea and decides to pull land from four of the places that he can see, including from the Korean Peninsula. This land he cuts off, pulls across the sea, and attaches to Izumo, hence making the province larger. This article dis- cusses two ways of interpreting the myth. One possible interpretation is that the four places from which land is being pulled correspond to an area that was in different ways connected to Izumo during the late Yayoi period. The other, perhaps more worthwhile, explanation of the myth is to see how it sup- ported the local aristocracy in Izumo Province as it tried to maintain partial autonomy vis-à-vis the central government. keywords: Izumo fudoki—Izumo Province—Izumo no Omi—myths—deities— burial mounds—kofun—Yayoi period—Nara period Anders Carlqvist teaches at Morioka Junior College in Iwate Prefectural University. 185 he eighth-century text Izumo (no kuni) fudoki 出雲国風土記 (733) narrates several intriguing myths, most of them not mentioned in the official records,Kojiki 古事記 (712) and Nihon shoki 日本書紀 (720), com- Tpiled by the central government.1 The myths not only differ from the ones of the central tradition; some of them even outright oppose the hegemony of the court.

Morphological Variation of Large Japanese Field Mice, Apodemus Speciosus on the Izu and Oki Islands
Mammal Study 31: 29–40 (2006) © the Mammalogical Society of Japan Morphological variation of large Japanese field mice, Apodemus speciosus on the Izu and Oki Islands Yasushi Takada1,*, Eiichi Sakai1, Yasushi Uematsu1 and Takashi Tateishi2 1 Department of Anatomy, School of Dentistry, Aichi-Gakuin University, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya 464-8650, Japan 2 Tokorozawa, Japan Abstract. Morphological variation was examined in large Japanese field mice, Apodemus speciosus, of five populations from the Izu Islands (from Oshima, Shikinejima, Niijima, Kozushima and Miyakejima), four from the Oki Islands (from Dogo, Nishinoshima, Nakanoshima and Chiburijima), and four from the Japanese mainland of Honshu. Univariate and multivariate (PCA) analyses were conducted on the basis of body-, mandible-, and molar-measurements. Overall, the insular mice had a tendency toward gigantism, and also showed marked morphological differentiation among the islands. The sizes of the mandible and molar were inversely correlated to island area and temperature, thus suggesting a selective effect. Although faunal diversity might be related to the morphological variation in size, there was no clear relationship between the morphological variation and biotic factors such as predation and competition. The populations from the Izu Islands underwent marked morphological divergence, suggesting founder effects. The Izu Island are oceanic and have probably never been connected with Honshu, hence mice were likely transported from Honshu. On the other hand, the Oki Islands had been connected with Honshu in the late Pleistocene. The founders of the insular mice related to the history of the islands could have likely affected the morphological variation. Key words: Apodemus speciosus, Izu Islands, large Japanese field mice, Oki Islands, variation.

The Historical Evolution of Arms and Armor: the European Arming Sword and Japanese Uchigatana
The Historical Evolution of Arms and Armor: The European Arming Sword and Japanese Uchigatana An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science By Brendan Corcoran Christopher Francis Colby Jensen Kevin Piskorowski David Van Sickle Date: May 13, 2021 Report Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on the web without editorial or peer review. ABSTRACT The late medieval period of Europe (1250-1500 AD) and the Kamakura Period of Japan (1185- 1333 AD) were both eras defined by perpetual conflict and warfare. As a result, a rich history of weapons and armor was developed. The sword was one such weapon that saw widespread use in combat. This project seeks to investigate two specific swords, the European arming sword and the Japanese uchigatana. The factors that led to these swords’ demand and forging processes used to create them will be revealed with a thorough exploration of the historical context. Additionally, replicas of both an arming sword and uchigatana will be fabricated in a historically representative manner. An analysis of the design, forging process, and materials science aspects will be considered to compare these two swords, originating from two vastly different regions of the world in a similar time of unrest. 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The team would like to first thank Professor Diana Lados for involving us with this multifaceted and in-depth learning experience.

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.
