El marco general estaba, pero no podía encontrar aquello que hiciera sentido en mí como esperaba que sucediera, hasta que vi en el Mito lo que faltaba al rompecabezas.

  • Yasukuni and the Aesthetics and Ideology of Kobayashi Yoshinori's
    Volume 11 | Issue 47 | Number 7 | Article ID 4031 | Nov 22, 2013 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Revisioning a Japanese Spiritual Recovery through Manga: Yasukuni and the Aesthetics and Ideology of Kobayashi Yoshinori’s “Gomanism” James Shields – Kato Etsuro, “Shin rinen manga no giho” (Techniques for a New Manga), 1942 Send to Kindle Yasukuni Shrine is the final stronghold in defence of the history, spirit, and culture of Japan. Summary – Kobayashi Yoshinori, Yasukuniron, 2005 This essay provides a critical analysis of the aesthetic ideology of “Gomanism” in the manga In 1992, just as Japan’s economic bubble was in of Kobayashi Yoshinori (b. 1953), particularly process of bursting, a series of manga began to Yasukuniron (On Yasukuni, 2005) and Tennoron appear in the weekly Japanese tabloidSPA! (On the Emperor, 2009), in order to flesh out under the title Gomanism sengen (Haughtiness the implications of the author’s “revisionist” or Insolence Manifesto).2 Authored by approach to Japanese religion, politics and Kobayashi Yoshinori (b. 1953), this series history blurred the line between manga and graphic novel to engage in forthright social and political commentary with an unabashedly nationalistic slant. Over the following two decades, Kobayashi and his works have become a publishing phenomenon. As of 2013, there are over thirty volumes of Gomanism (and Neo- Gomanism) manga, including several “special editions”—such as the best-sellingShin gomanizumu sengen special: Sensoron(Neo- Gomanism Manifesto Special: On War, 1998) and, more recently,Gomanizumu sengen special: Tennoron (Gomanism Manifesto Special: On the Emperor, 2009)—that have caused controversy and even international criticism for their revisionist portrayal of [Figure 1] modern Japanese history.

  • University of Nevada, Reno American Shinto Community of Practice
    University of Nevada, Reno American Shinto Community of Practice: Community formation outside original context A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology By Craig E. Rodrigue Jr. Dr. Erin E. Stiles/Thesis Advisor May, 2017 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by CRAIG E. RODRIGUE JR. Entitled American Shinto Community Of Practice: Community Formation Outside Original Context be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Erin E. Stiles, Advisor Jenanne K. Ferguson, Committee Member Meredith Oda, Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2017 i Abstract Shinto is a native Japanese religion with a history that goes back thousands of years. Because of its close ties to Japanese culture, and Shinto’s strong emphasis on place in its practice, it does not seem to be the kind of religion that would migrate to other areas of the world and convert new practitioners. However, not only are there examples of Shinto being practiced outside of Japan, the people doing the practice are not always of Japanese heritage. The Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America is one of the only fully functional Shinto shrines in the United States and is run by the first non-Japanese Shinto priest. This thesis looks at the community of practice that surrounds this American shrine and examines how membership is negotiated through action. There are three main practices that form the larger community: language use, rituals, and Aikido. Through participation in these activities members engage with an American Shinto community of practice.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

Of these species, T. hakonensis is widely distributed in Japan and is important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Two species, T. hakonensis and T. brandtii, exhibit anadromy. In this paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of the four species of Tribolodon in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 106 years between 1908 and 2013, and the parasites, including 44 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (2 named species), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (18), Monogenea (0), Cestoda (3), Nematoda (9), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinida (1), Mollusca (1), Branchiura (0), Copepoda (6 ), and Isopoda (1). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, previous identification used for the parasite occurring in or on Tribolodon spp.; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japan; and the published source of each locality record.

No severe natural phenomena bring about disaster by themselves. When defense against one type of disaster has been established, another unexpected form often occurs thereafter. Disaster evolves because the human society evolves. Although we can not avoid new types of disasters, it is possible to decrease the destruction done by disasters by acting on information obtained from detailed, continuous studies of natural phenomena. Following rules may be applied to the evolution in the form of the natural disasters. A new type of disaster occurs during the process of the recovery when man breaks the balance of nature. Similar scale of natural phenomena does not necessarily cause disasters. The deciding factor is the existing state of the human society involved. Evolution of disaster occurs even without unusual natural phenomena but in usual natural state. A lot of wastes induce air pollution, water pollution and geopollution. For instance, some garbage and wastes evolve harmful materials when smoke meet with fog, some chemical compound as VOC etc.

Hassan, Takanori Ishikawa, Singo SEKI and A. Mahmuda Laboratory of Aquatic Ecology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kochi University, B-200 Nankoku, Kochi 783-8502, Japan Abstract: Analyses of partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences support the classification of Aburahaya (Rhynchocypris lagowskii) from the Sea of Japan and Pacific Ocean. To investigate genetic population structure, we examine nucleotide sequence of the cytochrome b region. In this study we found three major geographical groups. Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that the population of the group 3 differentiation is 0.8759 ± 0.0333. The group 2 differentiation is 0.5333 ± 0.1801 which is collected from the Kamishyou River (Toyama Prefecture) and Hakui River (Ishikawa Prefecture) populations.

However, premodern documents concerning Ise Shinto show that such understanding are mostly modern and contemporary results of multiple reinterpretations of Ise’s role throughout history. This article proposes a semiotic approach to understand some instances in which aspects of the cultural meanings attributed to the Grand Shrine of Ise—symbolism, rituals, and representations—have been re-contextualized, re-signified, and reinvented. In particular, this article suggests that emphasis on Shinto continuity tends to ignore cultural and discursive contexts and, even more crucially, the distinction between forms (signifiers) and their contents (signified), thus resulting in a more or less voluntary erasure of traces of historical and conceptual change. A semiotic approach will show that much of the Shinto tradition at Ise consists in the preservation, transmission, and repetition of ritualized forms without clearly defined meanings; this aspect in turn has produced an ongoing “quest for significance” regarding the Shinto tradition in general, and Ise in particular.
