TM Nord-Honshū (Tōhoku) Tōhoku Vorwort Selbst Besuchern, die schon in Japan waren, ist die Region Tōhoku, die den nördlichen Teil der Hauptinsel Honshū umfasst, oft gänzlich unbekannt. Dabei findet man hier all das, was Japan so faszinierend macht, und zudem ohne Besuchermassen. Bis vor kurzem war der Norden Honshūs tatsächlich schwierig zu bereisen – die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel waren nicht so gut ausgebaut wie im südlichen Teil von Honshū, und auch die englisch- sprachige Ausschilderung ließ noch zu wünschen übrig. Dies alles ist nun im Vorfeld der Olympischen Sommerspiele in Tokio 2020 in Angriff genommen worden. Tōhoku begeistert mit großartigen Landschaften wie den Heiligen Drei Bergen Dewa San- zan in Yamagata, der berühmten Bucht von Matsushima nahe der Stadt Sendai, oder mit der Mondlandschaft um den Vulkan Osorezan. Für kulturell Interessierte bieten die UNESCO Weltkulturerbe-Stätten von Hiraizumi einen Einblick in vergangene Feudalzei- ten. Zahlreiche Feste wie das berühmte Nebuta Matsuri in Aomori oder das Reiter-Festi- val Soma Nomaoi locken jedes Jahr zigtausende Besucher in die Region. FASZINIEREND — BUNT — JAPAN Kurz: es gibt hier Vieles zu entdecken in einer bisher wenig besuchten Region Japans. Das findet inzwischen auch Lonely Planet: für das Jahr 2020 steht Tōhoku an dritter Stelle WIR FLIEGEN SIE HIN! unter den vom Lonely Planet an Top 10 gesetzten Regionen weltweit.

    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.

    HIRATA KOKUGAKU and the TSUGARU DISCIPLES by Gideon

    SPIRITS AND IDENTITY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY NORTHEASTERN JAPAN: HIRATA KOKUGAKU AND THE TSUGARU DISCIPLES by Gideon Fujiwara A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2013 © Gideon Fujiwara, 2013 ABSTRACT While previous research on kokugaku , or nativism, has explained how intellectuals imagined the singular community of Japan, this study sheds light on how posthumous disciples of Hirata Atsutane based in Tsugaru juxtaposed two “countries”—their native Tsugaru and Imperial Japan—as they transitioned from early modern to modern society in the nineteenth century. This new perspective recognizes the multiplicity of community in “Japan,” which encompasses the domain, multiple levels of statehood, and “nation,” as uncovered in recent scholarship. My analysis accentuates the shared concerns of Atsutane and the Tsugaru nativists toward spirits and the spiritual realm, ethnographic studies of commoners, identification with the north, and religious thought and worship. I chronicle the formation of this scholarly community through their correspondence with the head academy in Edo (later Tokyo), and identify their autonomous character. Hirao Rosen conducted ethnography of Tsugaru and the “world” through visiting the northern island of Ezo in 1855, and observing Americans, Europeans, and Qing Chinese stationed there. I show how Rosen engaged in self-orientation and utilized Hirata nativist theory to locate Tsugaru within the spiritual landscape of Imperial Japan. Through poetry and prose, leader Tsuruya Ariyo identified Mount Iwaki as a sacred pillar of Tsugaru, and insisted one could experience “enjoyment” from this life and beyond death in the realm of spirits.
