The Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal (officially the International Military Tribunal for the Far East) was set up by an executive order of General Douglas MacArthur (1880– 1964), the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers in Japan, on January 19, 1946.2) The Charter set forth the constitution, jurisdiction and functions of the IMTFE. Earli- er, on September 2, 1945, MacArthur had accepted the Japanese surrender, aboard the USS Missouri. The IMTFEIMTFE began on May 3, 1946,1946, and ended sixty years agoago on November 12, 1948, when verdicts and the “majority opinion alone were read in open court and so became part of the transcript.”3) There were three dissenting, separate opinions. Eleven Justices constituted the IMTFE: one each from Australia, Canada, China, France, Great Britain, India, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Soviet Union and United States. The dissent- ing opinions were from Justice Henri Bernard (France), Justice Radhabinod Pal (In- dia), and Justice Bert V. A. Röling (The Netherlands).4) Pal’s (1886–1967) lengthy dis- sent “argued for the acquittal on all counts of the accused Japanese wartime leaders.”5) His dissent “was as long as the twelve-hundred page majority” judgment.6) A leading historian, John Dower, comments: “SCAP did not permit Pal’s dissent to be translat- ed.”7) Richard Minear writes: “Tanaka Masaaki .

  • Update: Corona Und Die Filmindustrie Nach Wie Vor Bestimmt Das Coronavirus Die Internationalen Schlagzeilen Und Macht Auch Vor Den Kulturbranchen Nicht Halt
    Filmnewsletter April Liebe Filmfreunde, ich bin David und werde, wie Rafael schon erwähnt hat, in Zukunft den Filmnewsletter weiterführen. An dieser Stelle nochmal einen herzlichen Dank für Rafaels tolle Arbeit. Kurz zu mir: ich studiere im Bachelor Ostasienwissenschaften bzw. Sinologie und bin schon länger sehr interessiert am ostasiatischen Film. Trotz des sehr besonderen Semesterstarts freue ich mich darauf, euch in den nächsten Monaten über das ostasiatische Kino zu berichten und hoffe, dass wir uns mithilfe von spannenden Filmen die Zeit verkürzen können. Allerdings gibt es bessere Zeiten für Filminteressierte, denn durch das Coronavirus ist nicht nur der Uni-Alltag eingeschränkt, sondern auch die Filmindustrie ist stark limitiert. Rafael hat hierauf bereits im Februar aufmerksam gemacht, aufgrund der rasanten Veränderungen will ich aber nochmals ein Update über die Situation geben. Zudem ist am 10. April traurigerweise der japanische Regisseur Nobuhiko Obayashi (⼤林 宣彦) gestorben, auf dessen Leben und Werk ich daher zurückblicken möchte. Update: Corona und die Filmindustrie Nach wie vor bestimmt das Coronavirus die internationalen Schlagzeilen und macht auch vor den Kulturbranchen nicht halt. Viele Künstler haben Probleme, ihre Werke zu zeigen und zu verkaufen und auch Filmproduktionen mussten pausiert werden und Kinos wurden geschlossen. Dies gilt ebenso für die 1/4 ostasiatische Filmindustrie. Zwar wurden in China kurzzeitig wieder viele Kinos geöffnet, doch wurde dies inzwischen wieder zurückgenommen, um größere Menschenansammlungen dort zu vermeiden. Dies führt allmählich bei Kinobetreibern zu deutlichen Einbußen, die sich vor allem für kleinere Betreiber empfindlich auswirken. So haben allein in China bisher etwa 5000 TV- und Film-Unternehmen ihre Registrierung zurückgezogen, mehr als doppelt so viele wie im ganzen letzten Jahr.

  • 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.

  • A Thesis Entitled Yoshimoto Taka'aki, Communal Illusion, and The
    A Thesis entitled Yoshimoto Taka’aki, Communal Illusion, and the Japanese New Left by Manuel Yang Submitted as partial fulfillment for requirements for The Master of Arts Degree in History ________________________ Adviser: Dr. William D. Hoover ________________________ Adviser: Dr. Peter Linebaugh ________________________ Dr. Alfred Cave ________________________ Graduate School The University of Toledo (July 2005) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is customary in a note of acknowledgments to make the usual mea culpa concerning the impossibility of enumerating all the people to whom the author has incurred a debt in writing his or her work, but, in my case, this is far truer than I can ever say. This note is, therefore, a necessarily abbreviated one and I ask for a small jubilee, cancellation of all debts, from those that I fail to mention here due to lack of space and invidiously ungrateful forgetfulness. Prof. Peter Linebaugh, sage of the trans-Atlantic commons, who, as peerless mentor and comrade, kept me on the straight and narrow with infinite "grandmotherly kindness" when my temptation was always to break the keisaku and wander off into apostate digressions; conversations with him never failed to recharge the fiery voltage of necessity and desire of historical imagination in my thinking. The generously patient and supportive free rein that Prof. William D. Hoover, the co-chair of my thesis committee, gave me in exploring subjects and interests of my liking at my own preferred pace were nothing short of an ideal that all academic apprentices would find exceedingly enviable; his meticulous comments have time and again mercifully saved me from committing a number of elementary factual and stylistic errors.

  • Visualizing the Classics: Intellectual Networks and Cultural Nostalgia
    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/58771 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation Author: Kok, D.P. Title: Visualizing the classics : reading surimono and ky ka books as social and cultural history Issue Date: 2017-10-10 ō Chapter 5: Visualizing the classics: Intellectual networks and cultural nostalgia 5.1 Introduction This chapter investigates how kyōka poets acquired their knowledge of classical literature, discusses the way in which poets and illustrators visualized literature in their projects, and reflects on what their motivations were for referring to specific elements in cultural history. Shunman’s kokugaku connections have been elucidated by Tanaka, and kokugaku influences in two surimono series that Shunman designed in the first half of the 1810s have been researched by Carpenter.302 My investigation continues on their approach by tracing how other major kyōka poets and surimono designers were connected to intellectual networks of their time; in particular to scholars of the classical texts that inspired literary surimono series. Moreover, textual information in the surimono is matched to contemporaneous scholarship. Did knowledge of classical literature enter kyōka society via printed exegetical texts in commercial editions, or are ties to scholars generally so close that surimono creators had access to such knowledge already before the general public did? How did kyōka poets relate to the ideological underpinnings of the kokugaku movement? And is there any relation between birth class and the influx of cultural knowledge detectable in kyōka society? Answering these questions will clarify where surimono creators gained their understanding of the classical texts they visualized, and what role each of these creators played.

  • Kokugaku in Meiji-Period Japan: the Modern Transformation of ‘National Learning’ and the Formation of Scholarly Societies, by Michael Wachutka
    Kokugaku in Meiji-period Japan: The Modern Transformation of ‘National Learning’ and the Formation of Scholarly Societies, by Michael Wachutka. 著者 HANSEN Wilburn journal or Japan review : Journal of the International publication title Research Center for Japanese Studies volume 27 page range 248-249 year 2014-11-27 URL http://doi.org/10.15055/00007159 BOOK REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW Kokugaku in Meiji-period Japan: The Modern Transformation of ‘National Learning’ and the Formation of Scholarly Societies Michael Wachutka Global Oriental, 2013 xv + 307 pages. ISBN13 9789004235304; E-ISBN 9789004236332 Michael Wachutka’s monograph is the first in English dedicated to tracking and explaining the development of the kokugaku movement during the Meiji period. As Dr. Wachutka states, more often than not in Western academics the story of kokugaku ends just as modernity is said to begin, until new kokugaku arises in the writings of influential twentieth century scholars such as Yanagita Kunio and Orikuchi Shinobu. It is clearly important and necessary to explain this failure by omission of the academic community. Dr. Wachutka makes a case for the importance of his study based not only on the historical significance but also on the contemporary social relevance his results display. He makes another case for the importance of his work by highlighting his choice of the prosopographical method. He expresses the hope that a study based on collective biography can create the grounds for sound and meaningful generalization, while also preserving appreciation for the unique characteristics of the particular individuals for whom greater historical information is now readily available in English.

  • Keichū, Motoori Norinaga, and Kokugaku in Early Modern Japan
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Jeweled Broom and the Dust of the World: Keichū, Motoori Norinaga, and Kokugaku in Early Modern Japan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Emi Joanne Foulk 2016 © Copyright by Emi Joanne Foulk 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Jeweled Broom and the Dust of the World: Keichū, Motoori Norinaga, and Kokugaku in Early Modern Japan by Emi Joanne Foulk Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Herman Ooms, Chair This dissertation seeks to reconsider the eighteenth-century kokugaku scholar Motoori Norinaga’s (1730-1801) conceptions of language, and in doing so also reformulate the manner in which we understand early modern kokugaku and its role in Japanese history. Previous studies have interpreted kokugaku as a linguistically constituted communitarian movement that paved the way for the makings of Japanese national identity. My analysis demonstrates, however, that Norinaga¾by far the most well-known kokugaku thinker¾was more interested in pulling a fundamental ontology out from language than tying a politics of identity into it: grammatical codes, prosodic rhythms, and sounds and their attendant sensations were taken not as tools for interpersonal communication but as themselves visible and/or audible threads in the fabric of the cosmos. Norinaga’s work was thus undergirded by a positive understanding ii of language as ontologically grounded within the cosmos, a framework he borrowed implicitly from the seventeenth-century Shingon monk Keichū (1640-1701) and esoteric Buddhist (mikkyō) theories of language. Through philological investigation into ancient texts, both Norinaga and Keichū believed, the profane dust that clouded (sacred, cosmic) truth could be swept away, as if by a jeweled broom.

    KCJS Salvation and Sovereignty Syllabus Salvation and Sovereignty: Buddhism and Shinto in Japanese History Seminar Spring 2020 Course Syllabus Instructor: Adam Lyons Email: [email protected] Course Time: Tuesday/Thursday, 1:10-2:40 PM Location: KCJS Classroom Instructor Office Hour: Tuesday/Thursday after class and by appointment. Course Description and Goals This course draws on the rich resources of Kyoto to consider the place of Buddhism and Shinto in Japanese history. In addition to traditional reading assignments and classroom discussion, we will conduct multiple research expeditions to museums and significant religious and cultural sites in and around Kyoto. Although there are common misconceptions that hold Buddhism to be a “world- renouncing” religion and Shinto to be a form of nature worship, this course places an emphasis on the political dimension of these traditions to pursue a more nuanced understanding of Buddhism and Shinto. We will explore how Buddhism and Shinto have been driving forces in Japanese history—with many of the most powerful institutions based right here in Kyoto. By the end of the course, students should be able to articulate the political significance of Buddhist and Shinto institutions and ideas. Students should also refine their grasp of the relationship between the social and the ideological in light of the course’s themes: kingship/cosmology, and voluntary political associations/salvation. They should ultimately gain the ability to deconstruct ahistorical representations of Buddhism and Shinto as static and monolithic, and they can also expect to cultivate a familiarity with some of the major figures, sects, and concepts of Japanese religious history.
