  • From the Nisshin to the Musashi the Military Career of Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku by Tal Tovy
    Asia: Biographies and Personal Stories, Part II From the Nisshin to the Musashi The Military Career of Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku By Tal Tovy Detail from Shugaku Homma’s painting of Yamamoto, 1943. Source: Wikipedia at http://tinyurl.com/nowc5hg. n the morning of December 7, 1941, Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) aircraft set out on one of the most famous operations in military Ohistory: a surprise air attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawai`i. The attack was devised and fashioned by Admiral Yamamoto, whose entire military career seems to have been leading to this very moment. Yamamoto was a naval officer who appreciated and under- stood the strategic and technological advantages of naval aviation. This essay will explore Yamamoto’s military career in the context of Imperial Japan’s aggressive expansion into Asia beginning in the 1890s and abruptly ending with Japan’s formal surrender on September 2, 1945, to the US and its Allies. Portrait of Yamamoto just prior to the Russo- Japanese War, 1905. Early Career (1904–1922) Source: World War II Database Yamamoto Isoroku was born in 1884 to a samurai family. Early in life, the boy, thanks to at http://tinyurl.com/q2au6z5. missionaries, was exposed to American and Western culture. In 1901, he passed the Impe- rial Naval Academy entrance exams with the objective of becoming a naval officer. Yamamoto genuinely respected the West—an attitude not shared by his academy peers. The IJN was significantly influenced by the British Royal Navy (RN), but for utilitarian reasons: mastery of technology, strategy, and tactics.

  • Yїan Udagawa — a Pioneer Scientist of Early 19Th Century
    Yoan Udagawa —A Pioneer Scientist of Early 19th Century Feudalistic Japan— Tatsumasa Doke* Preface Until now the only biographical studies on Yoan Udagawa (1798-1846)^ are a booklet^ written by Yoshiaki Yoshikawa(1933) and a treatise® written by Goichi Fujinami (1936). Though their publication date is fairly old, these two works have not yet been superseded by any biography of a later date with a broader view of Yoan's life. They have laid a valuable foundation in this specific field even if they have made limited use of historical materials and documents. In the 1930's, the man who had particularly large collection of books and manuscripts by Yoan was, besides Goichi Fujinami, Chibiki Okamura a scholar whose possessions included ''UDAGAWA Yd AN Jijo Nenpu''^ (Chronological Autobiography of Yoan Udagawa) which no doubt gives us the best although simple version of his life history. There are two versions of the original of this valuable material, both written in Chinese on 8-9 sheets of common Japanese paper. Okamura put them in order, added the correct punctuation to the text, and published it as a supplement to his book "Komo Bunka Shiwa'' (A Cultural History of Western People). * Tokyo Institute of Technology. 1 (SIS).

Today, RIKEN is a major international institute conducting research in a wide area of natural science including nuclear physics, material science, green chemistry, brain science, developmental biology, plant science, genomics, immunology, medicine, computer and computational science, artificial intelligence, and mathematics, with facilities both in Japan and overseas, and a staff of more than 3,000 people. However, there is a long history behind this development. This book provides both a record of the people who founded and helped RIKEN prosper, as well as insights into some of the important discoveries that were made during its first century. The bulk of the work on the English version was done in the autumn and winter of 2018, based on the monu- mental three-volume, 1,500-page Japanese history that was written for the Centennial in 2017.

  • I\Iethodi§L Missionary Graves in Japan
    I\iethodi§l Missionary Graves in Japan by John W. Krummel The equinoxes in Japan are occasions for visiting graves. Families clean the tombstones; make offerings of flowers, in­ cense, food and drink; and may even themselves enjoy a quiet picnic lunch at the gravesite while remembering their deceased. rm often dravvll to Aoyama Cemetery near our home in Tokyo at such times remembering the many lonely missionary graves there. I usually stop first at the vault marked "Interboard Committee for Christian Work in Japan"! which was erected after the Second World War to house the ashes of missionaries from North American churches working in cooperation with the United Church of Christ in Japan (Kyodan). Among the few names engraved on the stone is that of Olive Ireland Hodges (1877-1964), the only missionary of Methodist Protestant background to die in Japan. She once heard James,Ballagh, a pioneer Reformed Church missionary and one of the patriarchs of the Protestant movement in Japan in his later years, remark that Christianity would never take root in this nation until more missionary bones had been planted in its soil. Although his wife is buried in Japan he himself did not have that 'privilege. However, his words left an impression on Miss Hodges. After her arrival in1902 she devoted most of her life to the develop­ ment of the Methodist Protestant girls' school, now known as .Seibi Gakuen, in Yokohama. Interned during the first part of the Second World War and repatriated in 1943, she returned to Japan after the war and lived here in retirement until her death.

  • World War Two. 192
    1 THE END OF THE CIVILIAN IN TWENTIETH CENTURY WARFARE: WORLD WAR TWO A Master’s Thesis By Joyce E. Jackson To The Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of the Arts in the field of History Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts April 2012 2 THE END OF THE CIVILIAN IN TWENTIETH CENTURY WARFARE: WORLD WAR TWO By Joyce E. Jackson ABSTRACT OF THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of the Arts in History in the Graduate School of Northeastern University, April 2012 3 ABSTRACT This research paper discusses the role of the civilian in twentieth century warfare, using World War Two as a framework. The goal is to compel the reader to re-examine the idealized conceptualization of the nature and status of the civilian in war by using real-life examples. Five case studies dealing with concentration camps in the United States, medical experimentation by the Japanese in China, rape warfare used by the Soviets in Germany, strategic and incendiary bombing of Japan by the United States, and the mobilization of the civilians as labor for war in Great Britain show that the civilian is not exempt from being specifically targeted in war or waging war themselves through means other than combat. All of these studies selected represent events that could be observed occurring in other places with other armies and civilian populations. Looking at these experiences and attempting to reconcile them with the humanitarian, popular, and legal concepts of the civilian forces one to question whether the construct is realistic.
