Today, automobile manufacturers are expected regulations year by year India not only to make continuous efforts to eliminate harmful substances from China exhaust gas in order to prevent air pollution, but to also minimize the Canada emission of carbon dioxide, which is a principal greenhouse effect gas.

When a correction is applied by a simple calculation to account for a fuel consumption measurement mode, taking into account deregulation measures and differences in vehicle types, the fuel standard for the EU becomes 21.1 km/L (2021 reference value is calculated by METI), and for the U.S. it becomes 16.5 km/L (2020 reference value calculated by METI). The 2010-2015 values for Japan have been added by METI (they are reference values, as the measurement mode differs from 2015).

For over a thousand years sumo tournaments were exclusively held by Japanese men, and up until the 1960s foreigners were almost unheard of in the professional sumo scene. As the world’s modernization and internationalization accelerated so did foreign interest in the National sport of sumo. Today the sport has spread to over 87 countries which have joined the International Sumo Federation. With an interest in professional sumo in Japan at an all-time low and with fewer wrestlers applying to stables than ever before, viewers of tournaments and media coverage of events has been decreasing, which is closely followed by western originated sports having overtaken sumo in popularity e.g. soccer and baseball. Yet the interest in sumo on an international scale has increased considerably. In which way has this rising internationalization affected the sumo world and the professional sumo world and how is it reflected in modern Japanese society, in what way did the wrestlers coming from overseas experience the sumo culture compared to how it is today? Today the sumo scene is largely dominated by Mongolian wrestlers, how did this come to pass and how has the society of Japan reacted to these changes.

    CULTURE Today’s Sumo Wrestlers Lack Spirit — Possibility of the advent of Japanese yokozuna Interview with Hakkaku Nobuyoshi, Chairman of Nihon Sumo Kyokai and former sumo wrestler Hokutoumi by Nagayama Satoshi, ex-journalist for Yomiuri Ozumo Whether you are Japanese or Mongolian does not matter in sumo Nagayama Satoshi: You were reappointed as the chairman of Nihon Sumo Kyokai in March. Around six months have passed since your initial appointment on December 18 last year. How do you feel now? Hakkaku Nobuyoshi : I have settled into the position. The outside directors helped me a lot, and I have undertaken my job by trial and error. As a result, I’m gradually becoming more confident. I have had a hectic time since Kitanoumi, the previous chairman, passed away. I have refrained from drinking for a year. Very recently, I have played the occasional round of golf. The Grand Sumo Tournament is very popular, with every date fully booked. Sumo fans still want a Japanese yokozuna. Personally, I believe that someone is a sumo wrestler as soon as he starts his career, whether he is Japanese or Mongolian. In reality, many sumo fans often tell me that they want a Japanese yokozuna. What do you want young Japanese sumo wrestlers to do to become a yokozuma? Hakkaku Nobuyoshi, Chairman of Nihon Sumo Kyokai and former sumo wrestler Hokutoumi I think that many of them have already given up any © CHUO KORON SHINSHA 2016 hope of beating Hakuho or being as strong as him.

    BASHO FURY SUMO GAME RULES ©2016 Sideline Strategy Games INTRODUCTION The sport of Sumo has long been a fascination of mine. I can’t explain what draws me to the sport, but the intensity and ferocity of a Sumo match is unparalleled in any other sport. I was compelled to bring Sumo onto my tabletop in a game that plays as quickly as the actual matches and produces accurate results. The culmination of these efforts is the game you currently hold in your hands. Throughout the remainder of this instruction book, you will encounter several Sumo specific names and terms. Rather than provide a glossary of terms at the end, a “translation” will follow these words in ( ). A Sumo Primer is included. This serves as an introduction to this fascinating and lightning fast paced sport. If you are not familiar with the sport of Sumo, it may be beneficial to review the primer first and then have it handy as you read through the rules.

    Incorporating Heritage Park Design and Cultural Assets the Case of the Sado Mines Heritage Sites

    Incorporating heritage park design and cultural assets The case of the Sado Mines Heritage Sites. Koichiro Sakitani* * EAU, ltd, [email protected] Thinking in recent years in relation to cultural assets in Japan has primarily focused on the preservation, repair, or restoration of designated and select cultural assets. Meanwhile the design of the environment surrounding such assets has, apart from some exceptions, not always been made with such an environment in mind. While the technology and know-how in relation to the preservation and maintenance of cultural assets themselves have continued to progress, the environment around such assets and their related infrastructure lacks a comprehensive, overall system of control. As a consequence, more often than not there has been an absence of space cohesiveness, consistency in concept, and quality in aspects of space design. This paper shall consider both illustrative and actual reports on public-area design surrounding cultural assets nominated by Sado City in Niigata Prefecture for registry as world heritage sites, taking into consideration the background to projects, the course of developments, the design process, important points in the design arrangements for areas around the assets, issues related to the environmental design around the assets, and future developments. Key Words: World Heritage Site, Urban planning, Former Sado Mine, Cultural Assets, Excavation research, Design for Public spaces. 1. Introduction For many towns and regions facing the issues of population decline, aging societies and economic stagnation, tourism may provide an answer. The 21st century is said to be the age of tourism. In the 1980s, Japan’s official tourism policy promoted traditional culture and historical areas, typified in the establishment of Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings.
