  • Tistic and Religious Aspects of Nosatsu (Senjafuda)
    ~TISTIC AND RELIGIOUS ASPECTS OF NOSATSU (SENJAFUD~ by MAYUMI TAK.ANASlU STEINMETZ A THESIS Presented to the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies and the Graduate School of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts June 1985 iii Copyright Mayumi Takanashi Steinmetz 1985 iv An Abstract of the Thesis of Mayumi Takanashi Steinmetz for the degree of Master of Arts in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies to be taken June 1985 Title: ARTISTIC AND RELIGIOUS ASPECTS OF NOSATSU (SENJAFUDA) Approved: Nosatsu is both a graphic art object and a religious object. Until very recently, scholars have ignored nosatsu because of its associations with superstition and low-class, uneducated ho.bbyists. Recently, however, a new interest in nosatsu has revived because of its connections to ukiyo-e. Early in its history, nosatsu was regarded as a means of showing devotion toward the bodhisattva.Kannon. However, during the Edo period, producing artistic nosatsu was emphasized. more than religious devotion. There was a revival of interest in nosatsu during the Meiji and Taisho periods, and its current popularity suggests a national Japanese nostalgia toward traditional Japan. Using the religious, anthropological, and art historical perspectives, this theses will examine nosatsu and the practices associated with it, discuss reasons for the changes from period to pe~iod, and explore the heritage and the changing values of the Japanese common people.

    Once in a lifetime deliciousness A little luxury Always Chiba NORI Charm and character of Edo-mae Chiba NORI What makes NORI so delicious? The crispness? The tenderness? We hear many different opinions, but above all, we believe “Flavor and fragrance” are the most Edo-mae important! Chiba NORI’s pursuit of “Flavor and (Tok yo ) (region) fragrance” mean research and efforts are being made daily for quality improvement. The high quality of the fragrance of Chiba NORI is guaranteed; and regarding the Flavor, it melts on the tongue and UMAMI taste Chiba NORI spreads throughout your mouth. Chiba prefecture Dried seaweed sheet （ ） （ ） Chiba prefecture Mascot character The key to the Flavor is the “UMAMI component” of NORI. As in Konbu (Kelp), NORI contains a rich supply of the UMAMI component of glutamine acid. Also, in the process of drying raw NORI, Inosine CHI-BA+KUN acid is said to become more abundant, and the combination of Glutamine acid and Inosine acid create an “UMAMI synergy” and an even richer Flavor is born. Strength of UMAMI UMAMI One of the points of commitment during the production of Chiba synergy NORI is “changing the nets frequently”. By the NORI fishermen spending time changing the nets, freshly sprouted NORI can be Continuing to preserve cultivated more frequently, allowing for cultivation of a higher quality and tender NORI. “Edo-region Chiba NORI” will continue to the Edo (Tokyo)-mae(region) evolve and pursue even further delicious Flavor, while appreciating the blessings of nature such as the abundant nutrients poured into tradition for 200 years Tokyo Bay from the Kanto Plain and the tranquil tidal flats suitable Inosine Glutamine Effect acid + acid = multiplied for cultivating NORI.

  • Territoriality by Folk Boundaries and Social-Geographical Conditions in Shinto-Buddhist, Catholic, and Hidden Christian Rural Communities on Hirado Island, Western Japan
    Geographical Review of Japan Series B 92(2): 51–71 (2019) Original Article The Association of Japanese Geographers Territoriality by Folk Boundaries http://www.ajg.or.jp and Social-Geographical Conditions in Shinto-Buddhist, Catholic, and Hidden Christian Rural Communities on Hirado Island, Western Japan IMAZATO Satoshi Faculty of Humanities, Kyushu University; Fukuoka 819–0395, Japan. E-mail: [email protected] Received December 10, 2018; Accepted November 24, 2019 Abstract This article explores how the sense of territoriality and various background conditions of Japanese rural communities affect the emergence of folk boundaries, which are viewed here as the contours of residents’ cognitive territory represented by religion-based symbolic markers. Specifically, I look at how the particular social-geograph- ical conditions of different communities create diverse conceptions of such boundaries, including the presence or absence of the boundaries, within the same region. Here, I focus on three Japanese villages encompassing seven local religious communities of Shinto-Buddhists, Catholics, and former Hidden Christians on Hirado Island in Kyushu. These villages are viewed respectively as examples of contrastive coexistence, degeneration, and expansion in territoriality. Among the seven religious communities, only those believing in Shinto-Buddhism, as well as Hid- den Christianity, have maintained their folk boundaries. These communities satisfy the conditions of an agglomer- ated settlement form, a size generally larger than ten households, a location isolated from other communities within the village, and strong social integration. In contrast, Catholics have not constructed such boundaries based on their historical process of settlement. However, they have influenced the forms of Shinto-Buddhists’ territoriality, although not those of Hidden Christians.

Morley for the degree of Master ofArts in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program: Asian Studies to be taken June 2009 Title: THE GODDESSES' SHRINE FAMILY: THE MUNAKATA THROUGH THE KAMAKURA ERA This thesis presents an historical study ofthe Kyushu shrine family known as the Munakata, beginning in the fourth century and ending with the onset ofJapan's medieval age in the fourteenth century. The tutelary deities ofthe Munakata Shrine are held to be the progeny ofthe Sun Goddess, the most powerful deity in the Shinto pantheon; this fact speaks to the long-standing historical relationship the Munakata enjoyed with Japan's ruling elites. Traditional tropes ofJapanese history have generally cast Kyushu as the periphery ofJapanese civilization, but in light ofrecent scholarship, this view has become untenable. Drawing upon extensive primary source material, this thesis will provide a detailed narrative ofMunakata family history while also building upon current trends in Japanese historiography that locate Kyushu within a broader East Asian cultural matrix and reveal it to be a central locus of cultural production on the Japanese archipelago.

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.
