  • The Colonial-Wartime Background to Japan's Development Cooperation
    Background Paper No.10 Japan’s Development Cooperation: A Historical Perspective September 2020 【遺稿】 Interrogating “Comprehensive Development:” The Colonial-Wartime Background to Japan’s Development Cooperation Aaron Stephen Moore Associate Professor, Arizona State University In Memoriam: History Professor Aaron Moore (1972-2019) by Jin Sato, Professor of The University of Tokyo Dr. Aaron Moore (Arizona State University), the author of this paper, passed away in September 2019. He did not have the time to complete the revision himself, but the final touches have been offered by his dear colleagues and friends, Profs. Hiromi Mizuno (University of Minnesota) and Ian Miller (Harvard University) at the request of his bereaved family. Professor Moore was an outstanding historian of modern Japan who focused on the intersection of technology, history, and geo-political power. With his excellent command of the Japanese language, he delved into the unexplored archives of the Japanese consulting company, Nippon Koei, during his fellowship in the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia at the University of Tokyo in 2018. We publish this paper to remember his work and celebrate Dr. Aaron Moore's contribution to the scholarship on Japan’s development trajectory across Asia. アーロン・ムーア博士(1972-2019) への追悼文 ムーアさんと最初に出会ったのは、かれこれ 10 年近く前の全米アジア研究学会 (AAS)の時であった。日本の近現代の 対アジア政策についてのパネルでご一緒した。興味関心が近かったので、翌朝、ホテルで朝食をともにした。会議のとき はすべて英語であったが、朝食では流暢な日本語で話かけてきたので本当に驚いた。新世代の日本研究者の到来を感じ た。2013 年に上梓された彼の単著 Constructing East Asia: Technology, Ideology, and Empire in Japan’s

All rights reserved Recognized and compiled by ghoststalker84 ([email protected]) 1 A Basket of Fish A story in the "KONJAKU MO NOG ATARI" tells of an old peddler woman who regularly sells dried fish to an encampment of samurai. One day the swordsmen go hunting in Kitano and see her in the woods. She is carrying a large basket and a whip, and when they call out to her she starts to run away. Suspicious, they open her basket and find a chopped-up snake inside. She would whip the bushes to make snakes crawl out, then kill them and sell the meat as dried fish, the story goes. A Basket of Sushi Ayu A story from the "KONJAKU MO NOG ATARI": A PEDDLER WOMAN gets drunk and falls asleep near the gate of a house. When she wakes up, she accidentally vomits in her basket of SUSHI AYU. She is very upset, but then she simply mixes the vomit into the food. Since sushi ayu looks rather like vomit, the customers don't notice, but those who discover what she has done lose their taste for sushi ayu, the story goes. A Demonic Oil Jug A story from the "KONJAKU MO NOG ATARI": О no no Miya, the MINISTER of the Right, leaves the palace one day at noon, and as he heads down OMIYA OJI, an oil jug flies in front of his carriage.

  • Keizan's Dream History
    -44 Keizan's Dream History William M. Bodiford Keizan Jokin (1264 -1325), the author of the selections translated below, usually is remembered only as a revered patriarch of the Soto Zen tradition and as the founder of Sojiji, one of the Sot6 Zen school's dual headquarter temples Keizan, however, can also be viewed as an ordinary, indeed average, rural Buddhist monk of medieval times. He was not a great innovator, original thinker, or gifted writer. Although lacking in literary merit and philosophical profundity, Keizan's writings remain significant precisely because of their routine content. They provide a day­ to-day record of rural Zen monastic life that reveals four important aspects of Japanese religiosity that all too often are overlooked: history, dreams, ritual, and women. Keizan wrote primarily to provide himself a place in history. By recording his own history and that of the newly established S6t6 Zen lineage, Keizan sought to direct the future. Keizan knew that the precedents he recorded would dictate who gained control over which temples, which Buddhas and gods were worshipped, the calendar of ritual observances, and the mutual obligations of the temples and local lay patrons. Most major temples and shrines in Japan possess comparable historical records in which generations of worshippers found similar guidelines. Because these other records usually lack clear authorship and describe miraculous events, modem readers tend to view them as more mythological than historicaL Keizan knew no such distinction. He did not wait for pious tradition to invest his life with the miraculous but recorded his own miracles. He believed that publi­ cizing these miracles would enhance the status of his new monastery, which he named Yokoji on Tokoku Mountain, as a sacred center of the nascent Japanese Zen lineage.
