  • 'Big in Japan'
    ‘Big in Japan’ With Japan now on everyone’s lips as the host country for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, and with our own Springboks through to the finals – go Bokke, go! – we thought Erika Dignas’ recent visit to the home of the Brave Blossoms to be an appropriate topic. The Japanese people’s love for rugby certainly impressed her. And yes, she did indeed visit Yokohama where she witnessed the game between the Irish and the Scots … and where the grand finale is scheduled to take place this weekend. But what follows is her account of a much wider range of experiences. Japan, the land of the rising sun, cherry blossoms and matcha tea … What started as a childhood dream of my youngest daughter soon became a dream of my own: to visit Japan. After two years of serious saving the dream finally came true. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined how much Japan would change my life and my mindset. I fell head over heels in love with Japan, the people and the culture. Tokyo The first destination will be my favourite place forever. From the moment I put my feet down in Tokyo, everything was different: new sights, smells, tastes, sounds, textures and beautiful people. This is a city between old and modern. I went to a public onsen, a unique treat which although totally new to me, was relaxing as well as refreshing to body and soul. I visited the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building with its breathtaking views, then on to the iconic Tsukiji Outer Fish Market, the Senso-Ji Temple, Akihabara (Japan’s electric town), the Tokyo Imperial Palace, Nijubashi Bridge and the Imperial Palace Gardens.

    TOKYO Top 50 Tourist Attractions 1. IDEMITSU MUSEUM OF ARTS The Idemitsu Museum of Arts is an exhibition of the Idemitsu collection of Japanese painting and calligraphy and Eastern Asian ceramic art. The building is designed to give the visitor a sense of the Japanese traditional spirit of wel- come, and visitors are able to enjoy the art dis- played in a comfortable and relaxed setting. The museum offers a mix of permanent and temporary exhibitions, with works selected from the Idemitsu collection, but also offering a view of other major art such as works by Edvard Munch that are currently on long-term loan. Generally, though, the most awesome part of the exhibition for westerners is the beautifully crafted calligraphy, and while you may have seen photographs nothing will prepare you for the sheer beauty of the real thing. 03-5777-8600 3-1-1 MARUNOUCHI, CHIYODA-KU, TOKYO 100-0005 Station [Yūrakuchō] ▪ WWW.IDEMITSU.CO.JP WWW.NAOMI.ABE.PLUS WWW.NAOMI.ABE.PLUS TOKYO Top 50 Tourist Attractions 2.

  • Japanese Culture the Intersection of Tradition and Modernity
    Brian Hoffert (History/Religious Studies) North Central College Fukumi Matsubara (Japanese) Spring/May, 2020 Japanese Culture The Intersection of Tradition and Modernity CARD 260/261 What is the role of tradition in a world of ultra-modern cities, super-fast transportation, instantaneous global communication, and futuristic technology? This course will explore the relationship between Japan’s past and present by examining its efforts to embrace modernity while remaining distinctly “Japanese.” After exploring the relationship between tradition and modernity in the classroom, we will experience the synthesis of traditional and modern culture by visiting various cultural sites in and around Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Hiroshima and the Kii Peninsula. Learning Outcomes Through a combination of readings, lectures, class discussions, and their actual experiences in Japan, students will acquire: 1. a framework for exploring the concept of cultural identity. 2. a general understanding of Japanese history with a particular focus on the historical factors that contributed to the development of modern Japanese identity. 3. perspectives and skills that promote cultural exploration and intercultural understanding.
