  • From the Japanese Traditional Edo Culture to Anime and Manga Takuji
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Kwansei Gakuin University Repository 1 Kwansei Gakuin University Social Sciences Review Vol.19, 2014 Nishinomiya, Japan Roots of Cool Japan: From the Japanese Traditional Edo Culture to Anime and Manga Takuji OKUNO Japan’s transition from making things to making tales Japanese popular culture, known as “Cool Japan,” includes animations, comics, video games, figures, and J-pops that are highly acclaimed in Europe and the United States as well as throughout Asia. From the 1970s to the 1980s, Japan gained confidence in its ability to “make things” because consumers around the world embraced its manufactured products such as electric home appliances and automobiles with open arms in preference to the products of other advanced countries. However, at the beginning of the Heisei era, the bubble in the Japanese economy suddenly burst and Japan’s gross national product (GNP) plummeted, resulting in what is termed “the burst of economic bubble of 1990.” Relatively cheaper manufactured products from other Asian countries gained precedence over Japanese products. In response, many Japanese manufacturers moved their production plants to other Asian countries, particularly settling in mainland China, where labor costs were lower than in Japan. The recession was protracted and the Japanese people suffered from a sense low confidence in their abilities to overcome the recession. By the late 1990s, Prime Ministers Mori and, subsequently, Koizumi responded to Japanese political leader Heizo Takenaka’s advocacy of an information technology (IT) revolution in Japan as a way to beat the recession.

Introduction On November 17, 2014, the news that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) added the Pacific Bluefin tuna (PBF) to its Red List of Threatened Species as “Vulnerable,” which meant that it was threatened with extinction, made headlines and received substantial TV coverage around Japan. After citing the IUCN’s comment that the species was extensively targeted by the fishing industry for the predominant sushi and sashimi markets in Asia, Mainichi Shimbun, one of the major newspapers in Japan, reported that the population was estimated to have declined by 19 to 33% over the past 22 years1. Nihon Keizai Shimbun, a leading Japanese economic newspaper, referring to the fact that the American eel was also added to the List as “Endangered,” pointed out that

I would like to thank primarily the members of my committee, Susan Napier, Patricia Maclachlan, Jordan Sand, Chris Long, and John Traphagan, who stayed with me through all the twists and turns of the project. Their significant scholarly contributions aside, I owe each of them a debt for his or her patience alone. Friends and contacts in Japan, Austin, and elsewhere gave guidance and assistance, both tangible and spiritual, as I sought to think about approaches broader than the immediate issues of the work, to make connections at various sites, and to locate materials for the research.

Among other ideas, Eastern aesthetics suggests that ordered structure contrives, that logical exposition falsifies, and that linear, consecutive argument eventually limits. As the aesthetician Itoh Teiji has stated regard­ ing the difficultiesthat Japanese experience in defin­ ing aesthetics: "Thedilemma we face is that our grasp is intuitive and perceptual rather than rational and logical:' Aesthetic enjoyment recognizes artistic pat­ terns, but such patterns cannot be too rigid or too circumscribed. Most likely to succeed in definingJapanese aes­ thetics is a net of associations composed of listings or jottings, connected intuitively, that fills in a back­ ground and renders the subject visible.

  • Unzen-Amakusa National Park Became One of Japan’S First National Parks
    Revive your zest for life in this refreshing retreat above the clouds Unzen-Amakusa In 1934, Unzen-Amakusa National Park became one of Japan’s first national parks. At the time of its 19 designation, it was comprised only of the Unzen area and known as Unzen National Park, however, in 1956 the Amakusa area was added. The park boasts spectacular landscapes, from the steam wafting from Mt. National Park Unzen to the seascapes of Amakusa which interweave islands and sea. The Unzen area is comprised of the mountainous region of the Shimabara Peninsula which consists of the Unzen volcanic group, including Mt. Fugen. From the many high vantage points there are excellent panoramic views with the sea stretching into the distance on three sides. The park tells the story of the dynamic origins of the earth and the resulting bounty of the land, and as such, Unzen Volcanic Area Global Geopark has been established on the Shimabara Peninsula, with the area within the national park as its core. The Amakusa area is an archipelago made up of 120 islands of varying sizes with diverse shorelines and seas inhabited by coral. At the heart of the Unzen area is Unzen Onsen Hot Springs, which has welcomed travelers and people of faith since ancient times to relax in its healing waters. Home to gods, Shugendo mountain asceticism, hot springs and seasonal vegetation, the mountains of佐賀県 Unzen brim with wonder. Heal your body in the hot springs gushing forth from the earth and awaken at dawn to birdsong. The majestic scenery and invigorating experiences offered by the park make this one of Japan’s original nature resorts.
