  • “The Pacific Era Has Arrived”: Transnational Education Among Japanese Americans, 1932-1941
    “The Pacific Era Has Arrived”: Transnational Education among Japanese Americans, 1932-1941 Eiichiro Az uma Looking back on the two years at Keisen Girls’ School, I am so grateful for the opportunity to have been able to study here. Our teachers have taught us that it was mistaken if we simply aspired to mimic the ways ofJapanese woman. Cognizant of our special position as Americans of Japanese ancestry, we must instead strive to promote the U.S.-Japan friendship. Furthermore, we must adapt the merits of the Japanese spirit [that we have acquired here] to our Amer- icanism. Back in the United States, we will dedicate ourselves to the good of our own society as best possible citizens, cooperating with Americans of other races and learning from each other. Such is the mission of the Nisei as a bridge between Japan and the United States-one that we have come to appre- ciate [through our schooling in Japan].’ Just about two years before Pearl Harbor, a young Japanese American woman took this pledge to herself when she completed a special study pro- gram in Tokyo, Japan. Although the shadow of war loomed increasingly over the Pacific, thousands of American-born Japanese (Nisei) youth like her flocked to their parents’ native land during the 1930s to pursue cultural and language learning, as well as formal secondary and higher education. In any given year following 1932, an estimated 1,500 young Nisei students from North America resided in Tokyo and other urban areas of Japan.’ Eiichiro Azuma is Assistant Professor in the department of history, University of Pennsylva- nia.

  • Tsugaru Shamisen and Modern Japanese Identity
    TSUGARU SHAMISEN AND MODERN JAPANESE IDENTITY GERALD T. McGOLDRICK A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MARCH 2017 © Gerry McGoldrick, 2017 ABSTRACT The shamisen, a Japanese plucked lute dating back to the seventeenth century, began to be played by blind itinerant male performers known as bosama in the late nineteenth century in the Tsugaru region, part of present-day Aomori prefecture in northern Japan. By the early twentieth century it was used by sighted players to accompany local folk songs, and from the 1940s entirely instrumental versions of a few of the folk songs were being performed. In the late 1950s the term Tsugaru shamisen was coined and the genre began to get national attention. This culminated in a revival in the 1970s centred on Takahashi Chikuzan, who had made a living as a bosama in the prewar period. In the wake of the 70s boom a contest began to be held annually in Hirosaki, the cultural capital of the Tsugaru region. This contest nurtured a new generation of young players from all over Japan, eventually spawning other national contests in every corner of the country. Chikuzan’s death in 1998 was widely reported in the media, and Yoshida Ryōichirō and Yoshida Kenichi, brothers who had stood out at the contests, were cast as the new face of Tsugaru shamisen. From about 2000 a new Tsugaru shamisen revival was under way, and the music could be heard as background music on Television programs and commercials representing a modern Japan that had not lost its traditions.

När det var jag som började vara ansvarig för uppdateringarna. Det allra tidigaste beviset jag kan finna på en lista som det med hundraprocentig säkerhet var jag som stod för är från december 2014. Så jag har inte riktigt gjort det i ett decennium än. Men jag är rätt säker på att det här är den absolut största uppdateringen jag har gjort. I alla fall är det, utan minsta tvivel, den största uppdateringen på så här kort tid, eftersom det inte ens var två månader sedan den förra listan. Vi hade nämligen förra månaden ett litet event. En karaokemakartävling som löpte över fyra veckor. Summa summarum: Över hundra nya låtar i listan. Plus ett gäng uppdaterade versioner av sånt vi redan hade. Själv har jag se’n sist i princip bara gjort One Piece och Nichijou-låtar, så där finns det diverse nytt att hämta. Högst takt höll Nea, som dessutom fokuserade mycket på nyare populära serier.

  • A Study of Transmission in the Shakuhachi Honkyoku Tradition
    YEARNING FOR THE BELL: A STUDY OF TRANSMISSION IN THE SHAKUHACHI HONKYOKU TRADITION RILEY KELLY LEE ABSTRACT This thesis looks at past and present processes of transmission within the tradition of the shakuhachi honkyoku (尺八本曲, shakuhachi ‘original pieces’). The shakuhachi, an end-blown bamboo flute, has existed in Japan since the eighth century. Since at least the fifteenth century, it has been used as a tool for spirituality, and has been particularly associated with Zen Buddhism. The honkyoku were composed, performed and transmitted within that spiritual context, especially during the Edo period (1600- 1868) by mendicant priests called komusô (虚無僧, ‘priests of nothingness’). An understanding of the nature of the honkyoku was expressed in such concepts as honnin no kyoku (本人の曲, ‘one’s own piece’), zettai no ma (絶対の間, ‘absolute timing’), tettei on (徹底音) and ichi on jôbutsu (一音成仏, ‘one sound becoming Buddhahood’). A piece-specific genealogy chart for the honkyoku “Reibo” (鈴慕) of the Ôshû lineage (奥州系) is presented, which relies upon written and anecdotal material to trace two main lines of transmission. These lines transmit honkyoku which have become known as “Futaiken reibo” (布袋軒鈴慕, ‘“Reibo” of the Futai temple’) and “Shôganken reibo” (松巌軒鈴慕, ‘“Reibo” of the Shôgan temple’). A comparative analysis of transcriptions of ten performances of these “Reibo” pieces by six shakuhachi players representing these two lines of transmission shows a high degree of variability and a number of patterns of similarities and differences. These patterns demonstrate the oral nature of the transmission, and allude to the process-oriented “essence” of the honkyoku tradition. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research and writing of this thesis was supported by a University Postgraduate Scholarship from the University of Sydney.

This paper started with the historical conflict of marriage and feminism, then researched the connection between anime and gender- role. Since Japanese anime was imported to China in 1980s, it has influenced the generation born in 1980s and 1990s in many aspects of their growth. These well-educated people perceived the Japanese culture and values through anime. This study connected gender stereotypes and marriage, and how Chinese well-educated anime fans interpret the gender-role portrayals from anime. Eight well-educated young people born in 1980s and 1990s participated in this study through semi-structured online interviews. This study not only tested their standard of choosing spouses, but also employed a qualitative method with cultivation theory. Furthermore, it introduced a new perspective of comparisons between females’ and males’ opinions of feminism. The result of this study has shown anime has a strong cultivation for participants’ recognition of both genders; Males and females have different views of the choice of work and marriage and the mismatch of male’s and female’s standards of choosing spouses.

When I was the one who became responsible for updating them. The absolute earliest proof I can find of a list that with complete certainty was made by me is from December 2014. So I haven’t quite been doing this for a full decade yet. But I’m fairly sure that this is the absolute biggest update that I’ve ever made. In any case it is, without any shadow of a doubt, the biggest update in this short a span of time, since it hasn’t even been two months since the last list. You see, last month we had a bit of an event. A karaoke maker contest that ran over four weeks. In total: Over a hundred new songs in the list. Plus a bunch of updated versions of songs that we already had. Personally I’ve basically only made One Piece and Nichijou songs since last time, so there’s a selection of new stuff to find from theose.
