The Holiday Faire Vendor Slideshow THE JUNIORLEA 1GUEOF ~SAN FRANCISCO Mission Statement: The Junior League of San Francisco, Inc. (JLSF) is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. FocusArea: Every 5-7 years, members of the JLSF vote to determine the focus area that guides our direction and decision-making with regard to financial and volunteer resources. Our current focus area is advancing the social and emotional well­ being of youth and elderly in San Francisco. Vision: Since its inception in 1911, the JLSF has provided the community with an estimated six million volunteer hours and more than $24 million through direct community grants, advocacy, and membership training and development. As a problem surfaces within the community, the JLSF is frequently the first organization to recognize and address the issue, providing volunteer energy, financial assistance, and public support. Often in collaboration with other community groups and/or the public sector, the JLSF designs and launches a program, then works to achieve community impact and measurable results. • nnua a1re This event was supposed to be a night of shopping and sipping among friends - a festive way to support local makers while raising vital funds for the League's community partners. There would have been decorations, music, hors d'oeuvres, and a huddle of volunteers exhaustedly drinking it all in. Lots of things were supposed to happen this year, but we've spent 2020 modifying, maneuvering, pivoting, recalibrating. The buzzwords are endless, but they all amount to change. Strange, uncomfortable, wild change. Which is why we're so proud to present a taste of the familiar ... with a twist. By trading hosting duties for hyperlinks and decor for dotcoms, we've tapped into unlimited fundraising potential at a time when our community needs us most. In years past, the constraints of a physical venue meant we were limited to featuring just two-dozen vendors. Now, by going virtual, we're able to shine a light on 61 (yes, 6-1 !) phenomenal merchants, all generously donating 15% of their sales to support the League's mission (more about that on the next page). It would've been delightful to gather and celebrate the many months of hard work and creativity that got us here. We look forward to sharing that moment with all of you someday. In the meantime, we hope you'll invite friends and loved ones (near and far) to join you in supporting this year's Faire - because amidst all the change, the simple act of holiday shopping still has the power to change lives. As we finally pause to drink it all in, know that we're wishing you and yours health, safety and joy in the year ahead. The 20-21 Special Events Committee 1.

In order to combat the unpleasant odors emanating from open sewers, insufficiently bathed neighbors, and, from time to time, the bodies of plague victims, a variety of perfumed goods such as fans, handkerchiefs, gloves, and “sweet bags” were available for purchase. The tradition of offering embroidered sweet bags containing gifts of small scented objects, herbs, or money began in the mid-sixteenth century. Typically, they are about five inches square with a drawstring closure at the top and two to three covered drops at the bottom. Economical housewives could even create their own perfumed mixtures to put inside. A 1621 recipe “to make sweete bags with little cost” reads: Take the buttons of Roses dryed and watered with Rosewater three or foure times put them Muske powder of cloves Sinamon and a little mace mingle the roses and them together and putt them in little bags of Linnen with Powder. The present object has recently been identified as a rare surviving example of a large-format sweet bag, sometimes referred to as a “sachet.” Lined with blue silk taffeta, the verso of the central canvas section contains two flat slit pockets, opening on the long side, into which sprigs of herbs or sachets filled with perfumed powders could be slipped to scent a wardrobe or chest.

  • Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre
    Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre Thomas Gaubatz Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Thomas Gaubatz All rights reserved ABSTRACT Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre Thomas Gaubatz This dissertation examines the ways in which the narrative fiction of early modern (1600- 1868) Japan constructed urban identity and explored its possibilities. I orient my study around the social category of chōnin (“townsman” or “urban commoner”)—one of the central categories of the early modern system of administration by status group (mibun)—but my concerns are equally with the diversity that this term often tends to obscure: tensions and stratifications within the category of chōnin itself, career trajectories that straddle its boundaries, performative forms of urban culture that circulate between commoner and warrior society, and the possibility (and occasional necessity) of movement between chōnin society and the urban poor. Examining a range of genres from the late 17th to early 19th century, I argue that popular fiction responded to ambiguities, contradictions, and tensions within urban society, acting as a discursive space where the boundaries of chōnin identity could be playfully probed, challenged, and reconfigured, and new or alternative social roles could be articulated. The emergence of the chōnin is one of the central themes in the sociocultural history of early modern Japan, and modern scholars have frequently characterized the literature this period as “the literature of the chōnin.” But such approaches, which are largely determined by Western models of sociocultural history, fail to apprehend the local specificity and complexity of status group as a form of social organization: the chōnin, standing in for the Western bourgeoisie, become a unified and monolithic social body defined primarily in terms of politicized opposition to the ruling warrior class.

Yet these smaller, simpler, indigenous vehicles are virtually unknown outside China. The CRV industry is unusual in that it evolved largely outside the control of government regulation and policy, using local technology and resources.

Interdisciplinary in approach, the series highlights the dialogue between identity and dress, cosmetics, coiffure and body alter- nations as manifested in practices as varied as plastic surgery, tattooing, and ritual scarification. The series aims, in particular, to analyze the meaning of dress in relation to popular culture and gender issues and will include works grounded in anthropology, sociology, history, art history, literature, and folklore.

  • MORNING FOG (Correspondence on Gay Lifestyles)
    V Minskota Kumsgusu (1867-1941) & Iwatq Jun'ichi (1900-1945) MORNING FOG (Correspondence on Gay Lifestyles) Translated by William F. Sibley Introduction The correspondence between Minakata Kumagusu (1867-1941) and Iwata Jun'ichi (1900-1945) from which the following five letters have been ex- cerpted began in 1931 and extended to the year of Minakata's death ten years later. These selections all date from the first few months of the cor- respondence, which eventually ran to 120 letters. I have chosen them rather than some later letters because it is here that the correspondents seek both to define the terms of their divergent approaches to the history of homosex- ualities in Japan and, through a somewhat lopsided dialogue on central principles, to find common ground. Iwata expresses himself deferentially to the much older man (though not without some pointed questions in the Ietter of 8/27 /31) while Minakata, in keeping with his age and his great ac- complishments, maintains a stern, often schoolmasterish tone where guid- ing principles are concerned. Although Minakata's letters did not first appear until 1951 and Iwata's only in 1991, this correspondence that began 64 years ago marks in a real sense the beginnings-to be sure, in mutually pledged privacy-of a mod- ern Japanese discourse on, not simply the history of homosexualities (some work had been published in this area, particularly with respect to Toku- gawa literature), but basic theories, methodological, MINAKATA Kumagusu, at the age of ethical, and existen- fifty-five, in 1922 tial, about what male homosexualities have been in the past in Japan, were at the time of writing, could be and should be.

  • Hagakure: Book of the Samurai
    Hagakure: Book of the Samurai CHAPTER 1 Although it stands to reason that a samurai should be mindful of the Way of the Samurai, it would seem that we are all negligent. Consequently, if someone were to ask, "What is the true meaning of the Way of the Samurai?" the person who would be able to answer promptly is rare. This is because it has not been established in one's mind beforehand. From this, one's unmindfulness of the Way can be known. Negligence is an extreme thing. The Way of the Samurai is found in death. When it comes to either/or, there is only the quick choice of death. It is not particularly difficult. Be determined and advance. To say that dying without reaching one's aim is to die a dog's death is the frivolous way of sophisticates. When pressed with the choice of life or death, it is not necessary to gain one's aim. We all want to live. And in large part we make our logic according to what we like. But not having attained our aim and continuing to live is cowardice. This is a thin dangerous line. To die without gaming one's aim is a dog's death and fanaticism. But there is no shame in this. This is the substance of the Way of the Samurai. If by setting one's heart right every morning and evening, one is able to live as though his body were already dead, he pains freedom in the Way. His whole life will be without blame, and he will succeed in his calling.

    Re-Fashioning Kimono: How to Make ‘Traditional’ Clothes for Postmodern Japan JENNY HALL Monash University ABSTRACT It is diffi cult to ride a bicycle or drive a car while wearing a kimono. Kimono are not considered suitable for contemporary life in Japan, and because of this, there is a pervading view that the Japanese traditional textile industry is in decline. However, Japanese designers and consumers are redefi ning Japanese clothing (wafuku) while retaining its ‘traditional’ image. Th is project investigates how the contemporary reinvention of Japanese clothing embodies the process by which tradition and modernity interact, and helps us understand how new designs are a vehicle for designers’ and consumers’ expressions of Japanese culture.

Aft er I repeated this statement at an academic conference on material culture, an American colleague contested this view, stating that she oft en wore kimono and rode a bicycle.
