  • The Akamon of the Kaga Mansion and Daimyō Gateway Architecture in Edo1
    AUTOR INVITADO Mirai. Estudios Japoneses ISSN-e: 1988-2378 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/MIRA.57100 Painting the town red: The Akamon of the Kaga mansion and daimyō gateway architecture in Edo1 William H. Coaldrake2 Abstract: Built in 1827 to commemorate the marriage of the daimyō Maeda Nariyasu to a daughter of the shogun Tokugawa Ienari, the Akamon or ‘Red Gateway’ of the University of Tokyo, is generally claimed to be a unique gateway because of its distinctive colour and architectural style. This article uses an inter- disciplinary methodology, drawing on architectural history, law and art history, to refute this view of the Akamon. It analyses and accounts for the architectural form of the gateway and its ancillary guard houses (bansho) by examining Tokugawa bakufu architectural regulations (oboegaki) and the depiction of daimyō gateways in doro-e and ukiyo-e. It concludes that there were close similarities between the Akamon and the gateways of high ranking daimyō in Edo. This similarity includes the red paint, which, it turns out, was not limited to shogunal bridal gateways but was in more general use by daimyō for their own gateways by the end of the Edo period. Indeed, the Akamon was called the ‘red gateway’ only from the 1880s after the many other red gateways had disappeared following the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate. The expression ‘to paint the town red’ refers not only to the way the Akamon celebrated the marriage of Yōhime, but also more broadly to characterize the way many of the other gateways at daimyō mansions in the central sectors of Edo had entrances that were decorated with bright red paint.

    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 12/18/2015 GAIN Report Number: TW15044 Taiwan Food Processing Ingredients Enter a Descriptive Report Name Approved By: Mark Ford Prepared By: Cindy Chang Report Highlights: extremely competitive, there are still great opportunities for U.S. exporters. U.S. exports of high value food products to Taiwan reached US$1.3 billion in 2014 and this trend is expected to continue for the next several years. Imports of premium food items from other countries has been increasing, but U.S. products continue to be well-accepted by Taiwan consumers due to competitive prices and consumer confidence in the quality and safety of U.S. food products. Taiwan is the United States’ seventh largest agricultural export market due in part to the great success in the food processing and ingredients sector. Post: Taipei ATO Executive Summary: SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY Taiwan Food Processing and Ingredients Sector Overview and Trends Opportunities exist to expand U.S. food product sales to Taiwan’s food processing and ingredient sector. Given Taiwan’s current size and population, the country will continue the trend of looking overseas for food processing and ingredients. In 2014, Taiwan’s agricultural industry accounts for less than 2% of GDP and only 5% of employment in Taiwan. Taiwan’s food processing and ingredients industry is comprised of the following major sectors: beverage, coffee/cocoa, condiments/seasonings, dairy products, fats/oils, flour/ bakery products, fruits/vegetables, meat/poultry products, snack foods, and sugar and confectionery.
