  • MONUMENT of HISTORY in JAPAN OR COGNITIVE SYNERGY of PLACES, LANDSCAPES, ARTS and CRAFTS, TRADITIONS and CUSTOMS a Trip to the Innermost Essence of Japan1
    Protection of cultural heritage 7 (2019) 10.35784/odk.65 MONUMENT OF HISTORY IN JAPAN OR COGNITIVE SYNERGY OF PLACES, LANDSCAPES, ARTS AND CRAFTS, TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS A trip to the innermost essence of Japan1 AFFELT Waldemar J. 1 1 Waldemar J. Affelt, Gdańsk University of Technology, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3274-5210 ABSTRACT: The Japanese Cultural Agency is implementing the JAPAN HERITAGE project, which will result in a hundred thematic narratives on historical monuments. The applicant and beneficiary is a rural or urban municipality, but the nomination procedure also includes the Prefecture Office. It is stressed that this initiative does not compete with the UNESCO World Heritage List, nor does it introduce a new category of monument, so that there is no need to amend the Act of 30 May 1950 on the Protection of Cultural Property. Strategically, the project aims at social revitalisation by strengthening the sense of identity and intensifying domestic and foreign tourism. Every JAPAN HERITAGE narrative is a branded tourist product, and the tangible and intangible cultural property under legal protection illustrated by it are located in one municipality in the local category, or in many municipalities in a given prefecture, or even in several prefectures - in the collective category. The essence of the project is discussed using the example of narrative 019 'Date Culture initiated by Masamune'. KEY WORDS: Japan Heritage, tangible and intangible cultural property, Masamune Date Introduction The issue of the protection of historical monuments in Japan is regulated by Act No. 214 of 30 May 1950, last amended on 30 March 20072.

  • Shogun and Samurai
    ＾ Shogun and Samurai Tales of Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu by Okanoya Shigezane (1835-1919) Translated and Edited by Andrew and Yoshiko Dykstra 2 Shogun and Warlords Tales of Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu Contents Acknowledgement The background of the work Story titles The translation Appendix 1. Map of the Old Provinces of Japan 2. Map of the Modern Prefectures of Japan Selected Bibliography 3 Acknowledgement We appreciate our friends, including Professor Paul Varley of the University of Hawaii, Professor George Hlawatsch, and Professor Richard Swingle of the Kansaigaidai University, who read our translations and gave us many precious suggestions. The translation is based on the texts appearing in Meishôgenkôroku by Okanoya Shigezane (1835-1919), Iwanami Shoten, Tokyo, 1943. In translation, we placed family names first in the Japanese style. All the story titles and the information in the brackets and parentheses are supplied by the translators. Diacritics are deleted in popular place-names including Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Kanto, Honshu, Kyushu. The glossary contains main terms related to the stories. For dates and years, the Gregorian calendar is used in place of the old Japanese way of calculation, as in 1596 for the first year of Keichô. Most of the illustrations come from the Ehon Taikôki written by Takeuchi Kakusai and illustrated by Okada Gyokusan (1797-1802) but was banned in 1804. The translators, Andrew H. Dykstra was Provost Emeritus of the Kansaigaidai Hawaii College, Hawaii, and Yoshiko K. Dykstra, Professor of the Kansaigaidai University, Osaka, Japan 4 The Background of the work and the author ”I will kill the cuckoo if it does not sing,” said Nobunaga.

  • FY19-Facility-List-Disclosure
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney‐branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,300 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney‐branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, nongovernmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney‐branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.
