MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained.

Myriad factors including social, political, environmental and economic aspects of human security depend upon the sustainable and comprehensive governance and management of these areas. Inaugurated in 2002-2003, the UNITAR Series on Sea and Human Security examines, from a comprehensive point of view, the concept of human security as it pertains to seas and the ocean. Begun in 2002 with an International Conference1, the UNITAR Series on Sea and Human Security has from its beginnings been focused on mainstreaming the importance of a comprehensive approach to the economic, political, environmental and nutritional aspects of human security as it pertains to seas and the ocean.

Bestor Department of Anthropology and East Asian Institute Columbia University Introduction As an anthropologist specializing in Japanese studies, I am often struck by the uncharacteristic willingness of economists to consider cultural and social factors in their analyses of Japan. Probably the economic system of no society is subject to as much scrutiny, analysis, and sheer speculation regarding its 'special character' as is Japan's. Put another way, emphasis on the special qualities of the Japanese economy suggests a recognition -- implicit or explicit -- that cultural values and social patterns condition economic systems. It remains an open question whether this recognition reflects empirical reality (e.g., perhaps the Japanese economic system is less autonomous than those in other societies) or is an artifact of interpretative conventions (e.g., perhaps both Western and Japanese observers are willing -- if at times antagonistic - partners in ascribing radical 'otherness' to the Japanese economy and therefore are more likely to accord explanatory power to factors that might otherwise be considered exogenous.) Recognition, however, that Japanese economic behavior and institutions are intertwined with and embedded within systems of cultural values and social structural relationships does not imply unanimity of opinion about the significance of this fact.

    THE PHILIPPINE FISHERIES SYSTEM: A MANAGEMENT PLANNING PERSPECTIVE by RAMYLEO T. PELAYO Special Project Report in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Marine Resources Management Program College of Oceanography Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon 1983 For Lilia and Janice ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My study grant for a masteral program in Marine Resources Management (MRM) came from the Philippine Governments agricul- tural loan project with the United States Government. I am therefore thankful to the officials and staffs of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the projects coor- dinating agencies for their respective governments, and the Phil- ippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Deve- lopment (PCARRD), the agency I work for.

In the end, I appreciate the favorable appraisal of my graduate committee: Dr. Victor T. Neal, MRM Program Coordinator and project adviser; Prof. Robert Schoning of the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife; and Dr. William Pearcy of the College of Oceanography. Among my professors, I should thank Dr. Charles Warren for providing me with a fresh lens for viewing resource science and management.

  • Opportunities for Sustainable Fisheries in Japan
    OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES IN JAPAN O2 REPORT: OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES IN JAPAN JANUARY 2016 THIS REPORT OFFERS PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO HELP RESTORE FISHERIES AND COASTAL FISHING COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE JAPANESE ARCHIPELAGO © Ana Chang 2 CONTENT Introduction/Summary 4 State of Japanese Fisheries 5 The Japanese Seafood Supply Chain 8 Seafood Supply Chain - Upstream 8 Seafood Supply Chain - Downstream 9 Seafood Imports/Exports 11 Species in Focus: Tuna Supply Chain 12 Policy/Management 14 Sustainable Seafood in Japan 17 Survey of Japanese Consumers 17 Survey of Japanese Fishermen/Managers 18 Recommendations 19 References 21 Addendum: Rapid Assessments of Eleven Japanese Fisheries 3 Introduction/Summary If you want to witness a display of marine abundance and diversity unrivaled nearly anywhere on planet earth, don’t go to the Coral Triangle. Instead, head straight to the heart of Tokyo, grab your rubber boots and take a stroll through the cavernous Tsukiji fish market. From wild Kamchatka sockeye salmon to giant tuna from the Mediterranean to Maine lobster, Tsukiji sells it all in the largest seafood market in the world. The freshest and highest quality seafood in Tsukiji still comes from waters sur- rounding the Japanese archipelago, which hold some of the most productive fishing grounds on the planet. But domestic fisheries have been in decline for decades, due to overfishing, degraded ecosystems, and negative socio-economic factors. For the average Japanese consumer, this decline has caused higher prices at the market and increasing difficulties in enjoying traditional “washoku” food items. “Unagi” (eel), for example, went from a peak commercial catch of 232 metric tons in 1963 to a measly 5 tons by 2011.1 Meanwhile, the price quadrupled in the last decade alone.

  • The Origin and Evolvement of Chinese Characters
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Portal Czasopism Naukowych (E-Journals) BI WEI THE ORIGIN AND EVOLVEMENT OF CHINESE CHARACTERS Writing, the carrier of culture and the symbol of human civilization, fi rst appeared in Sumer1. Like other ancient languages of Egypt and India, ancient Sumerian symbols have been lost in the process of history, but only Chinese characters still remain in use today. They have played a signifi cant role in the development of Chinese lan- guage and culture. This article intends to display how Chinese characters were creat- ed and how they were simplifi ed from the ancient form of writing to more abstract. Origin of Chinese characters Chinese characters, in their initial forms, were beautiful and appropriately refl ected images in the minds of ancient Chinese that complied with their understanding of reality. Chinese people selected the way of expressing meaning by fi gures and pic- tures, and Chinese characters begun with drawings. Three Myths in Ancient Times It is diffi cult to determine the specifi c time when the Chinese characters emerged. There are three old myths about the origin of Chinese characters. The fi rst refers to the belief that Chinese characters were created by Fu Xi – the fi rst of Three Sovereigns2 in ancient China, who has drew the Eight Trigrams which have evolved into Chinese characters. The mysterious Eight Trigrams3 used for divination are composed of the symbols “–” and “– –”, representing Yang and Yin respectively. 1 I.J.

  • Overfishing to Overconsume. Lure of Money Set to Empty the Oceans
    Volume 4 | Issue 12 | Article ID 2295 | Dec 02, 2006 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Overfishing to Overconsume. Lure of money set to empty the oceans Mark Brazil Overfishing to Overconsume. Lure of money set the fish once seemed boundless, but even to empty the oceans fishermen now admit that overfishing has blighted the fishery. By Mark Brazil A friend of mine who lives in the picturesque port city of Otaru, western Hokkaido, is a fish- hunter. He loves to dive, and hunts for fish with a spear gun -- seafood is his manna from heaven. Visiting him for dinner recently, I was astonished by a creature on my plate that I had not encountered before -- though that is not so difficult in a country with a seemingly greater range of seafood available for consumption than any other. This creature was like a huge krill or shrimp, somewhat like the kind that I grew up in Britain calling a "prawn." But what was most strange about it, were its front appendages, which were just like the arms of a preying mantis. Some investigation revealed that this was Squilla oratoria, and its vernacular name is, not surprisingly, Japanese mantis shrimp (shako in Japanese). The search for that information led me to an interesting web site, which you might find a useful starting point for any quest for information about marine life. The Harbor at Rausu in Hokkaido ablaze with lights in years past as its fishing fleet docked Such a quest would be nothing if not timely, loaded with walleye pollack (above).

Many of the new acquisitions take us back to the very origins of bronze- vessel casting in China or, in other words, to the Erlitou cultural period (19th – 16th centuries BC.) in the Xia dynasty and the Erligang period (16th – 14th centuries BC.) at the beginning of the Shang dynasty. As a result of the collector’s recently renewed concentration on these early periods, the Meiyintang Collection has been able to acquire several exceptional bronzes of the Erlitou period, such as the extremely rare jiao listed as no. 160 (p. 68) and has also, as a result, now become the most complete collection in private hands of bronze ritual vessels of the Erligang period. The archaic bronze vessels in the Meiyintang Collection, probably the most important private collection of its type in terms of the quality, the rarity and the impeccable provenances of its objects, are a concrete testament to and a visual reminder of the primary importance in Chinese culture of the ancestral cult.
