  • JP Domain Name Registry Report 2019
    2019.1-12 JP Domain Name Registry Report Japan Registry Services Co.,Ltd. Introduction The Internet is being used in increasingly broad and diverse areas of society as technology advances. Along with that, the need for domain names and the importance of the domain name system (DNS) are also being strengthened. With this background, the number of JP domain names surpassed 1.57 million in January 2020. Over 420,000 names are registered under “co.jp,” making it the most registered category in the Organizational Type JP Domain Name, the domain name space categorized by organizational type of registrants. 97% of publicly-listed companies in Japan have already registered “co.jp” domain names. JPRS is committed to its ongoing effort to improve JP domain name services, develop systems and carry out promotional activities to facilitate the use of JP domain names and deliver greater value to users. The domain name industry saw the number of domain names across TLDs increase. On the other hand, various challenges have continued to threaten the Internet infrastructure, such as domain hijacking that exploits falsified DNS configurations and detection of vulnerabilities in DNS software. As a company supporting the basis of the Internet society through domain names and DNS, JPRS is striving to make the Internet safe for everyone to use. To this end, JPRS promptly provides information and deals with risks and challenges related to domain names and DNS as they arise. JPRS also actively contributes to discussions of global issues and conveys relevant information to the communities in Japan. The management and administration of JP domain names require a high level of commitment to enhancing the public interest and getting ahead in the competition.

A Transpacific Query on f Absence Nayoung Aimee Kwon Franz Kafka, in a 1921 letter to Max Brod, his close confidant and literary executor, writes on the linguistic impossibilities for minor writers in relation to a major or metropolitan language: “[t]he impossibility of not writing, the impossibility of writing German, the impossibility of writing differently. One might also add a fourth impossibility, the impossibility of writing” (qtd. in Casanova 254). As someone researching a distant imperial context, what strikes me about Kafka’s oft-cited dilemma is how uncannily similar it is to the relatively little-known struggles of colonized authors writing from the periphery of the Japanese empire. Noting such parallels among far- flung yet similar power dynamics, this essay begins with a question: what might we learn from paying attention to these similarities be- tween a Jewish Czech author writing from the periphery of Germany, itself a minor empire vis-à-vis the dominant European empires, and the language struggles of minor authors writing in the periphery of Japan, another minor empire? How might comparing the uncanny similarities between these experiences of unhomeliness help us to clarify the little-understood but far-reaching entanglements of shifting border formations among major and minor imperial competitions and collusions?1 MFS Modern Fiction Studies, Volume 64, number 3, Fall 2018.

  • A Criticism of Edwin O. Reischauer's Pronouncements on Ancient Korea
    International Journal of Korean History (Vol.16 No.1, Feb. 2011) 25 A Criticism of Edwin O. Reischauer’s Pronouncements on Ancient Korea-Japan Relations Choi, Jae-seok (Ch’oe Chaesŏk)* Foreword As is well-known, Edwin O. Reischauer was University Professor at Harvard and was United States Ambassador to Japan from 1961 to 1966. This paper aims to examine the ancient Korea-Japan relations as mentioned in his book entitled The Japanese (Charkes E., 1977, Tokyo: Tuttle), which is said to have been a best seller in the United States. Being an American best seller, the book is supposed to have been read widely all over the world as well as in Europe. Now, if that history book has distorted parts in it, chances are that most readers must have accepted that distortions as true without questioning. As a matter of fact, this book by Reischauer is no exception to the general rule among Japanese ancient historians' practices of historical distortions,1 at times even overshadowing them. Although it is more than thirty years since the book was first published, I couldn't sit idle by and just watch. That is why I have taken up my pen to write my paper. Including this paper, I have written four critical articles on Western scholarship on ancient Korean-Japanese relations.2 * Professor emeritus, Department of Sociology, Korea University 26 A Criticism of Edwin O. Reischauer’s Pronouncements on Ancient Korea-Japan Relations On Ancient Burial Mounds On ancient Japanese burial mounds, Prof. Reischauer has this to say. A 1 During the next three centuries (3rd, 4th, and 5th) many large burial mounds were built throughout the western two-thirds of the islands, suggesting considerable concentrations of wealth and power in the hands of a military aristocracy.

This normally consists of one or more given names (see Chapter 15) and an additional name whose function is to identify the individual as a member of a family within society. With very few exceptions, there are just three such systems of personal naming throughout the world: the patronymic system, the binomial system, and the Arabic system. The focus of this chapter will be on family names within the binomial system, but first we give a brief account of the other two systems, both of which have contributed to the development of family names within the binomial system in the English-speaking world and in other European languages.
