  • Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei
    Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei By ©2016 Alison Miller Submitted to the graduate degree program in the History of Art and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko ________________________________ Dr. Sherry Fowler ________________________________ Dr. David Cateforis ________________________________ Dr. John Pultz ________________________________ Dr. Akiko Takeyama Date Defended: April 15, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Alison Miller certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko Date approved: April 15, 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the political significance of the image of the Japanese Empress Teimei (1884-1951) with a focus on issues of gender and class. During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

    Pictures of Social Networks: Transforming Visual Representations of the Orchid Pavilion Gathering in the Tokugawa Period (1615-1868) by Kazuko Kameda-Madar B.A., The University of Hawai„i at Mānoa, 1997 M.A., The University of Hawai„i at Mānoa, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Art History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) May 2011 © Kazuko Kameda-Madar, 2011 Abstract This thesis examines the cultural networks that connected people holding common ideological values in the Tokugawa period by surveying a range of visual representations of the Orchid Pavilion Gathering. It explores the Tokugawa social phenomena that gave rise to the sudden boom in the Orchid Pavilion motif and how painters of different classes, belonging to different schools, such as Kano Sansetsu, Ike Taiga, Tsukioka Settei and Kubo Shunman, came to develop variations of this theme in order to establish cultural identity and to negotiate stronger positions in the relationships of social power. Probing the social environment of artists and their patrons, I demonstrate how distinct types of Orchid Pavilion imagery were invented and reinvented to advance different political agendas. The legendary gathering at the Orchid Pavilion in China took place in 353 CE, when Wang Xizhi invited forty-one scholars to participate in an annual Spring Purification Festival. At this event, Wang Xizhi improvised a short text that has come to be known as the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Gathering. In Japan, while the practice of the ritual gathering and the text describing it were introduced in the Nara period, its pictorial representation in the format of a stone rubbing was not imported until the early seventeenth century.

Abstract Visual and Material Culture at Hōkyōji Imperial Convent: The Significance of “Women’s Art” in Early Modern Japan by Sharon Mitsuko Yamamoto Doctor of Philosophy in History of Art University of California, Berkeley Professor Gregory Levine, Chair This dissertation focuses on the visual and material culture of Hōkyōji Imperial Buddhist Convent (Hōkyōji ama monzeki jiin) during the Edo period (1600-1868). Situated in Kyoto and in operation since the mid-fourteenth century, Hōkyōji has been the home for women from the highest echelons of society—the nobility and military aristocracy—since its foundation. The objects associated with women in the rarefied position of princess-nun offer an invaluable look into the role of visual and material culture in the lives of elite women in early modern Japan.

  • The Imperial Palace Prayerwalking Guide
    Imperial Palace PrayerWalk Prefectures of Japan Welcome & Prayer Why the Imperial Palace? • The Imperial Palace grounds are basically holy ground for many Japanese. • This is the home of Emperor, who is the Shinto high priest of the nation. • Located in this surrounding area is the seat of Japanese government, various government ministries, the Supreme Court, the National Theater, telecommunications centers as well as commerce, banking and media empires. In many ways, this general area is the CPU of all of Japan. • In addition, this is not just the residence of the Emperor, but embedded in the sidewalks that encircle the Imperial Place are images of each of Japan’s 47 prefectures. So, we have an opportunity to touch the face of all of Japan! Orientation to the Imperial Palace Prayer Guide • It was specially designed for this location. From Operation Japan. • Proceed in groups of 2 or 3 together, rotating turns to lead prayer. Let’s change prayer partners every 15 minutes so you can have the joy of “working out” with other team members. • I’d like to suggest that we pray out loud if you don’t already do that normally. (Why would we ask this?) • Please don’t leave the course and strike out on your own. • Please stay hydrated! • Please be sensitive to joggers/runners/cyclists: We share the sidewalks! We want to leave the fragrance of Christ, not the stench of arrogant Christians. • A few pictures are fine. Just make sure we don’t get carried away! What makes Prayerwalking in Japan so Strategic/Different/Unique? Let us just begin by stating the obvious.

  • 京都時代祭りkyoto’S Festival of the Ages
    京都時代祭りKyoto’s Festival of the Ages The Kyoto Festival of the Ages (Jidai Matsuri) is held every year on 22 October during Kyoto’s autumn sight- seeing period and it is one of the city’s three main festivals. The long and solemn procession of people depicts famous historical figures wearing authentic costumes of the day and has something of a triumphal air about it. However, the parade’s origins are not to be found in some great victory. The Jidai Matsuri was inaugurated after the capital moved in 1868 from Kyoto to Tokyo; an association of Kyoto residents made a conscious decision to preserve the history and the future of their city. There was good reason to be participants wear well researched and concerned for the future of the city historically accurate costumes from when Emperor Komei moved the the 8th through to the 19th century, capital to Edo, as Tokyo was then the period that Kyoto was the imperial known.

  • Machizukuri Bottom-Up Approach to Conservation of Historic Communities: Lessons for Thailand
    THE MACHIZUKURI BOTTOM-UP APPROACH TO CONSERVATION OF HISTORIC COMMUNITIES: LESSONS FOR THAILAND WIMONRART ISSARATHUMNOON Thai PhD. Student, The University of Tokyo BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE With its authentic historic monuments, the Rattanakosin area plays an important role in the identity of the old town of Bangkok. The conservation of the Rattanakosin area started in 1982, the year of Bangkok’s bicentenary anniversary. In that year itself, many studies related to Rattanakosin’s history, arts, and architecture were done. Different government sectors proposed several conservation plans. The result was the Master plan for Conservation and Development of Krung Rattanakosin, which was made public by the Rattanakosin Committee. Since then, conservation activities along the lines of policy plans have been consistently implemented. Then came a period of change in 1997-1998 when the first bottom-up-approach for conservation was started. Citizens’ groups were formed to “wake up” their hometown (Askew 301-304), and they were supported by the local government that was formed following the decentralisation policy. Today, the government authorities pay more attention to public participation. In the Strategic Plan for Conservation and Development of Krung Rattanakosin and the Old Towns (2004-2008), a public participation plan was added to the main plan. Furthermore, the Draft Plan of Public Participation for Conservation and Development of Krung Rattanakosin (2004-2006), was launched as a new tool for conservation. However, public participation is an ongoing process, and the plans still need to be adjusted to generate long-term results. The sectors need to study effective bottom-up approaches to conservation in other Asian countries with similar situations, to apply in conservation efforts in Thailand.

  • THE TALE of GENJI a ­Japanese ­Classic ­Illuminated the TALE of GENJI a Japanese Classic Illuminated
    THE TALE OF GENJI a japanese classic illuminated THE TALE OF GENJI a japanese classic illuminated With its vivid descriptions of courtly society, gar- dens, and architecture in early eleventh-century Japan, The Tale of Genji—recognized as the world’s first novel—has captivated audiences around the globe and inspired artistic traditions for one thou- sand years. Its female author, Murasaki Shikibu, was a diarist, a renowned poet, and, as a tutor to the young empress, the ultimate palace insider; her monumental work of fiction offers entry into an elaborate, mysterious world of court romance, political intrigue, elite customs, and religious life. This handsomely designed and illustrated book explores the outstanding art associated with Genji through in-depth essays and discussions of more than one hundred works. The Tale of Genji has influenced all forms of Japanese artistic expression, from intimately scaled albums to boldly designed hanging scrolls and screen paintings, lacquer boxes, incense burners, games, palanquins for transporting young brides to their new homes, and even contemporary manga. The authors, both art historians and Genji scholars, discuss the tale’s transmission and reception over the centuries; illuminate its place within the history of Japanese literature and calligraphy; highlight its key episodes and characters; and explore its wide-ranging influence on Japanese culture, design, and aesthetics into the modern era. 368 pages; 304 color illustrations; bibliography; index THE TALE OF GENJI THE TALE OF GENJI a japanese classic illuminated John T.
