  • Those Days in Muramatsu
    Those Days in Muramatsu Diary by Mrs. Yumi Goto Publications of the Center for East Asian Studies University of Kansas Electronic Series, Number 2 Center for East Asian Studies Map of Japan 2 Map of Muramatsu 3 Introduction Grant K. Goodman "It's disconcerting that people who behaved so badly in war can behave so admirably in defeat."1 Neither any historical document nor any scholarly account has been able to recapture the mood of Japanese-American grassroots interaction in 1945 in the way that Mrs. Yumi Goto does in Those Days in Muramatsu. As one who was there in Japan as a member of the American forces in 1945-1946 and as a trained historian of Japan, I feel especially qualified to evaluate the remarkable evocation of an era which Mrs. Goto recounts. Certainly memories dim and memory plays tricks on all of us, but, since Mrs. Goto recorded her experiences contemporaneously, one feels the profound veracity of her writing. Moreover, the most unusual phenomenon of a Japanese woman purposefully recording her impressions in English so that some day they might be read by Americans reinforces her credibility. I am particularly pleased to attest to my great personal delight as well as my intense response when Mrs. Goto's work first came to my attention. Indeed, it was her son, Kenichi, the distinguished scholar of modern Indonesia and my colleague and friend of many years, who was kind enough to share his mother's manuscript with me. In fact, he himself had not known of the existence of Those Days in Muramatsu until about ten years ago at the time of Mrs.

  • I May Not Use the Japanese Terms for Everything in This Document, Or Spell Them the Way You Think They May Be Spelled
    Please note: I may not use the Japanese terms for everything in this document, or spell them the way you think they may be spelled. Deal. Different sources happen. Sources will appear at the end of this document. Oh, and I hereby give permission for AEG and any forum moderators acting as representatives thereof to post this (unmodified and in its entirety, except as directed by me) as a reference document anywhere they need to do so, if they feel so inclined. SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION AND ARMOR Armor exists in a constant state of flux, always attempting to protect the wearer against an ever-more lethal variety of battlefield threats. There are many reasons NOT to wear armor. It’s expensive. It’s high-maintenance. It is hot and smelly (sometimes to the point of causing heatstroke). It restricts your mobility. It dulls your senses and slows your reflexes. It’s never perfect, 100% protection. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that if armor did not perform some valid battlefield function, people would not have worn it. People aren’t stupid. We may be more educated today, but people have a long history of seeing a problem, and then devoting all of their time and technological progress to that point in history finding a way to SOLVE that problem. Again, it stands to reason that, especially in a culture like that of Japan, where weaponry and armor simply did not evolve after reaching a certain level of technological development, there must be a rough balance between weaponry and protection. If armor was useless against battlefield weaponry, it would not have been worn.

  • Displaying Authority: Guns, Political Legitimacy, and Martial Pageantry in Tokugawa Japan, 1600-1868
    DISPLAYING AUTHORITY: GUNS, POLITICAL LEGITIMACY, AND MARTIAL PAGEANTRY IN TOKUGAWA JAPAN, 1600-1868. Daniele Lauro A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Dr. Morgan Pitelka Dr. William M. Fletcher Dr. Wayne Lee © 2012 Daniele Lauro ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DANIELE LAURO: Displaying authority: guns, political legitimacy, and martial pageantry in Tokugawa Japan, 1600-1868. (Under the direction of Morgan Pitelka) From the end of the sixteenth century on, firearms in Japan are increasingly found in contexts other than the battlefield. A perusal of the Records of the Tokugawa Family (Tokugawa Jikki) - the military clan that ruled Japan from 1603 to 1868 - reveals, for instance, that guns were often involved in ritual practices performed by the warrior elite, such as weddings, funerals, hunting parades, and celebrations of the New Year. Moreover, it was common for both the shogun and the domainal lords (daimyô) to display firearms and other weapons during public audiences and military parades. By considering different ritual practices that involved the display of military power such as daimyo processions to Edo, shogunal pilgrimages to Nikko, military reviews, large-scale hunts and other pageants, this paper argues that during the Tokugawa period guns were often used by the warrior elite as tools to shore up authority, legitimize the political order, and reinforce ideals of warrior identity. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction……………………………………………………………………………..1 Chapter I. Local authority on the move: daimyo processions (daimyô gyôretsu) and the system of alternate attendance (sankin kôtai)……………………………….11 II.

  • 1 the Cool Japan Project and the Globalization of Anime
    THE COOL JAPAN PROJECT AND THE GLOBALIZATION OF ANIME AND MANGA IN THE UNITED STATES by Joshua Michael Draper Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of Cultural, Gender, and Global Studies and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts May, 2015 Approved by: Wei Xie, Ph.D., Thesis Director Alexandra Sterling-Hellenbrand, Ph.D., Second Reader Jeanne Dubino, Ph.D., Department Honors Director Leslie Sargent Jones, Ph.D., Director, The Honors College 1 The Cool Japan Project and the Globalization of Anime and Manga in the United States Abstract: This research paper will primarily discuss the impact that Japanese animation and manga have had on American popular culture and the subsequent cult following they developed. It will discuss what distinguishes Japanese animation from Western animation, how Japanese animation initially gained popularity among American audiences, and how it has subsequently impacted American popular culture. This paper will also focus on the subculture of otaku, a group of people known for their devoted following to Japanese animation and comic books. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relative popularity of Japanese animation and manga amongst American audiences as an example of globalization impacting the United States from another country. Keywords: anime, manga, soft power, Cool Japan, globalization 2 Introduction During the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese animation and comic books began coming overseas to the United States, where it soon gained popularity amongst a sizeable number of young Americans. Recognizing the economic potential of Japanese popular culture, in 2002, Douglas McGray, writing for Foreign Policy, wrote an article titled “Japan’s Gross National Cool”, highlighting Japan’s potential to be a global “soft power”, or a country that promotes itself through its cultural influence rather than by economic and military force.

  • Yumi Sniper the Art of the Bow Is As Widely Practiced As That of the Blade Among Samurai, Leading Many to Focus Upon It
    Yumi Sniper The art of the bow is as widely practiced as that of the blade among samurai, leading many to focus upon it. Yumi snipers practice their craft with these weapons, attacking from afar and harrowing opponents as they see fit. The yumi sniper is an archetype of the samurai class. Limited Prowess: A yumi sniper’s base attack bonus decreases by one step (from FULL BAB to 3/4 BAB). Also decreases yumi sniper’s hit dice from d10 to d8. Weapon Proficiencies: A yumi sniper is proficient with all simple weapons and all non-exotic bows and crossbows. This ability alters the samurai’s weapon proficiencies. Expanded Skill (Ex): The yumi sniper has trained herself in the use of bows and crossbows to complement her unique fighting style. A yumi sniper may use a bow or crossbow for any class feature that requires the use of a katana, nodachi, or wakizashi. Archer’s Technique (Ex): At 1st level, the yumi sniper can use a bow or crossbow in place of a katana, nodachi or wakizashi to perform weaponskills. When a weaponskill is used in this way, the yumi sniper makes a ranged attack as normal, treating the square the arrow or bolt hits as the "samurai" as the origin point. This ability replaces forces of sen and modifies weaponskills. Ranged Acumen (Ex): At 2nd level, a yumi sniper gains Precise Shot as a bonus feat even if she does not meet the prerequisites and is treated as though she had the Point-Blank Shot feat for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of feats.

Maintenance of muscle strength and mass as aging occurs will greatly improve these functions and promote independent living and longevity. It is well known that men and women are not comparable in strength or absolute muscle mass after adolescence. In adulthood, when strength is expressed relative to mass, the disparity tends to be smaller, therefore, the primary aim of this study was to identify sex-related differences in muscle quality, defined as the upper and lower body strength relative to muscle mass of the upper and lower body, respectively, in older men and women. METHODS: Seventeen men [mean ą SD: age (years): 69.1 ą 6.6; height (cm): 177.4 ą 7.5; weight (kg): 84.0 ą 14.5] and 17 age-matched women [age (years): 68.9 ą 6.4; height (cm): 159.4 ą 7.9; weight (kg): 71.0 ą 12.8] completed maximal bench press and leg press to assess strength and underwent a full-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan to quantify arm lean mass and leg lean mass.
