  • Nansei Islands Biological Diversity Evaluation Project Report 1 Chapter 1
    Introduction WWF Japan’s involvement with the Nansei Islands can be traced back to a request in 1982 by Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. The “World Conservation Strategy”, which was drafted at the time through a collaborative effort by the WWF’s network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), posed the notion that the problems affecting environments were problems that had global implications. Furthermore, the findings presented offered information on precious environments extant throughout the globe and where they were distributed, thereby providing an impetus for people to think about issues relevant to humankind’s harmonious existence with the rest of nature. One of the precious natural environments for Japan given in the “World Conservation Strategy” was the Nansei Islands. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the President of the WWF at the time (now President Emeritus), naturally sought to promote acts of conservation by those who could see them through most effectively, i.e. pertinent conservation parties in the area, a mandate which naturally fell on the shoulders of WWF Japan with regard to nature conservation activities concerning the Nansei Islands. This marked the beginning of the Nansei Islands initiative of WWF Japan, and ever since, WWF Japan has not only consistently performed globally-relevant environmental studies of particular areas within the Nansei Islands during the 1980’s and 1990’s, but has put pressure on the national and local governments to use the findings of those studies in public policy. Unfortunately, like many other places throughout the world, the deterioration of the natural environments in the Nansei Islands has yet to stop.

  • The Moon Bear As a Symbol of Yama Its Significance in the Folklore of Upland Hunting in Japan
    Catherine Knight Independent Scholar The Moon Bear as a Symbol of Yama Its Significance in the Folklore of Upland Hunting in Japan The Asiatic black bear, or “moon bear,” has inhabited Japan since pre- historic times, and is the largest animal to have roamed Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū since mega-fauna became extinct on the Japanese archipelago after the last glacial period. Even so, it features only rarely in the folklore, literature, and arts of Japan’s mainstream culture. Its relative invisibility in the dominant lowland agrarian-based culture of Japan contrasts markedly with its cultural significance in many upland regions where subsistence lifestyles based on hunting, gathering, and beliefs centered on the mountain deity (yama no kami) have persisted until recently. This article explores the significance of the bear in the upland regions of Japan, particularly as it is manifested in the folklore of communities centered on hunting, such as those of the matagi, and attempts to explain why the bear, and folklore focused on the bear, is largely ignored in mainstream Japanese culture. keywords: Tsukinowaguma—moon bear—matagi hunters—yama no kami—upland communities—folklore Asian Ethnology Volume 67, Number 1 • 2008, 79–101 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture nimals are common motifs in Japanese folklore and folk religion. Of the Amammals, there is a wealth of folklore concerning the fox, raccoon dog (tanuki), and wolf, for example. The fox is regarded as sacred, and is inextricably associated with inari, originally one of the deities of cereals and a central deity in Japanese folk religion. It has therefore become closely connected with rice agri- culture and thus is an animal symbol central to Japan’s agrarian culture.

  • The Elements of Concealment in Ryukyuan Diplomacy Between Japan and China in Early Modern Times*
    The Elements of Concealment in Ryukyuan Diplomacy between Japan and China in Early Modern Times* WATANABE Miki Introduction Figure 1. An Illustration from the “Illustrated Tale of FurugΩri HachirΩ’s Shipwreck” in Ryπkyπ Nendaiki Figure 1 is an illustration which appeared in a chronicle of the Ryukyu Kingdom entitled Ryπkyπ Nendaiki 琉球 代記, published in Japan in 1832, and was inserted into the vignette, “Illustrated Tale of FurugΩri HachirΩ’s 古郡八郞 Shipwreck.”1) The title in the upper right hand corner reads, “FurugΩri HachirΩ shaves the heads (sakayaki 月代) of the Ryukyu- ans [aboard ship].” The term “sakayaki” refers to the standard male Japa- nese hairstyle in the premodern era, in which the head is shaved from the 88 The Memoirs of the Toyo Bunko, 75, 2017 forehead to the tip of the skull and leaving the remaining hairline in the form of a bowed-out crescent. The figure with the Japanese traditional topknot (chonmage 丁髷) and “sakayaki” is probably FurugΩri HachirΩ him- self, and the newly shaven figure in the bow of the ship, the figure being shaved, and the two figures with long hairpins through round topknots and without “sakayaki” are no doubt the Ryukyuans in question. From the pleasant expression of the Ryukyuans, there seems nothing coercive about the barbering. The account accompanying the illustration may be summed up as follows. Once upon a time, a Japanese by the name of HachirΩ went adrift in the ocean and was cast upon the shores of the Ryukyu Islands. The king of Ryukyu ordered four of his subjects to return HachirΩ to Japan, but alas, that ship also went adrift and was cast upon the shores of Ming China.

    [RAVrocARHON, Vol.. 9, 1967, P. 43-62] GAKUSHUIN NATURAL RADIOCARBON MEASUREMENTS VI KUNIHTKO KIGOSHI Faculty of Science, Gakushuin University Mejiro, Toshimaku, Tokyo, Japan This list of dates is a continuation of Gakushuin V. Instruments and techniques are essentially the same as those used for Gakushuin III, IV and V. Age calculations are based on the Libby half life of C14, 5570 ± 30 yr, and the modern activity given by 0.95A0, i.e., 95% of the activity of NBS oxalic-acid standard. Errors quoted are the standard deviation ob- tained from the number of counts only. When observed activities are less than 2 above background, infinite dates are given with a limit cor- responding to the activity of 3. When they are greater than 0.95A111- 2u, modern dates are given with the limit equal to 0.95A0- 3o Dates for shell samples are computed without correction for environmental and biological isotopic fractionation. We acknowledge the help of Tamako Morinaga, Hiroko Aizawa, and Hiromi Kobayashi in preparing chemical samples and in routine opera- tion. The descriptions and comments are essentially those of persons submitting the samples. SAMPLES DESCRIPTIONS I. GEOLOGIC SAMPLES A. Japan GaK-809.

  • Volcanic Geology and Rocks of Nakanoshima, Takara Islands, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan
    Journal of Geosciences, Osaka City University Vol. 32, Art. 1, p. 1-22 March, 1989 Volcanic Geology and Rocks of Nakanoshima, Takara Islands, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan Masahiro DAISHI* (with 2 Tables 8 Figs.) Abstract One of the Tokara Islands, Nakanoshima, is situated about 207 km south-southwest of Kago­ shima City, and has a beautiful cone-shaped stratovolcano, Otake. This island is composed mainly of the N akanoshima volcanic rocks, which originated are in this island. The N akanoshima volcanic rocks consist of the Serizaki andesites in the southeast, the Nanatsuyama andesites in the east, the Sakiwaridake andesites in the south, the Shiizaki andesites in the southwest, the Older Otake vol­ cano in the north, the Nigoriura andesites in the west, the Negamidake andesites in the east and the Younger Otake volcano in ascending order. The Serizaki andesites are formed by many altered andesitic lava flows and a little pyroclastic rocks of two-pyroxene andesite. The fission track age of lava from Serizaki is 1.75 ± 0.22 Ma. The Nanatsuyama andesites are composed of dense altered andesitic lava flows and pyroclastic rocks of two-pyroxene andesite. The Sakiwaridake andesites consist of partially altered lava flows and pyroclastic rocks of olivine-bearing and olivine-free two-pyroxene andesite. The Shiizaki andesites are composed of partially altered lava flows and pyroclastic rocks of two-pyroxene ande­ site. The Older Otake volcano consists of lava flows and pyroclastic rocks of olivine-bearing and olivine-free two-pyroxene andesite. The Nigoriura andesites are composed of lava flows and pyro­ clastic rocks of two-pyroxene hornblende andesite.

BP: an integration, Quaternary International (2016) 397, 79-92. 3 Abstract Tephras are important for the chronostratigraphy of palaeoenvironmental and archaeological records in southern Kyushu because numerous tephra beds enable these records to be connected and dated precisely using tephrochronology. A regional tephra-based framework or lattice for the past 30,000 calendar (cal.) years is proposed in the style of recent INTIMATE projects elsewhere.
