    Suicide: a Unique Epidemic in Japan a High GDP, a Literacy Rate of 99

    Suicide: A Unique Epidemic in Japan Magdalena Wilson College of Arts and Science, Vanderbilt University Japan, a country with a long life expectancy, strong economy and stable political system seems like an unlikely place to encounter a deadly global epidemic. Yet, the unique history and culture of Japan, including its religion, media, and economy, create a setting in which rates of suicide are reaching unprecedented levels. The culture of Japan combined with the peculiar nature of suicide, which allows it to evade clear classification as a disease, creates an intriguing public health challenge for Japan in tackling this epidemic. A high GDP, a literacy rate of 99 percent, a performing a form of seppuku more appropriate for healthy life expectancy of 72-78 years, and a health times of peace, junshi or “suicide to follow one‟s lord budget of 1660 international dollars per capita (World to the grave,” (59) as an outlet for expressing their Health Organization 2005) are not the features valor and dedication to their lord.

  • The Martensz Collection on Sri Lanka at the National Library of Australia

    The Martensz Collection on Sri Lanka at the National Library of Australia

    ALRA Newsletter No. 74 (July 2019) A Diplomat’s Gift: the Martensz Collection on Sri Lanka at the National Library of Australia Introduction Today the Martensz Collection is little remembered, though it is described briefly in that invaluable source on the National Library of Australia’s holdings, the Burmester guide (1). Its donation in 1955 was also covered in some detail in the Canberra Times (2). Presentation of the Collection On 2 June 1955 the High Commissioner for Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Mr J. Aubrey Martensz, CBE, presented his personal collection of books about his homeland to the National Library (2). The island nation then called Ceylon is now known as Sri Lanka. For convenience the current name Sri Lanka has been used in this article, except for proper names and in book titles. The gift was formally accepted by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Archie Cameron, in his role as Chairman of the Library Committee. Those attending the ceremony in the Speaker’s Chambers of Parliament included the Prime Minister, Robert Menzies, the Minister for External Affairs, Richard Casey, and the National Librarian, Harold White. It is hard to imagine a book donation attracting a prime minister and other senior politicians nowadays. Life and career of J. Aubrey Martensz (2)(3) James Aubrey Martensz (1885-1963), was born into a Burgher family in Colombo, the island’s capital. The Burghers, a minority community of mixed Sri Lankan and Western heritage, generally have Portuguese, Dutch, British or other European surnames, the name Martensz being of Dutch origin.

Ph. Vogel in seiner Erklärung des ersten Reliefs der Räma-Serie von Tjandi Lara Djonggrang1. Kein besseres Argument kann es für die Herausgabe dieses Buches geben als diesen Aus­ spruch des bekannten Archäologen. Als ich meine Arbeit schrieb, hatte ich ständig oben­ stehende Worte vor Augen und als ich von meinen Plänen Mitteilung machte, erfuhr ich, daß auch andere so dachten. Die Herausgabe der alten Fotos über die Reliefs von Tjandi Parambanan - wie Lara Djonggrang genannt ward - durch den Arzt Dr. J. Groneman, begleitet von einem kurzen, jedoch meist nichtssagenden, oft sogar falschen Text, ist in der Tat äußerst mangelhaft. Seitdem ergaben die Untersuchungen von Brandes überdies, daß der Tjandi Lara Djonggrang von größerer Bedeutung ist, als man im allgemeinen an­ nehmen möchte. Selbstverständlich mußte eine erneute Ausgabe der Reliefs mehr bieten als ein Foto- Album mit erklärenden Anmerkungen.

  • The Absent Vedas

    The Absent Vedas

    The Absent Vedas Will SWEETMAN University of Otago The Vedas were first described by a European author in a text dating from the 1580s, which was subsequently copied by other authors and appeared in transla- tion in most of the major European languages in the course of the seventeenth century. It was not, however, until the 1730s that copies of the Vedas were first obtained by Europeans, even though Jesuit missionaries had been collecting Indi- an religious texts since the 1540s. I argue that the delay owes as much to the rela- tive absence of the Vedas in India—and hence to the greater practical significance for missionaries of other genres of religious literature—as to reluctance on the part of Brahmin scholars to transmit their texts to Europeans. By the early eighteenth century, a strange dichotomy was apparent in European views of the Vedas. In Europe, on the one hand, the best-informed scholars believed the Vedas to be the most ancient and authoritative of Indian religious texts and to preserve a monotheistic but secret doctrine, quite at odds with the popular worship of multiple deities. The Brahmins kept the Vedas, and kept them from those outside their caste, especially foreigners. One or more of the Vedas was said to be lost—perhaps precisely the one that contained the most sublime ideas of divinity. By the 1720s scholars in Europe had begun calling for the Vedas to be translated so that this secret doctrine could be revealed, and from the royal library in Paris a search for the texts of the Vedas was launched.

    TJ and the 47 Ronin

    Thomas Jefferson and the samurai spirit Tokugawa Ieyasu won the battle of Sekigahara in 1601, and he ushered into Japan several centuries of feudal rule. To celebrate his victory, Tokugawa took the title of Shogun, invited peasants to decapitate his rival and established a rigid set of laws and regulations that lasted nearly 300 years. One century after Sekigahara, Japan experienced an epic event that set the character of the nation ever after. 1 The sacrifices attendant with this tale would Tokugawa have been understood and appreciated by Thomas Jefferson. Ieyasu Approximately four decades before Jefferson’s birth, in 1701 in Edo (Tokyo) an important imperial protocol officer, Kira Kozuke-no-Suke Yoshinaka, was charged with teaching court etiquette to young nobles including Asano Takumi-no- Kami Naganori. Kira by all accounts was irascible and demanding, probably corrupt and undisputedly insulting. Then after stoically enduring this pedagogical abuse for months, Asano attacked Kira with a weapon.2 Although Kira was only slightly injured, drawing a blade inside the imperial Goaded by Kira, palace was a capital Lord Asano crime.

Stiftsbibliothek Sankt Gallen Dit is de eerste tekening in Müllers berijmde en geïllustreerde verslag over zijn dienstjaren bij de VOC (1669-1682). Hij wijst op de delen van de aarde die hij heeft bereisd en becommentarieert dat aldus: durch gottes genad zu wasser und landt Viel wunder dingen hab erkannt hab ehr gesucht, vorr gut und geldt Ich gereist in all vier theil der welt darfür danck ich dem schöpfber mein der mein gelaitsmann thäte sein Roelof van Gelder, Het Oost-Indisch avontuur. Duitsers in dienst van de voc (1600-1800) 8 Geh nun hin auf daß Schif, und fahr, Vertrau dem Wind dein Junge Jahr. Dein Leben wirdt nicht weitter seyn Vom Tod, alß vier Zwerch Fingerlein. Uit het handschrift van Heinrich Muche uit Breslau, soldaat in dienst van de VOC van 1670 tot 1683 Ich habe vieles ehr ich wuste was reisen ist in unterschiedenen Bücher von Oostindien gelesen die mir sehr anmuthig und schön vorkamen, und mir eine besonder Lust zum reisen erweckten, daß ich auch nicht ehrer habe ruhen können, biß ich die Örther davon ich gelesen gesehen hatte. Allein ich bleibe beij ihrer anmuthigen Schreibart nicht, sonder verwerffe und verfluche sie vielmehr, weil sie einen Anlaß giebt zur Verleitung eines jungen Menschen und ich es gantz anders befunden habe.
