Funded by the JENESYS (Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths) Programme, this forum aims to deepen understanding of the different facets of the Japanese society including politics, diplomacy, economics and culture and to form the basis of future vision and construct firm solidarity among Asian countries which will promote mutual understanding of the future generation of the East Asia Community. In the 10-day program, including seminars on Japan and intensive discussion, twenty nine young Asian intellectuals and professionals such as journalists, social workers, scholars, artists, NGO workers, administrative officers, and business people have been discussing common issues and concerns in East Asia from the inter-cultural, inter-societal and inter-faith viewpoints, with advices by the five coordinators from Japan and ASEAN countries. To share the result of intensive discussions with general public, the public symposium was held in Waseda University on December 17, 2007. This publication consists of three parts. The first part is the report of the public symposium including Keynote speech, presentations by coordinators, and summary of floor discussion. The second part comprises the program details and short papers from the participants along with their personal profiles, which is followed by the last part, the summary and reviews of two- day group discussions. The organizers hope that the real cross-cultural dialogue among the participants would be handed on to the society through this proceeding, and believe that the forum contributes to create a sense of an East Asia Community in the future. The Japan Foundation Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan Waseda University Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies Overview “Is the Creation of Sense of Identity Possible in East Asia?” After the International Forum, “Towards an East Asia Community: Beyond Cross-Cultural Diversity, Inter-cultural, Inter-societal, Inter-faith Dialogue.” Yasushi KIKUCHI Professor, Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies, Waseda University On December 17, 2007, the international symposium “Towards an East Asia Community”, in which about 200 audience attended, was conducted at Waseda Ono Auditorium, by the three organizers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Waseda University Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies, and the Japan Foundation. As a moderator of the symposium, my primary concern was how to set the theme. Although we have seen the increase of symposiums which are based on a concept of “East Asia Community” or conferences of the similar themes in the past 2-3 years, the content of these symposiums and conferences uniformly focuses on the regional integration in the sphere of the economic activity. This concept of economic integration does not only widely spread among specialists of political and business arena, but also has gained the attention from the academics in politics and economics, and has become a kind of fashionable theme. Here, as a moderator, I thought this international symposium should be slightly different in content and become another driving force to forward the East Asian Community Building. That is to say, I wanted to use this opportunity to raise a question on how to share with the people from different regions, the different value and social principles which I have cultivated through the experiences of field survey as a social-anthropologist. At the public symposium, held as apart of the JENESYS (Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths) Programme, we have invited 29 young intellectuals from the total of 16 countries which participated in East Asian Summit (EAS), 10 from Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) plus China, Korea, India, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. The participants spent 10 days together to discuss and deepen their thoughts about the possibility of creating common sense of identity in culturally and ethnically Overview diverse East Asian region. During the intensive discussion which lasted for 2 days in the middle of the program, we separated the participants into 3 different groups - focusing on either culture or society or faith - , to discuss the topic of their group and share each and unique problem participants’ representing countries have. The discussion took place not only among the participants themselves, but also with 4 other experts who represent ASEAN. In other words, all who participated the forum have experienced the sense of identity and the cultural diversity through their own skins. The biggest accomplishment, I felt, was to have created the common space where each participant shared the sense of identity beyond their attributes and value. As the fruit of my 40-year experience of field research as a social- anthropologist, I have known that people can discover a tool for mutual understanding by extracting the differences rather than similarities in value and principles

  • The Saddharmapundarika and Its Influence
    THE SADDHARMAPUNDARIKA AND ITS INFLUENCE By Senchu Murano The following paper is a summary of Hokekyo no Shiso to Bunka, edited by Yukio Sakamoto, Dean of the Faculty of Buddhism at Rissho University,Tokyo. (Kyoto,Heirakuji-shoten,1965; 711 pp., Index 31 pp.; Yen 4,000.) PA RT I : THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE SADDHARMAPUNDARIKA Chapter L The Formation of the Saddharmapunda?'lka A. The Saddharmapundarika and Indian Culture ( Ensho K anakura) H. Kern holds that the character of the Saddharmapundarika is similar to that of Narayana in the Bhagavadglta and that the Bhagavadglta had great influence on the Saddharmapun­ darika. Winternitz points out the influence of the Purdnas on the stitra, and Farquhar thinks that the Vedantas influenced the sutra. Kern shows us the materials for his opinion, but W inter­ nitz and Farquhar do not. On the other hand,Charles Eliot and H. von Glasenapp do speak of the influences of other religions on this sutra. They try to find the sources of the philosophy of the Saddharma­ pundarika in the current thought of India of the time. This is more convincing. It seems to be true to some extent that the Saddharmapun- — 315 — Senchu Murano dartka was influenced by the Bhagavadglta. It is also true, however, that the monotheistic idea given in the Bhagavadglta was already apparent in the Svetasvatara Upanisad, and that monotheism prevailed in India for some centuries around the beginning of the Christian Era. W e can say that the Saddhar- mapundarlka^ the Bhagavadglta, and other pieces of literature of a similar nature were produced from the common ground of the same age.

  • HA 362/562 CERAMIC ARTS of KOREA – PLACENTA JARS, POTTERY WARS and TEA CULTURE Maya Stiller University of Kansas
    HA 362/562 CERAMIC ARTS OF KOREA – PLACENTA JARS, POTTERY WARS AND TEA CULTURE Maya Stiller University of Kansas COURSE DESCRIPTION From ancient to modern times, people living on the Korean peninsula have used ceramics as utensils for storage and cooking, as well as for protection, decoration, and ritual performances. In this class, students will examine how the availability of appropriate materials, knowledge of production/firing technologies, consumer needs and intercultural relations affected the production of different types of ceramics such as Koryŏ celadon, Punch’ŏng stoneware, ceramics for the Japanese tea ceremony, blue-and-white porcelain, and Onggi ware (a specific type of earthenware made for the storage of Kimch’i and soybean paste). The class has two principal goals. The first is to develop visual analysis skills and critical vocabulary to discuss the material, style, and decoration techniques of Korean ceramics. By studying and comparing different types of ceramics, students will discover that ceramic traditions are an integral part of any society’s culture, and are closely connected with other types of cultural products such as painting, sculpture, lacquer, and metalware. Via an analysis of production methods, students will realize that the creation of a perfect ceramic piece requires the fruitful collaboration of dozens of artisans and extreme attention to detail. The second goal is to apply theoretical frameworks from art history, cultural studies, anthropology, history, and sociology to the analysis of Korean ceramic traditions to develop a deeper, intercultural understanding of their production. Drawing from theoretical works on issues such as the distinction between art and handicraft (Immanuel Kant), social capital (Pierre Bourdieu), “influence” (Michael Baxandall) and James Clifford’s “art-culture system,” students will not only discuss the function of ceramics in mundane and religious space but also explore aspects such as patronage, gender, collecting, and connoisseurship within and outside Korea.
