  • Traditional Festival As a Tourism Event- Stakeholders' Influence On
    Traditional Festival as a Tourism Event: Stakeholders’ Influence on the Dynamics of the Sendai Tanabata Festival in Japan YUJIE SHEN JAP4693 - Master’s Thesis in Modern Japan Master’s programme 30 credits Autumn 2020 Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages (IKOS) University of Oslo December 15, 2020 Summary A new method of analyzing traditional Japanese festivals (matsuri) based on event studies is presented. Stakeholders’ influence and their interactions redefine narratives of tradition. In Japan, the urbanization of society has transformed matsuri into tourism-oriented events. However, the influence of touristification on tradition has not yet been fully explored. This paper offers a close examination of a case study about the dynamics of the Sendai Tanabata Festival. Local newspaper archives were used as the primary source and adopted the stake- holder theory and social exchange theory from event studies to examine stakeholders’ power and interests, as well as their relationships. The results discovered that it is the conflicts of festival stakeholders throughout the years that shaped the Sendai Tanabata Festival to what it is like today. Although festival organizers and local residents are key players, both domestic and foreign tourists’ influence should also not be neglected. The inheritance of traditional cul- ture depends on its original community i.e. local residents. Depopulation and aging social problems have shifted the weight of festival ownership to tourists, as they contribute to the economic revitalization and regional development. As a result, festival organizers tend to tai- lor the festival to tourists’ tastes, which often leads to change or loss of tradition’s original festive meaning or the invention of a new tradition.

  • Visakha Puja: Celebration of the Day of Vesak
    Visakha Puja: Celebration of the Day of Vesak By Prof. Dr. Phra Dharmakosajarn Rector, Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Bangkok, Thailand Definition Visakha Puja, or the Day of Vesak, is the festival celebrating the birth, enlightenment and parinibbana (passing away) of the Lord Buddha. It falls on the full moon day of the month of Visakha or Vesak, the sixth lunar month, (which usually falls during the period May in the Gregorian calendar). Significance According to the Theravada tradition, the three most important events in the life of the Buddha – his birth, his achievement of enlightenment and his entry into of parinibbana – all occurred on the full moon day of Visakha. Aspects of the Dharma relating to the birth, enlightenment and parinibbana of the Buddha include gratitude, the Four Noble Truths and mindfulness. Historical Life of the Buddha The Buddha was born in Lumbini Park, between the cities Kapilavastu and Devadaha of the Sakya Kingdom, in present – day Nepal, on the morning of Friday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month, 623 BCE, 80 years before the beginning of the Buddhist Era. He exchanged the household life for that of an ascetic and after much strenuous effort attained full enlightenment at Uruvela in the kingdom of Magadha, present – day Bodhgaya, India, on the morning of Wednesday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month, 45 years before beginning of the Buddhist Era. After his enlightenment, he taught those who were able to receive his teaching and countless men and women achieved enlightenment. The Buddha achieved parinibbana, that is, he passed from this world, at the age of 80 on Tuesday, the fifteenth waxing day of the sixth lunar month in the Sala Park of the Malla near the town of Kusinara in the Malla Kingdom, present day Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India.

  • Tanabata Festival
    TANABATA Tanabata (七夕), also known as the Star Festival is celebrated year- ly on the evening of July 7th. The third biggest summer festival in Japan, it finds its roots in a legend about the Cowherd Star (Altair) and the Weaver Star (Vega), lovers separated by the Milky Way, only allowed to meet once a year - on the seventh day of the sev- enth month. Because of this, some areas of Japan, such as Sendai, on August 7 instead, since this is closer to the seventh day of the seventh month on the traditional lunar calendar. In those cases, Tanabata frequently carries over into Obon season. Originally started in China, Tanabata was brought to Japan in the Heian period, and was fused with local traditional customs to be- come an official event at the Imperial court. It was soon picked up by the common people, and adapted to fit each locality. Because of this, there are often different ways of celebrating Tanabata. One thing that remains consistent is the use of tanzaku (短冊), which are narrow, colored strips of paper people write their wishes on and then hang on bamboo branches. They then pray hard that their wishes will come true. Sometimes the bamboo and decorations are afloat on a river or burned after the festival concludes. You can learn more about the legend behind the festival at our JICC mini-exhibit until July 31. You can also write your own tan- zaku wish to hang up on our tanabata tree, or use the hashtag #JICCTanabata and we will write your wish for you! 1150 18TH STREET NW, SUITE 100 | WASHINGTON, DC 20036-3838 TEL: 202-238-6900 | FAX: 202-822-6524 | [email protected].

  • 1 the Royal Thai Navy's Theoretical Application of the Maritime Hybrid
    The Royal Thai Navy’s Theoretical Application of the Maritime Hybrid Warfare Concept by Hadrien T. Saperstein In the maritime strategic thought community there has been much talk about the theoretical application of the Maritime Hybrid Warfare concept by second and third-tier naval powers in the Northeast and Southeast Asia sub-regions.i On that theme, a recent publication on the Royal Thai Navy’s maritime and naval strategic thought concluded that the organisation stands at an existential crossroad with the advent of maritime hybrid threats in the grey-zone warfare era and should therefore consider operationalising the aforesaid multi-dimensional maritime concept to its organisational system and material capabilities.ii Since the publication released date though, this conclusion has only become more poignant in light of recent reports that China, a country that has applied the Maritime Hybrid Warfare since 2012,iii has signed a secret agreement giving it access to the Ream Naval Base in Cambodia.iv This newfound foothold at the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand puts a first-tier naval power – the People's Liberation Army Navy – now within striking distance to one of the Royal Thai Navy’s most important naval bases. In response to this event the following article analyses the manner by which the Royal Thai Navy, a second-tier naval power in the Southeast Asia sub-region, could theoretically operationalise the Maritime Hybrid Warfare concept in an effort to combat the soon-to-be present maritime hybrid threats in its internationally-recognised
