  • Japanese Monetary Policy and the Yen: Is There a “Currency War”? Robert Dekle and Koichi Hamada
    Japanese Monetary Policy and the Yen: Is there a “Currency War”? Robert Dekle and Koichi Hamada Department of Economics USC Department of Economics Yale University April 2014 Very Preliminary Please do not cite or quote without the authors’ permission. All opinions expressed in this paper are strictly those of the authors and should not necessarily be attributed to any organizations the authors are affiliated with. We thank seminar participants at the University of San Francisco, the Development Bank of Japan, and the Policy Research Institute of the Japanese Ministry of Finance for helpful comments. Abstract The Japanese currency has recently weakened past 100 yen to the dollar, leading to some criticism that Japan is engaging in a “currency war.” The reason for the recent depreciation of the yen is the expecta- tion of higher inflation in Japan, owing to the rapid projected growth in Japanese base money, the sum of currency and commercial banking reserves at the Bank of Japan. Hamada (1985) and Hamada and Okada (2009) among others argue that in general, the expansion of the money supply or the credible an- nouncement of a higher inflation target does not necessarily constitute a “currency war”. We show through our empirical analysis that expan- sionary Japanese monetary policies have generally helped raise U.S. GDP, despite the appreciation of the dollar. 1 Introduction.

Of Mice and Maidens: Ideologies of Interspecies Romance in Late Medieval and Early Modern Japan Abstract Interspecies marriage (irui kon'in) has long been a central theme in Japanese literature and folklore. Frequently dismissed as fairytales, stories of interspecies marriage illuminate contemporaneous conceptions of the animal-human boundary and the anxieties surrounding it. This dissertation contributes to the emerging field of animal studies yb examining otogizoshi (Muromachi/early Edo illustrated narrative fiction) concerning elationshipsr between human women and male mice. The earliest of these is Nezumi no soshi ("The Tale of the Mouse"), a fifteenth century ko-e ("small scroll") attributed to court painter Tosa Mitsunobu. Nezumi no soshi was followed roughly a century later by a group of tales collectively named after their protagonist, the mouse Gon no Kami. Unlike Nezumi no soshi, which focuses on the grief of the woman who has unwittingly married a mouse, the Gon no Kami tales contain pronounced comic elements and devote attention to the mouse-groom's perspective.

It focuses mainly on painting and graphic arts, and selected aspects of photography, design and architecture. Appropriation from Japanese sources triggered the articulation of new visual and conceptual languages which helped forge new art and art educational paradigms that would define the modern age. Starting with Polish fin-de-siècle Japonisme, it examines the role of Western European artistic centres, mainly Paris, in the initial dissemination of Japonisme in Poland, and considers the exceptional case of Julian Żałat, who had first-hand experience of Japan. The second phase of Polish Japonisme (1901-1918) was nourished on local, mostly Cracovian, infrastructure put in place by the ‘godfather’ of Polish Japonisme Żeliks Manggha Jasieski. His pro-Japonisme agency is discussed at length.

  • Money in Modern Japan
    Money in Modern Japan Japan is one of the oldest states in the world: in over 2000 years the island nation has slowly and continuously developed culturally, socially, politically and economically into the country that it is today. It is characteristic that Japan never fell under the domination of a foreign power during this time – not until after World War II, however, when it was occupied by the Americans for some years (1945- 1952). That does not mean, of course, that no external influences were adopted. On the contrary: until the end of the Japanese Middle Ages (about 1200-1600), Japan was completely geared towards its great neighbor China. From there it adopted cultural, political and economic achievements, among them also money. Well into the 16th century, the Japanese cast coins following Chinese models. In addition, masses of cash coins (ch'ien) imported from China were in circulation. With the beginning of modern times around 1600, a radical turn around took place. Under the government of the Tokugawa shoguns (the Edo period, 1603-1867) the island nation cut itself off almost completely from the outside world. In this time an independent Japanese culture evolved – and a coinage system of its own, whose principal feature was the simultaneous circulation of a gold and a silver currency. 1 von 12 www.sunflower.ch Japanese Empire, Edo Period, Shogun Tokugawa Ietsugu (1712-1716), Kobankin 1714, Edo Denomination: Kobankin Mint Authority: Shogun Tokugawa Ietsugu Mint: Edo (Tokyo) Year of Issue: 1714 Weight (g): 17.8 Diameter (mm): 69.5 Material: Gold Owner: Deutsche Bundesbank Japan was united towards the end of the 16th century after long years of civil war.

  • Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre
    Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre Thomas Gaubatz Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Thomas Gaubatz All rights reserved ABSTRACT Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre Thomas Gaubatz This dissertation examines the ways in which the narrative fiction of early modern (1600- 1868) Japan constructed urban identity and explored its possibilities. I orient my study around the social category of chōnin (“townsman” or “urban commoner”)—one of the central categories of the early modern system of administration by status group (mibun)—but my concerns are equally with the diversity that this term often tends to obscure: tensions and stratifications within the category of chōnin itself, career trajectories that straddle its boundaries, performative forms of urban culture that circulate between commoner and warrior society, and the possibility (and occasional necessity) of movement between chōnin society and the urban poor. Examining a range of genres from the late 17th to early 19th century, I argue that popular fiction responded to ambiguities, contradictions, and tensions within urban society, acting as a discursive space where the boundaries of chōnin identity could be playfully probed, challenged, and reconfigured, and new or alternative social roles could be articulated. The emergence of the chōnin is one of the central themes in the sociocultural history of early modern Japan, and modern scholars have frequently characterized the literature this period as “the literature of the chōnin.” But such approaches, which are largely determined by Western models of sociocultural history, fail to apprehend the local specificity and complexity of status group as a form of social organization: the chōnin, standing in for the Western bourgeoisie, become a unified and monolithic social body defined primarily in terms of politicized opposition to the ruling warrior class.
