  • Joseph Heco and the Origin of Japanese Journalism*
    Journalism and Mass Communication, Mar.-Apr. 2020, Vol. 10, No. 2, 89-101 doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2020.02.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Joseph Heco and the Origin of Japanese Journalism* WANG Hai, YU Qian, LIANG Wei-ping Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Joseph Heco, with the original Japanese name of Hamada Hikozo, played an active role in the diplomatic, economic, trade, and cultural interactions between the United States and Japan in the 1850s and 1860s. Being rescued from a shipwreck by an American freighter and taken to San Francisco in the 1850s, Heco had the chance to experience the advanced industrial civilization. After returning to Japan, he followed the example of the U.S. newspapers to start the first Japanese newspaper Kaigai Shimbun (Overseas News), introducing Western ideas into Japan and enabling Japanese people under the rule of the Edo bakufu/shogunate to learn about the great changes taking place outside the island. In the light of the historical background of the United States forcing Japan to open up, this paper expounds on Joseph Heco’s life experience and Kaigai Shimbun, the newspaper he founded, aiming to explain how Heco, as the “father of Japanese journalism”, promoted the development of Japanese newspaper industry. Keywords: Joseph Heco (Hamada Hikozo), Kaigai Shimbun, origin of Japanese journalism Early Japanese newspapers originated from the “kawaraban” (瓦版) at the beginning of the 17th century. In 1615, this embryonic form of newspapers first appeared in the streets of Osaka. This single-sided leaflet-like thing was printed irregularly and was made by printing on paper with tiles which was carved with pictures and words and then fired and shaped.

  • 4 Analyse Des Bildes Der Bösartigen Alten Frauen in Der
    4 Analyse des Bildes der bösartigen alten Frauen in der Edo- zeitlichen Trivialkultur 4.1 Allgemeine Charakteristika der trivialen Kulturproduktion 4.1.1 Inhalte und Darstellungsweisen: Fantastik, Zerstückelung, Sensa- tionslust, und ihr problematischer Realitätsbezug Kehren wir nun zu den Edo-zeitlichen Abwandlungen des Themas zurück, so muss zunächst gesagt werden, dass jene Genres der bürgerli- chen Kultur, der die in Kapitel 2 beschriebenen Werke mit ihren Figu- ren bösartiger, mörderischer alter Frauen zuzurechnen sind – sei es das weite Feld der Holzschnitte, die Heftchen-Literatur oder das Kabuki- und Puppentheater –, von der Forschung bislang nur unzureichend be- rücksichtigt worden sind, zumal was ihre Inhalte und Bezüge zur sozia- len Realität betrifft. Zwar sind Kabuki und Bunraku als Theaterformen Teil der Weltkultur geworden und haben, was Darstellungstechniken betrifft, westliche Theatermacher auf der Suche nach Auswegen aus einer gewissen Sackgasse beeinflusst, in die zu viel Realismus und Sachlichkeit das europäische Theater geführt zu haben schienen. Doch richtet sich dieses Interesse auf Aufführungspraxis und Ästhetik beider unterschiedlicher, wenn auch einander nahe stehender Gattungen. Inhaltliche Untersuchungen waren und bleiben eher selten, denn, wie es Faubion Bowers 1956 formulierte, kursieren vorwiegend zwei Mei- nungen über das Kabuki: „die eine, die der westlichen Besucher, lautet, dass der Inhalt nicht wichtig ist, weil Kabuki vor allem ein Spektakel ist; die andere, meist von Japanern geäußerte, besagt, dass

  • Recipe Books in North America
    Greetings How have Japanese foods changed between generations of Nikkei since they first arrived in their adopted countries from Japan? On behalf of the Kikkoman Institute for International Food Culture (KIIFC), Mr. Shigeru Kojima of the Advanced Research Center for Human Sciences, Waseda University, set out to answer this question. From 2015 to 2018, Mr. Kojima investigated recipe books and conducted interviews in areas populated by Japanese immigrants, particularly in Brazil and North American, including Hawaii. His research results on Brazil were published in 2017 in Food Culture No. 27. In this continuation of the series, he focuses on North America. With the long history of Japanese immigration to North America, as well as Nikkei internments during WWII, the researcher had some concerns as to how many recipe books could be collected. Thanks to Mr. Kojima’s two intensive research trips, the results were better than expected. At a time of increasing digitization in publishing, we believe this research is both timely and a great aid in preserving historical materials. We expect these accumulated historical materials will be utilized for other research in the future. The KIIFC will continue to promote activities that help the public gain a deeper understanding of diverse cultures through the exploration of food culture. CONTENTS Feature Recipe Books in North America 3 Introduction Recipe Books Published by Buddhist Associations and Other Religious Groups 10 Recipe Books Published by Nikkei Associations (Excluding Religious Associations) 13 Mobile Kitchen Recipe Books 15 Recipe Books Published by Public Markets and Others 17 Books of Japanese Recipes as Ethnic Cuisine 20 Recipe Books as Handbooks for Living in Different Cultures 21 Hand-written Recipe Books 22 Summary Shigeru Kojima A research fellow at the Advanced Research Center for Human Sciences, Waseda University, Shigeru Kojima was born in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture.

  • Observations of the First Japanese to Land in Hawai'i
    HIDETO KONO KAZUKO SINOTO Observations of the First Japanese to Land in Hawai'i HIRAHARA ZENMATSU WAS A JAPANESE SEAMAN who lived among the people of the island of O'ahu for about three and a half months in 1806. Zenmatsu was a native of the province of Aki, now Hiroshima prefecture, during the reign of the Tokugawa feudal government (1603—1867). He and seven others aboard the Inawaka-maru, a small Japanese cargo ship, were shipwrecked off Japan and remained adrift in the Pacific for more than seventy days.1 An American trading ves- sel, the Tabour, sailing eastward in the northern Pacific on her return voyage from China, rescued the emaciated crew of the Inawaka-maru and deposited them on O'ahu on May 5, 1806. There they remained until August 17, when they departed from the island with the hope of returning to Japan. This essay is based on the official record of Zenmatsu's testimony compiled in a document titled Iban Hyoryu Kikokuroku.2 The testimony was given at the time Zenmatsu was summoned by Lord Asano of Hiroshima after he had finally returned to his homeland on Novem- ber 29, 1807. This occurred six months after his arrival in Nagasaki, where he was severely interrogated by officials of the bakufu (shogu- nate government). Hideto Kono and Kazuko Sinoto are members of the Joseph Heco Society of Hawai'i, which was organized in 1991 to undertake research on records of Japanese who touched the shores of Hawai'i prior to 1868, when the first group of Japanese was brought to the Islands to work on the sugar plantations.

[ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] PLATE 1. BIRD's-EYE VIEW OF THE CITY OF YEDO, AS IT APPEARED IN 1863. The narrative of a Japanese; what he has seen and the people he has met in the course of the last forty years. By Joseph Heco. Edited by James Murdoch http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.112 I. August 4th. This morning the U.S. Consulate was found to be minus its national coat-of-arms over the gate-way. This seemed to ruffle the worthy Consul very considerably. He at once issued a notice offering a reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the thief who had been tampering with Uncle Sam's fowl-yard. But all to no purpose,—for what really became of that American Eagle remains a mystery even unto this day. On August 6th the English fleet under Admiral Kupper steamed out of the bay in line. It was said to be bound for Kagoshima, Satsuma's Capital, to exact reparation from that Daimio for the outrage committed by his men at Namamugi on the Tokaido in September, 1862. August 8th. The foreign representatives were notified by the Shogun's Government that Ogasawara, Dzosho-no-kami had been released from his membership of the Gorojiu.
