ToTo thethe worldworld ofof aancientncient romanceromance Yamanobe-no-michi, or Yamanobe Road, is an ancient road connecting Miwa and Nara. Three government roads created in the beginning of the 7th century and called Upper, Middle, and Lower roads run from north to south in the Yamato basin. Yamanobe Road extends north from Mt. Miwa further to the east from the Upper road, curving gently through the foothills. Although it's not possible to exactly trace the road's history, it is believed to have started from Tsubaichi, a marketplace famous in traditional courtship songs, and continue through Miwa, tomb of emperors Keiko and Sujin, and then northward from Isonokami-jingu shrine. Much of the road is designated as part of the Tokai Nature Trail. It runs for 12km from Kanaya in Sakurai to Isonokami shrine in Tenri, providing well-kept glimpses of the past and conveying the spirit of the ancient poems.

  • Controlling Factor on Evolution of Late Pleistocene to Holocene Sequences in Nara Basin
    HGM22-P03 Room:Poster Time:April 30 18:15-19:30 Controlling factor on evolution of late Pleistocene to Holocene sequences in Nara Basin HORI, Kazuaki1¤ ; ITO, Nobuaki1 ; TAKADA, Masashi2 1Department of Geography, Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Nagoya University, 2Department of History, Sociology and Geography, Faculty of Letters, Nara Women’s University Many researches on late Pleistocene to Holocene sequences (Chuseki-so) have been carried out in coastal lowlands. In contrast, stratigraphy and evolution of alluvial plain located above the coastal lowlands is less well known. We focus on Nara Basin to clarify stratigraphy and evolution of alluvial plain. Two borehole cores (MK1, MK2) were taken at Matsukasa, Yamatokoriyama city located in the middle part of the basin. Sedimentary facies analysis and AMS radiocarbon dating were performed. Stratigraphy of late Pleistocene and Holocene deposits was built by analyzing existing borehole columns and radiocarbon ages. Additionally, an incised valley formed beneath the Kawachi Plain located near the Old Yamato river mouth during the sea-level lowstand was reconstructed by analyzing existing borehole logs. Sediment accumulation rate of the basin mainly during the last two millennia was estimated from depth of remains shown in archaeological reports published by Archaeological Institute of Kashihara, Nara prefecture. Radiocarbon ages obtained from the cores suggest that thickness of Holocene deposits is less than approximately 3 m and they have mainly accumulated after 2,000 cal BP. The timing is not related to sea-level change of Osaka Bay. Sea-level change would affect change of river-bed gradient at Kawachi Plain near the river mouth.

  • The “Separation of Gods and Buddhas” at Omiwa Shrine in Meiji Japan
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1995 22/1-2 The “Separation of Gods and Buddhas” at Omiwa Shrine in Meiji Japan Klaus A ntoni The development of Shinto during the Meiji period constitutes one of the most fascinating phenomena of modern Japanese history, especially in view of the far-reaching effect that the State Shinto of the late Meiji period had on many aspects of Japanese life. But although the nature of Meiji- period Shinto has been widely researched, far less attention has been direct­ ed to the genesis of the movement as an intellectual, political, and reli­ gious force. Since many of the keys for understanding the later development of State Shinto are found in the years of the Meiji Restoration, research on this period——which could be called the shinbutsu bunri (separation of gods and Buddhas) period— is essential if we are to comprehend the fu ll significance of the Shinto movement. The term shinbutsu bunri refers to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism (actually the expulsion of Buddhism from syncretic Shinto- Buddhist sanctuaries) that occurred from the spring of 1868. This separa­ tion was one of the central events in the formation of modern Japanese Shinto. The present article analyzes the events of the shinbutsu bunri period at one of Japan’s most important shrines, Omiwa Jinja in Nara Prefecture. The events connected with this shrine from 1868 to the early 1870s provide an interesting reflection of what happened to religious insti­ tutions throughout Japan during that period. The Nara Basin is sure to impress anyone traveling through its thickly settled plains as a region of deep historic significance.

  • THE POETRY of AIZU YAICHI the Eighteenth Century Philologist
    CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO THE POETRY OF AIZU YAICHI The eighteenth century philologist Motoori Norinaga (1730–1801) points out that “Yamato” was originally the name of a province (Yamato no kuni) in what is known today as the Nara basin of the Kansai region. Only after the mythical Emperor Jinmu (660–585 B.C.) established his capital in Kashiwara no Miya and other emperors fol- lowed suite in establishing their capitals in the Yamato province, did Yamato come to be used as a general name for the whole country.1 The relationship established between Jinmu, the alleged first human emperor, and Yamato was sufficient to endow this region with a myth- ical aura; and it made Yamato the cradle of Japanese culture. Many classical texts could easily be summoned as proof of the sacredness of Yamato, beginning with the eighth-century Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan, 720), which takes the construction of the Kashiwara capital in Yamato (Yamato no kuni Kashiwara no Miya) to mark the end of a period of uncertainty and unsettledness in Japanese history. In other words, ancient records set up Yamato as the original signifier of political and social fullness (culture). Subsequent emperors, such as Shōmu (701–756), would issue edicts to find appropriate Chinese characters for writing the name “Yamato,” which by then had become the sign for the whole country, as the Shoku Nihongi (Chronicles of Japan, Continued, 797) attests. This information was readily available to eighteenth-century readers of the Yamato Meisho Zue (Illustrated Description of Illustrious Places in Yamato), a guide to the Yamato region by Uemura Ugen (d.

    Overview: Japanese Archaeological Research Trends 20071 Nishitani Tadashi2 Introduction The results of investigations and research regarding Japanese archaeology in the 2007 FY (Fiscal Year) are as voluminous as ever, and tracing out trends within them can only be called an extremely difficult task. Under these conditions of the field, researchers from various areas of specialization give detailed treatments, period by period, in the sections that follow.3 In light of this, the current author hopes for indulgence as he takes up various topics according to his personal interests, and focuses on information obtained from news reports in the mass media. 1. Paleolithic period Takaharayama4 is a mountain ridge of some 1,400 m elevation in Tochigi prefecture, where obsidian source sites were discovered in 2005. When a full-scale investigation was conducted in 2006 as a result, it was reported in April of this year, several hundred stone tools were recovered at the rock face of a stream, including four trapezoidal tools estimated as dating from the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic. Signs of steady progress in the study of Paleolithic culture can be discerned in various contributions, including: Zemināru kyūsekki kōkogaku 1 [Trends in Japanese Archaeological Research, 2007, is a partial translation of “Nihon kōkogaku kenkyū no dōkō” 日本考古学研究の動向, in Nihon kōkogaku nenpō 60 (2007 nendoban) 日本考古学年報 60（2007 年度版) (Archaeologia Japonica 60 [2007 Fiscal Year Issue]) (Nihon Kōkogaku Kyōkai, 2009), pp. 1-68.

Introduction For the research to prevent natural disasters of a district such as landslides and earthquakes, it is necessary to know the geology of this distrct, and it is useful to understand the physical growth or geological history of the district. In this sense the writer intends to try to write the Cainozoic* geological history of the Kinki district in the central part of which our city Kyoto is situated. The Kinki district is located in a western central part of Japan, its area and population being about 33,000 km2 and 15,500,000 respectively. The Kinki district is one of the most densely populated districts of Japan. In this district there are three large cities of over one million inhabitants, i.e. Kyoto (1,220,000), Osaka (3,012,000) and Kobe (1,114,000). The Kinki district occupies the western central part of Honshu, extending between 35°45' N and 33°27' N and between 134°12' E and 136°55' E. The Kinki faces the Japan Sea on the north side and the Pacific on the south. Since the end of the World War II the resarch of the Cainozoic of the Kinki district has been very actively carried out by many geologists, new scientific data having much accumulated.

  • Historical Geography in Japan Since 1980
    Japanese Journal of Human Geography 65―1（2013） Historical Geography in Japan since 1980 ONODA Kazuyuki Kobe City Museum MIYAMOTO Shinji Okayama University of Science FUJITA Hirotsugu Kobe University KOMEIE Taisaku Kyoto University KAWAHARA Norifumi Ritsumeikan University KAWAGUCHI Hiroshi Tezukayama University Abstract This paper reviews major achievements of Japanese historical geography, history of cartography, and historical GIS since 1980. We can obtain fruitful research results in the three realms of historical geography - “real world”, “imagined world”, and “abstract world” - as defined by H. C. Prince. In “real world”, reconstruction of landscapes and regional structure has been a basic subject. Modern historical geography established itself as a key platform to connect the past and the present world. There are two major new currents in this field : environmental history and interdisciplinary communication. Geographers, historians and archaeologists increasingly share resources and methodologies in historical geography to carry out interdisciplinary studies. As of 1980, some geographers started to study historical maps in “imagined world”, in order to understand the cosmology of people in the past. Since the beginning of the 21st century, research works with historical GIS have well started in “abstract world”, which will play a key role to integrate the results of individual research in the humanities and social sciences, including historical geography.

  • Satsuma No.11 Tumulus: Its Historical Context and Significance
    Satsuma No.11 tumulus: its historical context and significance KITAYAMA Mineo1 ABSTRACT The Satsuma No.11 tumulus, located in Takatori town in the southern part of the Nara Basin, is a burial mound of the Early Kofun period (the fourth century AD). The excavation of this tumulus in 2007 (January-March) by the Archaeological Institute of Kashihara, Nara prefecture, revealed two burial facilities on the rectangular platform of the burial mound yielding various grave goods that demonstrate the social status of the persons buried in the tumulus. As a result of excavation and analysis of finds, it is argued that the tumulus reflects social structure in the fourth century AD. KEYWORDS: keyhole-shaped tumulus, grave goods, social organisation, Kofun period, Japan Introduction and the location of the tumulus The Satsuma No.11 tumulus is located in the Satsuma area of Takatori town, in the north of Nara prefecture in the southern part of the Nara Basin (Figure 1, Plate 1). The tumulus stands on a hilltop that overlooks an alluvial fan. The height from the base to the top of the hill is about 6m. The burial mound has its main axis from north to south, and its rectangular platform faces north Figure 1. Position of Satsuma No. 11 tumulus towards the end of the hill. The tumulus looks over an alluvial fan created by the Matsuyama-gawa River and the Kibi-gawa River. Mount Hiburi is situated to the north of the hill on which the tumulus stands.

This time round I wanted to do a feature on Sakurai City`s “Head Temple: Hasedera”, a lovely place with various flowers that you can enjoy all year round, “Haseji”, an eatery with strong historical ties and many cultural properties, where you can easily relax and enjoy Matcha tea and food and Tenri City`s “Tenri Station CoFuFun Square”, a complex situated in front of the station. Head Temple: Hasedera - A temple with various flowers that you can enjoy all year round Hasedera Temple with its long history possesses many different kinds of flowers that all bloom at different times during the year. Many people come to Hasedera Temple for worship and to look at these flowers. It`s a 20 minute walk along the path from Kintetsu Hasedera Station to Hasedera Temple. In front of your very eyes you can marvel at the sight of the blooming cherry blossoms, which are there to greet you.
