  • SAITO HAJIME/ Embracing Hiroshima
    EMBRACING HIROSHIMA Saito Hajime Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to examine an episode in John Hersey’s book Hiroshima (1946) and the occupational policy of General Headquarters (GHQ), the organization which administered the defeated land of Japan during the Occupied Era (1945-1952). It is John Dower and his readers that should be interested in the episode because in his seminal work, Embracing Defeat (1999), Dower touches on Hiroshima in terms of the GHQ’s censorship of Japanese writings about the atomic bombs dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What matters most in terms of the episode is that in 1951 the GHQ allowed copies of Hiroshima to be imported from the United States to be sold in Japan. In the same year some of Japan’s university professors were invited to teach it in their English classes. A controversy over the use of this work as a textbook arose among Japanese university teachers of English, and Rintaro Fukuhara and Takashi Nozaki exemplified these opinions. Their contrasting views on the text suggest the ways in which intellectuals or academics can or cannot cope under the pressure of a hegemonic cultural power.1 The purpose of this paper is to show an episode that John Dower, the author of Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II (1999), should be interested in. It examines John Hersey’s famous non-fiction book Hiroshima (1946), as well as the occupational policy of the General Headquarters (GHQ’s) SAITO HAJIME, Associate Professor, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Tsukuba (Japan).

  • Reemerging Political Geography in Japan
    Japanese Journal of Human Geography 64―6（2012） Reemerging Political Geography in Japan YAMAZAKI Takashi Osaka City University TAKAGI Akihiko Kyushu University KITAGAWA Shinya Mie University KAGAWA Yuichi The University of Shiga Prefecture Abstract The Political Geography Research Group （PGRG） of the Human Geographical Society of Japan was established in 2011 to promote political geographic studies in Japan. The PGRG is the very first research unit on political geography in the Society which was established in 1948. Political geography was once one of the weakest sub―fields in Japanese geography with a very limited number of scholars and published works. This, however, is not at all the case now. Political geography is a reemerging field in Japan. In this review paper, four of the PGRG members contribute chapters on general trends in Japanese political geography, legacies of Japanese wartime geopolitics, the introduction of “new geopolitics” into Japan, and geographical studies on environmental movements. All of them have confirmed with confidence that Japanese political geography has been reemerging and making steady progress in terms of theory, methodology, and case study since the 1980s. Although the current stage of Japanese political geography is still in the regenerative phase, they strongly believe that political geography should be firmly embedded in Japanese geography. Key words : political geography, Japanese geopolitics, new geopolitics, environmental movements, Japan I Introduction The Political Geography Research Group （PGRG） of the Human Geographical Society of Japan was established in 2011 to promote political geographic studies in Japan. The PGRG is the very first research unit on political geography in the Society which was established in 1948.

  • Multiple Interpretations of the Sannai Maruyama Site, Japan
    Chapter 7 Science or Narratives? Multiple Interpretations of the Sannai Maruyama Site, Japan Junko Habu and Clare Fawcett This paper examines the dynamic interaction between scholars, local residents and the mass media at the Sannai Maruyama site, Japan. Sannai Maruyama is an Early and Middle Jomon period site in Aomori Prefecture in northern Japan, dating to approximately 5900 to 4400 cal. B.P. The site was originally excavated as a salvage project by the prefectural board of education prior to the construction of a baseball stadium. This excavation unexpectedly revealed an extraordinarily large Jomon settlement: by the summer of 1994, more than 500 pit-dwellings had been recov- ered along with numerous other types of features. Following these discoveries, local residents formed a dedicated and effective preservation movement. As a result, in August 1994, the prefectural governor halted the construction of the sta- dium, and declared that the site should be preserved. Since then, it has been a major tourist attraction in Aomori Prefecture (Habu & Fawcett 1999). In this paper, we first outline our theoretical concerns and give a historical back- ground of the sociopolitical context of archaeology in modern Japan. We then pro- vide an overview of the Sannai Maruyama site excavation and preservation movement, and analyze research strategies adopted by local archaeologists as well as their outreach efforts. In particular, we emphasize the importance of the actions of local archaeologists and residents in encouraging multiple interpretations of the site. Our analysis also highlights the complex historical, political, and social contexts in which these multiple interpretations have been formed, presented, and evaluated.

  • Completion of Construction of the Tochigi Line
    1 November 2005 Completion of construction of the Tochigi Line Public Relations Department Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. (Mr. Norio Ichino, President) recently completed construction of the Tochigi Line, a trunk pipeline with an extended length of about 69.4km, linking the cities of Sano and Utsunomiya in Tochigi Prefecture. We began to construct this trunk pipeline in January 2002 in order to assure the stability of supply to our Utsunomiya service branch and meet the mainly industrial demand for gas along the route. Upon its completion, we placed the pipeline into service today. ■Construction background and course We began supplying city gas made from liquefied natural gas (LNG) to our Utsunomiya service branch after opening the Kumagaya-Sano Line (a trunk pipeline with an extended length of 41.8km, linking the cities of Kumagaya in Saitama Prefecture and Sano in Tochigi Prefecture) in October 2004. Nevertheless, we decided to construct the Tochigi Line in light of the spreading urbanization in the Utsunomiya service branch service area and its periphery; growing demand, mainly among commercial and industrial enterprises taking environmental measures; the need to assure supply stability through a double system of lines; and the demand associated with the Kiyohara and Moka industrial estates, promising sites along the route for buildup of industrial demand. We are promoting construction of the Chuo Line and other lines for the further expansion of our network of trunk transportation pipelines. ■Outline of the trunk pipeline
