  • HIRATA KOKUGAKU and the TSUGARU DISCIPLES by Gideon
    SPIRITS AND IDENTITY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY NORTHEASTERN JAPAN: HIRATA KOKUGAKU AND THE TSUGARU DISCIPLES by Gideon Fujiwara A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2013 © Gideon Fujiwara, 2013 ABSTRACT While previous research on kokugaku , or nativism, has explained how intellectuals imagined the singular community of Japan, this study sheds light on how posthumous disciples of Hirata Atsutane based in Tsugaru juxtaposed two “countries”—their native Tsugaru and Imperial Japan—as they transitioned from early modern to modern society in the nineteenth century. This new perspective recognizes the multiplicity of community in “Japan,” which encompasses the domain, multiple levels of statehood, and “nation,” as uncovered in recent scholarship. My analysis accentuates the shared concerns of Atsutane and the Tsugaru nativists toward spirits and the spiritual realm, ethnographic studies of commoners, identification with the north, and religious thought and worship. I chronicle the formation of this scholarly community through their correspondence with the head academy in Edo (later Tokyo), and identify their autonomous character. Hirao Rosen conducted ethnography of Tsugaru and the “world” through visiting the northern island of Ezo in 1855, and observing Americans, Europeans, and Qing Chinese stationed there. I show how Rosen engaged in self-orientation and utilized Hirata nativist theory to locate Tsugaru within the spiritual landscape of Imperial Japan. Through poetry and prose, leader Tsuruya Ariyo identified Mount Iwaki as a sacred pillar of Tsugaru, and insisted one could experience “enjoyment” from this life and beyond death in the realm of spirits.

  • Nord-Honshū (Tōhoku)
    TM Nord-Honshū (Tōhoku) Tōhoku Vorwort Selbst Besuchern, die schon in Japan waren, ist die Region Tōhoku, die den nördlichen Teil der Hauptinsel Honshū umfasst, oft gänzlich unbekannt. Dabei findet man hier all das, was Japan so faszinierend macht, und zudem ohne Besuchermassen. Bis vor kurzem war der Norden Honshūs tatsächlich schwierig zu bereisen – die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel waren nicht so gut ausgebaut wie im südlichen Teil von Honshū, und auch die englisch- sprachige Ausschilderung ließ noch zu wünschen übrig. Dies alles ist nun im Vorfeld der Olympischen Sommerspiele in Tokio 2020 in Angriff genommen worden. Tōhoku begeistert mit großartigen Landschaften wie den Heiligen Drei Bergen Dewa San- zan in Yamagata, der berühmten Bucht von Matsushima nahe der Stadt Sendai, oder mit der Mondlandschaft um den Vulkan Osorezan. Für kulturell Interessierte bieten die UNESCO Weltkulturerbe-Stätten von Hiraizumi einen Einblick in vergangene Feudalzei- ten. Zahlreiche Feste wie das berühmte Nebuta Matsuri in Aomori oder das Reiter-Festi- val Soma Nomaoi locken jedes Jahr zigtausende Besucher in die Region. FASZINIEREND — BUNT — JAPAN Kurz: es gibt hier Vieles zu entdecken in einer bisher wenig besuchten Region Japans. Das findet inzwischen auch Lonely Planet: für das Jahr 2020 steht Tōhoku an dritter Stelle WIR FLIEGEN SIE HIN! unter den vom Lonely Planet an Top 10 gesetzten Regionen weltweit. Mit diesem Booklet möchten wir Ihren Appetit wecken – schauen Sie selbst, was Tōhoku Ihnen alles zu bieten GOEntdecken Sie Japans viele Facetten und tauchen Sie hat! ein in unvergessliche Erlebnisse.

  • Annual Availability of Forest Biomass Resources for Woody Biomass Power Generation Plants from Subcompartments and Aggregated Forests in Tohoku Region of Japan
    Article Annual Availability of Forest Biomass Resources for Woody Biomass Power Generation Plants from Subcompartments and Aggregated Forests in Tohoku Region of Japan Yusuke Matsuoka 1, Hiroaki Shirasawa 2, Uichi Hayashi 1 and Kazuhiro Aruga 1,* 1 Department of Forest Science, Utsunomiya University, Tochigi 321-8505, Japan; [email protected] (Y.M.); [email protected] (U.H.) 2 Department of Forest Engineering, Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute, Ibaraki 305-8687, Japan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: To utilize timber and forest biomass resources for bioenergy, technically feasible and economically viable timber and forest biomass resources should be estimated accurately considering their long-term availability. This study focuses on five prefectures, namely, Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Akita, and Yamagata, and considers trade between these prefectures. The annual availability of timber and forest biomass resources, such as small-diameter or defect stem logs, rather than logging residues in Japan was estimated as supply potential from profitable forests where expected revenues surpassed all costs, from planting to final harvest. As a result, the supply potential and annual availability of timber were estimated at 11,388,960 m3/year and 1,631,624 m3/year, whereas those of forest biomass resources were estimated at 2,277,792 m3/year and 326,325 m3/year, respectively. Therefore, the rate of annual availability to supply potential was 14.3%.
