Seven Weeks on the Henro Michi Steps Along the Shikoku Island 88 Temple Pilgrimage Marc Pearl
Seven Weeks on the Henro Michi Steps along the Shikoku Island 88 Temple Pilgrimage Marc Pearl The Settai Offering (Temples #7- #11) The Settai Offering is a fundamental aspect of the Henro Pilgrim experience. Offerings and services of all kinds are given to the Pilgrim as he makes his way along the island paths. Meals, snacks and cups of tea, items necessary to the Henro such as incense sticks and candles and coins, as well as places to spend the night, are donated by the kind people of Shikoku. Although the Henro is a stranger traveling but briefly through the neighborhood, he is greeted as a friend, and invited to sit on the veranda or inside the front genkan entrance, leaving the hot sun and dusty road for some moments to relax and share a few words. During my second day of walking, between Temples #7 and #8, I got caught in a gentle sunshower, so I stood under the eaves of a house alongside the road. From the open doorway of the genkan, a grandmother motioned me inside. We sat quietly and drank green tea and nibbled some crackers while we watched the rain and talked about the Pilgrimage. In Spring and Summer there are a lot of chartered buses whizzing by her door, she told me. In the fall, it was calmer. She doesn’t see very many walking pilgrims nowadays, not like the old days after the war when, for a lack of jobs or anything else to do, many people would do the Pilgrimage, before they had cars or those fancy taxis and buses. -

Consuming Nostalgia in a Bowl of Noodle Soup at the Shin Yokohama Rāmen Museum
ISSN: 1500-0713 ______________________________________________________________ Article Title: Consuming Nostalgia in a Bowl of Noodle Soup at the Shin Yokohama Rāmen Museum Author(s): Satomi Fukutomi Source: Japanese Studies Review, Vol. XVII (2013), pp. 51 – 69 Stable URL: https://asian.fiu.edu/projects-and-grants/japan-studies- review/journal-archive/volume-xvii-2013/fukutomi-consuming- nostalgia.pdf ______________________________________________________________ CONSUMING NOSTALGIA IN A BOWL OF NOODLE SOUP AT THE SHIN YOKOHAMA RĀMEN MUSEUM Satomi Fukutomi University of St. Thomas Welcome to the year Shōwa 33 (1958). Our museum brings you back to your childhood. In this reconstructed town from the past, you can enjoy regional variations of rāmen and recover something that was lost during the rapid postwar economic development.1 In the wake of the collapse of Japan’s economic bubble in the early 1990s, nostalgia for a specific era began to suffuse Japanese consumer culture. In 1994, the Shin Yokohama Rāmen Museum (SRM) opened to aid the development of Shin Yokohama, a relatively new business center outside of Tokyo.2 The SRM is a site that “sells” nostalgia for the Shōwa 30s (1955-1964) and the Japanese hometown, or furusato. The museum’s curator, Iwaoka Yoji, creates this nostalgia via the “national dish” of rāmen. Rāmen, a noodle soup of Chinese origin, is widely available throughout Japan as fast food for the masses. While rāmen’s distinctive features of commonplace and foreign origins are often excluded from nationalistic narratives, these characteristics are an integral part of how rāmen has become a nostalgic object and even a national symbol in the museum. -

Place-Making Under Japan's Neoliberal Regime: Ethics, Locality, and Community in Rural Hokkaido by Cheng-Heng Chang Dissertati
PLACE-MAKING UNDER JAPAN’S NEOLIBERAL REGIME: ETHICS, LOCALITY, AND COMMUNITY IN RURAL HOKKAIDO BY CHENG-HENG CHANG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Zsuzsa Gille, Chair Associate Professor Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi Assistant Professor Markus S. Schulz Associate Professor Kristen Schultz Lee, University at Buffalo, SUNY ABSTRACT How should people live in rural Japan today? And how can they live together in declining communities? As counter-urbanization and the trend of rural revitalization have become a major scene of cultural politics in contemporary Japan, these fundamental questions become more and more important. To respond to the puzzle, it is necessary to re-conceptualize community for the sake of capturing the changing nature of rural society and delineating the current configuration of rural communities. Rather than viewing the countryside as a construct of urban consumerism, the active role and subjective meaning of local advocates of rural revitalization require systematic study. Only with a better understanding of rural community can researchers make a fair evaluation of the practices of place-making in Japan today. To answer the questions, I conducted a yearlong fieldwork on a rural revitalization project called the BVP in a rural town of Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan. A local non-profit organization, the ODC, sponsors this project, which aims to recruit retired urbanites to settle in their depopulated town to practice pesticide-free farming. During my residency in Hokkaido, I did participant observation in the activities and events of the BVP, and followed the daily practices of the major participants. -

Stakeholders in Kyoto’s agricultural and food sector have sought to minimize the negative impacts of globalization not by trying to close their borders or enact rules that strictly define and demarcate Kyoto’s food culture as separate, pure, and resistant to change but rather by allowing for the development of multiple place brands that can help better position Kyoto’s agriculture and food industry on the global stage. -
A Simple Bowl of Tea: Power Politics and Aesthetics in Hideyoshi's Japan, 1582-1591
Dublin Gastronomy Symposium 2018 – Food and Power A Simple Bowl of Tea: Power Politics and Aesthetics in Hideyoshi’s Japan, 1582–1591 Cathy Kaufman Abstract: The traditional Japanese tea gathering, or Hideyoshi entertained with sake.3 So why choose tea to chanoyu, embodies the Zen values of respect, harmony, mark this important occasion? Because chanoyu offered purity, and tranquility, expressed through a rigorously- unique opportunities during the concluding years of the scripted, and now largely feminized, ritual. Although it Warring States Period (ca. 1467–1603) to express the host’s seems far removed from centres of political power, it was sophistication, social standing, and, in Hideyoshi’s case, brilliantly put to political ends in Japan’s Warring States political legitimacy. Hideyoshi’s 1582 tea gathering was the Period (ca. 1467–1603) by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, son of a first among many designed to convince key actors in peasant, who, through palace intrigues and military Japanese society to accept him as the de facto ruler of prowess, helped unify Japan, becoming its de facto ruler. A Japan. Although the practice of tea had become a regular crucial step in Hideyoshi’s consolidation of power was his activity among much of Japan’s daimyō and merchant series of tea gatherings, in which he demonstrated cultural classes, hosting a chanoyu was risky; the performance was favour that translated into political dominance. Assisting judged by the guests/audience, and a poor performance Hideyoshi was the tea master Sen Rikyū. This paper would undermine, rather than reinforce, the host’s status. explores how Hideyoshi and Rikyū used tea gatherings as Hideyoshi knew that he needed help to use tea effectively: part of the political and military strategy of the time. -
