THE JAPAN DATABASE RESOURCES ON JAPAN FOR K-I2 EDUCATION BY FRED CZARRA THE COUNCIL OF_CHIEF STATE SCHOOL OFFICERS _379_HALL OF THE STATES 400 NORTH CAPITOL STREET WASHINGTON, DC 20001 1986 FOREWORD In her classical anthropological study of the Japan-6Se, The Chrysanthemum and the SVord, Ruth Benedictwrote of "giri"--the concept of obligation. "Giri" takes many fOtMS such as duties to family Or tb him-relatedpersons, but in the Main, it means paying debts or obligationsto the WOrld. The Council of Chief State Sdhool Officers viewsthis guide and the Japan Database projectas a form of "giti," designed to educate the states and territories aboutthe people of Japan. This sense of obligation is specifically directed to the Japan=U.S. FriendShip Commission. This commiSSioh haS been responsible for not only fundingthiS project but also; for many years, asSiStihgthe Chief State SChobl Offiders by providing funds forexchanges with the Japanese; These programs have allowed many Chief state Sdh6o1 Officers to learn aboutJapan and to share this privilege with other edttatibrialleaders in their respective States and territories. The Council of Chief State School Officershopes that the itfOrMation in this guide will beof use "ri aSSisting our members to serve better localeducators who W-J.11 to leart aiDott Japan. This project continues efforts begun bythe Cbuncil, through its International Education Office,to increase global knowledge and awareness in the SdhbOlS. Much of the future of our sChOblS ahd the nation restsin a knowledge and appreciation of a world that ismore OcOribMiCally, soCially and politically intetdependent thanat any other time in htMah hiStory. Our efforts at international thderStandingare echoed from the recent pat by the poeticwords of the Emperor Meiji less than 100years ago: In My garden Side by side: Native plants, foreign plants : Growing together. William F. Pierce Executive Director ii PREFACE The purpOSe of this guide is to provideinformatiOn about Japan that will be helpful toelementary and secondary edudators and students in the UnitedStates and its territori08. This guide cbiltainS five major categoriesof information: 1; SpecialiSt8 on Japan and Japanese Studies: 2; Sources of Information about Japan; 3; CurriculuM MaterialS on Japan; 4; Activities and Innovative Teaching and Learning Programs about Japan; 5; Educational and Cultural ExchangePrograms with Japan. The foundation for thit guide isa computerized data- base program on Japan developed througha grant from the Japan-U.S; Friendship Commission. The information in each of the five categorie8 Was gatheredfrom a variety of sources. Specialists are either Japan scholarsat the post- secondary school level Or elementaryand secondary educators who are knowledgeable about Japan.

Tang Center for East Asian Art October 19-31, 2022 For peace of mind, all payments are 100% refundable until Thursday, July 21, 2022. Dear Princetonian, Join East Asian art specialist Dora C.Y. Ching *11 on a carefully crafted autumn journey to Japan, taking advantage of the chance to venture beyond the typical tourist sites to discover the fascinating worlds of this island nation — ancient and contemporary, urban and rural, sacred and cutting-edge. Begin in the Imperial capital of Kyoto, now a bustling modern city dotted with lovely ancient temples and gardens behind walls, and filled with some of the country’s top artisans. Then depart the city bustle for a memorable visit to the remote mountains and valleys of Shikoku Island, staying at a lovely traditional inn (ryokan) with indoor and outdoor hot spring baths (onsen). Continue to the contemporary artist retreat of Naoshima Island, and conclude with a bullet train journey to Tokyo to discover the highlights of Japan’s capital city. Throughout, savor the flavors of Japan, from simple vegetarian fare, traditionally served in Buddhist temples, to the exquisite kaiseki multi-course meals served at our ryokan. Dates are timed to coincide with both the annual Jidai Matsuri (Festival of the Ages) in Kyoto, which features a lively procession of people dressed in accurate costumes from almost every period of Japanese history, along with the beloved monthly flea market at Kyoto’s To-ji Temple, with bargains on used Japanese kimonos and other textiles, as well as antiques, ceramics and handicrafts.
