Department of ^ian Studies The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date October 14, 1987 ii Abstract This thesis examines the theme of alienation along with the train motif in the life journeys of the protagonists in four modern Japanese novels. Each chapter is devoted to an individual novel and explores its hero's feelings of socio-psychological estrangement on personal and interpersonal levels as well as the role of the train journey which serves to arouse, create or alleviate such feelings. Chapter One deals with Sanshiro (Sanshiro. 1908) by Natsume Soseki and follows the hero on his long train journey from backward Kyushu to progressive Tokyo.

  • The History, Tradition, and Culture of Kyoto Prefecture
    The History, Tradition, and Culture of Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto Prefectural Education Center Preface The world has become a smaller place due to the development of high-speed machines and information technology. Nowadays the ability to show the world our identity as Japanese people including our culture and tradition, especially the ability to communicate with the rest of the world, is needed more than ever. Throughout history, Kyoto has been at the center of Japanese culture and history. Kyoto is therefore a good starting point for communicating with the world about Japanese culture and history. In this textbook, the history, tradition, and culture of each region in Kyoto Prefecture are introduced in English so that you, as high school students, can be proud to tell people from abroad about your hometown and Kyoto in English. The contents of chapter Ⅰto Ⅲ in this textbook are based on a Japanese textbook which was written for new teachers working in Kyoto Prefecture. Some parts have been erased and changed, and in other parts, new information was added so that high school students can understand better. You might find some difficult words in the textbook, however, the sentence structures are rather simple and readers with a basic knowledge of grammar can read on with a dictionary at hand. Furthermore, as the Japanese explanations are available on the right page, you can utilize them as a reference if the English is too difficult to understand. Besides, this textbook would be useful not only for students but also for people from abroad who don't know much about Kyoto Prefecture.

    [Jpn. J. Parasitol., Vol. 39, No. 4, 384-396, August, 1990] Trematodes of a New Genus, Neoplagioporus gen. n. (Digenea: Opecoelidae: Plagioporinae), and an Unidentified Opecoelid from Freshwater Fishes of Japan Takeshi SHIMAZU (Accepted for publication; July 2, 1990) Abstract A new genus, Neoplagioporus gen. n., is proposed in the subfamily Plagioporinae Manter, 1947 (Opecoelidae). It is morphologically characterized chiefly by the distinctly bipartite, short and straight seminal vesicle, the sinistrally submedian genital pore, the usually trilobate or rarely smooth to bilobate ovary, and the vitelline follicles usually entering the forebody or rarely being confined to the hindbody.

  • Sawtelle Japantown Report #1
    The Trajectory of Japanese American Neighborhoods REPORT #1 SPRING 2015 SAWTELLE JAPANTOWN The Trajectory of Japanese American Neighborhoods AUTHORS JENNY HUANG PROJECT COORDINATORS JOANN KWEON PAUL M. ONG JOYCE PARK C. AUJEAN LEE TONY ZHANG UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES 1 PREFACE These reports represent Asian American Studies’ commitment to engaged scholarship through teaching and community-oriented research that are mutually beneficial. Community partners are instrumental in identifying research needs, participating in and facilitating data collection, as- sisting in analyzing information, and disseminating findings to inform policy debates and pro- gram development. For community members, we hope that they will gain insights from student research. At the same time, students gain real-world understanding of Asian American issues. The class that sponsored a community project serves as a bridge for students’ academic training and their life after graduation. We hope that this project enables students to acquire and apply research skills and engage in broader social justice movements. This course, “Capstone Community-based Research: Asian American Enclaves and Community Institutions,” connected students to Sawtelle Japantown Association (SJA). The class was offered through UCLA’s Asian American Studies Department. This year’s project examines the factors that contribute to the vitality of ethnic enclaves and community institutions to then provide rec- ommendations to SJA. SJA has been working since 2014 to preserve the cultural and historic as- pects of the Sawtelle area. They are working to mobilize and strengthen community and cultural organizations so that its members have an active, strong, and effective voice in planning their neighborhood’s future. This project emerged from a joint planning effort that started during the summer of 2014.
