  • The Miare Festival Is an Expression of the Living Faith of Local Fishermen. Chapter 3 Justification for Inscription
    The Miare Festival is an expression of the living faith of local fishermen. Chapter 3 Justification for Inscription 3.1.a Brief Synthesis 3.1.b Criteria Under Which Inscription is Proposed 3.1.c Statement of Integrity 3.1.d Statement of Authenticity 3.1.e Protection and Management Requirements 3.2 Comparative Analysis 3.3 Proposed Statement of Outstanding Universal Value The Sacred Island of Okinoshima and Associated Sites in the Munakata Region Chapter 3 Justification for Inscription Justification for Inscription 3.1.a Brief Synthesis The Sacred Island of Okinoshima and Associated Sites in the Munakata Region is located in the western coastal area of Japan. It is a serial cultural property that has eight component parts, all of which are linked to the worship of a sacred island that has continued from the fourth century to the present day. These component parts include Okitsu-miya of Munakata Taisha, which encompasses the entire island of Okinoshima and its three attendant reefs, located in the strait between the Japanese archipelago and the Korean peninsula; Okitsu- miya Yohaisho and Nakatsu-miya of Munakata Taisha, located on the island of Oshima; and Hetsu-miya of Munakata Taisha and the Shimbaru-Nuyama Mounded Tomb Group, located on the main island of Kyushu. Okinoshima has unique archaeological sites that have survived nearly intact, providing a chronological account of how ancient rituals based on nature worship developed from the fourth to the ninth centuries. It is of outstanding archaeological value also because of the number and quality of offerings discovered there, underscoring the great importance of the rituals and serving as evidence of their evolution over a period of 500 years, in the midst of a process of dynamic overseas exchange in East Asia.

  • The Origins of Japanese Culture Uncovered Using DNA ―What Happens When We Cut Into the World of the Kojiki Myths Using the Latest Science
    The Origins of Japanese Culture Uncovered Using DNA ―What happens when we cut into the world of the Kojiki myths using the latest science Miura Sukeyuki – Professor, Rissho University & Shinoda Kenichi – Director, Department of Anthropology, Japanese National Museum of Nature and Science MIURA Sukeyuki: The Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) has one distinguishing feature in the fact it includes a mixture of both Southern and Northern style myths. This is proof that Japanese culture was originally not only one culture, but rather came into existence while being influenced by its various surroundings; but when it comes to trying to seek out the origins of that culture, as we would expect, there are limits to how far we can get using only an arts and humanities-based approach. That’s where your (Professor Shinoda’s) area of expertise— molecular anthropology—comes in and corroborates things scientifically for us. Miura Sukeyuki , Professor, Rissho By analyzing the DNA remaining in ancient human skeletal remains, University your research closing in on the origins of the Japanese people is beginning to unravel when the Jomon and Yayoi peoples and so on came to the Japanese archipelago, where they came from, and the course of their movements, isn’t it? In recent times we’ve come to look forward to the possibility that, by watching the latest developments in scientific research, we may be able to newly uncover the origins of Japanese culture. SHINODA Kenichi: Speaking of the Kojiki , during my time as a student my mentor examined the bones of O-no-Yasumaro, who is regarded as being the person who compiled and edited it.

  • The Myth of the Goddess of the Undersea World and the Tale of Empress Jingu’S Subjugation of Silla
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1993 20/2-3 The Myth of the Goddess of the Undersea World and the Tale of Empress Jingu’s Subjugation of Silla Akima Toshio In prewar Japan, the mythical tale of Empress Jingii’s 神功皇后 conquest of the Korean kingdoms comprised an important part of elementary school history education, and was utilized to justify Japan5s coloniza­ tion of Korea. After the war the same story came to be interpreted by some Japanese historians—most prominently Egami Namio— as proof or the exact opposite, namely, as evidence of a conquest of Japan by a people of nomadic origin who came from Korea. This theory, known as the horse-rider theory, has found more than a few enthusiastic sup­ porters amone Korean historians and the Japanese reading public, as well as some Western scholars. There are also several Japanese spe­ cialists in Japanese history and Japan-Korea relations who have been influenced by the theory, although most have not accepted the idea (Egami himself started as a specialist in the history of northeast Asia).1 * The first draft of this essay was written during my fellowship with the International Research Center for Japanese Studies, and was read in a seminar organized by the institu­ tion on 31 January 199丄. 1 am indebted to all researchers at the center who participated in the seminar for their many valuable suggestions. I would also like to express my gratitude to Umehara Takeshi, the director general of the center, and Nakanism Susumu, also of the center, who made my research there possible.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

Miyashiro Thesis Committee: Ricardo D. Trimillos, Chairperson Frederick Lau Christine R. Yano ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to thank, first and foremost, the thesis committee, Dr. Christine Yano, Dr. Frederick Lau, and especially the chairperson Dr. Ricardo Trimillos, for their patience in accepting this long overdue manuscript. Dr. Trimillos deserves extra thanks for initiating this project which began by assisting the author and the thesis subject, Shizuko Akamine, in receiving the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts Folk & Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Grant with support from Arts Program Specialist Denise Miyahana. Special thanks to Prof. Emeritus Barbara B. Smith and the late Prof. Dr. Robert Günther for their support in helping the author enter the ethnomusicology program. The author would also like to thank the music department graduate studies chair Dr. Katherine McQuiston for her encouragement to follow through, and for scheduling extremely helpful writing sessions where a large part of this thesis was written. This thesis has taken so many years to complete there are far too many supporters (scholarship donors, professors, classmates, students, family, friends, etc.) to thank here, but deep appreciation goes out to each and every one, most of all to wife Mika for being too kind and too patient. Finally, the author would like to thank the late Shizuko Akamine for being the inspiration for this study and for generously sharing so much priceless information.

  • Endangered Traditional Beliefs in Japan: Influences on Snake Conservation
    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 5(3):474–485. Submitted: 26 October 2009; 18 September 2010. ENDANGERED TRADITIONAL BELIEFS IN JAPAN: INFLUENCES ON SNAKE CONSERVATION 1 2 3 KIYOSHI SASAKI , YOSHINORI SASAKI , AND STANLEY F. FOX 1Department of Biology, Loyola University Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland 21210, USA, e-mail: [email protected] 242-9 Nishi 24 Minami 1, Obihiro, Hokkaido 080-2474, Japan 3Department of Zoology, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74078, USA ABSTRACT.—Religious beliefs and practices attached to the environment and specific organisms are increasingly recognized to play a critical role for successful conservation. We herein document a case study in Japan with a focus on the beliefs associated with snakes. In Japan, snakes have traditionally been revered as a god, a messenger of a god, or a creature that brings a divine curse when a snake is harmed or a particular natural site is disturbed. These strong beliefs have discouraged people from harming snakes and disturbing certain habitats associated with a snake god. Thus, traditional beliefs and cultural mores are often aligned with today’s conservation ethics, and with their loss wise conservation of species and their habitats may fall by the wayside. The erosion of tradition is extensive in modern Japan, which coincides with increased snake exploitation, killing, and reduction of habitat. We recommend that conservation efforts of snakes (and other biodiversity) of Japan should include immediate, cooperative efforts to preserve and revive traditional beliefs, to collect ecological and geographical data necessary for effective conservation and management activities, and to involve the government to make traditional taboos formal institutions.
