For illustration purposes, this map also shows geographical intermediate lines in waters in which borders with neighboring countries have yet to be demarcated. Despite ranking only 61st in the world in terms of land area (380,000 km2), Japan’s territorial waters and exclusive economic zone combined are 12 times larger (4,470,000 km2) than its land area. In December 1986, the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Japan on Maritime Search and Rescue (U.S.-Japan SAR Agreement) was concluded, under which Japan is responsible for coordinating search and rescue activities in the vast expanse of ocean that extends northward from 17° North and westward from 165° East.

Robertson, Chair Professor Kelly Askew Professor Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Markus Nornes © Sumi Cho All rights reserved 2014 For My Family ii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation chair, Professor Jennifer Robertson for her guidance, patience, and feedback throughout my long years as a PhD student.

I also would like to thank Professors Gillian Feeley-Harnik and Kelly Askew for their academic and personal support for many years; they understood my challenges in creating a balance between family and work, and shared many insights from their firsthand experiences. I also thank Gillian for her constant and detailed writing advice through several semesters in her ethnolab workshop. I also am grateful to Professor Abé Markus Nornes for insightful comments and warm encouragement during my writing process. I appreciate teaching from professors Bruce Mannheim, the late Fernando Coronil, Damani Partridge, Gayle Rubin, Miriam Ticktin, Tom Trautmann, and Russell Bernard during my coursework period, which helped my research project to take shape in various ways.

  • OKINAWA, JAPAN August 16 - 26, 2018
    OKINAWA, JAPAN August 16 - 26, 2018 NAHA • ITOMAN • NAKAGAMI • KUNIGAMI • YOMITAN THE GAIL PROJECT: AN OKINAWAN-AMERICAN DIALOGUE Dear UC Santa Cruz Alumni and Friends, I’m writing to invite you along on an adventure: 10 days in Okinawa, Japan with me, a cohort of Gail Project undergraduates and fellow travelers, all exploring the history, tradition, and culture of this unique and significant island. We will visit caves that were once forts in the heart of battle, winding markets with all of the tastes, smells, and colors you can imagine, shrines that will fill you with peace, and artisans who will immerse you into their craft. We will overlook military bases as we think about the American Occupation and the impacts of that relationship. We will eat Okinawan soba (noodles with pork), sample Goya (bitter melon), learn the intricate steps that create the dyed cloth known as Bingata, and dance to traditional Okinawan music. This is a remarkable opportunity for many reasons, as this trip is the first of its kind at UC Santa Cruz. I’m also proud to provide you with a journey unlike any you will have at other universities, as we are fusing the student and alumni experience. Our Gail Project students, while still working on their own undergraduate research, will make special appearances with the travelers and act as docents and guides at various sites along the way. This experience will allow travelers to meet and learn along with the students, and will offer insight into UC Santa Cruz’s commitment to hands-on research opportunities for undergraduates.

  • Kagawa Bonsai Flourishing Around the World
    KAGAWA BONSA I Kagawa Bonsai Flourishing Around the World About Kagawa Prefecture Shikoku is Japan's fourth largest island, southwest of Japan's main island Honshu, and is divided into four prefectures: Kagawa, Tokushima, Ehime and Kochi. Situated in the northeast part of Shikoku, Kagawa is the Japan’s smallest prefecture and is connected to Honshu by the Seto Ohashi Bridge which crosses the Seto Inland Sea at the north. Kagawa is blessed with rich nature and a gentle climate which is warm through the seasons with little rain and long sunshine durations. Attracted by such abundant climate and geographic advantage, the Japanese government and private sectors set up many of their branches and offices in the capital of the prefecture, Takamatsu City and make the city as a hub of Shikoku.
