The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

History of City Planning in the City of Yokohama
History of City Planning in the City of Yokohama City Planning Division, Planning Department, Housing & Architecture Bureau, City of Yokohama 1. Overview of the City of Yokohama (1) Location/geographical features Yokohama is located in eastern Kanagawa Prefecture at 139° 27’ 53” to 139° 43’ 31” East longitude and 35° 18’ 45” to 35° 35’ 34” North latitude. It faces Tokyo Bay to the east and the cities of Yamato, Fujisawa, and Machida (Tokyo) to the west. The city of Kawasaki lies to the north, and the cities of Kamakura, Zushi, and Yokosuka are to the south. Yokohama encompasses the largest area of all municipalities in the prefecture and is the prefectural capital. There are also rolling hills running north-south in the city’s center. In the north is the southernmost end of Tama Hills, and in the south is the northernmost end of Miura Hills that extends to the Miura Peninsula. A flat tableland stretches east-west in the hills, while narrow terraces are partially formed along the rivers running through the tableland and hills. Furthermore, valley plains are found in the river areas and coastal lowland on the coastal areas. Reclaimed land has been constructed along the coast so that the shoreline is almost entirely modified into manmade topography. (2) Municipal area/population trends The municipality was formed in 1889 and established the City of Yokohama. Thereafter, the municipal area was expanded, a ward system enforced, and new wards created, resulting in the current 18 wards (administrative divisions) and an area of 435.43km2. Although the population considerably declined after WWII, it increased by nearly 100,000 each year during the period of high economic growth.

Follow the Rules! Ride Bicycles Properly!
February 1 - March 31, 2009 http://www.city.yokohama.jp/me/naka/e/ No. 103 2009 YOKOHAMA 150th Anniversary of the Opening of the Port of Yokohama Follow the Rules! Ride BicyclesBicycles Properly! Do you use a bicycle daily? Recently, more people are riding bicycles instead of driving cars because of the costs of car usage and gasoline, out of concern over global warming, and/or for exercise to maintain their health. While bicycles are ridden easily and casually, a major new issue is the deterioration of the manners of riders – reckless and dangerous riding on sidewalks. In Kanagawa Prefecture, Naka Ward is among places notorious for the high frequency of bicycle accidents. As a result, in 2007, Naka Ward was described as a “zone” of bicycle accidents. Traffic manners need special attention. No-parking areas for bicycles and other rules are introduced here. Riders, observe traffic rules and ride safely! Have you seen these? Have you done them yourself? • Inconsiderate parking is not only dangerous, but spoils the town landscape - Bicycles parked on sidewalks interfere with pedestrians (particularly mothers pushing baby carriages). - Parking on braille blocks is dangerous for the visually impaired (braille blocks guide them as they move). - Leaving a bicycle for a long time could result in your being accused of illegal dumping. Bicycle thefts are increasing. Stolen bicycles are then often left on the streets. • To prevent thefts: - Double lock bicycles. - At the time of purchase, be sure to register the bicycle. Bicycle no-parking areas expanded - Park properly in designated areas. Last autumn, bicycle no-parking areas around Sakuragicho Station, Hinodecho Station and the Motomachi-Chukagai Station were expanded.

Urban Design Yokohama
URBAN DESIGN CITY OF YOKOHAMA YOKOHAMA ENGLISH Urban Design within Yokohama The urban design of Yokohama originated in the late 1960s as one of the strategies used to promote postwar reconstruction as well as to cope with various urban problems arising during the high economic growth period, with the ultimate goal of making Yokohama a self-reliant city. The urban design approach has also played a role in identifying the balance between functional and economic needs from urban development on one hand, and aesthetic/human values such as beauty, enjoyment and grace on the other, thus helping to produce characteristic and attractive urban spaces. 7 Aims and Principles of 1940s−1960s: Occurrence of Late 1960s−: 3 basic strategies toward the creation of a Urban Design various urban problems self-reliant city 1 Supporting pedestrian activities 1945: Devastating destruction of Project production by ensuring safe and comfortable urban area resulting from the war Production of 6 flagship projects to walking spaces. 41% of the urban area was burnt down construct the main skeleton of the city 2 Taking into consideration natural from air raids characteristics such as the 1945−: Signifi cant delay in the topography and vegetation of the reconstruction process due to area concerned. requisition of urban area/port 3 Placing value on the historical facilities and cultural assets of the area 90% of port facilities and 27% of the concerned. entire urban area were requisitioned 4 Increasing and expanding open around 1949 spaces and greenery zones. 1950s: Disordered urbanization 1 Subway Development 5 Placing value on waterfront associated with urban expansion of Plan spaces of the sea and rivers.

Syllabus 2017
THE CHINESE IN MODERN JAPAN 1:10-4:25 Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies Fall Semester, 2017-18 Prof. Timothy Tsu, [email protected] Objectives Japan is seldom studied from the perspective of Chinese immigration. Japan today still tends to see itself—and is seen by many foreigners—as a mono- racial and homogeneous country that rejects immigration in both explicit and subtle ways. In fact, immigration has been an enduring feature of modern Japanese history, from the country’s “opening” to the West in the mid-19th century through the Pacific War and the U.S. Occupation to the early 21st century. In this course we are going to trace the history of Chinese immigration to Japan from the Tokugawa period to the present day with three broad objectives. First, we will analyze the experience of Chinese migrants in Japan from the perspectives of politics, economics, society, and culture. We will try to understand how they have coped with the challenge of living and working in Japan while contributing to—and in some cases putting stress on—the host society. Second, we will seek a “lateral view” on modern Japanese history and society through the prism of Chinese immigration on such topics as Japan’s encounter with Western modernity in the treaty ports, Japan’s economic and social penetration of colonial Korea, Japan’s economic expansion into colonial Southeast Asia, and the evolution of Japanese views on such issues as Pan- Asianism, racial competition, and migration. Finally, we will also consider how Chinese immigration continues to impact Japanese society—replenishing the shrinking labor force, propping up the retailing and service sectors, and fueling nationalistic discontent—in the 21st century when the relations between Japan and China enter turbulent and uncharted territory.

Open Ports and the Making of Chinatowns in Japan and South Korea
TDSR VOLUME XXIV NUMBER II 2013 39 The Specter of Modernity: Open Ports and the Making of Chinatowns in Japan and South Korea SUJIN EOM This article examines multifaceted dimensions of modernity by looking at how disparate meanings of “Chineseness” have emerged in relation to Chinese settlements in Yokohama and Incheon, and how these changed meanings have aligned with the formation of moder- nities in Japan and Korea in the course of the twentieth century. It further delves into how modernities in the two nation-states came to be recognized and manifested in the built environment of these two Chinatowns. Although the formation and development of the Chinatowns of Yokohama and Incheon were inseparable from the broader, global context of colonialism and modernism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the fact that they were not necessarily direct outcomes of “Western” colonialism provides a new point of ref- erence within the discussion of modernity. Arguing that the equation of modernity with the West has served as a normative model for contemporary urbanisms in East Asia, this article seeks an alternative way of understanding modernities. Chinatowns in North America, especially those in the American West, have been de- scribed as “a site of negation and deﬁnition.”1 In particular, Chinatowns have been de- ﬁned by what they seemed to lack: modernity. The typical qualities ascribed to their built environments, such as narrow alleys, multifamily housing, and unsanitary living condi- tions, have typically been attributed to “culture” and to an obsession with tradition — all of which has been contrasted with a Euro-American self-image of progress and improve- Sujin Eom is a Ph.D.
