  • Evolving Cultural Landscape and Development of Modern Japan
    IKEGAYA, MAKOTO, M.A. Geographic Study of Historic Preservation: Evolving Cultural Landscape and Development of Modern Japan. (2013) Directed by Dr. Susan M. Walcott. 131 pp. The development of new architectural styles, infrastructure and construction materials in the Meiji period (1868-1912 CE), is tied to the creation of a modern Japanese identity. Despite recent developments toward preserving important historic property in Japan, many lesser known historical and vernacular sites continue to be ignored and have been ruined over time. An academic study of historic preservation is rare in Japan and in geography. The main purpose of this research is to clarify the role of historic preservation and to identify it with the rise of Japanese nationalism, economic development, and construction of the built environment during the pivotal Meiji period. The natural setting and history of Japan was examined and strategic plans for potential improvement in the field of Japanese historic preservation in the future are illustrated using case studies of the preservation projects of the Ise Jingu, Horyu-ji, the Tomioka Silk Mill, the Tokyo Station, and the Meiji Mura. Keywords: Built environment, cultural landscape, historic preservation, Meiji-Japan, national identity GEOGRAPHIC STUDY OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION: EVOLVING CULTURAL LANDSCAPE AND DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN JAPAN by Makoto Ikegaya A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Greensboro 2013 Approved by Committee Chair APPROVAL PAGE This thesis has been approved by the following committee of the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

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.

    REVIEW OF REVIEWS Nihon minzokugaku (Japanese Folklore Science), V ol.V, No. 2 (August 1958) Kojima Yukiyoshi: On the Belief in Kompira. Kompira is a guardian-god of fishermen and sailors. The name Kompira is a foreign import, the belief in the god is how­ ever part of the oldest religion of the people, from Izu Oshima in the East on down to the Goto Islands of Nagasaki Prefecture in the West. Folk tradition has it that the god stays at home and takes care of the houses and villages when all other gods start on a journey in October. During this time a festival is celebrated in his honor at which he is frequently worshipped as god of agriculture. Whether the god’s function as caretaker is part of his original nature or a later acquisition we can only guess. Ushio Michio: The Form of Oracles in Kagura，Sacred Shinto Music. In the kagura in honor of the kitchen-god Kojin in Okayama Prefecture people ask for an oracle for every seven or every thirteen years. In order to obtain the divine message they pile up brushwood around the sanctuary (shinden) of the god and set it afire. Ritual straw-ropes are hung along the boundary of the shrine precincts. Then two shrine ministers, swinging pine torches, start a wild dance, shouting goya, goya and beating one another with stones. One of them is supposed to be Kojin, the other one a man. Kojin tries to put the man to flight and a frantic scene develops under the eyes of the onlooking crowd through which the man dashes and gives up.

  • Japan and Its East Asian Neighbors: Japan’S Perception of China and Korea and the Making of Foreign Policy from the Seventeenth to the Nineteenth Century
    JAPAN AND ITS EAST ASIAN NEIGHBORS: JAPAN’S PERCEPTION OF CHINA AND KOREA AND THE MAKING OF FOREIGN POLICY FROM THE SEVENTEENTH TO THE NINETEENTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Norihito Mizuno, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor James R. Bartholomew, Adviser Professor Philip C. Brown Adviser Professor Peter L. Hahn Graduate Program in History Copyright by Norihito Mizuno 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of Japanese perceptions of its East Asian neighbors – China and Korea – and the making of foreign policy from the early seventeenth century to the late nineteenth century. Previous studies have overwhelmingly argued that after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, Japan started to modernize itself by learning from the West and changed its attitudes toward those neighboring countries. It supposedly abandoned its traditional friendship and reverence toward its neighbors and adopted aggressive and contemptuous attitudes. I have no intention of arguing here that the perspective of change and discontinuity in Japan’s attitudes toward its neighbors has no validity at all; Japan did adopt Western-style diplomacy toward its neighbors, paralleling the abandonment of traditional culture which had owed much to other East Asian civilizations since antiquity. In this dissertation, through examination primarily of official and private documents, I maintain that change and discontinuity cannot fully explain the Japanese policy toward its East Asian neighbors from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth century. The Japanese perceptions and attitudes toward China and ii Korea had some aspects of continuity.
