Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J
Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei mandara Talia J. Andrei Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2016 © 2016 Talia J.Andrei All rights reserved Abstract Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J. Andrei This dissertation examines the historical and artistic circumstances behind the emergence in late medieval Japan of a short-lived genre of painting referred to as sankei mandara (pilgrimage mandalas). The paintings are large-scale topographical depictions of sacred sites and served as promotional material for temples and shrines in need of financial support to encourage pilgrimage, offering travelers worldly and spiritual benefits while inspiring them to donate liberally. Itinerant monks and nuns used the mandara in recitation performances (etoki) to lead audiences on virtual pilgrimages, decoding the pictorial clues and touting the benefits of the site shown. Addressing themselves to the newly risen commoner class following the collapse of the aristocratic order, sankei mandara depict commoners in the role of patron and pilgrim, the first instance of them being portrayed this way, alongside warriors and aristocrats as they make their way to the sites, enjoying the local delights, and worship on the sacred grounds. Together with the novel subject material, a new artistic language was created— schematic, colorful and bold. We begin by locating sankei mandara’s artistic roots and influences and then proceed to investigate the individual mandara devoted to three sacred sites: Mt. Fuji, Kiyomizudera and Ise Shrine (a sacred mountain, temple and shrine, respectively).

FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulﬁllment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2013 ABSTRACT FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Kimberly M. Blaeser My dissertation is a creative translation from Japanese into English of the poetry of Yosa Buson, an 18th century (1716 – 1783) poet. Buson is considered to be one of the most important of the Edo Era poets and is still inﬂuential in modern Japanese literature. By taking account of Japanese culture, identity and aesthetics the dissertation project bridges the gap between American and Japanese poetics, while at the same time revealing the complexity of thought in Buson's poetry and bringing the target audience closer to the text of a powerful and mov- ing writer.

Volki (Annelida: Clitellata: Propappidae) from Japan
JapaneseJapaneseSociety Society ofSystematicof Systematic Zoology Species Diversity, 2006, 11, 359-365 New Record of Propappus volki (Annelida: Clitellata: Propappidae) from Japan Takaaki Torii ll)Et`I CDnsuttants inc., 1334-5Riemon, Oigawa. Shida, Shizuoka, 421-CL212 .lapan E-mail: [email protected] (Received 1 November 2005; Accepted 11 July 2006) A species of freshwater oligochaete, PrQpoppus volki Michaelsen, 1916, is newly recorded from sand and gravel bottoms of several unpolluted streams in Honshu, Japan. The present material agrees well with the previous de- scriptiens of this species except that the spermathecal ampulla is shorter and the proboscis is more elomgate than those described earlier. This is the first record of the family Propappidae Coates, 1986 (New Japanese name: Ko- himemimizu-ka) and the genus Prql)qppus Miehaelsen, 1905 (New Japanese narne: Ko-himemimizu-zoku) in Japan. It provides evidence that the oligochaete fauna in Japan is more closely related to the Holarctic than to the Sino-Indian zoogeographical region, PrQpqppus votici can be regarded as a good bio-indicator fbr unpolluted water. Key Words: oligochaetes, Clitellata, Propappidae, Propappus volki, new record, Japan. Introduction The genus PrQpqppus was erected by Michaelsen (1905) fbr PrQpappus gtandu- losus Michaelsen, 1905 in the family Enchytraeidae. Afterwards Coates (1986) cre- ated the family Propappidae for the single genus PrQpappus on the basis of a unique combination of setal and genital characteristics distinctly different from those ef the Enchytraeidae. Only three species of Propampus have so far been described from freshwater habitats of the Palaearctic region, Among them, Prqpqppus glandulosus has been recorded from Lake Baikal and the Angara and Yenisey Rivers in central Russia (Michaelsen 1905; Coates 1986), PrQpqppus arhynchotus Sokolskaja, 1972 has been recorded only from the Kamchatka Peninsula and Amur basin in the Russian Far East (Timm 1994, 1999a).

How Is the Gap Between the Concept and Practice of Integrated Sediment Management Bridged?
K-3 Fourth International Conference on Scour and Erosion 2008 HOW IS THE GAP BETWEEN THE CONCEPT AND PRACTICE OF INTEGRATED SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT BRIDGED? Koh-ichi FUJITA Member of JSCE, Research Coordinator for Environmental Affairs, Environment Dept., National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM), Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) (Asahi 1, Tsukuba-shi, Ibaraki-ken, 305-0804, Japan) E-mail: [email protected] In Japan, various and intensive modifications to river systems through projects for sediment/flood control, water resources development, electric power supply, river improvement and so on have played extremely important roles in mitigating flood/sediment related disasters and improving our lives and society. At the same time, they have changed river-basin-scale sediment transport systems, bringing new problems with their system soundness in terms of continuity, sustainability and ecological functions. Perceiving that this shows limitations of a locally optimized approach by the area and purpose, which had been taken because of its efficiency, the government has already laid out the concept of “integrated management of a sediment transport system” as a new national policy direction. However, there still appears to be the gap between the concept and its practice, which may retard sweeping development of the new policy. Instead of seeking for “magic technology” that alone can bridge the gap, this overview paper stresses three keys to firmly establishing integrated sediment management: (a) grasping and sharing an overall image of a sediment transport system by using a “common language” that macroscopically describes sediment transport phenomena, not being limited to excessively precise analysis; (b) appropriately performing a diagnosis to identify the structure of problems through a scenario-driven approach, not being preoccupied by stereotyped thoughts; (c) prioritizing the development of component technologies and linking them with policy setting & implementation processes.
