  • The Abode of Fancy, of Vacancy, and of the Unsymmetrical
    The University of Iceland School of Humanities Japanese Language and Culture The Abode of Fancy, of Vacancy, and of the Unsymmetrical How Shinto, Daoism, Confucianism, and Zen Buddhism Interplay in the Ritual Space of Japanese Tea Ceremony BA Essay in Japanese Language and Culture Francesca Di Berardino Id no.: 220584-3059 Supervisor: Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2018 Abstract Japanese tea ceremony extends beyond the mere act of tea drinking: it is also known as chadō, or “the Way of Tea”, as it is one of the artistic disciplines conceived as paths of religious awakening through lifelong effort. One of the elements that shaped its multifaceted identity through history is the evolution of the physical space where the ritual takes place. This essay approaches Japanese tea ceremony from a point of view that is architectural and anthropological rather than merely aesthetic, in order to trace the influence of Shinto, Confucianism, Daoism, and Zen Buddhism on both the architectural elements of the tea room and the different aspects of the ritual. The structure of the essay follows the structure of the space where the ritual itself is performed: the first chapter describes the tea garden where guests stop before entering the ritual space of the tea room; it also provides an overview of the history of tea in Japan. The second chapter figuratively enters the ritual space of the tea room, discussing how Shinto, Confucianism, Daoism, and Zen Buddhism merged into the architecture of the ritual space. Finally, the third chapter looks at the preparation room, presenting the interplay of the four cognitive systems within the ritual of making and serving tea.

  • The Influence of the Hokuriku Shinkansen on Komatsu–Haneda Flight Users: an Analysis of Opening the Kanazawa and Tsuruga Hokuriku Shinkansen
    〈金沢星稜大学論集 第 54 巻 第 1 号 令和 2 年 9 月〉 1 The Influence of the Hokuriku Shinkansen on Komatsu–Haneda Flight Users: An Analysis of Opening the Kanazawa and Tsuruga Hokuriku Shinkansen Takashi AOKI 1. Introduction The opening of the bullet train or Hokuriku Shinkansen from Nagano to Kanazawa in March in 2015, which directly connects to Tokyo, has had important positive effects in Ishikawa Prefecture, such as the increase in the number of visitors to the area. However, this development has negatively influenced some industries in Ishikawa. In particular, the number of airline passengers between Tokyo (Haneda Airport) and Ishikawa (Komatsu Airport) has decreased after the opening, and the number of Komatsu–Handa (KH) flights also decreased from 12 flights per day before 2014 to 10 flights per day after 2016. Because planners expected the reduction in the number of KH flights and implemented various measures to maintain the level of service offered. Such measures have ensured the operation of 10 KH flights per day at present, but the expansion of the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Tsuruga (Fukui Prefecture, next to Ishikawa Prefecture) from Kanazawa in the spring of 2023 may cause further negative impacts on the number of flights and passengers. However, accidents in the Hokuriku Shinkansen in those areas could result in the train shutting down for many days—a real problem that already occurred in 2019. Therefore, KH flights are expected to be continued due to risk management concerns about the area’s transportation system and the related economic aspects. Based on the validity of KH flights, this paper analyzes the effects on KH flights influenced by the Hokuriku Shinkansen Kanazawa opening and the extension to Tsuruga.
