Hiro Club News
Hiro Club News For your cultural life in Hiroshima おにぎり Onigiri (Rice Balls) Onigiri are Japan’s most popular picnic food. They are eaten with the fingers. They are made by firmly moding rice into triangular, round, or cylindrical shapes in the palms of the hands. Sometimes a mold is used to press the rice into shape. In the Kanto area (east Japan) triangular rice balls were standard, while in Kansai (west Japan) they were usually cylindrical. Many kinds of onigiri are sold by boxed-lunch vendors and at convenience stores and onigiri specialty shops. They’re one of the popular lunches. (Abstracted from The Japanese-English Dictionary for Conversation about Japan, p. 107, Obunsha) The standard ingredients people used to put in onigiri were pickled plums (umeboshi), dried shaved bonito (okaka), and broiled salted salmon (sake). Then, they were wrapped with a dried piece of seaweed (nori). But now, various kinds of ingredients such as tuna with mayonnaise and broiled beef are put in onigiri. Rice goes well with almost all food because the rice itself has no special taste. Yakionigiri is also a popular onigiri. The surface of a rice ball is covered with soy sauce and toasted until it is golden brown. Hot, freshly toasted onigiri smell great and are a popular thing to eat after drinking. Having a picnic under cherry trees is a Japan’s typical picnic style in Japan. The best season to have a picnic is now! Why not go outside with some onigiri and enjoy spring in Japan?

Setonaikai National Park Was Established in 1934 As One of the First National Parks in Japan
An inland archipelago and year-round shimmering Setonaikai seascape where people and nature live as one 16 Setonaikai National Park was established in 1934 as one of the first national parks in Japan. The national park is surrounded National Park by the five straits of Kitan, Naruto, Kanmon, Hoyo and Akashi. The park extends over 11 prefectures and covers some 900,000 hectares including the sea area, making it the largest national park in the country. The main feature of the national park is its archipelagic landscape formed by countless islands of all sizes. The Seto Inland Sea can be broadly divided into four regions: from the east, the Awaji Island region, Bisan-seto region, Geiyo Islands region, and Suonada region. The national parkʼs landscape has a complex structure consisting of relatively large sea areas known as nada, “open sea” or wan, “bay” and narrow channels known as seto or kaikyo, which both translate as “strait”. The inland sea, which is separated from the open ocean, is characterized by signifi cant tidal variation and is known for its fast currents. Culture has fl ourished in the Seto Inland Sea region since ancient times and a major feature of the region is its open, friendly local environment that integrates human life as part of the landscape in the form of terraced fields, fishing towns waiting for favorable tides, and many other scenic points. Since ancient times, the region has prospered as a major domestic and international port for sea traffic, including kitamaebune cargo ships that sailed the Japan Sea during the Edo period (1603-1868), and when Korean delegations to Japan visited the region. -

The History, Present, and Future of Underwater Cultural Heritage Management in Japan
THE HISTORY, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF UNDERWATER CULTURAL HERITAGE MANAGEMENT IN JAPAN A Dissertation by RANDALL JAMES SASAKI Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Luis Filipe M. Vieira de Castro Committee Members, Vaughn M. Bryant Christopher M. Dostal Di Wang Head of Department, Darryl De Ruiter December 2019 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2019 Randall James Sasaki ABSTRACT Japan is an island nation; the ocean and seas influenced the life of its people. Considering this fact, it is natural to assume that Japan is a leading nation in the field of maritime and nautical archaeology. However, Japan is one nation that has not developed a strong management system for researching and protecting its underwater cultural heritage. Waterfront developments, marine resource extraction projects, and dredging activities are underway, all without proper care of the cultural heritage located below the waves. In fact, developers have begun these projects without making any attempt to locate cultural heritage sites beneath them. The ultimate goal or purpose of conducting this research is to rectify this situation, to promote the study of underwater and maritime archaeology in Japan to prevent the loss of the important and rich cultural heritage of the country. To achieve this goal, the author first examined the history of underwater archaeological research in Japan and conducted a brief survey of all underwater archaeological research and maritime disasters. The author next examined how other countries managed their underwater cultural heritage to compare their activities with those of Japan. -

Cultural Expressions of Tokugawa Japan and Chosŏn Korea: an Analysis of the Korean Embassies in the Eighteenth Century
Cultural Expressions of Tokugawa Japan and Chosŏn Korea: an Analysis of the Korean Embassies in the Eighteenth Century by Jeong Mi Lee A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Jeong Mi Lee 2008 Abstract Cultural Expressions of Tokugawa Japan and Chosŏn Korea: an Analysis of the Korean Embassies in the Eighteenth Century Doctor of Philosophy, November 2008 Jeong Mi Lee Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto, Canada This doctoral thesis presents a historical study of the diplomatic exchanges between the Japanese and the Korean embassy in the eighteenth century. Neighbourly relationships (J: kōrin, K: kyorin) were maintained between Tokugawa Japan (1603-1868) and Chosŏn Korea (1392-1910) for more than 250 years. The visitations of the Korean embassy, dispatched to congratulate a new Tokugawa shogun, were often seen as the symbol of their amicable and friendly relationship, and it is well known that the Koreans were cordially welcomed by the Tokugawa bakufu. Despite these neighbourly relations, the visitations of the embassy had a more pragmatic purpose. More complex political conditions and nature were immanent within and between the both states. In the diplomatic interaction, the officials in the two states had traditional and obstinately-held perceptions towards the counterpart hidden behind the pleasant gesture. In this thesis, I attempt to uncover what is associated with these neighbourly relations, by revealing the cultural awareness and consciousness of these two states in East Asia through detailed examinations of the historical sources. -
