  • Japan: Castles, Armor & the Art of the Samurai
    MUSEUM TRAVEL ALLIANCE Japan: Castles, Armor & the Art of the Samurai May 30–June 9, 2019 MUSEUM TRAVEL ALLIANCE Dear Travelers and Friends, Japan has one of the oldest, richest, and most complex aesthetic traditions in the world– a tradition that is inextricably connected to the legacy of the samurai. Join the Museum Travel Alliance for a journey that explores the history, spiritual practices, and warrior arts of Japan. As we travel together, we will visit castles, museums, and temples that tell a fascinating story of Japanese military, political, and artistic history. We begin in Tokyo, where we discover the still-vital world of traditional swordsmithing with a visit to the studio of a master sword polisher. We also get an inside look at two authentic Japanese martial arts, sumo and kendo, as we tour training centers to observe practice drills and discuss these rich traditions with senseis and practitioners. Explorations of nearby temples will reveal connections between spiritual practice and martial and aesthetic traditions, and visits to museums will provide numerous opportunities to experience the spectacular creations of Japanese artists throughout the centuries. In Kyoto, we visit ancient Zen temples and Shinto shrines, set off by the natural beauty of mountains, foothills, and forests. This journey from Tokyo to KyotoRUSSIA will reveal some of the most astounding works of art, architecture, and arms and armor on Earth. Throughout this trip, led by a curator who is an authority in arms and armor, you will meet talented craftspeople and experts in the arts. And you will enjoy traveling in the congenial company of members from a number of museums and cultural institutions.

The strength of modern sword is estimated as high as Available online xxx approximately 4500 MPa (by four point bend test) and is considered to be a great value along with high hardness, which is comparable with the value of high performance tool steels. The fracture surface showed Keywords: that the crack propagation behavior is smooth around sharp edge and ductile like the zigzag morphology Japanese sword from wavy pattern region into the core region.

  • 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.

  • The 9Th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction June 3-5,1992 Tokyo, Japan
    The 9th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction June 3-5,1992 Tokyo, Japan Direction-Controlled Lifting System Masahiro Nishimura Construction Technology Development Department Taisei Corporation 3-25-1 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan Shigeyuki Yamashita Engineering Department TOKIMEC Engineering Inc 2-16-46 Minami-Kamata, Ota-ku Tokyo Japan Norimitsu Yoshihama Yokohama Landmark Tower Building Project Site Office, Yokohama Branch, Taisei Corporation 3-2-1 Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Japan ABSTRACT In the construction of a high-rise building, structural members can be turned by the wind during lifting, making installation work more difficult and reducing productivity. This paper describes a system for the control of rotation around the vertical axis during the lifting of members. The system consists of three major units; a sensing unit, an operation unit, and an actuating unit. The operation unit incorporates a rate gyro, which keeps track of the lifted members in initial direction. It controls the actuating unit, which consists of a pair of blowers that stabilize orientation during lifting. Although this system contributes greatly to safety and work efficiency when used alone, it will also be an extremely useful sub-system in the future total automation of construction. 1. INTRODUCTION In the construction of a super-high-rise building, it is generally the case that the more stories to be constructed, the greater the number of working days lost due to inclement weather. The major causes of this loss are rainfall and strong winds. While some days on which work must be halted occur even in the construction of lower stories regardless of the height, days lost to strong winds occur more frequently as the working height increases.
