This exhibition mainly introduces the manga and anime characters that have emerged in Japan since the postwar and the daily life in such a kingdom as well as the popular trends which may reveal the direction of further development of characters in Japan. Its debut was in China and then in Italy and most of Europe, Asia, Oceania and America, which attracted a lot of local people. The purpose of the exhibition, according to the Japan Foundation, is to make viewers have “a better understanding of the cultural and historical background behind the Japanese love of characters as well as the future of characters in contemporary Japan” (“Foreword” to “JAPAN: Kingdom of Characters”, 2010). The organizer of the exhibition, the Japan Foundation, established in October 1972, was a special legal entity supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose object is to promote international cultural exchange through organizing a wide range of programs around the world. It has established 24 overseas centres including Beijing, Seoul, London, Paris, Moscow, New York and Sydney in 23 countries. The programs it operates focus on three fields: culture, language and dialogue. The Japanese government also gives the Japan Foundation great supports each year, since as Japan’s only cultural agency responsible for international cultural exchange it creates many opportunities to foster friendship and understanding between Japan and the world. Particularly when the Japanese government has devoted itself to exploiting the potential of the nation’s cultural influence through the concept of “Cool Japan” since 2002, the Japan Foundation plays a critical role. 1 This development was first described by Douglas McGray in his 2002 article “Japan’s Gross National Cool” that highlights Japan’s soft power, which includes pop music, anime, manga, fashion, film, cuisine, and the phenomenon of cuteness. Japan Foundation is an important tool for promoting Japan’s “national cool,” to foreign audiences. With increasing attention paid to Japan’s softpower, the Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) establishes a special office for promoting the creative industry and the “Cool Japan” strategy, one of whose key elements is Japanese content represented by Japanese popular culture. According to the statistics published by METI on “The Current Situation and Future Development of Content Industry” in April 2016, the foreign sales of Japanese content has reached 13.8 billion dollars, mainly including manga (24.1 per cent), game (19.3 per cent), character goods sale (7.9 per cent), anime (0.2 per cent) and film (0.1 per cent), which accounts for 2.5 per cent of global demand for content. Among these aspects, one element which goes 1For details of the development of “Cool Japan” see Chapter 5. 1 Introduction through the process of development of them and becomes ever more important as well as reflects the contemporary Japanese society is characters. Characters are omnipresent in contemporary Japan. As the introduction to the above-mentioned travelling exhibition writes, “Used unhesitatingly by both adults and children in private and public spaces, before we realize it, these characters have become a part of our daily landscape” and appeared in many possible places such as “bank passbooks, train commutation passes and local police boxes” (see Figure 1 ). Therefore, “Anyone who has ever travelled to Japan has probably had the awe- inspiring experience of finding manga and anime characters in every corner of the city,” as the exhibition director Aihara Hiroyuki notes (“JAPAN: Kingdom of Characters”, 2010). “Not only in areas like Akihabara and Harajuku, which have come to be known in foreign countries as sacred sites for characters, but in supermarkets and souvenir shops in every little town across the country, one finds countless goods emblazoned with images of Hello Kitty and Pocket Monsters,” continues Aihara, “Droves of adults march into movies produced by Studio Ghibli and it is not at all unusual to see people immersed in making figures from Mobile Suit Gundam .” Indeed, driven by the postwar boom in manga and anime, characters have quickly become part of Japanese daily life via books and screens. It is very normal in Japan to see various genres of manga placed outside the front of bookshops; many people on the train, regardless of age or gender, will have some kind of manga materials, such as pocket books and digital sources, to read; and anime is often broadcast on television, at the cinema, or on big screens in the street. Such an environment opens up many channels for Japanese people to discover manga and anime, and makes them familiar with the characters in them. Convenience shops, vending machines, restaurants, hotels, museums, café and shopping centres are flooded with huge numbers of character-based goods, but the saturation does not stop there: items that are part of a person’s personal belongings— for example, bags, clothes and mobile phones—are also rife with such “characterization.” In the introduction to the exhibition, a 2004 survey conducted by the Bandai Character Research Centre in Japan is mentioned.

    和 食 Traditional Dietary Cultures of the Japanese Itadaki-masu WASHOKU - cultures that should be preserved What exactly is WASHOKU? Maybe even Japanese people haven’t thought seriously about it very much. Typical washoku at home is usually comprised of cooked rice, miso soup, some main and side dishes and pickles. A set menu of grilled fish at a downtown diner is also a type of washoku. Recipes using cooked rice as the main ingredient such as curry and rice or sushi should also be considered as a type of washoku. Of course, washoku includes some noodle and mochi dishes. The world of traditional washoku is extensive. In the first place, the term WASHOKU does not refer solely to a dish or a cuisine. For instance, let’s take a look at osechi- ryori, a set of traditional dishes for New Year. The dishes are prepared to celebrate the coming of the new year, and with a wish to be able to spend the coming year soundly and happily. In other words, the religion and the mindset of Japanese people are expressed in osechi-ryori, otoso (rice wine for New Year) and ozohni (soup with mochi), as well as the ambience of the people sitting around the table with these dishes. Food culture has been developed with the background of the natural environment surrounding people and culture that is unique to the country or the region. The Japanese archipelago runs widely north and south, surrounded by sea. 75% of the national land is mountainous areas. Under the monsoonal climate, the four seasons show distinct differences.

  • The Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Crisis Management
    e Fukushima Nuclearand Crisis Accident Management e Fukushima The Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Crisis Management — Lessons for Japan-U.S. Alliance Cooperation — — Lessons for Japan-U.S. Alliance Cooperation — — Lessons for Japan-U.S. September, 2012 e Sasakawa Peace Foundation Foreword This report is the culmination of a research project titled ”Assessment: Japan-US Response to the Fukushima Crisis,” which the Sasakawa Peace Foundation launched in July 2011. The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant that resulted from the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, involved the dispersion and spread of radioactive materials, and thus from both the political and economic perspectives, the accident became not only an issue for Japan itself but also an issue requiring international crisis management. Because nuclear plants can become the target of nuclear terrorism, problems related to such facilities are directly connected to security issues. However, the policymaking of the Japanese government and Japan-US coordination in response to the Fukushima crisis was not implemented smoothly. This research project was premised upon the belief that it is extremely important for the future of the Japan-US relationship to draw lessons from the recent crisis and use that to deepen bilateral cooperation. The objective of this project was thus to review and analyze the lessons that can be drawn from US and Japanese responses to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and on the basis of these assessments, to contribute to enhancing the Japan-US alliance’s nuclear crisis management capabilities, including its ability to respond to nuclear terrorism.

In the United States this growth has been based on copyright infringement, where fans have subtitled anime series and released them as fansubs. In the absence of official releases fansubs have created the current popularity of anime, which companies can now benefit from. From the beginning the companies have tolerated and even encouraged the fan activity, partly because the fans have followed their own rules, intended to stop the distribution of fansubs after official licensing. The work explores the history and current situation of fansubs, and seeks to explain how these practices adopted by fans have arisen, why both fans and companies accept them and act according to them, and whether the situation is sustainable. Keywords: Japanese animation, anime, fansub, copyright, piracy Tiivistelmä Piratismia vai tuottavuutta: laittomat toimintatavat animen fanikäännöksissä Japanilaisen animaation eli animen suosio maailmalla on lyhyessä ajassa kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti. Tämä kasvu on Yhdysvalloissa perustunut tekijänoikeuksien rikkomiseen, missä fanit ovat tekstittäneet animesarjoja itse ja julkaisseet ne fanikäännöksinä. Virallisten julkaisujen puutteessa fanikäännökset ovat luoneet animen nykyisen suosion, jota yhtiöt voivat nyt hyödyntää. Yhtiöt ovat alusta asti sietäneet ja jopa kannustaneet fanien toimia, osaksi koska fanit ovat noudattaneet omia sääntöjään, joiden on tarkoitus estää fanikäännösten levitys virallisen lisensoinnin jälkeen.

Prof.ssa Roberta Maria Novielli Correlatore Ch. Prof. Davide Giurlando Laureando Carlotta Noè Matricola 838622 Anno Accademico 2016 / 2017 要旨要旨要旨 この論文の目的は新海誠というアニメーターの映画的手法を検討する ことである。近年日本のアニメーション業界に出現した新海誠は、写実的な スタイルで風景肖像を描くことと流麗なアニメーションを創作することと憂 鬱な物語で有名である。特に、この検討は彼の作品の中にある自分自身の人 生、愛情、人間関係の見方を伝えるための記号型言語に集中するつもりであ る。 第一章には新海誠の伝記、フィルモグラフィとその背景にある経験に 焦点を当たっている。 第二章は監督の映画のテーマに着目する。なかでも人は互いに感情を 言い表せないこと、離れていること、そして愛のことが一番大切である。確 かに、彼の映画の物語は愛情を中心に回るにもかかわらず、結局ハッピーエ ンドの映画ではない。換言すれば、新海誠の見方によると、愛は勝つはずで はない。新海誠は別の日本のアニメーターや作家から着想を得ている。その ため、次はそれに関係があるテクニックとスタイルを検討するつもりである。 第三章には新海誠の作品の分析を通して視覚言語と記号型言語が発表 される。一般的な象徴以外に、伝統、神話というふうに、日本文化につなが る具体的なシンボルがある。一方、西洋文化に触れる言及もある。例えば、 音楽や学術研究に言及する。 こうして、新海誠は異なる文化を背景を問わず観客の皆に同じような感情を 感じさせることができる。 最後に、後付けが二つある。第一に、新海誠が演出したテレビコマー シャルとプロモーションビデオが分析する。第二に、新海誠と宮崎駿という アニメーターを比較する。新海誠の芸術様式は日本のアニメーションを革新 したから、“新宮崎”とよく呼ばれている。にもかかわらず、この呼び名を 離れる芸術様式の分野にも、筋の分野にも様々な差がある。特に、宮崎駿の アニメーションに似ている新海誠の「星を追うこども」という映画を検討す る。 1 L’ARTE DEL SILENZIO Il simbolismo nel cinema di Shinkai Makoto 要旨要旨要旨 …………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Pg.1 INTRODUZIONE …………………………………………………………………………………………..Pg.4 CAPITOLO PRIMO: Shinkai Makoto……………………………………………………………………………………………Pg.6 1.1 Shinkai Makoto, animatore per caso 1.2 Filmografia, sinossi e riconoscimenti CAPITOLO SECONDO : L’arte di Shinkai Makoto……………………………………………………………………………..Pg.18

  • Penggambaran Stereotip Gender Shoujo Manga Pada Tokoh Anime
    IR - PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Manga adalah komik Jepang, di mana salah satu genre-nya adalah shoujo manga, yaitu manga yang dipasarkan kepada sebagian besar perempuan. Mizuki Takahashi (dalam Macwilliams, 2008) berpendapat bahwa shoujo manga adalah hal yang melekat kepada subkultur Jepang yang disebut shoujo bunka, yaitu dunia tertutup dari, oleh, untuk dan tentang perempuan. Shoujo manga sendiri memiliki berberapa pola didalamnya, salah satunya menyangkut mengenai gender. Ninomiya (dalam Choo, 2008: 281) berpendapat bahwa shoujo manga modern lebih cenderung kepada percintaan dengan narasi ‘perempuan pecundang yang mendapatkan pangeran tampan’. Mengimplikasikan bahwa tidak ada pandangan setara perempuan dengan laki-laki. Pada tahun 1970 dan 1980, ada beberapa shoujo manga yang sangat populer dan juga dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang revolusioner, seperti Candy Candy karya Kyoko Mizuki dan The Rose of Versailles karya Riyoko Ikeda. Kedua komik tersebut fokus kepada percintaan, namun hal itu tidak menghapuskan ambisi dari karakter utama, dimana karakter utama dikomik shoujo manga ini memprioritaskan karir mereka (Choo, 2008). Narasi ini 1 SKRIPSI PENGGAMBARAN STEREOTIP GENDER... TARRA TIARANI IR - PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA 2 merupakan salah satu narasi yang populer pada era 1970, namun narasi ini perlahan menjadi sedikit dan memiliki pergeseran dalam fokusnya. Ada pergeseran dalam dinamika gender di dalam shoujo manga, seperti yang tercermin dari dua judul shoujo manga terkenal yaitu Fruits Basket dan Hana yori Dango. Berbeda dengan The Rose of Versailles, kedua judul ini memiliki penggambaran karakter perempuan yang cukup berbeda. Dalam Fruits Basket dan Hana yori Dango, karakter utama perempuannya adalah seorang yang kuat namun digambarkan sebagai orang yang menyedihkan dan laki-laki yang sangat agresif (Choo, 2008).

A division of the Crowell-Collier Publishing Co. New York t BUREAU OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL RESEARCH Michigan State University f East Lansing, Michigan I Copyright@ 1961 BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY East Lansing, Michigan Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 61-63703 i t , PREFACE • This study of some 18 American university affiliations with Japanese and Korean institutions is a small part of a larger study of the American university overseas. The larger study l is undertaken by the Institute for Research on Overseas Pro­ grams at Michigan State University. What is said here about programs in Japan and Korea can be compared with what other staff members of the Institute have saidabout programs in other countries, particularly other Asian countries such as India and !t Indonesia. , Many believe with ex-President Eisenhower that the American university should expand its foreign affiliations as a contribution t to economic and cultural reconstruction and development over­ seas, and to better international understanding between America and other countries. In this view, university affiliations are an j important type of "people to people" contacts across national boundaries. Others believe that the American university should f concentrate its limited manpower and resources on the domestic job it does best, and reduce the scale of its commitments abroad. Part of the decision (or compromise) between these viewpoints should be based on a knowledge of what the existing international programs are in fact attempting or accomplishing.
