The historiography of Eco City Tokyo: A Neoliberal Sustainable Urban City? Uppsala, Department of Archaeology and Ancient History. Trend of Sustainability is applied to city planning and try to achieve the sustainable development of a city and a town that is generous to people, environment and vitalise the economy at the same time. Initiatives for sustainable city planning in Japan is organized by the national Government, so called, FutureCity Initiative. This initiative enables to local city and representative to participate and act for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) within a city and aim sustainable development. Chiyoda city is one of the cities elected as an Eco-Model City’s FutureCity project. One of their approaches is to cooperate with local businesses group in Otemachi, Marunouchi, Yurakucho district (OMY district) to solve the environmental and social issues and contribute for their city to be sustainable. This thesis focuses on this OMY district that support a huge part of Japanese economy and aim to be the world most sustainable urban city to lead a sustainable earth in the future. When business leaders become main actors of sustainable city making, their business and economic knowledge and the interest to sustainability would be combined and influence the definition and understanding of ‘sustainability.’ It is important to acknowledge that the process of meaning making for sustainability, from a business perspective in capitalism and neoliberal society, has been influenced by historical factors that human beings has been prioritising economic growth and ideology of capitalism and affect the environment and vice versa.

    JAPAN’S HISTORY PROBLEM: AGENCY, VIOLENCE, AND THE LIMITS OF DECOLONIZING HISTORY by Hitomi Koyama A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October 2015 © 2015 Hitomi Koyama All Rights Reserved Abstract If history-writing and modern forms of colonialism have been complicit with one another, how can we decolonize history-writing? The public appearance of former “comfort” women in 1992 and their demand for apology and acknowledgment have ushered in a new level of urgency in thinking through the relationship between history-writing and decolonization in post-Cold War Japan. Postcolonial critics of history-writing’s relationship to a Eurocentric world order elucidate how history-writing can exclude and thus marginalize and silence the non-European Other. If history-writing, or what Chakrabarty calls historicism, pertains solely to denial of one’s agency, then the antidote would be to assert one’s agency against such denial as a form of resistance. Still, examining modern Japan’s engagement with Western history- writing and its aftermath since 1945, where contentions over proper modes of history- writing persist as a “history problem (rekishi mondai)” between the former empire and its victim states, elucidates the need to rethink the potential and limits of decolonizing history. Through discourse analysis of writings by Yukichi Fukuzawa, Ukichi Taguchi, Kiyoshi Miki, and Norihiro Kato, I identify that historicism as a historiographical concept embodies at least two versions and thus implications. The first is a historicism which denies the agency of those who are deemed as being “backward” in relation to linear progressive history; the second is historicism which affirms agency, individuality, and particularity against Western claims to universality.

Nowadays, few cinemas are still opened and the popularity of Asakusa, as an entertainment district, has fallen inexorably. The first step in doing this study was to perform a land use analysis through several periods, including the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and the present. The second step was to collect all data and compare them to understand how the“Cinema-City” was born in Asakusa and how the area developed, changed, and declined over the past century. The results of this study make clear the following points: 1) The Cinema-City presented the highest concentration cinemas in Japanese history. 2) The Cinema-City experienced many changes in architectural styles, land use, ownerships, and landscape. These changes are carefully examined and reported in the present study. Keywords: Cinema-City, Entertainment District, Asakusa, Rokku, Cadastral Maps, Land Registry ���������������������������� 1.

  • GIS-Based Visualization of Tokyo's Urban History
    GIS-Based Visualization of Tokyo's Urban History Dr. Loren Siebert Department of Geography and Planning University of Akron ([email protected]) Abstract: With the rise of interest in "temporal GIS" over the last decade, the use of geographic information systems to document, visualize, and interpret the history of urban regions has become more common. The temporal GIS project presented here is a "GIS spatial history of Tokyo" covering spatial patterns and changes in Japan's capital region over the last 130 years. Historical topographic maps, census data, administrative histories, rail company chronologies, and other spatiotemporal data were used to produce a multifaceted GIS database that includes: changes in physical features such as shorelines, rivers, and canals; the process of urbanization as represented by annexations, mergers, and upgrading of administrative areas from village to town, city, or city ward; population changes mapped by administrative area; development of the region's extensive rail network; and mapping of historical landscape units. Keywords: temporal GIS, spatial history, historical visualization, Tokyo, Japan Notes: This paper first appeared in the Proceedings of the Computers in Urban Planning and Urban Management (CUPUM 2001) Conference held at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in July 2001. Those proceedings were distributed on CD-ROM. Page numbering used here in the Adobe PDF file is different than that used in the CUPUM 2001 proceedings. Colors used in the maps were optimized for printing on an Epson Color Stylus inkjet printer rather than for display on a computer monitor.

A.1 Historical Review of Rice Markets and Telecom- munications in Japan In Japan, rice was circulated as pseudo-money from the 16th century, before the Toku- gawa Shogunate was established in 1603. During the period when the Shogunate ruled throughout Japan until 1867, the authority and clan governments (feudal lords) ordered most people to pay their taxes in rice. However, in the early 17th century, the authority began mintage of coins. In the 1660s, currency was circulated all over Japan; that is, Japan’s monetary economy was advancing. At the same time, because the authorities were urged to pay merchants for necessities in their castles using specie money, the au- thority and clan governments needed to turn their collected rice into money.

    Urban Engawa / Verandah -Fuzzy Spaces In-Between Inside and Outside making Interactive Spaces for Tokyo Urbanites- Machiyo Fujii A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture University of Washington 2015 Committee: Jeffrey Hou Ken Tadashi Oshima Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Landscape Architecture, College of Built Environment ⓒ Copyright 2015 Machiyo Fujii 1 2 Abstract This design thesis explores urban landscape design for future Tokyo, Japan to encourage interaction among Tokyo urbanites and nature through “fuzzy space” between inside and outside. For this purpose, focusing on how culture and history of Tokyo make Tokyo urbanites perception of space is the key to design public spaces what they desire. For now, there are many problems in the city of Tokyo, such as lack of communication with other people, lack of public space and green spaces, and environmental issues. In order to improve these problems, I conducted a review of existing literature/scholarship and a survey of Tokyo urbanites. It asked them their perceptions about public open spaces to understand their desires for design in the urban landscape in Tokyo. I then applied these results to my design intervention called fuzzy spaces. Fuzzy space allows users to watch and see natural elements and people’ s activities which Tokyo urbanites desire and places like an engawa within the structure of the historical Japanese house. I hope to my design thesis project inspires future designs of Tokyo to successfully provide a place for resting and socialization, and serve as a sanctuary for future Tokyo urbanites.

  • The Collecting and Sharing of Knowledge of Water-Related Place Names in Tokyo
    The Collecting and Sharing of Knowledge of Water-Related Place Names in Tokyo by Michael Viola A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Humanities Computing University of Alberta © Michael Viola, 2016 Abstract March 11, 2011, 14:46 Japan Standard Time. This was the moment that marked the beginning of what is now known as the “2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami,” a catastrophe that brought about devastation throughout many regions in Japan, most notably in the north eastern region of the main island of Honshuu, and resulted in the loss of thousands of lives and the displacement of even more. While the earthquake and the subsequent tsunami were unavoidable, they were not entirely unforeseeable: similar disasters in the region have occurred in the past. People in Japan from past generations carefully recorded episodes of these catastrophes. This recorded information was meant to be passed onto future generations so that the knowledge and memory of past disasters will be preserved and be applied to the many aspects of Japanese society, so that the loss of lives and damage to towns and cities can be kept at a minimum in times of earthquakes and tsunamis. Not only was this knowledge archived in ancient texts and chronicles, but also embedded into infrastructure and, at a more subtle level, place names. However, this knowledge became “invisible” with the passage of time. This memory of past catastrophes became forgotten not as a result of the loss of the knowledge itself—much of the infrastructure and place names embedded with memories from past generations still exist—but the loss of awareness of this vast library of information, information that is literally peppered across the landscape of Japan, information that is in plain sight yet invisible.

Nuclear power plants were closed, and some are still under safety review. Newly built thermal power plants will increase CO2 emissions, and the battle among the ministries hinders effective adaptation planning.

  • Engineering Education and the Spirit of Samurai at the Imperial College of Engineering in Tokyo, 1871-1886
    Engineering Education and the Spirit of Samurai at the Imperial College of Engineering in Tokyo, 1871-1886 by Masanori Wada Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Science and Technology Studies Gary Downey, Chair Daniel Breslau Barbara Reeves December 19, 2007 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Industrialization, National Identity, Bushido History of Technology, Technology Transfer Copyright 2007, Masanori Wada Engineering Education and the Spirit of Samurai at the Imperial College of Engineering in Tokyo, 1871-1886 Masanori Wada Abstract The Meiji Restoration was the revolution that overthrew the feudal regime of the Tokugawa period in late nineteenth-century Japan. It was also the time of the opening of the country to the rest of the world, and Japan had to confront with Western powers. The Meiji government boldly accepted the new technologies from the West, and succeeded in swiftly industrializing the nation. However, this same government had been aggressive exclusionists and ultra-nationalists before the Restoration. In light of this fact, I investigate how national identity is linked to engineering education in Japan. My focus is on the Imperial College of Engineering (ICE), or Kobu-daigakko, in Tokyo during the late nineteenth century. The ICE was at the forefront of Westernization in the Meiji government. I specifically examine Yozo Yamao and Hirobumi Ito, who studied in Britain and were the co-founders of the college; Henry Dyer, the first principal; and the students of the ICE. As a result of the investigation, I conclude that the spirit of samurai (former warriors) was the ethos for Westernization at the ICE.
