From the point of view of the quantity fished, it is one of the most important natural resources of the sea in Japan. In Hokkaido, especially, larger quantities of squid are caught than of any other sea product, about 60% of the total catch being made in South Hokkaido. Hence the economy of the South Hokkaido region depends to a large extent on the fishing of squid. From 1910 onwards, the fishing of squid can be divided into three periods with respect to the quantity caught in Hokkaido. The first period lasted until the early Taisho era. The boats used had no engine, and the fishing was carried out when the boats were at anchor. This period, therefore, may be described as the rowing boat period. The second period lasted until about 1935. Some engine- powered boats were now used; the fishing was still carried out at anchor, but the fishing area was considerably increased. The third period began in 1935 and reaches up to the present time. No advances or changes in the types of fishing boats have been made, but the number of engine-powered boats has greatly grown. The boats are not anchored, and the fishing position is changed continuously so that the fishing area has increased still further. The quantity fished annually during these three periods increased from about 18,750 to 37,500 tons in the first period, 2 to about 56,000 tons in the second period and to about 94,000 tons in the third period. There were however considerable differences in every period, depending on the year (see Fig. 1). An investigation into the causes of the fluctuations in the annual quantities fished is required, so that fluctuations can be predicted and thus help to stabilise the squid fishing industry. In the case of the squid, however, there is no method airailable at present for investigating their group formation and age distributior„ which are known in the cases of other fish. Hence fundamental eco- logical studies must be undertaken, and any investigations should • be based on the results of such ecological studies. Complete ecolo- gical studies of one species cannot however be carried out in a short period. Studies of this kind are now in progress, but parallel investigations of the migration routes, which are directly related to the fishing, are also needed. D.2 .••■■ ,• Fig. 1: Annual total catch in Hokkaido (kan) (1 kan - 3.75 kg.) 3 History of the investigetions of migration The Hokkaido Fisheries Institute made an investigation in 1889 of the directions from which the squid came every season. According to their records, along the Pacific coast of South Hokkaido the squid travel from shallow water to deep water, in the Tsugaru Channel the squid come from the west and move to the east, in the Hinokiyama district the squid come from the south-east and travel to the west, and in the Goshi district they come from the South and travel to the north. According to an investigation carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce in 1912, squid arrive in Sado Island the from the Noto coast and then P.3 gradually move further out from the shore at the beginning of winter. Sasaki (1921) has published a report on the differences in the fishing season in various parts of the coastal waters of the Japan Sea, but failed to find any evidence that the squid migrate all the way from Kyushu to Hokkaido. He did not reach a conclusion on the problem of the Surume species, i.e. whethar all the Surume-squid in the coastal waters of Japan belong to the same species or not e and after comparing the development and the rate of maturing of the reproductive organs of squid found in Hokkaido with those of the squid found in Kyushu he concluded that it was improbable that the squid would travel such a great distance. Ishii (1932) has reported, from the results of ecological investi» gations carried out at Oki Island in Shimane prefecture, that there are two different species of squid. Isahaya and Kawana carried out investigations on the squid in Hokkaido and North East Japan over a period of 6 years (1927 - 1932), and classified the Surume- squid found in the Japan Sea into two main types, the Northern type and the Southern type, which they classified further into sub- groups, as shown in Table 1. They also reported (1932) that the Surume-squid generally travel in a north-westerly direction. 4 Table 1: The classification due to Isahaya, and the distribution North Distribution -district Pacific east of the Hidaka and Pacific Group: Uraga Coasts. species South Distribution - the Iwate Northern Pacific prefecture Group: coasts Type Japan SeaSe Distribution - around Esashi Surume- species : and Hakodate, and as far as -{ East Muroran Squid Southern Pacific Distribution - district south of species : the Iwate prefecture coasts Type Japan SeeSea Distribution - districts further species : south than Rishiri and Rebun I Islands Tauchi and Sanyoshi (1940) have suggested, from a consideration of the relationship between the fishing season and locality, differences in the annual catch, etc., that there are two different groups of squid, one of which travels long distances, like the common sardine Sardina Melanosticta (T. et S.), while the other group stays within a local area. The present author (1945) has discussed the possibility of predicting the annual fishing conditions for the Surume-squid and has described briefly the two types suggested by Ishii and Isahaya and the relationship between the distribution and fishing season. After considering the changes in sea temperature, the feeding habits of the squid, their change in size (mantle length) and the seasonal changes in the fishing grounds, obtained from the results of inves- tigations at fishing grounds where the statistics of the amount caught the previous year were known, thp present author reported (1946) that the Surume-squid in the coastal waters of Japan all belong to a single species which travel between Saharein (Karafuto) in the North and Kyushu in the South. In order to prove this, marking and releasing tests were carried out in the autumn of the same year in the Tsugaru Strait. Some of the results were published 5 in Part 1 (1947) and additional results have been reported since. The results obtained to date (1948) are summarised in this report. The Movement of the Fishing Season and the Change in Mantle Length The Surume-squid can be caught anywhere along the coasts of Japan, both on the Japan Sea coasts and the Pacific coasts. The most important fishing grounds are, however, the coasts along which the Tsushima Current flows, and the Tsugaru Strait. According to Sasaki (1921), who has described squid fishing in the Japan Sea, the fishing season commences at Uryo Island in early spring and after ten days or so the first catches are made at Oki Island; about 2 weeks after this fishing begins on the north-west coast of the Noto Peninsula. The fishing season at the Noto Peninsula com- mences in early May and by the middle of the month fishing begins on the west coast of Sado Island, and, at the end of the month, on the east coast of the island. The fishing season in the Tsugaru Strait begins a few days later. The change in mantle length of the squid caught at many p.4 'places during their fishing season is described.

  • Reemerging Political Geography in Japan
    Japanese Journal of Human Geography 64―6（2012） Reemerging Political Geography in Japan YAMAZAKI Takashi Osaka City University TAKAGI Akihiko Kyushu University KITAGAWA Shinya Mie University KAGAWA Yuichi The University of Shiga Prefecture Abstract The Political Geography Research Group （PGRG） of the Human Geographical Society of Japan was established in 2011 to promote political geographic studies in Japan. The PGRG is the very first research unit on political geography in the Society which was established in 1948. Political geography was once one of the weakest sub―fields in Japanese geography with a very limited number of scholars and published works. This, however, is not at all the case now. Political geography is a reemerging field in Japan. In this review paper, four of the PGRG members contribute chapters on general trends in Japanese political geography, legacies of Japanese wartime geopolitics, the introduction of “new geopolitics” into Japan, and geographical studies on environmental movements. All of them have confirmed with confidence that Japanese political geography has been reemerging and making steady progress in terms of theory, methodology, and case study since the 1980s. Although the current stage of Japanese political geography is still in the regenerative phase, they strongly believe that political geography should be firmly embedded in Japanese geography. Key words : political geography, Japanese geopolitics, new geopolitics, environmental movements, Japan I Introduction The Political Geography Research Group （PGRG） of the Human Geographical Society of Japan was established in 2011 to promote political geographic studies in Japan. The PGRG is the very first research unit on political geography in the Society which was established in 1948.

Prior to applying for the study tour, each participant completed a 30-hour National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) seminar. Once selected, they all completed an additional 20 hours of pre-departure orientation, including FCCEAS webinars (funded by the US-Japan Foundation; archived webinars are available at www.smith.edu/fcceas), readings, and language podcasts. Under the overarching theme of “Human and Physical Geography of Japan,” the participants’ experience began in Tokyo, then continued in Sapporo, Yokohama, Kamakura, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima, Miyajima, and finally ended in Naha. Along the way they heard from experts on Ainu culture and burakumin, visited the Tokyo National Museum of History, heard the moving testimony of an A-bomb survivor, toured the restored seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and dined on regional delicacies. Each study tour participant was asked to prepare a report on an assigned geography-related topic to be delivered to the group in country and then revised upon their return to the U.S.

JIIA takes full responsibility for the translation of this article. To obtain permission to use this article beyond the scope of your personal use and research, please contact JIIA by e-mail ([email protected]) Citation: Rule of Law Series, Japan Digital Library (March 2015), http://www2.jiia.or.jp/en/digital_library/rule_of_law.php An Outline of the Territorial Dispute over Takeshima* Takashi Tsukamoto Evidence shows that in the 17th century economic activities were carried out by Japanese people on Takeshima, which Japan officially incorporated into Shimane Prefecture in 1905. Although the Japanese administration thereof was temporarily suspended during the postwar occupation, the sovereignty of Japan over the island was subsequently confirmed during the preparation of the Peace Treaty. In 1952, Korea placed the island within the so-called Syngman Rhee Line, which gave rise to a dispute between Japan and Korea over the attribution of the island. From 1954 onward, Korea has been stationing armed personnel on the island, and thereby de facto occupying it. Korea calls Takeshima as Dokdo. It alleges that the Usando that appears in ancient Korean books since the 15th century refers to Takeshima, and that the 1900 ordinance provided Takeshima (Seokdo) was within the administrative area of Ulleungdo. Also, it claims that the Japanese govern- ment determined in 1877 that Takeshima was not Japanese territory. This paper outlines the historical developments relating to the territorial dispute over Takeshima by dividing it into 21 chronological sections.

  • Shimane Prefecture Grassroots Summit Cultural Exchange Relationships with Japan and Usa Memorable Trip of July 2013
    SHIMANE PREFECTURE GRASSROOTS SUMMIT CULTURAL EXCHANGE RELATIONSHIPS WITH JAPAN AND USA MEMORABLE TRIP OF JULY 2013 MEMORABLE TRIP TO JAPAN July 1-19, 2013 Introduction In 2013, I traveled to Japan as part of a Grassroots Summit cultural exchange sponsored by the John Manjiro Whitfield Commemorative Center for International Exchange in Tokyo. The Summit was held in Shimane Prefecture with opening session in Matsue. Following a week in Matsue I participated in a five-day post-summit trip to Sendai. After I had made the travel arrangements in the spring, I was offered an opportunity to travel to Kochi, where I had been in 2011, and also to Yokohama, where I had not visited since my Navy days in the mid-1960s. The following articles are short accounts on some of these exciting adventures. My homestay in Shimane prefecture was done in Matsue where I was very lucky to have Ichiro and Takiko Yoshino as my very friendly host and hostess for my homestay. In Sendai my host family was Masataka and Akiko Tatsuda, who also were very hospitable. In Kochi I gave a lecture at the University of Kochi and was hosted by Dr. Joel Joos and Professor Loren Waller. I then went to Nahari and was hosted by Masako and Kimiko Sakamoto. My final stop was in Yokohama and was hosted there by Koichi Imazu and other members of the Yokohama Kurofune (Black Ships) Society. The trip was my longest in Japan and I am very grateful to all my hosts and hostesses for their hospitality. I am also grateful to Ms.
