Urban Space on the Frontier: the Development of Sapporo in Meiji Japan Ethan Barkalow, Class of 2018
Urban Space on the Frontier: The Development of Sapporo in Meiji Japan Ethan Barkalow, Class of 2018 Through the Goldsmith Adams Research Award, I had a two-fold experience of research and language study in Japan this summer. For eight weeks I lived with a host family in Hakodate, Japan and enrolled in daily Japanese language courses. In the time immediately preceding and following this language program, I gathered invaluable primary source material with which I will use to pursue a history honors project on the urban development of Sapporo in Meiji Japan (1868-1912). The eight-week Japanese language program through the Hokkaido International Foundation (HIF) allowed me to immerse myself in Japanese language and culture in three settings: Japanese class, Japanese cultural events, and living with a host family. Continuing my Japanese studies at HIF was especially valuable for the progress of my Japanese minor at Bowdoin because after missing a semester of class in the spring semester I was able to catch up and can continue towards completing my Japanese minor. About four weeks of my time this summer in Japan were dedicated to conducting preliminary research and gathering primary and secondary sources to use in an honors project over the next year. Firstly, with students and faculty of the Bowdoin Japanese Program I spent about nine days in Tokyo. During this period, my faculty mentor Professor Sakura Christmas and I took several visits to the National Diet Library of Japan. The National Diet Library contains a comprehensive archive of historical documents which included material from and concerning Meiji-period Sapporo.

Our Research Realizes New Dreams for Hokkaido
Hokkaido Research Organization Our research realizes new dreams for Hokkaido. http://www.hro.or.jp/ Message from the President Yoshikatsu Tanaka The Hokkaido Research Organization (HRO), a local independent administrative agency, was established in April 2010 by integrating 22 prefectural research institutes in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, forestry, manufacturing, food, environment, geology and architecture. The HRO is now focused on the three fields of food, energy and communities under the second midterm plan, which began in 2015, and utilizes its accumulated technologies and expertise while demonstrating its collective strengths in various fields to promote research on fundamental technologies that enhance the basic value of the technologies owned by Hokkaido industries and the effectiveness of administrative policies. It also works toward the practical use of fundamental technologies, contributing to the improvement of residents' living standards and the promotion of local industries as a comprehensive research institute in Hokkaido. Meanwhile, changes in socioeconomic circumstances and revolutionary advancement in scientific technology, such as the depopulation and aging of the population in Hokkaido at a faster pace than the national averages, worsening resource/energy problems, rapid development in ICT including IoT and big data, and advancing globalization, have various effects on the Hokkaido economy and lives of Hokkaido residents. To timely and appropriately deal with such powerful trends and promote research and development for the future, we are preparing the third midterm plan, which will begin in FY 2020. While defining the future vision, we will further strive to conduct high-value research and development that are used for the lives of Hokkaido residents and industries.

Japanese Cranes by Kushiro the Japanese Tea Ceremony Usually Takes Place in a Traditional Japanese Tatami Room
Japanese Cranes by Kushiro The Japanese Tea Ceremony usually takes place in a traditional Japanese tatami room. Obihiro, Japan is located on the northernmost island of Japan, called Hokkaido . Students are flown to Chitose Airport in Sapporo , where they will usually spend the night in a hotel before traveling by bus to Obihiro to meet with homestays. Sometimes air travel takes them to Tokyo for an overnight stay before flying to Hokkaido. The bus ride itself takes about two and a half hours. They also may take a train from Sapporo to Obihiro. The city of Kushiro , east of Obihiro, also has a relationship with Seward, being our “Port Sister City.” Hokkaido is known for its cool summers (which attract many tourists from other parts of Japan) and icy winters. The average August temperature is around 22°C (72°F), while the average January temperature ranges from −12°C to −4°C (10°F to 25°F) depending on elevation and latitude. The island tends to see isolated snowstorms that develop long-lasting snowbanks, in contrast to the constant flurries seen in the Hokuriku region. During the winter, passage through the Sea of Okhotsk is often complicated by large ice floes broken loose from the Kamchatka Peninsula. Combined with high winds that occur during winter, this brings air travel and maritime activity almost to a halt on the northern coast of Hokkaido. It is Hokkaido's climate that has made it such a popular place for tourists from countries such as Australia. The other advantage is the ski season in Hokkaido is at the opposite time of year to that in Australia.

""! ! Dissertation Advisor: Professor Andrew Gordon Michael Alan Thornton Settling Sapporo: City and State in the Global Nineteenth Century Abstract In this thesis, I investigate the role of citybuilding in the colonization of Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido, during the nineteenth century. Using archival sources from the United States and Japan, I explore five spatial strategies deployed by the Japanese state to assert its control over the region: planning for a new capital; mapping the city; encouraging and controlling migration to the city; administering the city; and modeling new forms of agricultural practice in the city for use throughout the wider colony. I consider the debates and contests that characterized all these strategies, and illustrate their importance in turning Sapporo from a riverside outpost of two houses into the indisputed capital of the region.

Japan) ✉ Muhammad Usman 1,4 , Akinori Sawaya2, Mari Igarashi1, Jeffry Joseph Gayman3 & Rakesh Dixit2
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00688-4 OPEN Strained agricultural farming under the stress of youths’ career selection tendencies: a case study from Hokkaido (Japan) ✉ Muhammad Usman 1,4 , Akinori Sawaya2, Mari Igarashi1, Jeffry Joseph Gayman3 & Rakesh Dixit2 Although job availability in Japan is at its highest in 24 years, the unemployment rate has remained unchanged. On one hand, certain fields are saturated with employees while on the 1234567890():,; other hand, the rural areas of Hokkaido are in desperate need of agricultural workers. At the same time, the aging population in Japan is an emerging challenge. The flat unemployment rate in conjunction with the rapidly aging farmers’ population can possibly reduce the food self-sufficiency rate, raise Japan’s dependency for international food products and increase import expenses. Thus, these factors can tip the socio-economic balance of the struggling economy. For the present research, different surveys were conducted not only in various farming corporations of Hokkaido but also 20 farmers were directly contacted and inter- viewed. In addition, adolescents’ (aged 16–18 years) career choices were studied through questionnaires administered to 157 students at Hokkaido’s Sapporo Kaisei Secondary School. It was found that, in rural areas of Hokkaido, relocation of youth to the cities is probably the main cause of the shortage of workers. In Sapporo city, among adolescents who had already chosen a career path, around 76% wanted to enter the science and technology field. This trend can result in intense competition and “saturation” in science and technology fields and many vacant slots in the others related to agricultural farming.
