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.

A Snapshot of the Displacement of Fukushima Residents: As of the First Anniversary of Japan’S 3.11 Disasters
Tohoku Geographical Association’s Bulletin on the 2011 East Japan Earthquake, March 9, 2012 March 10, 2012 A snapshot of the displacement of Fukushima residents: as of the first anniversary of Japan’s 3.11 disasters Takashi Oda Assistant Professor Center for Simulation Sciences Ochanomizu University, Tokyo This short report presents the result of a GIS (Geographic Information System) mapping conducted to create a simple snap shot of the displacement of Fukushima residents. As we are approaching the first anniversary of the 2011 East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, this report is aimed to serve as a reminder of the ongoing predicament of those who are affected by the disasters. Almost a year has passed since the 3.11 disasters and the subsequent Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, which occurred in Japan in March 2011. According to the latest figures put together by the Fukushima Prefectural Government1, as of February 23, 2012, 62,674 persons, who were the residents of Fukushima Prefecture, are officially reported to still be stranded outside their home prefecture2. As reported by Oda (2011)3 in the August 2011 edition of this Bulletin, not only have the multiple disasters displaced tens of thousands of people, they have also resulted in the relocation of the municipal governmental functions of the townships in and around the nuclear power plant. While the tendency to remain close to the home prefecture continues, a significantly high number of people who evacuated Fukushima are located in Yamagata Prefecture (12,973 persons), which exceeded the number in Niigata Prefecture (6,723 persons), a popular destination back in June 2011.

Record of a Juvenile of Evoxymetopon Taeniatum (Trichiuridae) from Shikoku
Record of a juvenile of Evoxymetopon taeniatum (Trichiuridae) from Shikoku Figure 1. Fresh specimen of Evoxymetopon taeniatus collected from off Okino-shima Island, Kochi Prefecture, Japan (KBF-I 1087, 279.8 mm standard length). The genus Evoxymetopon Bloch & Schneider, 1801 belongs to the family Trichiuridae and comprises four valid species, and three of them, Evoxymetopon macrophthalmum Chakraborty, Yoshino & Iwatsuki, 2006 “Hirenaga-omeyumetachi”, Evoxymetopon poeyi Günther, 1887 “Hirenaga-yumetachi”, and Evoxymetopon taeniatus Gill, 1863 “Yumetachi-modoki”, have been known from the Japanese waters (Nakabo and Doiuchi 2013). Under the frame work of an ichthyofaunal fish survey in the southwestern Shikoku, a single juvenile specimen of E. taeniatus, captured by set net at off Okino-shima Island, Kochi Prefecture, was obtained by the second author at a fish-landing ground of Tanoura Fishing Port on 18 May 2020. The specimen was observed in detail and, counted and measured by following Sakiyama et al. (2011). The characteristics of present specimen [KBF-I 1087, 279.8 mm standard length (SL): Figs. 1, 2] is well consistent with the diagnosis of E. taeniatus given by Nakamura and Parin (1993), Nakabo and Doiuchi (2013), and Koeda and Ho (2017): dorsal-fin rays 81, first ray not elongated; pectoral fin rays 11, fin triangular in shape; pelvic fin ray 1, scale-like; caudal fin present; body depth 8.5% SL at pectoral-fin base; eye located at middle of body axis; a crescent nostril present in front of eye (Fig. 2; Table 1). This species is known from the central Atlantic Ocean and northwestern Pacific Ocean off Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines (Nakamura and Parin 1993, Koeda and Ho 2017).

E-mail: [email protected] Received May 29, 2015; Accepted January 20, 2016 Abstract This study focuses on the economic importance of Karafuto, the southern part of Sakhalin Island, in terms of its disputed status as a Japanese or Russian territory. The author focuses on the Sea of Japan Rim Region. Shotaro Kazama, Chief Secretary of the Niigata Chamber of Commerce, edited ‘A Report of inspection for business of Vladivostok and Karafuto’ which was published in 1907 after the Russo-Japanese War. Niigata Prefecture had sent a team to inspect not only the merchants in Vladivostok but also the fishermen in the territorial waters of the Far East of Russia, where, in 1907, Japanese rights were still unsettled. One of the reasons for inspecting the activities of the merchants and fishermen was to document the widespread circulation of soy sauce, dyeing, and weaving as a precondition to establish a Japanese territory in Karafuto. By developing their networks, the merchants had established the Port of Niigata and the markets between Vladivostok and Karafuto as part of a direct regular voyage in the Japan Sea.
