INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reprodu:::tion. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. University Micrdilms International 300 N. Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Ml48106 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

  • Education Reform in Japan: a Case of Immobilist Politics (The Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese Studies Series) 1
    Education Reform in Japan The Japanese education system is widely praised in western countries as a model to be emulated. In Japan, however, the system is criticized for its strict uniformity and for its supposed failure to train the creative minds that are needed for the next stage of economic advance. Since 1967 the Japanese government has twice embarked on major reform initiatives, but despite these high-profile attempts it has failed to achieve significant reform. Education Reform in Japan explains this failure in terms of an inability to reach consensus. The author argues that the prolonged one-party dominance by the Liberal Democratic Party has led to an internal diversity that has obstructed political change. He describes the paralysis that develops in the Japanese policy-making process when rifts occur between bureaucrats, party leaders and politicians specializing in education. He argues, moreover, that this ‘immobilism’ is not confined to education reform, but afflicts other areas of Japanese policy making as well. Leonard Schoppa is an Assistant Professor in the Woodrow Wilson Department of Government and Foreign Affairs, University of Virginia. He was first exposed to the Japanese education system as an elementary school child living in Japan, and became interested in the Japanese education reform debate after working as a junior high school teacher in the city of Kumamoto. His subsequent research took him back to Japan for numerous interviews with leading politicians, government officials and teachers’ union leaders. THE NISSAN

  • The Role of Medicine in the Construction of a Modern Japanese Identity, 1868-1912 Disse
    Science, Nurses, Physicians and Disease: The Role of Medicine in the Construction of a Modern Japanese Identity, 1868-1912 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Roberto Ramon Padilla II Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: James Bartholomew, Advisor Cynthia Brokaw Philip Brown Copyright by Roberto Ramon Padilla II 2009 Abstract This is a history of the emergence of a modern Japanese identity in the latter half of the nineteenth century as seen through the lens of scientific medicine. This study makes the argument that Japanese physicians’ construction of a modern identity was a two-fold process that identified Japan in line with Western imperialism and Western fields of knowledge, while conceptually distancing the island nation from nearby Asian neighbors. This perspective, which reflected the growing understanding among Japanese of their country’s emerging place in the world in the Meiji era (1868-1912), occurred within the context of the broad social, political, economic and military reforms that defined this period. Western medicine based on the rational proofs and perceived universality of scientific inquiry, positioned Japanese physicians as agents of modernity. I examine the way scientific medicine informed Japanese modernity in two ways: I begin by looking at how the Japanese Red Cross Society nurse came to be perceived as a national heroine, then I explain the Japanese Army Medical Bureau’s struggle to prevent beriberi, a nutritional deficiency illness in its ranks. These case studies offer a window into the interplay between modern medicine and traditional social values and underscore the reality that a field of knowledge is not adopted, but rather adapted and negotiated.

  • First Encounter with Iai in Japan, the Days of Sword-Wielding Battles Are A
    PROMENADE In Japan, the days of sword-wielding battles are a thing of the past. However, one of the techniques of wielding swords is being passed on from generation to generation. It is iaido (iai for short), the art of drawing a sword in one stroke to cut down the opponent or ward off an attack. “Why use a sword in this peaceful era?” you may ask. However, iai does not train people to kill one another. Iai is being handed down because one of its purposes is to train the soul – a world of great depth. First Encounter with Iai States also participated. I was filled with anticipation because it was hard to imagine how these people, so different in statures and looks, Recently, I had a chance to see a demonstration of iai for the first would perform with a Japanese sword, dressed in traditional formal time. Even in Japan, not so many people watch iai demonstrations Japanese attire – a kimono with a family crest and a full-length, unless they are particularly interested.

And there are Japanese martial arts featuring the use of swords, but a real sword is also many women practitioners.
