  • Joseph Heco and the Origin of Japanese Journalism*
    Journalism and Mass Communication, Mar.-Apr. 2020, Vol. 10, No. 2, 89-101 doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2020.02.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Joseph Heco and the Origin of Japanese Journalism* WANG Hai, YU Qian, LIANG Wei-ping Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Joseph Heco, with the original Japanese name of Hamada Hikozo, played an active role in the diplomatic, economic, trade, and cultural interactions between the United States and Japan in the 1850s and 1860s. Being rescued from a shipwreck by an American freighter and taken to San Francisco in the 1850s, Heco had the chance to experience the advanced industrial civilization. After returning to Japan, he followed the example of the U.S. newspapers to start the first Japanese newspaper Kaigai Shimbun (Overseas News), introducing Western ideas into Japan and enabling Japanese people under the rule of the Edo bakufu/shogunate to learn about the great changes taking place outside the island. In the light of the historical background of the United States forcing Japan to open up, this paper expounds on Joseph Heco’s life experience and Kaigai Shimbun, the newspaper he founded, aiming to explain how Heco, as the “father of Japanese journalism”, promoted the development of Japanese newspaper industry. Keywords: Joseph Heco (Hamada Hikozo), Kaigai Shimbun, origin of Japanese journalism Early Japanese newspapers originated from the “kawaraban” (瓦版) at the beginning of the 17th century. In 1615, this embryonic form of newspapers first appeared in the streets of Osaka. This single-sided leaflet-like thing was printed irregularly and was made by printing on paper with tiles which was carved with pictures and words and then fired and shaped.

  • Urban Expressway
    Urban Expressway Roads for automobile exclusive use separated from open roads without crossing at grade are necessary to alleviate automobile congestion and eliminate through traffics from open roads. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government started the study in 1951, the Urban Expressway Network of 8 Routes, road with a length of approx. 71km, was approved as the City Planning for the first time in August 1959,and based on the recommendation for the construction of the Urban Expressway System by the Committee on Capital Construction in 1953, “Basic Policy for the Tokyo City Planning Urban Expressway” of the Ministry of Construction approved in 1957 and the consideration by the Task Force for the Tokyo City Planning Urban Expressway,. Since then, as there were additional new routes, extension of existing routes and a part of alignment change etc., the routes approved in the City Planning are 19 routes with 3 branch routes, of approx. 226km, as of Mar. 2013. Among the routes already approved in the City Planning, the following are currently in service: the Routes of No.1, No.2, No.2 Branch Route, No.3, No.4, No.4 Branch Route, No.5, No.6, No.7, No.8, No.9, No.12, Bay Shore Branch Route, Adachi Line, Katsushika-Edogawa Line, Bay Shore Route, Oji Line, Shinjuku Line, a part of Outer Circular Route (from Oizumi 5-chome to Oizumi 1-chome, Nerima Ward) and a part of Harumi Line (from Toyosu 6-chome to Ariake 2-chome, Koto Ward), total 17 routes, 3 branch routes, road length approx. 196km, are in service now.

  • Observations of the First Japanese to Land in Hawai'i
    HIDETO KONO KAZUKO SINOTO Observations of the First Japanese to Land in Hawai'i HIRAHARA ZENMATSU WAS A JAPANESE SEAMAN who lived among the people of the island of O'ahu for about three and a half months in 1806. Zenmatsu was a native of the province of Aki, now Hiroshima prefecture, during the reign of the Tokugawa feudal government (1603—1867). He and seven others aboard the Inawaka-maru, a small Japanese cargo ship, were shipwrecked off Japan and remained adrift in the Pacific for more than seventy days.1 An American trading ves- sel, the Tabour, sailing eastward in the northern Pacific on her return voyage from China, rescued the emaciated crew of the Inawaka-maru and deposited them on O'ahu on May 5, 1806. There they remained until August 17, when they departed from the island with the hope of returning to Japan. This essay is based on the official record of Zenmatsu's testimony compiled in a document titled Iban Hyoryu Kikokuroku.2 The testimony was given at the time Zenmatsu was summoned by Lord Asano of Hiroshima after he had finally returned to his homeland on Novem- ber 29, 1807. This occurred six months after his arrival in Nagasaki, where he was severely interrogated by officials of the bakufu (shogu- nate government). Hideto Kono and Kazuko Sinoto are members of the Joseph Heco Society of Hawai'i, which was organized in 1991 to undertake research on records of Japanese who touched the shores of Hawai'i prior to 1868, when the first group of Japanese was brought to the Islands to work on the sugar plantations.

August 4th. This morning the U.S. Consulate was found to be minus its national coat-of-arms over the gate-way. This seemed to ruffle the worthy Consul very considerably. He at once issued a notice offering a reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the thief who had been tampering with Uncle Sam's fowl-yard. But all to no purpose,—for what really became of that American Eagle remains a mystery even unto this day. On August 6th the English fleet under Admiral Kupper steamed out of the bay in line. It was said to be bound for Kagoshima, Satsuma's Capital, to exact reparation from that Daimio for the outrage committed by his men at Namamugi on the Tokaido in September, 1862. August 8th. The foreign representatives were notified by the Shogun's Government that Ogasawara, Dzosho-no-kami had been released from his membership of the Gorojiu.

  • Simulating Hazardous Traffic Condition for Urban Expressways - a Micro- Simulation Approach
    Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Civil Engineering for Sustainable Development (ICCESD 2018), 9~11 February 2018, KUET, Khulna, Bangladesh (ISBN-978-984-34-3502-6) Simulating Hazardous Traffic Condition for Urban Expressways - A Micro- Simulation Approach Md Nafis Imtiyaz1, Md Golam Sobhani2 and Moinul Hossain3 1 Graduate Student, Islamic University of Technology, Bangladesh, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Graduate Student, Islamic University of Technology, Bangladesh, e-mail: [email protected] 3 Assistant Professor, Islamic University of Technology, Bangladesh, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Micro-simulation approach is a profound tool used by researchers to determine and analyze traffic characteristics. Micro-simulation approach gives access to car following as well as lane changing behavior of individual vehicle and allows analyzing their interactions by changing the parameters. CUBE Dynasim is a micro-simulation software developed by CITILABS which was used in this study. In CUBE Dynasim the normal traffic condition was created by using aggregated flow data obtained from Route 3 and Route 4 of Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway. The value of the parameters were altered to create hazardous traffic flow condition. In this study procedure to create a micro-simulation model is discussed in detail.Best possible result was obtained by changing the values of car-following maximum threshold and mean of threshold value for car following rules. Again, in case of lane changing behavior changing of heavy vehicle threshold, light vehicle average time, light vehicle minimum time, light vehicle maximum time, light vehicle standard deviation, light vehicle minimum distance, heavy vehicle average time, heavy vehicle minimum time, heavy vehicle maximum time, heavy vehicle standard deviation, heavy vehicle minimum distance reflected best result.
