IN-EAST Institute for East Asian Studies This paper recounts the experience of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake on 11th March 2011 and offers an assessment of reactions to it on personal, social and policy levels. Almost a decade after the event, it looks at traces of the disaster, discussing in particular the following questions. What were the consequences if any for Japan’s energy policy? What other conse- quences were there, for example, concerning crisis management? How did people integrate the earthquake into their view of history? How did the earthquake affect people’s life satisfaction? And how does it relate to current events? It argues that despite its for all concerned unpre- cedented severity the disaster led to gradual improvements, rather than fundamental change. Recollection: a personal view Is ten years ago “history”? To me it is the recent past. In a sense it’s the extended present; it is still with me.

Introduction Mega-landslides due to volcanic activities and earthquakes have caused severe damage to the surrounding areas. Sector collapse of volcanoes is one of the most destructive landslides. Debris avalanche deposits from a sector collapse generally form strange topography punctuated by hundreds of small hills, ridges and closed depressions. The 1792 Mayuyama sector collapse of Unzen volcano in Kyushu, southern Japan, caused debris avalanche which flowed through ancient Shimabara City and entered the sea.

Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 1 Abstract In this study I shall discuss the marriage politics of Japan's early ruling families (mainly from the 6th to the 12th centuries) and the adaptation of these practices to new circumstances by the leaders of the following centuries. Marriage politics culminated with the founder of the Edo bakufu, the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616). To show how practices continued to change, I shall discuss the weddings given by the fifth shogun sunaT yoshi (1646-1709) and the eighth shogun Yoshimune (1684-1751). The marriages of Tsunayoshi's natural and adopted daughters reveal his motivations for the adoptions and for his choice of the daughters’ husbands. The marriages of Yoshimune's adopted daughters show how his atypical philosophy of rulership resulted in a break with the earlier Tokugawa marriage politics.
