    The Miare Festival is an expression of the living faith of local fishermen. Chapter 3 Justification for Inscription 3.1.a Brief Synthesis 3.1.b Criteria Under Which Inscription is Proposed 3.1.c Statement of Integrity 3.1.d Statement of Authenticity 3.1.e Protection and Management Requirements 3.2 Comparative Analysis 3.3 Proposed Statement of Outstanding Universal Value The Sacred Island of Okinoshima and Associated Sites in the Munakata Region Chapter 3 Justification for Inscription Justification for Inscription 3.1.a Brief Synthesis The Sacred Island of Okinoshima and Associated Sites in the Munakata Region is located in the western coastal area of Japan. It is a serial cultural property that has eight component parts, all of which are linked to the worship of a sacred island that has continued from the fourth century to the present day. These component parts include Okitsu-miya of Munakata Taisha, which encompasses the entire island of Okinoshima and its three attendant reefs, located in the strait between the Japanese archipelago and the Korean peninsula; Okitsu- miya Yohaisho and Nakatsu-miya of Munakata Taisha, located on the island of Oshima; and Hetsu-miya of Munakata Taisha and the Shimbaru-Nuyama Mounded Tomb Group, located on the main island of Kyushu. Okinoshima has unique archaeological sites that have survived nearly intact, providing a chronological account of how ancient rituals based on nature worship developed from the fourth to the ninth centuries. It is of outstanding archaeological value also because of the number and quality of offerings discovered there, underscoring the great importance of the rituals and serving as evidence of their evolution over a period of 500 years, in the midst of a process of dynamic overseas exchange in East Asia.

It focuses mainly on painting and graphic arts, and selected aspects of photography, design and architecture. Appropriation from Japanese sources triggered the articulation of new visual and conceptual languages which helped forge new art and art educational paradigms that would define the modern age. Starting with Polish fin-de-siècle Japonisme, it examines the role of Western European artistic centres, mainly Paris, in the initial dissemination of Japonisme in Poland, and considers the exceptional case of Julian Żałat, who had first-hand experience of Japan. The second phase of Polish Japonisme (1901-1918) was nourished on local, mostly Cracovian, infrastructure put in place by the ‘godfather’ of Polish Japonisme Żeliks Manggha Jasieski. His pro-Japonisme agency is discussed at length.

  • A Critical Analysis of Travel Essays of Foreign Visitors to Meiji Era Enoshima
    Journal of the Ochanomizu University English Society No. 4（2013） Encounters with the Goddess: A Critical Analysis of Travel Essays of Foreign Visitors to Meiji Era Enoshima Patrick Hein Synopsis Enoshima is an important pilgrimage site dedicated to the Benten goddess. This essay exposes how two early Meiji foreign travellers –the American zoologist Edward S. Morse and the Irish writer Lafcadio Hearn- have presented and interpreted what they saw in Enoshima. Both men try to convey a frank and accurate picture of their observations but ultimately fail to fully capture and grasp the deeper social and historical context of Enoshima’s significance and its importance for religious leaders and worldly rulers of the time. The reasons for this are twofold: their intellectual representations of Enoshima are influenced and shaped by their translators on one hand and by their strong exposure to the dominant 19th century ideology of social Darwinism on the other hand. 1. Introduction When individuals invent new communities, societies, and nations—both now and in the past—they create gods, rituals, and miracles to support them. Even what seem to be some of the most timeless and sacred sites in the world have been shaped, reshaped, and reinterpreted to find new relevance and meaning in a world of incessant change. A major challenge for anyone interested in Japan today is to understand where ancient religious worship, pilgrimage and the gods fit in the structures of modern contemporary Japan. Many stories, tales, plays and novels have traced the power of sacred places and benevolent gods (Hardacre, Thal). While some stories focus upon the miraculous and divine power of religion and the gods, other narratives seem to underscore the more profane and tangible nature of such beliefs.

That volume was first published in 1994, with a revised compact edition published in 1999. The main text of Shinto jiten is translated into English and publicly available in its entirety at the Kokugakuin University website as "The Encyclopedia of Shinto" (EOS). This English edition of the chronology is based on the one that appeared in the revised version of the Jiten. It is already available online, but it is also being published in book form in hopes of facilitating its use. The original Japanese-language chronology was produced by Inoue Nobutaka and Namiki Kazuko. The English translation was prepared by Carl Freire, with assistance from Kobori Keiko. Translation and publication of the chronology was carried out as part of the "Digital Museum Operation and Development for Educational Purposes" project of the Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics, Organization for the Advancement of Research and Development, Kokugakuin University. I hope it helps to advance the pursuit of Shinto research throughout the world. Inoue Nobutaka Project Director January 2016 ***** Translated from the Japanese original Shinto jiten, shukusatsuban.

Of the inner life of the Japanese the world at large knows but little: their religion, their superstitions, their ways of thought, the hidden springs by which they move--all these are as yet mysteries.' This invisible life referred to by Mr. Mitford is the Unfamiliar Japan of which I have been able to obtain a few glimpses. The reader may, perhaps, be disappointed by their rarity; for a residence of little more than four years among the people--even by one who tries to adopt their habits and customs--scarcely suffices to enable the foreigner to begin to feel at home in this world of strangeness.
