  • Tokyo National Museum
    Ⅱ Outline of the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage The Independent Administrative Institution (IAI), National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, was formed in April 2007 through the merging of the IAI National Museums (Tokyo National Museum, Kyoto National Museum, Nara National Museum, and Kyushu National Museum) and the IAI National Research Institutes for Cultural Properties (Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties and Nara National Research Institute for Cultural Properties), all of which share the same mission: the conservation and utilization of cultural properties. With the addition of the International Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region, which was established in October 2011, the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage now comprise a total of seven separate institutions. Japan’s cultural properties are the precious assets of the Japanese people. In order to preserve and utilize these properties more effectively and efficiently under unified management, each ofthe seven existing institutions plays the following roles: Tokyo National Museum Kyoto National Museum Nara National Museum As Japan’s foremost museum in the The Kyoto National Museum collects, Nara National Museum collects, pre- humanities field, Tokyo National Mu- preserves, manages, and exhibits serves, manages, and displays cultural seum collects, preserves, manages, cultural properties, while also properties, while also conducting re- and displays cultural properties from conducting research and providing search and providing educational pro- across Japan and other Asian regions, educational programs.

  • Anime and Historical Inversion in Miyazaki Hayao's Princess
    Anime and Historical Inversion in Miyazaki Hayao’s Princess Mononoke John A. Tucker East Carolina University Introduction If box office receipts are any indication of cultural significance, then Miyazaki Hayao’s Princess Mononoke (Mononokehime, 1997) surely stands as one of the most important works of late-twentieth-century Japanese popular culture: currently it remains the highest-grossing (¥16.65 billion, approximately $150 million) domestic film in Japanese history. Prior to the release of The Titanic, Princess Mononoke eclipsed E.T. and reigned as the biggest box-office hit ever, domestic or foreign, in Japan. While The Titanic has since surpassed Princess Mononoke in overall ticket sales, over 13.53 million Japanese, or more than one-tenth of the population, have watched Princess Mononoke in theatres, and over five million copies of the video have been sold domestically (Yoneda, 204). Princess Mononoke also stands as the most expensive animated movie ever made in Japan, with a 3 billion yen (approximately $30 million) production cost (Wakita et al., 168). Critics have lauded it in literally hundreds of media reviews, especially in Japanese film and popular culture publications such as Kinema junpō, SAPIO, Nyūmedeia, AERA, uirumumeekaazu, Bessatsu Comicbox, Bessatsu Takarajima, Tech Win, Shunkan Kinyōbi, Video Doo!, Yurika, Cinema Talk, and SPA!, as well as in the major newspapers, periodicals, and regional media. Additionally, Princess Mononoke has been awarded numerous prizes, most notably the 21st Japan Academy Award for Best Film (Kuji, 3-4; Schilling, 3). Not surprisingly the film has been released internationally, with an English language version, featuring numerous familiar American voices, including that of Gillian Anderson and Billy Bob Thornton, thus making it exceptionally accessible in the United States for anime fans, and those interested in Japanese history and culture.

  • The Body As a Mode of Conceptualization in the Kojiki Cosmogony1）
    47 The Body as a Mode of Conceptualization in the Kojiki Cosmogony1） ロ ー ベ ルト・ヴィットカン プ WITTKAMP, Robert F. Although the Kojiki was submitted to the court in 712, it is not mentioned in the Shoku Nihongi, which contains the official history from 697 till 791. This paper is based on the assumption that intrinsic reasons were at least partially at work and will address the problem by subjecting the conceptualization of the text to closer review. “Conceptu- alization” refers to kōsō 構想（concept, idea, design of a text）, an important concept used in text-oriented Kojiki research to describe the selections and restrictions of words, phrases or stories and their arrangement in a coherent and closed text. The examina- tion shows that mi 身（“body”） belongs to the keywords in Kojiki myths, and another assumption is that the involvement of mi is a unique feature of Kojiki text design which distinguishes the work from the Nihon Shoki myths – one, which possibly overshot the mark. キーワード：日本神話（Japanese myths）、古事記（Kojiki）、構想（conceptualiza- tion）、身（body）、上代史（pre-Heian history） 1） This paper is based on a talk given at a conference at Hamburg University（ Arbeitskreis vormoderne Literatur Japans, 2017, June 29th to July 2nd）． 48 According to its preface the Kojiki is an official chronicle which was commissioned by Genmei Tenno in 711 and submitted some months later in 712. But why is it not mentioned in the Shoku Nihongi, the second of the six Japanese histories（ rikkokushi 六国史） of the Nara and Heian period, which contains the official history from 697 till 791 and was submitted in 797? There are many possible explanations, ranging from a forged Kojiki preface to the simple fact that other texts of the eighth century are not mentioned either.
