    Japan Is Shrouded in Mystique and Ancient History, and the Perfect Way to Unravel This Enigma Is by Exploring Its Landscape Gardens

    Japan is shrouded in mystique and ancient history, and the perfect way to unravel this enigma is by exploring its landscape gardens. Their basic design is based on capturing the grace and beauty of nature and bringing it into daily life. As simplistic as this may sound, the true magnificence of Japanese gardens is profound. They create soulful, refined and elegant spaces, a humbleness surrounded by nature. Landscape gardening has been an art form in Japan for centuries. Their designs can be put into three distinctive groups, namely hill gardens, dry gardens and tea gardens and can include everything from courtyards to streams and basic, austere spaces to lush, tropical environments. Some are highly groomed, while others look almost wild. The general landscaping theme is based on the principle of minimalist simplicity, including understated contrasts in hues and textures of green, and a near flawless harmony with the elements. This accord is attained through repetition and a semblance of balance. Japanese gardens generally follow several basic design principles: they are hugely reduced in scale, they are enclosed, the angle of view is crucial, they borrow scenery, and they hold balance and symbolism. Most Japanese gardens endeavor to duplicate the environment in miniature. The Japanese garden is a work of living art and a reflection of the Japanese spirit. Nothing is left to chance; every living thing in a garden exists for a reason and stands as a symbol for something else in Japanese culture. A simple garden walkway could reveal to us a part of the richness of Japanese history or its metaphorical significance.

    Preservation and Restoration of Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building

    Special edition paper Preservation and Restoration of Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building Atsushi Hayashi* Isamu Suzuki** Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building is a huge structure—an over 330 m-long and three-story high brick building completed as the central station of Tokyo about 100 years ago. The roof and the inside were burnt down in 1945 during World War II, and it had existed in a temporarily restored form since then. For the purpose of preservation and restoration of the building to its original appearance, an isolation system was adopted. Although the building has a complex location relative to nearby structures, as many as 352 isolators with 158 oil dampers have made it possible to control the shaking of the building. This work was carried out safely while many passengers used one of Japan's largest terminal stations every day. •Keywords: Preservation and restoration, Steel frame brick structure, Seismic isolation structure, Oil damper, Inverted construction method 1 Introduction had hotel guest rooms and restaurants on the southern half and Government Railway offices on the northern half. Advancement of urban functions and “formation of an urban space that makes the most of history and culture” are being promoted in Tokyo’s Marunouchi district with an aim of Tokyo being a “world-leading international city that is attractive and lively.” Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building bears a particularly important role in railway architectural history, presenting a “face” Fig. 1 Original Exterior View for the capitol of Tokyo. Its cultural value has been recognized, and it was designated an important cultural property of Japan 2.3 Earthquake and War in May 30, 2003.

    Japan Has Always Held an Important Place in Modern World Affairs, Switching Sides From

    Japan has always held an important place in modern world affairs, switching sides from WWI to WWII and always being at the forefront of technology. Yet, Japan never came up as much as China, Mongolia, and other East Asian kingdoms as we studied history at school. Why was that? Delving into Japanese history we found the reason; much of Japan’s history was comprised of sakoku, a barrier between it and the Western world, which wrote most of its history. How did this barrier break and Japan leap to power? This was the question we set out on an expedition to answer. With preliminary knowledge on Matthew Perry, we began research on sakoku’s history. We worked towards a middle; researching sakoku’s implementation, the West’s attempt to break it, and the impacts of Japan’s globalization. These three topics converged at the pivotal moment when Commodore Perry arrived in Japan and opened two of its ports through the Convention of Kanagawa. To further our knowledge on Perry’s arrival and the fall of the Tokugawa in particular, we borrowed several books from our local library and reached out to several professors. Rhoda Blumberg’s Commodore Perry in the Land of the Shogun presented rich detail ​ ​ into Perry’s arrival in Japan, while Professor Emi Foulk Bushelle of WWU answered several of our queries and gave us a valuable document with letters written by two Japanese officials. Professor John W. Dower’s website on MIT Visualizing Cultures offered analysis of several primary sources, including images and illustrations that represented the US and Japan’s perceptions of each other.
