  • Sino-US Relations and Ulysses S. Grant's Mediation
    Looking for a Friend: Sino-U.S. Relations and Ulysses S. Grant’s Mediation in the Ryukyu/Liuqiu 琉球 Dispute of 1879 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad Michael Berry Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Christopher A. Reed, Advisor Robert J. McMahon Ying Zhang Copyright by Chad Michael Berry 2014 Abstract In March 1879, Japan announced the end of the Ryukyu (Liuqiu) Kingdom and the establishment of Okinawa Prefecture in its place. For the previous 250 years, Ryukyu had been a quasi-independent tribute-sending state to Japan and China. Following the arrival of Western imperialism to East Asia in the 19th century, Japan reacted to the changing international situation by adopting Western legal standards and clarifying its borders in frontier areas such as the Ryukyu Islands. China protested Japanese actions in Ryukyu, though Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) leaders were not willing to go to war over the islands. Instead, Qing leaders such as Li Hongzhang (1823-1901) and Prince Gong (1833-1898) sought to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means, including appeals to international law, rousing global public opinion against Japan, and, most significantly, requesting the mediation of the United States and former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885). Initially, China hoped Grant’s mediation would lead to a restoration of the previous arrangement of Ryukyu being a dually subordinate kingdom to China and Japan. In later negotiations, China sought a three-way division of the islands among China, Japan, and Ryukyu.

  • Winds Over Ryukyu. a Narrative on the 17Th Century Ryukyu Kingdom
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository Mikołaj Melanowicz Winds over Ryukyu . A Narrative on the 17th Century Ryukyu Kingdom Introduction A historical drama ( taiga dorama 大河ドラマ), broadcast by Japanese public television NHK about the Ryukyu Kingdom – the present Okinawa prefecture – was an important event which brought back to life things that many Japanese would prefer to remain concealed. The story concerns the history of the Ryukyu Kingdom’s subjugation by the Japanese in the seventeenth century. Before that time, the Ryukyu Kingdom had maintained trade relations with China, the Philippines, Japan and even South-East Asia. It was a period of prosperity stretching over the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the time when the kingdom was united and strengthen. The TV series was based on the novel Ryūkyū no kaze (Winds over Ryukyu, 1992), by Chin Shunshin, a well-known writer of Chinese origin. The novel is 900 pages long and divided into three volumes: Dotō no maki ( 怒涛の巻: ’the book of angry waves’), Shippū no maki ( 疾風の 巻 雷雨の巻 : ‘the book of the violent1 wind’), and Raiu no maki ( : ‘the book of the thunderstorm’) . These titles reflect the increasing danger faced by the heroes of the novel and the 100,000 inhabitants of the archipelago. The danger comes from the north, from the Japanese island of Kyushu, the south-eastern part of which was governed by a clan from Satsuma ( 薩摩, present Kagoshima 鹿児島). The Characters of Winds over Ryukyu The heroes of the novel are two fictional brothers: Keitai, who pursues a political career, and Keizan, who devotes himself to the art of dance in its native form; and their girlfriends, future wives, Aki and Ugi.

  • THE RYUKYU ISLANDS by William P
    THE RYUKYU ISLANDS by William P. Lebra Introduction The commonly held stereotype of Japan as a culturally and linguistically homogeneous nation overlooks the existence of more than one million Ryukyuans (not to mention the Ainu, Chinese, and Koreans) also present in Japan. To illustrate more vividly that point I considered, somewhat face- tiously, subtitling this paper with a well-known Okinawan joke, "Urukun Nippon du yaibii ga yaa" ("Is Oroku a part of Japan?"), which pokes fun at the dialect spoken by the inhabitants of the Oroku district of Naha, the capital of the Ryukyu Islands. It also expresses, I believe, the concern withidentity vis-&-vis Japan common among Ryukyuans. This problem of identity derives from the fact that the Ryukyus have maintained culture(s) and language(s) quite separate and distinct from those of Japan until very recent times. The island groups of Amami, Okinawa, Miyako, and Yaeyama encompass at least four related yet mutually un- intelligible languages which make up the Ryukyuan branch of a Japanese- Ryukyuan family. From 1372 until 1874 the Ryukyu kingdom made regular tribute payments to China, permitting a beneficial trade and assimilation of many aspects of Chinese culture. Although conquest by Satsuma in 1609 reduced the small state to vassalage, a high degree of cultural and political autonomy was permitted; moreover, interaction with China, especially trade, was actually encouraged to the benefit of Satsuma. This duality of cultural influences has been well-recognized by Ryukyuans; for example, the author of the Kian Nikki (1618-1619) ascribes to "elders" the saying, "Think of China as grandmother and regard Japan as grandfather." Al- though the Japanese government announced annexation in 1872, direct administration did not occur until March 30, 1879, when the last king, Sh6 Tai, was forcibly removed by soldiers to permanent exile in Tokyo.

  • THE UNIVERSITY of HULL New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland: Return migration from South America to mainland Japan and Okinawa being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Naoko Horikawa MSc January 2012 New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland: Return migration from South America to mainland Japan and Okinawa Naoko Horikawa MSc January 2012 Thesis Abstract This work presents a study of identity formation in migrants of Japanese and Okinawan descent who relocate from countries of South America to mainland Japan and to the island prefecture of Okinawa, initially to seek economic advantage. The migrants, called Nikkeijin, are predominantly progeny of earlier migrants from Japan to South America. In a cross-generational sense, they are return migrants. The ethnographic study, based on field research conducted in two sites on the mainland and in Okinawa, compares Nikkeijin experience and attitudes as they interact with native Japanese. Because of their Japanese background, Nikkeijin benefit from privileged visa status; nonetheless, in Japan they are treated as foreigners, and their identity diversifies. Nikkeijin are found to construct simultaneous social fields in both the country of departure and the new environment. This situation may be recognized through the concept of transnationalism. I argue that Nikkeijin self-identity can be multiple and flexible, and does not necessarily coincide with social identity. An increasing and officially promoted diasporic consciousness among migrants of Okinawan descent would seem to produce a different ethnic response to any on the mainland and a greater potential for integration. My thesis should contribute to the understanding of identity in Nikkeijin return migration.

  • ICRP Calendar
    The notions of International Relations (IR) in capital letters and international relations (ir) in lowercase letters have two different meanings. The first refers to a scholarly discipline while the second one means a set of contemporary events with historical importance, which influences global-politics. In order to make observations, formulate theories and describe patterns within the framework of ‘IR’, one needs to fully comprehend specific events related to ‘ir’. It is why the Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) believes that a timeline on which all the significant events of international relations are identified might be beneficial for students, scholars or professors who deal with International Relations. In the following document all the momentous wars, treaties, pacts and other happenings are enlisted with a monthly division, which had considerable impact on world-politics. January 1800 | Nationalisation of the Dutch East Indies The Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. It was formed 01 from the nationalised colonies of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800. 1801 | Establishment of the United Kingdom On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland left the union as the Irish Free State in 1922, leading to the remaining state being renamed as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927. 1804 | Haiti independence declared The independence of Haiti was recognized by France on 17 April 1825.

Long abstract The now called Okinawa ken (province) in southern Japan, was the Ryukyu kingdom (1372-1879) also known as land of Courtesy because of its intense diplomatic and trade relations with Southeast Asian countries. In his long and prosper live possessed so intense court activities, receiving foreign delegations, and then developed an immense scenic and artistic refinement.

Okinawa is known as the land of music and dance, and it is through the expression of sound and movements that we find few differences in human feelings and understanding.
