Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 2 Abstract This section discusses the complex psychological and philosophical reason for Shogun Yoshimune’s contrasting handlings of his two adopted daughters’ and his favorite son’s weddings. In my thinking, Yoshimune lived up to his philosophical principles by the illogical, puzzling treatment of the three weddings. We can witness the manifestation of his modest and frugal personality inherited from his ancestor Ieyasu, cohabiting with his strong but unconventional sense of obligation and respect for his benefactor Tsunayoshi.

  • My Experience in Japan
    My experience in Japan Federal Rural University of Amazon, Department of Forest Engineering, 3rd year, Beatriz Cordeiro Costa Tokyo NODAI Department: International Agriculture Development This is a little report about my experience in Japan. After this program, I became a better person and I only have to thank everyone who made my dream come true. I cannot believe that my big dream finally was real. I am really happy because I could meet very special people of all this big world. This year I was really happy because I received the big chance of studying in Tokyo Nodai University, Japan, because of the program Re-inventing Japan. An incredible program allows the meeting between many nations in the world and the knowledge sharing. I remember exactly the feeling of the first day in Japan. I was overwhelmed with the university dynamic and with the wonderful Japanese culture, food, religion and many other things. In addition, people there are very helpful, kind- hearted and efficient. Everything is beautiful and works. I realized that Japanese worry about all the minimal details and it is very nice. I know that this opportunity will change my life forever and I only want to say thanks for everyone who made this dream a real thing in my life. The main reason for participating in this study program is to have a new experience in a different country from mine. I think every person has to know about the world around. It can happen when we taste different food, when we meet new people, when we know about other cultures, religions etc.

  • Faith and Power in Japanese Buddhist Art, 1600-2005
    japanese art | religions graham FAITH AND POWER IN JAPANESE BUDDHIST ART, 1600–2005 Faith and Power in Japanese Buddhist Art explores the transformation of Buddhism from the premodern to the contemporary era in Japan and the central role its visual culture has played in this transformation. The chapters elucidate the thread of change over time in the practice of Bud- dhism as revealed in sites of devotion and in imagery representing the FAITH AND POWER religion’s most popular deities and religious practices. It also introduces the work of modern and contemporary artists who are not generally as- sociated with institutional Buddhism but whose faith inspires their art. IN JAPANESE BUDDHIST ART The author makes a persuasive argument that the neglect of these ma- terials by scholars results from erroneous presumptions about the aes- thetic superiority of early Japanese Buddhist artifacts and an asserted 160 0 – 20 05 decline in the institutional power of the religion after the sixteenth century. She demonstrates that recent works constitute a significant contribution to the history of Japanese art and architecture, providing evidence of Buddhism’s persistent and compelling presence at all levels of Japanese society. The book is divided into two chronological sections. The first explores Buddhism in an earlier period of Japanese art (1600–1868), emphasiz- ing the production of Buddhist temples and imagery within the larger political, social, and economic concerns of the time. The second section addresses Buddhism’s visual culture in modern Japan (1868–2005), specifically the relationship between Buddhist institutions prior to World War II and the increasingly militaristic national government that had initially persecuted them.
