Thank you for the introduction. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for joining us for this international seminar. At the opening of this seminar, please allow me to say a few words. Our center is acting as a WHO collaborating center for disability prevention and rehabilitation. Today's seminar is organized as a part of the WHO collaborating center activities. Now, the theme for today, as you know, is mobility support for persons with disabilities, focusing on the software aspects of human support. People moving from one place to another is obviously an important part of people's day-to-day living, commuting to work or going to school or visiting friends and going on sightseeing. This is an important requirement to realize communication and interactions with society. In mobility, improvement of what is called hardware aspects such as roads and transportation is extremely important. However, at the same time involvement of people, or what we call software aspects, is just as important. Today we would like to focus on this software aspect of the mobility. The software side is about person-to-person interactions so there must be many commonalities as well as differences because of the different cultures from one country to another. Today we have invited from Asia and Japan those active in this field as persons with disabilities themselves or representatives of organizations at the forefront in building conducive environments for tourism in Japan as well as experts involved in training programs for persons with disabilities to speak to us. They will also participate in the discussions that will follow to the challenges to be addressed in improving mobility and accessibility for those with disabilities. As people with different backgrounds exchange views with one another, I hope this seminar will prove to be a fruitful one to persons with disabilities and to society as a whole which will allow us to see the next steps to be taken. Thank you for your attention. 1 2 Presentation Being included in the Community Saowalak Thongkuay Regional Development Officer, DPI Asia Pacific Region 〔Biography 〕 Work experiences 2007- present: Regional Development Officer, DPIAP 2002-2006: Project Assistant, APCD Education Master degree of Education Program in Human Resource Development, Ramkhamhaeng University B.B.A. Public Relations, Ramkhamhaeng University Achievements: An outstanding women to promote women human rights, The Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, Royal Thai Government,2008 A Founder of ASEAN Disability Forum (ADF) Subcommittee on Women Equality Act 2015 〔 Summary 〕 Experiences of institutionalization and/ or isolation of persons with disabilities within their communities over centuries resulted in exclusion from the social, economic and political participation is one of the major reasons for the provisions of article 19 in the Convention. Living independently in the title of CRPD Article 19 does not necessarily mean living alone. It refers to the CRPD Preamble that the global community recognizes the importance for persons with disabilities of their individual autonomy and independence, including the freedom to make their own choices as well as build on the principle of respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy including the freedom to make one’s own choices, and independence of persons. Various factors and multi-sectoral issues have resulted in persons with disabilities being denied the right to live and be included in the community. Discrimination and barriers in the community have constantly contributed to isolation and restriction of participation of persons with disabilities in their community all other the world and through ages. Therefore, community supports can take many different forms. The main idea depending on the support needs of the person is about having key people in the community, families, friends, frequently used service providers who know the person and some of the issues persons with disabilities might have in given circumstances and that can be supportive them in managing daily living issues, making important decision or overcoming crisis moment. It is crucial that the person’s autonomy and choices are fully respected. 5 Being included in the Community Saowalak Thongkuay Regional Development Officer, DPI Asia-Pacific Regional Office Thank you very much, moderator. First of all, I want to say thank you to the organizer to give me the opportunity. I am happy to be one of the members of the presenters and I am a female among those man presenters. I want to begin my presentation rather than giving a lot of introductions because I have only 30 minutes and now 19 minutes left and I have prepared 28 slides. Even though the topic is really connected to - I mean specific to human support, however human support can be in various means of support, not only giving of hands-on daily support but also the other necessities to develop an independent life of persons with disabilities. Therefore, my presentation will include information and necessary issue related to the Convention on the Lives of Persons with Disabilities. As the introductions, my presentation is under DPI APD's terms. I am working at the regional development office; my office is in Bangkok. I want to start with quick things. You think about - you answer my questions by yourselves within five seconds. The first question is how many friends do you have? One, two, three, four, five. The second question is how many friends with disabilities do you have? One, two, three, four, five. Do you get the answer by yourselves, by your own? The third question is how many colleagues without disability do you have? One, two, three, four, five. The fourth, the last question: how many colleagues with disability do you have? Now you get the questions? The number of your friends with and without disabilities. The issue is we have to think the difference of why the number of persons with disabilities related to our lives are very, very small and sometimes difficult to answer the questions. As well as it is difficult to answer the question of having friends without disability, because we could not count. Come back to disability and development. This is the evolution. We start from medical and charity-based model, the way of our thinking. And then, I'll turn to rehabilitation and then rights-based society and human rights and empowerment. Right now in this period we are on this way, rights-based societies, human rights and empowerment. Why do we have to talk about community? It should start with government and persons

    Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei mandara Talia J. Andrei Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2016 © 2016 Talia J.Andrei All rights reserved Abstract Mapping Sacred Spaces: Representations of Pleasure and Worship in Sankei Mandara Talia J. Andrei This dissertation examines the historical and artistic circumstances behind the emergence in late medieval Japan of a short-lived genre of painting referred to as sankei mandara (pilgrimage mandalas). The paintings are large-scale topographical depictions of sacred sites and served as promotional material for temples and shrines in need of financial support to encourage pilgrimage, offering travelers worldly and spiritual benefits while inspiring them to donate liberally. Itinerant monks and nuns used the mandara in recitation performances (etoki) to lead audiences on virtual pilgrimages, decoding the pictorial clues and touting the benefits of the site shown. Addressing themselves to the newly risen commoner class following the collapse of the aristocratic order, sankei mandara depict commoners in the role of patron and pilgrim, the first instance of them being portrayed this way, alongside warriors and aristocrats as they make their way to the sites, enjoying the local delights, and worship on the sacred grounds. Together with the novel subject material, a new artistic language was created— schematic, colorful and bold. We begin by locating sankei mandara’s artistic roots and influences and then proceed to investigate the individual mandara devoted to three sacred sites: Mt. Fuji, Kiyomizudera and Ise Shrine (a sacred mountain, temple and shrine, respectively).

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

This work aims to describe the geotourism potential of the region based on the significant rock exposures, and sets out the basis for establishing geosites in this region in the future. Geologically important sites have been selected, together with places of unique history and culture within the northern part of the eastern Kii Peninsula, including the Ise and Toba areas. The results of this study include a detailed description of the geology and history of the region, together with an evaluation of the relative value of each selected locality as a geosite. Proper development and promotion of the proposed sites would make the sites available for education and tourism, and provide opportunities for suitable development and the popularization of geological knowledge.

  • Shaman-Queens and Sacral Princesses
    SHAMAN-QUEENS AND SACRAL PRINCESSES A Re-Examination of the “Golden Age” Narrative of Female Sacral Power in Ancient Japan Natalie Louise McKay ORCID: 0000-0002-2620-0372 Doctor of Philosophy – Arts October 2020 Asia Institute, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne School of Japanese History, Graduate School of Letters, University of Kyoto Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy – Arts 1 Abstract Among scholarship of ancient Japanese women’s history, a traditional narrative has formed in which the ancient period emerges as a “golden age” of female power, an age in which women – through magico-religious performance – occupied positions of authority that were later usurped by the coming of patriarchal value systems, surviving only in traces. Recent decades have seen revisions to this “golden age” narrative, proposing more complex models of how this ancient “power” may have been configured, and how it may have been eroded by changing gender norms. However, many core assumptions from the early “golden age” narrative persist throughout modern scholarship, such as the existence of contrapuntal male-female rule as a standard format of power across the archipelago, or the interpretation of later female positions of (sacral or monarchic) power as direct legacies of a more empowered age. This research thus performs a critical re-evaluation of the “golden age” narrative in its various incarnations, examining its arguments against images of women and female sacral performance from a variety of surviving contemporary texts. It also aims to bring to light new perspectives on the discourse, such as the overlooked consideration of regional diversity in ancient Japan, and the multiplicity encompassed within the concept of “power”.
