  • Yamaguchi Prefecture 山 口
    Yamaguchi Prefecture 山 口 Hagi Castle ruins Yamaguchi is one of the few prefectures to have coastlines on both the Sea of Japan and the Seto Inland Sea or Pacific Ocean. The prefecture is the one at the south-western tip of the Japanese mainland and faces the island of Kyushu. Yamaguchi’s southern Seto coastline boasts the JR Sanyo Main Line and the shinkansen line that rapidly delivers passengers to Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. On the JR San’in Line along the Sea of Japan coast, the fastest trains travel at a much more sedate pace. But that can be an attraction in itself, a leisurely way to see a beautiful coastline with stunning sunsets. And it is here that you find the small former castle town of Hagi, once a hotbed of revolutionary thought. Even speeding along the southern coast, constructed without nails in 1673.

Gordon Dan Orbach Culture of Disobedience: Rebellion and Defiance in the Japanese Army, 1860-1931 Abstract Imperial Japanese soldiers were notorious for following their superiors to certain death. Their enemies in the Pacific War perceived their obedience as blind, and derided them as “cattle”. Yet the Japanese Army was arguably one of the most disobedient armies in the world. Officers repeatedly staged coups d’états, violent insurrections and political assassinations, while their associates defied orders given by both the government and high command, launched independent military operations against other countries, and in two notorious cases conspired to assassinate foreign leaders.

  • The Case of Hagi Domain
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE 〔論 説〕 The Expansion of Bakuhan Civil Education Policies in the Mid-Edo Period: The Case of Hagi Domain Zenan SHU Ⅰ．Introduction Previous studies of the founding of the Meirinkan 明倫館 domain school in Hagi have tended to be from the perspective either of intellectual history or as part of the local history of Hagi domain. The current study will examine the founding of the school from the standpoint of the wider history of education under the Bakuhan system of the Edo period, by looking at the school foundation’s links with events in the Bakufu, in particular with the Bakufu’s primary educational institution, the school and temple to Confucius at Yushima, which was a manifestation of the intentions and aspirations of the Bakufu authorities in regard to education. In doing so, it will be possible to clarify aspects of developments in the educational policies of the Bakufu and the domains, and the links between them. Ⅱ．Foundation of the Hagi Domain School: Background The Meirinkan school was founded in 1718 by the fifth lord of Hagi 萩 (or Chōshū 長 州) domain, Mōri Yoshimoto 毛利 吉元 (1677–1731, r. 1707–1731). The school building and associated Confucius temple were constructed on a 3102-square-metre site south of the Hagi castle walls; construction was completed in the twelfth month of 1718, and the school formally opened in the first month of 1719.（1） It is possible to isolate three background factors to explain why it was deemed necessary to found a domain school in Hagi at just this time: (1) to educate and inspire domain officials and the wider populace through training in both the literary and martial arts, as was already being done by the Bakufu in Edo; (2) a need to deal with social disorder, especially that arising out of the Mannyakuyama incident and the resulting abolition and then restoration of the （1） According to the Hagishi shi : “For the Meirinkan, a site of 940 tsubo was surveyed and prepared a short way west of the Sōmon Gate 惣門 at Hiyako 平安古 , south of the outer castle wall.

  • Appendix 6 Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel
    Appendix 6 Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining Partial Revision of the Hagi City Landscape Plan (The control method for the buffer zone of Area 1 Hagi) Summary This is the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) Report created by Hagi City in regard to partial revision of the Hagi City Landscape Plan for the buffer zone of Area 1 Hagi, a component part of the World Heritage Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining. Hagi City is considering partially revising the Hagi City Landscape Plan, which serves as the control method for the buffer zone of Area 1. The revisions are designed to create finer subdivisions within the buffer zone based on the particular nature and use of each so as to simultaneously protect the historical landscape while encouraging vibrancy by promoting commerce and industry. The specific content of the revisions would comprise clarification of a dedicated commercial area within a part of the buffer zone and partial revision of building height regulations solely within that area and along the bypass. The relevant component parts included in the Area 1 Hagi would be Hagi Castle Town (1-4) and Shokasonjuku Academy (1-5). The attributes which convey the outstanding universal value (OUV) of these two parts are, in the case of Hagi Castle Town, the layout of the town and the castle ruins, and, in the case of Shokasonjuku Academy, small wooden buildings, so the revisions would not have any direct impact on them. In addition, there is currently no concrete development schedule.

    Volume 15 | Issue 1 | Number 2 | Article ID 4996 | Jan 01, 2017 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Rasa Island: What Industrialization To Remember and Forget Hiromi Mizuno Abstract: Rasa Island, a small, remote coral deserted island with no tree, no inhabitant, and atoll of Okinawa, was once a robust company virtually no topsoil left. town of Rasa Phosphate Industry Inc. Now abandoned and forgotten, the barren island nonetheless tells a rich story of Japan’s industrialization, a counter-narrative to the problematically simplified and celebratory history provided at the Meiji Industrial Revolution Sites recently inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. By using Rasa Island and critical heritage studies scholarship, this article examines the place of “industrial heritage” in post-industrial societies and what kind of heritage is performed at Japan’s World Heritage sites. Keywords: Rasa Island, fertilizer, industrialization, World Heritage Unlike the sites discussed in the other articles in this special issue, my site, Rasa Island, is a Okidaitōjima forgotten one. In fact, it is a site of abandonment. Because of that, it raises the issue of what is and should be “heritage,” and The island’s history is intimately tied to colonial what kind of narrative of industrialexpansion over centuries. Its first recorded development gets mobilized for “industrial sighting was by the Spanish navigator heritage” for Japan. I present the story of Rasa Bernando de la Torre, on September 25, 1543 Island here as a historical counter-inquiry into during his mission to find a return route for the the fixated meanings the official industrial Spanish military and trade ships from the heritage sites attempt to attach to industrial Philippines to New Spain.

  • 678 Progress Report on the Urban Planning Project Road Construction
    Appendix h)-1 Progress report on the urban planning project road construction plan in the vicinity of Shuseikan Progress report on the urban planning project road construction plan in the vicinity of Shuseikan Summary This document reports the progress on the road construction plan in the vicinity of Shuseikan (Component Part 2-1), one of the Component Parts that comprises the “Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining” inscribed on the World Heritage List. We looked into the possibility of constructing a road outside of the Component Part along the seashore to the southeast of Shuseikan or in the hilly area to the northwest of it. Taking into account views from the Component Part, however, we have decided to construct an underground tunnel through the hilly area on the northwest side around the Component Part. Accordingly, the Kagoshima Prefectural Government is currently working toward an urban planning decision on the construction of the tunnel route within 2015. The new road will run partly through the edge of the Buffer Zone as an underground tunnel in the hilly area to the northwest of the Component Part. It will have no adverse effect on the Outstanding Universal Value of the Component Part, in terms of views from inside the Component Part or on the Buffer Zone designed to protect the property’s setting. Following the Prefectural Government’s decision of the aforementioned location of the new road on the urban planning as an official project, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism will work on the detailed design, budget for the construction, and take other necessary courses of action in stages.
