  • Rapid Range Expansion of the Feral Raccoon (Procyon Lotor) in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, and Its Impact on Native Organisms
    Rapid range expansion of the feral raccoon (Procyon lotor) in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, and its impact on native organisms Hisayo Hayama, Masato Kaneda, and Mayuh Tabata Kanagawa Wildlife Support Network, Raccoon Project. 1-10-11-2 Takamoridai, Isehara 259-1115, Kanagawa, Japan Abstract The distribution of feral raccoons (Procyon lotor) was surveyed in Kanagawa Prefecture, central Japan. Information was collected mainly through use of a questionnaire to municipal offices, environment NGOs, and hunting specialists. The raccoon occupied 26.5% of the area of the prefecture, and its distribution range doubled over three years (2001 to 2003). The most remarkable change was the range expansion of the major population in the south-eastern part of the prefecture, and several small populations that were found throughout the prefecture. Predation by feral raccoons on various native species probably included endangered Tokyo salamanders (Hynobius tokyoensis), a freshwater Asian clam (Corbicula leana), and two large crabs (Helice tridens and Holometopus haematocheir). The impact on native species is likely to be more than negligible. Keywords: Feral raccoon; Procyon lotor; distribution; questionnaire; invasive alien species; native species; Kanagawa Prefecture INTRODUCTION The first record of reproduction of the feral raccoon presence of feral raccoons between 2001 and 2003 in Kanagawa Prefecture was from July 1990, and it and the reliability of the information. One of the was assumed that the raccoon became naturalised in issues relating to reliability is possible confusion with this prefecture around 1988 (Nakamura 1991). the native raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides; Damage by feral raccoons is increasing and the Canidae), which has a similar facial pattern with a number of raccoons, captured as part of the wildlife black band around the eyes, and a similar body size to pest control programme, is also rapidly increasing.

  • “Modernization” of Buddhist Statuary in the Meiji Period
    140 The Buddha of Kamakura The Buddha of Kamakura and the “Modernization” of Buddhist Statuary in the Meiji Period Hiroyuki Suzuki, Tokyo Gakugei University Introduction During Japan’s revolutionary years in the latter half of the nineteenth century, in particular after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, people experienced a great change in the traditional values that had governed various aspects of their life during the Edo period (1603-1867). In their religious life, Buddhism lost its authority along with its economic basis because the Meiji government, propagating Shintoism, repeatedly ordered the proclamation of the separation of Shintoism and Buddhism after the Restoration. The proclamation brought about the anti-Buddhist movement haibutsu kishaku and the nationwide movement doomed Buddhist statuary to a fate it had never before met.1 However, a number of statues were fortunately rescued from destruction and became recognized as sculptural works of Buddhist art in the late 1880s. This paper examines the change of viewpoints that occurred in the 1870s whereby the Buddha of Kamakura, a famous colossus of seated Amida (Amitâbha) from the mid-thirteenth century, was evaluated afresh by Western viewers; it also tries to detect the thresholds that marked the path toward a general acceptance of the idea that Buddhist statuary formed a genre of sculptural works in the fine arts during the Meiji period (1868-1912). Buddhist statuary in the 1870s It is widely known that the term bijutsu was coined in 1872, when the Meiji government translated the German words Kunstgewerbe (arts and crafts) and bildende Kunst (fine arts) in order to foster nationwide participation in the Vienna World Exposition of 1873.

  • 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.
