    Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei By ©2016 Alison Miller Submitted to the graduate degree program in the History of Art and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko ________________________________ Dr. Sherry Fowler ________________________________ Dr. David Cateforis ________________________________ Dr. John Pultz ________________________________ Dr. Akiko Takeyama Date Defended: April 15, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Alison Miller certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Mother of the Nation: Femininity, Modernity, and Class in the Image of Empress Teimei ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Maki Kaneko Date approved: April 15, 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the political significance of the image of the Japanese Empress Teimei (1884-1951) with a focus on issues of gender and class. During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

  • Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Update Friday, April 1, 2011 Overview
    Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Update Friday, April 1, 2011 Note: New content has been inserted in red, italicized, bold font. Overview A powerful 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit Japan on March 11 at 1446 local time (0546 GMT), unleashing massive tsunami waves that crashed into Japan’s northeastern coast of Honshu, the largest and main island of Japan, resulting in widespread damage and destruction. According to the Government of Japan (GoJ), as of Friday (April 1), 11,734 people are confirmed dead and 16,375 people are reported to be missing. (Kyodo, Reuters, April 1) There are no new figures for the number of injured, but the UN reported last week that 2,766 people 1 were injured. Casualty numbers are likely to increase as emergency teams continue to reach and assess affected areas. The earthquake sparked widespread tsunami warnings across the Pacific. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), the shallow quake struck at a depth of six miles (10 km) (20 km deep according to Japan’s Meteorological Agency), around 80 miles (125 km) off the eastern coast of Japan, and 240 miles (380 km) northeast of Tokyo. Key Concerns: • There are more than 166,000 evacuees. • UN says priority needs remain: fuel, prefabricated housing, clothing and medicine. Request for international assistance Japan has asked for international help to deal with the disaster and has so far received offers of assistance from 134 countries and 33 international organizations. It has accepted relief items from 24 countries to date. According to OCHA, the GoJ says the need for further international assistance is limited and any support should be in accordance with the GoJ’s criteria.

    Notes For complete author names, titles, and publication data for works cited here in short form, see the Works Cited list at the back of the book. Introduction 1. It is problematic to use the term “emperor” to describe the monarch throughout most of Japanese history. As Joan R. Piggott reminds us in The Emergence of Japanese Kingship, “The term empire is strongly associated with a martial political formation founded on conquest” (8). For most of Japanese history, Japanese monarchs did not preside over empires. The monarchs of Imperial Japan (1890–1945)did rule over an empire that came to include numerous overseas possessions, however. In the case of Hirohito (r. 1926–89), he ascended to the throne as the sovereign of an empire, and thus the term “emperor” is an appropriate title for him for the period from 1926 to 1945. Strictly speaking, the term “emperor” does not describe Japan’s monarch since 1945, for Japan no longer has an empire and the monarch does not even remain sovereign. In the end, however, I decided to use the term “emperor” (as well as terms such as “monarch”) for the postwar period in part because it seemed confusing to switch back and forth between “emperor” for the prewar period and, say, “king” for the postwar period, and also because it served to highlight one of the most important transwar continuities regarding the Japanese throne: Hirohito, who ascended to the throne with the mindset of a sovereign emperor, remained on the throne even as the Japanese empire collapsed and the politico-legal system defining his position underwent sweeping reform.

  • Urban Reform and Shrinking City Hypotheses on the Global City Tokyo
    Urban Reform and Shrinking City Hypotheses on the Global City Tokyo Hiroshige TANAKA Professor of Economic Faculty in Chuo University, 742-1Higashinakano Hachioji city Tokyo 192-0393, Japan. Chiharu TANAKA1 Manager, Mitsubishi UFJ Kokusai Asset Management Co.,Ltd.,1-12-1 Yurakucho, Chiyodaku, Tokyo 100-0006, Japan. Abstract The relative advantage among industries has changed remarkably and is expected to bring the alternatives of progressive and declining urban structural change. The emerging industries to utilize ICT, AI, IoT, financial and green technologies foster the social innovation connected with reforming the urban structure. The hypotheses of the shrinking city forecast that the decline of main industries has brought the various urban problems including problems of employment and infrastructure. But the strin- gent budget restriction makes limit the region on the social and market system that the government propels the replacement of industries and urban infrastructures. By developing the two markets model of urban structural changes based on Tanaka (1994) and (2013), we make clear theoretically and empirically that the social inno- vation could bring spreading effects within the limited area of the region, and that the social and economic network structure prevents the entire region from corrupting. The results of this model analysis are investigated by moves of the municipal average income par taxpayer of the Tokyo Area in the period of 2011 to 2014 experimentally. Key words: a new type of industrial revolution, shrinking city, social innovation, the connectivity of the Tokyo Area, urban infrastructures. 1. Introduction The policies to liberalize economies in the 1990s have accelerated enlargement of the 1 C.

  • State Guest House
    A Brief History of the Akasaka State Guest House The Akasaka State Guest House, since opening in 1974, continues to provide accom- modation for state and official guests of the Japanese government, including monarchs, presidents and prime ministers from countries all over the world. It serves as a splendid stage for diplomatic activities, such as welcoming ceremonies, and meetings and receptions attended by leading figures in the political, business and academic circles. It has also functioned as a venue for such important international conferences as the Tokyo G7 Summit meetings and the Japan-ASEAN Commemorative Summit of 2003. The Akasaka State Guest House was constructed originally as the Crown Prince`s Palace. Building started in 1899, just 31 years after the end of feudalism in Japan, and the Palace was completed in 1909. The site chosen for the Palace was a part of the Edo (present day Tokyo) mansion of the Kishu Tokugawa family. This was an important site, since the Kishu Tokugawa family was one of the three cadet branches of the ruling Tokugawa Shogunate, and thus one of the most powerful feudal lords in Japan. The building itself is the only neo-Baroque European-style palace in Japan. It is constructed of brick, around a steel frame, on three floors, two above and one below ground, and is both earthquake and fire resistant. It was built by the leading Japanese architects and craftsmen of the Meiji period (1867 – 1926), under the overall direction of Dr. Tokuma Katayama (1854 – 1917), a famous Meiji architect who was significant in State Guest House introducing Western, and particularly French architecture into Japan.

  • The National Health and Nutrition Survey in Japan: 75 Years of History Chika Okada and Hidemi Takimoto
    Review Article Jpn. J. Nutr. Diet., Vol.78 Supplement S5～S15（2020） The National Health and Nutrition Survey in Japan: 75 Years of History Chika Okada and Hidemi Takimoto Department of Nutritional Epidemiology and Shokuiku, National Institute of Health and Nutrition, National Institutes of Biomedical Innovation, Health and Nutrition doi:10.5264/eiyogakuzashi.78.S5 ABSTRACT Objectives: The National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHNS; formerly the National Nutrition Survey) has been conducted every year in Japan for the past 75 years. From its start and to the present, it has changed in order to focus on the public health issues of the time, which is the unique characteristic of this survey. Therefore, our aim is to summarize the history and origins of the national survey and describe its present situation. Methods: Previously published national reports were investigated to obtain information on the aims, survey areas, subjects, and survey items of the NHNS. Results: The National Nutrition Survey in Japan was initiated with the aim of obtaining information about food supplies due to postwar food shortages. This survey has since been conducted with the goal of improving nutritional health and to allow the NHNS to more comprehensively promote health in accordance with enacted laws. The survey was designed to provide national represen- tation through randomized selection and was initially conducted in separate parts on dietary intake and physical symptoms. At present, it is conducted in three parts that collect nutrition, physical, and lifestyle data. Consequently, the purpose and content of the NHNS have expanded over time. Throughout its 75-year history, the NHNS has continued to monitor Japanese dietary intake and health status, further contributing to various national policies on health, food systems, and nutrition.
