This road was the only road between Shonai and the inland area. It was a precipitous mountain road from Tsuruoka city to Yamagata city passing over Matsune, Juo-toge, Oami, Sainokami-toge, Tamugimata and Oguki-toge, then going through Shizu, Hondoji and Sagae. It is said to have existed already in ancient times, but it is not clear when this road was opened. The oldest theory says that this road was opened as a governmental road connecting the Dewa Kokufu government which was located in Fujishima town (now Tsuruoka city) and the county offices of the Mogami and Okitama areas. But there are many other theories as well.

It was revealed from the results that non-agglutinating A. salmonicida exist in the strains isolated in Yamagata Prefecture. While there were no strains isolated in Hokkaido which were non-agglutinating. We suspect that the reason for the existence of non-agglutinating strains in Yamagata Prefecture may depend on the temperature at which this bacterium was isolated.

An empirical analysis based on panel data from Japan’s Census of Manufactures FUKAO Kyoji (Hitotsubashi University, RIETI) IKEUCHI Kenta (NISTEP) KIM YoungGak (Senshu University) KWON Hyeog Ug (Nihon University, RIETI) Abstract Using a Melitz-style model of heterogeneous firms, Baldwin and Okubo (2006) recently presented a theoretical model in which self-sorting occurs and more productive factories choose to locate in more productive areas. The model suggests that firm-specific factors and regional factors affect each other through the endogeneity of location decisions. However, to date there have been few studies empirically testing this issue. Against this background, our aim is to examine the relationship between firms and location-specific factors in location decisions using factory-level panel data from Japan’s Census of Manufactures. We begin by estimating how much of the differences in factories’ TFP levels can be explained by both firm and location effects. The estimation results show that both effects have a significant impact on the productivity level of a factory, and that the firm effects are more important than the location effects. We also find a statistically significant negative correlation between firm effects and location effects, and investigate what causes this relationship.

Systematic dating of around 400 granitoids in the Japanese Islands have been made on the basis of total UO2, ThO2 and PbO contents of uraninite and anhydrous thorite using an electron microprobe analyzer (EPMA) at the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo. The ages range from ca. 5 Ma to 300 Ma. From the granitoid ages, the Japanese Islands were divided into many terranes. In northern Japan, granitoids with ages of approximately 110–120 Ma occur in the Kitakami Mountains, southwest Hokkaido and eastern Abukuma Mountains, and granitoids with ages of approximately 100–110 Ma occur at the western Abukuma Mountains and its northern extension. The granitoids that are around 90–100 Ma old occur sporadically in the Japanese Islands: mainly in the Asahi Mountains, the Nikko area, northern Shikoku and northern Kyushu. In central and northern Japan, the younger Cretaceous granitoids, partly Paleogene, with an age of around 65 Ma occur along the western part of the Asahi Mountains and Tsukuba–Nikkou area.

Worldly Ascetics: Managing Family, Status, and Territory in Early Modern Shugendō Abstract Definitions of Japan’s Shugendō tradition often emphasize how its adherents, known as yamabushi or shugenja, took as their primary goal the acquisition of supernatural power and enlightenment via ascetic practice in the mountains. While mountain austerities were central to the tradition, settled, spouse- keeping yamabushi organized into households constituted the majority of its members in the late medieval and early modern periods; the study of their economic, political, and social activities have been neglected. The Shugendō organization headquartered at Mt. Haguro, one of the Dewa Sanzan triad of sacred mountains within present-day Yamagata prefecture, administered yamabushi and miko priestesses based in communities throughout northern Japan. Using the Sanada Shichirōzaemon and Sanada Shikibu households, elite yamabushi families based in Tōge at the foot of Mt. Haguro, this study investigates the lives and activities of spouse-keeping shugenja within the Shugendō tradition during Japan’s early modern period (1600-1867).

  • Between Outland and Arcadia: 1780S–1880S
    CHAPTER 1 Between Outland and Arcadia: 1780s–1880s 1 Travelers’ Accounts of Tōhoku Historical documents show that discriminatory undertones and depictions of the Tōhoku region as an outland date back to the latter half of the eighteenth century. Tōhoku in the late Edo period was an outland situated beyond the framework of “Japan” and a “Japanese” identity. This view, already imposed since medieval times, was now coupled with rising concerns over foreign threats to the northern borders and discrimination against the Ainu to spread a sense of aversion among people in other parts of Japan. Let us examine how Japanese living west of Edo in the late Edo period perceived Tōhoku by looking at Furukawa Koshōken’s Tōyū zakki (Miscellaneous records of travels to the east, 1788) and Tachibana Nankei’s Tōyūki (Lyrical record of a jour- ney to the east, 1795). 1.1 The Perception of Tōhoku in Tōyū zakki Furukawa Koshōken (1726–1807) was a geographer, scholar of Dutch learn- ing, and physician from Okayama Prefecture who took every opportunity pre- sented him to travel around Japan. Prior to Tōyū zakki, he had published Saiyū zakki (Miscellaneous records of travels to the west), an account of his travels around the Sanyō region and Kyūshū. It was directly after the Great Tenmei Famine (1782–1787) that he joined a party of shogunal inspectors for five and a half months on a journey around Tōhoku and Ezochi (Hokkaidō), collecting his observations in Tōyū zakki. This volume, dedicated to Matsudaira Sadanobu (1758–1829), a senior coun- cilor of the Tokugawa shogunate, introduces the manners and customs of the people and their occupations by comparing them to those of the “Yamato race” in Edo, the Kyoto/Osaka area, and the southern part of Kyūshū.

  • Malignant Lymphomas in Yamagata Prefecture : Retrospective Investigation on Incidence
    J. Clin. Exp Hematopathol Vol. 42, No. 2, Oct 2002 Malignant Lymphomas in Yamagata Prefecture : Retrospective Investigation on Incidence and Preferential Sites, and a Re-evaluation According to Newly-Published WHO (World Health Organization) Classification Kunihiko Maeda，Mikio Matsuda，Fumiaki Yudaand Hito-aki Saitoh The incidence and preferential sites of malignant lymphomas were retrospectively investigated by reviewing archived pathological files (1985 to 1996) in 11 major hospitals in Yamagata Prefecture, a HTLV-1-nonendemic area of Japan. In addition, re-evaluation of 212 recent cases based upon the newly-published WHO classification was performed. The following results were obtained: 1)the actual number of lymphoma patients was increasing annually,2)the incidence rate of extranodal lymphomas was 61.3%,with the gastro-intestinal tract and Waldeyer’s ring being the major preferential sites,3)the incidence of extranodal lymphomas seemed to be increasing annually,whereas that of nodal lymphomas was not, 4) B-cell lymphomas were dominant (69.8%), in a percentage similar to that of a previous nationwide investigation, 5) major categories among the B-cell lymphomas were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,follicular lymphoma and extranodal B-cell lymphoma of MALT,6)the percentage of T-cell lymphomas was less than that of the nationwide investigation,7)angio-immunoblastic T-cell lymphoma was a major subtype of T-cell lymphoma,and 8)the incidence rate of Hodgkin lymphoma was 5.7% of total malign ant lymphomas. Key words epidemiology, non-HTLV-1 endemic area, B-cell, T-cell, Hodgkin lymphoma iors. It may,therefore,be somewhat difficult to INTRODUCTION establish a complete tumor registration system Malignant lymphoma is a common malig- for malignant lymphomas,and there seems to be nant tumor encountered daily by diagnostic a limitation regarding general epidemiological pathologists.
