Each chapter is devoted to an individual novel and explores its hero's feelings of socio-psychological estrangement on personal and interpersonal levels as well as the role of the train journey which serves to arouse, create or alleviate such feelings. Chapter One deals with Sanshiro (Sanshiro. 1908) by Natsume Soseki and follows the hero on his long train journey from backward Kyushu to progressive Tokyo. -
Approach for International Exchange of River Restoration Technology
Approach for International Exchange of River Restoration Technology Ito, Kazumasa Head of planning office, Research Center for Sustainable Communities, CTI Engineering Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan Senior Councilor, Technical Coordination and Cooperation Division, Foundation for River Improvement and Restoration Tokyo, Japan Lecturer Musashi Institute of Technology Dept. of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering, Tokyo, Japan Abstract : About 50% of the population and 75% of the properties concentrate on the flood plain in Japan. The rivers have intimate relationship with our lives. Those conditions have been seen after modern river improvement projects that began about a century ago. The technology which was introduced from foreign countries was improved in conformity with geographical features and the climate condition of our nation, and has redeveloped as a Japanese original technology. In 1940's, Japan had serious natural disasters that were caused by large- scale typhoons. Those typhoons wiped out everything completely. Even though the government realized the importance of flood control and management after those natural disasters, civil work still aimed to economic development. Those construction works have become the one of factors for concentrating population and degrading natural environment in urban areas. Deterioration of river environment has become serious issue in urban development and main cause of pollution. The approaches for environmental restorations which were started about 30 years ago aimed to harmonize with nature environment and cities and human lives. There have been going on many projects called “river environmental improvement projects”, the “nature friendly river works” and “natural restoration projects.” The society has tried to find a way to live in harmony with nature. -
The History, Tradition, and Culture of Kyoto Prefecture
The History, Tradition, and Culture of Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto Prefectural Education Center Preface The world has become a smaller place due to the development of high-speed machines and information technology. Nowadays the ability to show the world our identity as Japanese people including our culture and tradition, especially the ability to communicate with the rest of the world, is needed more than ever. Throughout history, Kyoto has been at the center of Japanese culture and history. Kyoto is therefore a good starting point for communicating with the world about Japanese culture and history. In this textbook, the history, tradition, and culture of each region in Kyoto Prefecture are introduced in English so that you, as high school students, can be proud to tell people from abroad about your hometown and Kyoto in English. The contents of chapter Ⅰto Ⅲ in this textbook are based on a Japanese textbook which was written for new teachers working in Kyoto Prefecture. Some parts have been erased and changed, and in other parts, new information was added so that high school students can understand better. You might find some difficult words in the textbook, however, the sentence structures are rather simple and readers with a basic knowledge of grammar can read on with a dictionary at hand. Furthermore, as the Japanese explanations are available on the right page, you can utilize them as a reference if the English is too difficult to understand. Besides, this textbook would be useful not only for students but also for people from abroad who don't know much about Kyoto Prefecture. -

[Jpn. J. Parasitol., Vol. 39, No. 4, 384-396, August, 1990] Trematodes of a New Genus, Neoplagioporus gen. n. (Digenea: Opecoelidae: Plagioporinae), and an Unidentified Opecoelid from Freshwater Fishes of Japan Takeshi SHIMAZU (Accepted for publication; July 2, 1990) Abstract A new genus, Neoplagioporus gen. n., is proposed in the subfamily Plagioporinae Manter, 1947 (Opecoelidae). It is morphologically characterized chiefly by the distinctly bipartite, short and straight seminal vesicle, the sinistrally submedian genital pore, the usually trilobate or rarely smooth to bilobate ovary, and the vitelline follicles usually entering the forebody or rarely being confined to the hindbody.

Two Development Scenarios for Kameoka Flood Plain, Japan: Requirements for a Paradigm Shift to Green Infrastructure
Two Development Scenarios for Kameoka Flood Plain, Japan: Requirements for a Paradigm Shift to Green Infrastructure Yukihiro Morimoto Abstract The local government of Kyoto Prefecture in Japan is currently planning to develop a large sports stadium in Kameoka floodplain. The floodplain is habitat to a nationally registered fish species, the Japanese kissing loach (Leptobotiacurta). However, the controversy between conservation and development is not simple because the habitat of the species is a river controlled to irrigate rice paddies. Local farmers, who are willing to develop the stadium, have been taking part in conservation activities by damming the river water to facilitate an egg-laying site for the fish. Therefore, a viable plan must preserve the habitat and be a comprehensive solution that supports the agricultural environment. Furthermore, the stadium project marks a watershed of two development scenarios of the Kameoka basin: (1) Gray Infrastructure, which is the conventional construction design used to deal with the risk of flooding and (2) Green Infrastructure, which is flexible, nature-oriented land use and design. The rare species still inhabits Kameoka basin because the basin is prone to flooding because of the narrow bottleneck, the Hozu valley, which has been providing impressive beautiful scenery and boating downstream to the nationally registered scenic beauty of Arashiyama in Kyoto. Keywords: development scenario, green infrastructure, flood plain, nature conservation, endangered species, biodiversity I. Introduction The controversy surrounding the planned The local government of Kyoto Prefecture development is not simply a matter of conservation (2012, 2013) is planning to develop a large sports versus development for two reasons.
