I am deeply indebted to her for presenting me with this phrase as a key way to understand not only OISCA (Organization for Industrial, Spiritual and Cultural Advancement) but also Japanese approaches to development aid in general. Subsequently, numer­ ous people associated with OISCA generously welcomed me into their worlds and spent valuable time answering my questions: everyone at the Tokyo office; staffers and trainees at the training centers in Chubu, Nishini­ hon, and Shikoku; members and officials at the Ananaikyō headquarters; staffers at the Gekkō Observatory in Shizuoka; staff members and students at the OISCA Technical College; and staffers and trainees at the OISCA Myanmar training center. There are too many people to thank individu­ ally here, but in Japan, Chō Hiroyuki, Kakinuma Mizuho, Kamino Yukio, Kano Masumi, Kurono Yoshikane, Nagaishi Yasuaki, Nakano Toshihiro, and Sugawara Kōsei facilitated much of my fieldwork and understanding of OISCA. At the Myanmar training center, Fuji’i Keisuke, Khin May Thi, May Zar Myint, Htay Htay Sein, Saw Myat Htwe, and Za Min Aung are due special thanks for their help and friendship. In particular, Khin May Thi’s warmth and thoughtfulness made me feel at home at the training cen­ ter, for which I am eternally grateful. I also thank the staffers and trainees at the Asian Rural Institute (ARI, or Ajia Gakuin) in Tochigi Prefecture and the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV) training center in Nagano Prefecture for hosting me during my visit. My life in Yangon over the years would not have been possible with­ out the generosity of Susan and Court Stewart, Ma Yi Yi, and Ko Aung Mo and the friendship and support of Fujino Yasuyuki and Yasuko, Ma Htet Htet, Ma Julia, the Shalom Foundation’s Ja Nan Lahtaw and staff members, Kubota Kazumi, Rhoda Linton, Sue Mark, Neichu Mayer, Pat McCormick, vii 6827_Book_V4.indd 7 12/5/18 10:11 AM viii Acknowledgments Joah McGee, Rose Metro, Min Ye Paing Hein, Ōtsuyama Mitsuko, Seng Pan Lasham, Uchiyama Fumika, Liz Webber, Matt Walton, and Mikami Yasushi. My thanks also go to staff members at Terra People Association (TPA) and especially Shibata Kyōko for showing me around TPA’s project sites, and to Seng Raw Lahpai and everyone at the Metta Development Foundation for letting me help at their offices and visit their project sites. At Cornell, Hiro Miyazaki, Annelise Riles, Marina Welker, and Saida Hodžić helped me turn the fieldwork material into the analyses that consti­ tute the basis for this book. My friends in the dissertation writing group— Gökçe Günel, Aftab Jassal, Melissa Rosario, Saiba Varma, and Courtney Work—were essential in nurturing the seeds of many of my ideas. Saiba and Gökçe, in particular, have read most of my work over time and know my project (and me) inside out. David Rojas has also been an important interlocutor and friend in developing my thoughts in the pages that follow. The “Cornell mafia” in the Southeast Asia Program (SEAP) taught me how to understand the region in historical perspective. Tom Patton and Chie Ikeya offered vital advice on conducting fieldwork in Myanmar, and I thank them for their patience in answering my questions. My research would not have been possible without the extraordinary skills of my Burmese- language teachers: San San Hnin Tun at Cornell, John Okell and Than Than Win at the Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute in Madison, and Ma Hay Mar in Tokyo. The book went through many incarnations, and Maia Green, Gökçe Günel, Jolyon Thomas, and Saiba Varma read full drafts or substantial por­ tions of it at different stages. Their insights helped me refine and focus my arguments. Audiences at the University of Oslo gave valuable observations on chapter 3, Yamaura Chigusa and audiences at the University of Sussex offered helpful feedback on chapter 4, and Gillian Evans, Lorenzo Ferra­ rini, Connie Smith, Tony Simpson, and Marina Welker constructively com­ mented on the introduction at critical times. Lissa Caldwell shepherded one of my articles for Gastronomica, which became the basis for chapter 6, and also gave extensive suggestions on my book proposal. I cannot overstate the value of receiving advice from a senior academic on the murky process of book publishing. In this sense, I am immensely grateful to Niko Besnier for also commenting on my book proposal and to Theodore Jun Yoo for introducing me to Pamela Kelley at the University of Hawai‘i Press. Many other colleagues and friends contributed to the development of this book. My thinking benefited from several conversations with R. Michael Feener, Maura Finkelstein, Philip Fountain, Kate Goldfarb, Sarah Grant, Soyeun Kim, Kimura Shuhei, Aike Rots, and Takahashi Satsuki. 6827_Book_V4.indd 8 12/5/18 10:11 AM Acknowledgments ix My colleagues at the University of Manchester have offered feedback on my work over the years, and I feel extremely fortunate to be in such a collegial and productive environment. Erica Baffelli and Aya Homei have made me feel at home in Japanese studies, beyond my “home” discipline of social anthropology. Nathan Hopson, Tomomi-san, Ran Zwigenberg, and Chikako-san were my support network when I was writing the first draft of the book at Yale, and I thank them for their friendship. I also thank my hosts, participants, and audiences of various work­ shops, conferences, and talks at the Australian National University, Durham University, the London School of Economics, Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies at Oxford University, the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), Sogang University, Stockholm University, the University of Colo­ rado at Boulder, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Hong Kong, the University of Oslo, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Sussex, the University of Texas at Austin, Western Michigan University, and Yale University. Numerous other friends and anthropologists, Japanese studies scholars, Burma studies scholars, and development studies scholars have helped me refine my ideas further: Anne Allison, Niko Besnier, Erica Bornstein, Mary Callahan, Karin Eberhardt, Harri Englund, Judy Han, Heather Hindman, Inaba Keishin, Khin Zaw Win, Koga Yukiko, Jon Mair, Emma Mawdsley, Ramah McKay, Levi McLaughlin, Jamie Monson, Mark R. Mullins, Nemoto Kei, Nozawa Shunsuke, Okuyama Michiaki, Elayne Oliphant, Lisa Onaga, Juno Parreñas, Peter Redfield, Ryan Sayre, Juliane Schober, Amanda Snellinger, Nico Sternsdorff-Cisterna, Tosa Keiko, and Nakano Tsuyoshi. I also thank the anonymous reviewers of my published articles and book chapters, whose comments assisted me in rethinking not only those pieces but many of the arguments in this book. My gratitude also goes to the two anonymous reviewers of the book, whose comments prompted me to sharpen my discussions. The research for this book was funded by the Lee Teng-hui Fellow­ ships in World Affairs and the Robert J. Smith Fellowships in Japanese Studies (both at Cornell) and by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC). The SSRC has had a long-term impact on my research, funding a dissertation fellowship and a post-fieldwork dissertation workshop (“Reli­ gion and International Affairs”) and co-funding my postdoctoral fellowship at Yale. In bringing this book to life, I thank Pamela Kelley for her expert editorial guidance and Debra Tang, Grace Wen, and Rosemary Wether­ old for their indispensable help in the process.

  • How Intercultural Experiences Created Identities of Returnees : a Comparison of Kikokushijo in the Taishou, Showa and Heisei Eras
    松山大学論集 第31巻第1号抜刷 2019年4月発行 How Intercultural Experiences Created Identities of Returnees : A Comparison of kikokushijo in the Taishou, Showa and Heisei eras Kaori Ono How Intercultural Experiences Created Identities of Returnees : A Comparison of kikokushijo in the Taishou, Showa and Heisei eras Kaori Ono 228 松山大学論集 第31巻 第1号 1．Introduction Increased mobility across countries and cultures has led to a global rise in the number of sojourning children（Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, 2016）. With this change, identity negotiation of the so-called kikokushijos warrants more attention. In Japan, most of the research on sojourning children has focused on challenges encountered by kikokushijos quite extensively （Ichikawa, 2004; Kanno, 2003; Kidder, 1992; Mcdonald, 1995/2011; Miyaji, 1985;Osawa,1986; Podalsky, 2009; Pollack & Reken, 2001/2009; Sueda2012）, in contrast, the dynamics of a successful reentry and the emotional factors these children experience when they transfer between schools with different cultural backgrounds during their developmental years has not received due attention. This study sought to fill this gap since a clearer understanding of this process will assist Japanese communities that accept kikokushijos to help their repatriation better. 2．Literature Review 2．1 Introduction To better understand the issues of kikokushijo［returnees］living in Japan, this paper will begin by first introducing empirical studies of cross-cultural values frequently referenced in the field of intercultural relations. Next, the term kikokushijo will be defined and the literature on previous studies of returnees will be examined. 2．2 Theories on the Adjustment of Individuals in Intercultural Contexts Berry’s acculturation model1）（Berry, 2005）explains the processes by which an individual either goes through cultural and psychological changes in an intercultural setting or actively resists such change.

  • 1 Reexaminating TERAUCHI Masatake's Character
    February 2019 Issue Reexaminating TERAUCHI Masatake's Character - As a “Statesman”- KANNO Naoki, Cheif, Military Archives, Center for Military History Introduction What comes to mind when you think of TERAUCHI Masatake (1852 - 1919)? For example, at the beginning of the Terauchi Cabinet (October 1616 - September 1918), it was ridiculed as being both anachronistic and a non-constitutional cabinet. Using NISHIHARA Kamezo, also known as Terauchi's private secretary, he provided funds of up to 110 million yen to the Duan Qirui government in northern China (the Nishihara Loans). The so-called Rice Riots broke out in his final year, and Siberian Intervention began. Terauchi was also called a protégé of YAMAGATA Aritomo, the leading authority on Army soldiers from former Choshu domain (Choshu-han). On the other hand, what about the succeeding Hara Cabinet (September 1918 - November 1921)? Exactly 100 years ago, HARA Takashi had already started the cabinet that consists of all political party members, except for the three Ministers of the Army, Navy, and Foreign Affairs. After the World War I, a full-on party politics was developed in Japan as global diplomatic trends drastically changed. Compared to Hara, Terauchi has not been evaluated. After Chinese-Japanese relations deteriorated following the Twenty-One Demands in 1915, the aforementioned Nishihara Loans, implemented for recovery, were over-extended to the only northern part of China, the Duan Qirui government only for a limited time. Then, ultimately, the Loans did not lead an improvement in relationships. Thus it can be said that, until recently, Terauchi's character has been almost entirely neglected by academia.

  • Language Learners' Beliefs: Development and Change A
    LANGUAGE LEARNERS’ BELIEFS: DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education By Sakae Suzuki May, 2012 Examining Committee Members Marshall Childs, Advisory Chair, TESOL/CITE David Beglar, TESOL/CITE Mark Sawyer, External Member, Kwansai Gakuin University Tim Murphey, External Member, Kanda University of International Studies Masako Sakamoto, External Member, Bunka Gakuen University © Copyright 2012 by Sakae Suzuki iii ABSTRACT This longitudinal study was designed to provide an orderly account of how beliefs about English language learning develop among seven Japanese high school students, identify beliefs that are beneficial and interfering for language learning and the routes by which these beliefs are reached, and identify belief changes and their sources. Beliefs are defined as a cognitive representation about self and the world. They are situated in experiences and social context. Learner beliefs pertain to many aspects of language learning and come from multiple sources, including educational background, experience living overseas, peers, teachers, and persons met in chance encounters. The data for the study were collected from seven students attending a Japanese public high school. Beginning when the students were first-year high school students (10th graders), the data, which were drawn from in-depth interviews, journals, written reports, observations, and school records, form a qualitative multiple-case-study. Data gathering ended when the students chose a university in the third year of high school. There were five major findings. First, learners develop and modify their beliefs based on their life experiences inside and outside the classroom.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

Takagaki In the third month of 1868, the newly formed Meiji government announced its intention to return to the ritsuryo system of government that had been in place during the Nara and Heian periods. This was a system that held to the concept of unity between church and state (saisei itchi). Thus, the Jingikan, Office of (Shinto) Deities (often translated as Office of Kami Worship), was revived in that same month as one of seven departments in the Dajokan, the administrative organ of the state, and in an attempt to “purify” the tradition, a policy of separating Buddhism from Shinto (shinbutsu bunri-rei) was adopted.1 However, in July of 1869, the Jingikan was given the highest rank of all government offices, placing it above the Dajokan, and in the following year an Imperial Rescript on the Enshrinement of the Kami was issued, asserting that, along with various Shinto gods, all the emperors of Japan were to be worshiped as kami: Now that the imperial dignity has passed to Us, small and frail of form though we be, we are afraid both night and day that there will be some want in Our performance of the Imperial duties. We thereby enshrine with the Jingikan (The Office of Kami Worship), the kami of Heaven and Earth, together with the eight kami of Kamimusubi-no-kami, Takamimusubi-no-kami, Tamatsu-memusubi-no-kami, Ikumusubi-no-kami, Taramusubi-no-kami, Omiyame-no-kami, Miketsukami and Kotoshironushi-no-kami, and along with them, the souls of all past Emperors.

  • Discourse and Practice
    Educational Studies in Japan: International Yearbook No. 12, March, 2018. pp. 35-48 Patterns of variations in the ‘internationalising education’ discourse and practice Kaori H. Okano* This paper examines variations and shifts of emphasis in the ‘internation- alising education’ discourse and practice, and attempts to identify patterns in these variations. By examining two sectors, compulsory education and univer- sities, it identifi es four main strands of discourse: (1) international (understand- ing) education (kokusai rikai kyôiku) in the form of engagement with other (of- ten Western) countries; (2) domestic internationalisation (uchinaru kokusaika); (3) human rights education (jinken kyôiku) for zainichi Koreans; and (4) global human resources and competitiveness in the global arena. Each of the four strands has been taken up to differing degrees, in varying combinations over time, in discussing internationalisation. The paper shows how each of these strands has made a ‘connection’ to one of the other strands, depending on the sector, the level of educational administration and specifi c local circumstances; and in so doing over time how they have lead to varying discourses and prac- tices. This advances our understanding of the discourse of ‘internationalisation’ in education as a historical product that is still a work in progress. Keywords: Internationalisation; education; Japan; multiculturalism The term kokusaika, translated into English as ‘internationalisation’, has been a catchall phrase widely used in the government, business, academic and public discourse in the last fi ve decades. It has often been interpreted differently in specifi c localities, sectors of the soci- ety (e.g., business, social welfare, education), and levels of public administration (e.g., na- tional, prefectural, municipal, township).

  • Fakten Und Zahlen
    Fakten und Zahlen Ländername Der japanische Landesname Nippon bzw. Nihon setzt sich aus den Bestandteilen „ni“ für Sonne oder Tag und „hon“ für Ursprung oder Wurzel zusammen. Zusammen ergibt sich das „Land der aufgehenden Sonne“, als das Japan auch bekannt ist. Der Begriff kann sowohl „nippon“ (eher formal) als auch „nihon“ (eher Alltagssprache) ausgesprochen werden. Lage und Natur Japan liegt östlich vom asiatischen Festland, etwa auf gleicher Höhe wie Nord - und Süd - Korea; weitere Nachbarn sind China, Taiwan und Russland. Die Inselkette liegt im nordöstlichen Pazifik sowie im japanischen, philippinischen und ostchinesischen Meer. Japan erstreckt sich vom 45. Breitengrad im Norden (Hokkaido) zum 20. Breitengrad im Süden (Atoll Okinotorishima). Neben über 6.800 kleinen Inseln besteht Japan aus vier Hauptinseln (von Nord nach Süd): Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku und Kyushu. Von den vier Hauptinseln ist Honshu die größte. Sie nimmt 61 Prozent der Gesamtfläche ein. Hokkaido kommt auf 21 Prozent, Kyushu auf 11 Prozent und Shikoku auf 5 Prozent der Fläche. Japan ist mit einer Fläche von 377.923 Quadratkilometern etwas größer als Deutschla nd (357.046 Quadratkilometer) und etwas kleiner als Kalifornien (423.970 Quadratkilometer). (Quellen: Statistisches Bundesamt Deutschland, 2006; Statistikamt des japanischen Innenministeriums, 2008) Japan ist gebirgig (61 Prozent), hügelig (12 Prozent) und bewaldet (66 Prozent). Stadt - und Industriegebiete sowie landwirtschaftliche Nutzflächen drängen sich auf nur einem Viertel der Gesamtfläche in den Ebenen und an den Küsten zusammen. Quelle: Geographical Survey Institute , Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Japan Coast Guard Klima Japans etwa 3.800 km lange Inselkette erstreckt sich über verschiedene Klimazonen. Während Hokkaido mit schneereichen Wintern und e her kühlen Sommern subarktisch geprägt ist, herrscht auf der südlichen Insel Okinawa subtropisches Klima.

User-Generated Content and the Future of Copyright: Part One-Investiture of Ownership Steven Hetcher* ABSTRACT While user-generated content (UGC) has been around for quite some time, the digital age has led to an explosion of new forms of UGC. Current UGC mega-sites, such as YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace, have given UGC a new level of significance, due to their ability to bring together large numbers of users to interact in new ways. The "user" in UGC generally refers to amateurs, but also includes professionals and amateurs aspiringto become professionals. "Generated"is synonymous with created, reflecting the inclusion of some minimal amount of creativity in the user's work. Finally, "content"refers to digital content, or that generated by users online.
