It is one of eight oban-sized woodblock prints in the series “A Journey to the Waterfalls in All the Provinces” (Shokoku Taki Meguri) and was originally published by the Edo publisher, Eijudo, in around 1832. This print is titled “Roben Waterfall at Oyama in Sagami Province” (Soshu Oyama Roben no taki) and features pilgrims taking a ritual bath at the Roben Waterfall on Oyama Mountain (Kanagawa Prefecture), before visiting a nearby shrine. In this series, Hokusai tackled the technical problem of how to represent falling water, treating it in a different way in each of the eight prints. welcome to acss/acsee 2015 Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the Sixth Annual Asian Conference on the Social Sciences, and the Fifth Annual Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy and the Environment, which for the first time is in the wonderful city of Kobe. This IAFOR event is an interdisciplinary international conference that invites academics, practitioners, scholars and researchers from around the world to meet and exchange ideas. What I have particularly appreciated at the previous conferences is the shared development of intellectual ideas and the challenges to dominant paradigms that occurred through the academic exchanges of the conferences. I have every confidence that this year’s event will extend and develop the debates still further.

This could be a positive legacy, but can the Olympics serve as a catalyst for Japan to reinvent itself? Probably not, due to the patriarchal elite’s ethnonationalism and aversion to diversity and inclusion. These days one of the main rationales for hosting the Olympics is branding. While the 1964 Summer Olympics signaled Japan’s return to the comity of nations and promoted its high- tech prowess and recovery from war, the 2020 Zaha Hadid’s Olympic Stadium Design branding has proven more complicated and way more expensive. The government views hosting as a chance to showcase the nation’s many strengths, including its design prowess, superb infrastructure, social capital, and wants The new design for the national stadium by the to parry the pessimism of those who have Japanese architect Kuma Kengo has a less written off the economy and the nation’s conspicuous profile and incorporates wood, prospects.

  • Japan's Declining Population and Demographic Challenges
    JAPAN’S DECLINING POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES Rajaram Panda Introduction Japan is sitting on a demographic time bomb. As an inevitable consequence of modernisation fuelled by rapid economic growth during the post-War years, Japan has emerged as one the first few countries in Asia to face a new challenge of a declining population. This unprecedented population challenge threatens the nation fabric with serious social, economic and political consequences whose impact is going to be felt for many future generations. There have been several studies around the world on the issue of declining fertility of Japanese women, the real reason behind the declining trend in the nation’s population. Not only it is not at the replacement level, even the existing rate continues to show declining trend. This is the real worry and at the core of this challenge. The past and the present governments have taken several measures to correct this worrying trend but since birth or the issue of having or not having a child is an individual choice, no government measures howsoever attractive by offering incentives have been of any help to address this issue. Yet, new measures are being adopted with the hope to address the issue.

    ace2013 acset2013 welcome to Letter of Welcome from Professor Sue Jackson on behalf of the ACE2013 Conference Chairs Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the Fifth Asian Conference on Education, which I am delighted to co-Chair with Professor Michiko Na- kano and Professor Barbara Lockee. I had the pleasure of being at the inaugural conference of ACE in 2009 and at most of its subsequent conferences, as well as at the Inaugural European Conference on Education this summer. I am very much looking forward to being in Osaka this October and to meeting as many of the 500 conference dele- gates as possible. The aim of the Asian Conferences on Education is to encourage academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum that encourages respectful dialogue. What I particularly appreciate at these confer- ences is the shared development of intellectual ideas and the challenges to dominant paradigms that occur through the academic exchanges of the conferences. I have every confidence that this year’s conference will extend and develop this work still further and I know that the keynote and featured speakers will bring much to these debates and discussions. The conference theme of Learning and Teaching in Changing Times is a challenging one across educational contexts and is no doubt in part the reason that this conference has attracted so many delegates from across the globe. As education sys- tems becoming increasingly socially, ethnically and culturally diverse, both as a consequence of globalization and in response to internationalization, the challenges of engaging with and working through change become ever more important.
