  • The Jesuit Mission and Jihi No Kumi (Confraria De Misericórdia)
    The Jesuit Mission and Jihi no Kumi (Confraria de Misericórdia) Takashi GONOI Professor Emeritus, University of Tokyo Introduction During the 80-year period starting when the Jesuit missionary Francis Xavier and his party arrived in Kagoshima in August of 1549 and propagated their Christian teachings until the early 1630s, it is estimated that a total of 760,000 Japanese converted to Chris- tianity. Followers of Christianity were called “kirishitan” in Japanese from the Portu- guese christão. As of January 1614, when the Tokugawa shogunate enacted its prohibi- tion of the religion, kirishitan are estimated to have been 370,000. This corresponds to 2.2% of the estimated population of 17 million of the time (the number of Christians in Japan today is estimated at around 1.1 million with Roman Catholics and Protestants combined, amounting to 0.9% of total population of 127 million). In November 1614, 99 missionaries were expelled from Japan. This was about two-thirds of the total number in the country. The 45 missionaries who stayed behind in hiding engaged in religious in- struction of the remaining kirishitan. The small number of missionaries was assisted by brotherhoods and sodalities, which acted in the missionaries’ place to provide care and guidance to the various kirishitan communities in different parts of Japan. During the two and a half centuries of harsh prohibition of Christianity, the confraria (“brother- hood”, translated as “kumi” in Japanese) played a major role in maintaining the faith of the hidden kirishitan. An overview of the state of the kirishitan faith in premodern Japan will be given in terms of the process of formation of that faith, its actual condition, and the activities of the confraria.

Funaiole 27 October 2014 Word Count: 79,419 iii Abstract This thesis examines the foreign policy evolution of Japan from the time of its modernization during the mid-nineteenth century though the present. It is argued that infringements upon Japanese sovereignty and geopolitical vulnerabilities have conditioned Japanese leaders towards power seeking policy obJectives. The core variables of statehood, namely power and sovereignty, and the perception of state elites are traced over this broad time period to provide a historical foundation for framing contemporary analyses of Japanese foreign policy. To facilitate this research, a unique framework that accounts for both the foreign policy preferences of Japanese leaders and the external constraints of the international system is developed. Neoclassical realist understandings of self-help and relative power distributions form the basis of the presented analysis, while constructivism offers crucial insights into ideational factors that influence state elites.

Birgit Magdalena TREMML angestrebter akademischer Grad Doktorin der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) Wien, Juni 2012 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 092 312 Dissertationsgebiet lt. Studienblatt: Geschichte Betreuerin / Betreuer: Univ. Prof. Dr. Peer Vries Acknowledgements Over the past five years, people often told me how lucky I was for being paid to pursue my passion. Although this shows that research in the humanities is regrettably considered nothing more than a pastime by many, I am also aware that I have been in a very privileged position. My employment at the Department of Social and Economic History at the University of Vienna enabled me to carry out truly global research in Europe, Asia and America, to teach in an inspiring global history program that had a profound impact on my work, and to be introduced into the academic community. Still, the present dissertation would have been impossible without the generous support of other organizations. The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (Monbukagakusho), which financed my research as graduate student at the University of Tokyo in 2008/09, deserves special mentioning. I also received generous funding for archival research and participation in conferences from the Österreichische Gesellschaft für Wissenschaft (ÖFG), the Theodor Körner Fonds and the Newberry Library. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my advisors Univ. Prof. Dr. Peer Vries and Ao. Prof. Mag. Dr. Friedrich Edelmayer, MAS, whose encouragement, expertise and support have accompanied me over the years.

Writers such as the American zoologist Edward S. Morse, the Irish-Greek essayist Lafcadio Hearn, or the German urban planner Bruno Taut have praised its exquisite simplicity and high esteem for natural materials. It is often overlooked, however, that there also is a distinct lineage of lavishly decorated buildings that should be understood as equally representative of Japan's architec- tural heritage. Somewhat inadequately dubbed Japanese Baroque, this style emerged during the Momoyama Period (1568-1615) and is closely connected with other arts and crafts. The exuberant style is best known from the vast mausoleum complex of the first Tokugawa shogun, Ieyasu, in Nikko. Another excellent place to experience this magnificent style in architecture is the city of Sendai and the nearby bay of Matsushima. 2020 Japan-Insights © Japan-Insights Exploring Expert Experiences Spectacular Buildings Sendai’s Legacy of Architecture and Art 2|22 3|22 Oshu Sendairyo Kuniezu (utsushi), Detail of a domain map (copy), Sendai Clan, 1697, Courtesy of Sendai City Museum Objective Sendai is often bypassed by international travelers or merely used as a base camp for visiting the Tohoku region in the north of Japan's main island.

  • Hasekura Tsunenaga W Europie – Sztuka, Polityka I Propaganda We Wczesnych Stosunkach Europejsko-Japońskich
    Studia Azjatystyczne 1 (2015), str. 153-161 Maciej Tybus Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika, Toruń Hasekura Tsunenaga w Europie – sztuka, polityka i propaganda we wczesnych stosunkach europejsko-japońskich Kontakty pomiędzy Europą i Japonią stanowią ciekawy przykład kontaktów międzykulturowych. Szczególną uwagę zwraca mało zna- ny temat, jakim są wizyty Japończyków na Starym Kontynencie we wczesnej epoce nowożytnej. Wśród nich największe znaczenie miała delegacja pod wodzą Hasekury Tsunenagi, która dotarła do Meksyku i Europy w drugiej dekadzie XVII w. Spotkała się ona bowiem z nie- zwykłym zainteresowaniem europejskich władców i papiestwa. Wo- kół niej zostały zorganizowane różnego rodzaju akcje propagandowe, w których wykorzystywane były m.in. dzieła sztuki i inne wytwory kultury, którym chciałbym poświęcić niniejszy tekst. Początek XVII w. to specyficzny okres zarówno dla Japonii, jak i Europy. W Japonii po zakończeniu trwającej ponad sto lat wojny domowej (tzw. okres Sengoku) nowy szogun Ieyasu Tokugawa starał się umocnić swoją pozycję, eliminując zarówno wewnętrzne, jak i zewnętrzne zagrożenia. Jednak dopiero jego wnuk Iemitsu zdołał skupić w swoich rękach pełnię władzy. Europa z kolei podzielona by- ła w tym czasie na dwa wzajemnie zwalczające się obozy, czyli kato- lików i protestantów, wyniszczana przez wojnę trzydziestoletnią. Mimo to jednak europejska ekspansja w Azji Wschodniej cały czas nabierała tempa. Hasekura Tsunenaga w Europie... 153 Powszechnie za symboliczną datę nawiązania pierwszego kontak- tu pomiędzy Europą i Japonią uważa się rok 1543, kiedy grupa por- tugalskich rozbitków dotarła do wybrzeży wyspy Tanegashima i trafi- ła przed oblicze lokalnego feudała. W kolejnych latach europejskie mocarstwa chętnie wysyłały do Japonii swoich przedstawicieli, za- równo kupców, jak i misjonarzy. Europejczycy zmuszeni byli jednak do szybkiego wypracowania nowych metod prowadzenia polityki, bowiem argument siły już nie wystarczał, by skłonić drugą stronę do współpracy.

  • Hasekura League
    Hasekura League: A New International Japanese Studies Network We are exceedingly delighted that we can propose the formation of a new international Japanese studies network, the Hasekura League, here in Florence, the flower of humanities. It is very well known that the Platonic Academy of Marsilio Ficino was founded during the High Renaissance in the fifteenth century in this city. Florence is the birthplace of humanism, which encouraged humanity to see itself as the measure of all things, and helped to inspire the later Copernican Revolution from the world of God to the world of men. We feel also quite honoured that the University of Florence and Tohoku University have joined hands to hold an international symposium on Japanese Studies as an opening event. We think it is truly suitable for our league at its inception to have an exciting academic meeting in this home of Renaissance humanism in order to generate a new kind of interdisciplinary humanism, thus making the conversation between tradition and the future happen. In the late-twentieth century, when the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union ended, we felt as if a bright light had broken through the clouds—and yet, the confusion of the world actually deepened thereafter. In order to overcome this crisis of civilisation, we must keep our sincere respect for the diverse cultures of the world as well as our empathy towards other people. The urgent issue of ‘reclaiming our humanity’ is not only the task of politics, economics, or scientific technology. It is above all a mission for Japanese Studies.

  • Nanban Art and Its Globality: a Case Study of the New Spanish Mural the Great Martyrdom of Japan in 1597*
    21-56 Nanban Art and its Globality Rie Arimura Nanban Art and its Globality: A Case Study of the New Spanish Mural The Great Martyrdom of Japan in 1597* Rie Arimura** DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15446/hys.n36.73460 Abstract | Traditionally, nanban art has been seen as a simple product of exchanges between Japan, Portugal and Spain. The historiography tends to solely focus on artistic contributions of the Society of Jesus due to the foundation of a painting school in Japan. Thereby, the relevance of the Indo-Portuguese route in the cross-cultural history has been emphasized. However, the research advances of the last decades identify that nanban works consist of artistic inheritances from diverse regions of the world which were connected through the Portuguese and Spanish transoceanic routes. Similarly, Japanese nanban art influenced the artistic productions on the other side of the world. In summary, nanban art cannot be understood without taking into account its global implications. This paper clarifies the changes in epistemological understanding of nanban art, and its redefinitions through a historiographical review. This work also shows the important role of Spanish America in the artistic exchange mechanisms; these interactions occurred reciprocally. Therefore, the New World was one of the regions where Japanese art significantly influenced local productions. To exemplify this phenomenon, we address the influence of nanban art on the mural painting The great martyrdom of Japan in 1597 in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. Keywords | (Thesaurus) arts; art history; Asian art; Latin American art. (Author) nanban art; kirishitan art; Spanish American colonial art. Arte namban y su globalidad: un caso del mural novohispano El gran martirio de Japón en 1597 Resumen | Tradicionalmente, el arte namban ha sido visto como un simple producto de intercambios entre Japón, Portugal y España.
