Maxson iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Hillary J. Maxson Doctor of Philosophy Department of History March 2018 Title: Kakeibo Monogatari: Women’s Consumerism and the Postwar Japanese Kitchen, 1945-1964 This dissertation explores the history of Japanese home cooking during the formative postwar period—focusing on the women who were responsible for its development. My research demonstrates that as the primary consumers who typically controlled the finances in their homes, and as the primary cooks, women shaped and directed many of the dietary and technological changes that took place in the postwar Japanese kitchen. Chapter II argues that self-proclaimed housewife Nakamura Kimiko’s pragmatic approach to household economy, demonstrated through her devotion to kakeibo (personal household account book) keeping, equipped her with the tools she needed to become a political leader in her community, as she became a central figure in Seikyō Co-Op’s kakeibo movement and their campaigns for food safety throughout the 1970s. Kimiko’s political participation was part of a broader pattern of women’s civic engagement in postwar Japan: her politics were tied specifically to her role as a consumer. Chapter III examines the transformation in common nutrition knowledge that played out in the pages of women’s kakeibo—both in the published and nationally circulated copies of kakeibo, and in the ways that women like Kimiko used kakeibo. Chapter IV takes up the “bright iv life” years (1955-1962) from the perspective of consumers. It attributes value to household appliances, specifically kitchen appliances, based on how they affected women’s domestic labor. Chapter V argues that women were integral to postwar changes in Japanese cuisine. Women bore the burden of bringing new ingredients and dishes to everyday life in the postwar home, and their consumption, labor, and cooking were integral to culinary change. Current scholarship on postwar Japanese cuisine focuses on empire, politics, and macroeconomics as the impetuses of change, effectively placing the efforts of women at the periphery of historical narratives. My research contributes to current scholarship by demonstrating that the mental and physical labor many women carried out on a daily basis played an equally important role in transforming food in everyday life in postwar Japan. v CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Hillary J.

I am grateful to my advisor, Jeffrey E. Hanes, who guided me throughout my graduate career and supported this project from its inception, offering extensive advice and feedback along the way. Andrew E. Goble taught a number of seminars that helped me broaden my topical and thematic expertise. Julie Hessler encouraged me to engage with food history and helped me think comparatively about the topic. Alisa Freedman alerted me to trends in the field that proved helpful. Barbara Sato taught me the ropes of conducting research in Japan and gave great advice on working with women’s magazines. April Haynes pushed me to think critically about women’s and gender history. Yoshimi Shunya served as my advisor at the University of Tokyo and offered helpful advice along the way. Many thanks to my friends and colleagues from the University of Oregon, including Carrie Adkins, Josh Fitzgerald, Tristan Grunow, Bree Goosmann, Emily Cole, Alison Dodd, Jessica Gibson, Haley Williamson, Lucas Erickson, Lucas Burke, Molly Ingram, Rebecca Hastings, and Nichelle Frank. Words cannot express my gratitude to Nakamura Kimiko for sharing her kakeibo and her life with the world. Kimiko’s story made this project more meaningful than I ever imagined. I also want to thank Yamazaki Yūko at the National Women’s Education Center for facilitating my meeting with Nakamura Kimiko. I greatly appreciate Hara Tomiko, Samejima Kimie, and Yamada Kazuhiro for taking the time to meet with me as well. This project was supported by grants and fellowships from a number of academic viii entities at the University of Oregon, including the Center for Asian and Pacific Studies, the Center for the Study of Women in Society, the Oregon Humanities Center, and the Department of History. I am grateful to the archivists and support staff at the Ishikawa Takeyoshi Memorial Library for all of their help. On a more personal level, I would like to thank my good friends Heather MacDavid, Leslie Tassoni, Julie Stocks, and Dez Dayton for their support. My friend, Yoshioka Kaori, showed me how to shop for ingredients at a Japanese grocery store and taught me how to cook a few wonderful home-cooked meals. My family has always believed in me, and I am grateful to them for that. Finally, special thanks are due to my partner, Kobayashi Yūhei, for all of his love and support, and to my best furry friend, Midori. ix This dissertation is dedicated to my parents, who never told me the odds. x TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

  • Nutrients and Bioactive Potentials of Edible Green and Red Seaweed in Korea K
    Sanjeewa et al. Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (2018) 21:19 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41240-018-0095-y REVIEW Open Access Nutrients and bioactive potentials of edible green and red seaweed in Korea K. K. Asanka Sanjeewa, WonWoo Lee and You-Jin Jeon* Abstract Background: Traditionally, East-Asians (Korea, Japan, and China) utilize seaweeds as a food source and ingredient in traditional medicine. Korea is one of the biggest seaweed producer and consumer in the global trade. Especially, side dishes made from seaweeds are very popular in the traditional Korean cuisines. Seaweeds are popular as fresh vegetable salads and soup or eaten as snacks. Main body: Seaweeds are rich in essential nutrients, minerals, and vitamins as well as a promising source of novel bioactive compounds. The compounds (polysaccharides, polyphenols, and sterols) present in the edible Korean seaweeds possess important bioactive properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammation, anticancer, anti-diabetic, and anticoagulant properties. Thus, the long-term consumption of seaweed has a potential to reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, obesity, and inflammation-related complications. However, seaweed consumption is limited to the small population around the globe. Thus, it is important to increase the awareness of the health benefits of seaweeds consumption among the general population. Short conclusion: In the present study, we discussed some popular green and red edible Korean seaweeds and their health-promoting properties. This study might be useful to increase the public awareness of the consumption of seaweed as a food source. Keywords: Edible seaweed, Bioactive, Functional foods Background public awareness, demand for seaweeds and their commer- Seaweeds have been used as human food since ancient times.
