Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures by Caleb Swift Carter 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Producing Place, Tradition and the Gods: Mt. Togakushi, Thirteenth through Mid-Nineteenth Centuries by Caleb Swift Carter Doctor of Philosophy in Asian Languages and Cultures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor William M. Bodiford, Chair This dissertation considers two intersecting aspects of premodern Japanese religions: the development of mountain-based religious systems and the formation of numinous sites. The first aspect focuses in particular on the historical emergence of a mountain religious school in Japan known as Shugendō. While previous scholarship often categorizes Shugendō as a form of folk religion, this designation tends to situate the school in overly broad terms that neglect its historical and regional stages of formation. In contrast, this project examines Shugendō through the investigation of a single site. Through a close reading of textual, epigraphical, and visual sources from Mt. Togakushi (in present-day Nagano Ken), I trace the development of Shugendō and other religious trends from roughly the thirteenth through mid-nineteenth centuries. This study further differs from previous research insofar as it analyzes Shugendō as a concrete system of practices, doctrines, members, institutions, and identities.

  • The Myth of the Goddess of the Undersea World and the Tale of Empress Jingu’S Subjugation of Silla
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1993 20/2-3 The Myth of the Goddess of the Undersea World and the Tale of Empress Jingu’s Subjugation of Silla Akima Toshio In prewar Japan, the mythical tale of Empress Jingii’s 神功皇后 conquest of the Korean kingdoms comprised an important part of elementary school history education, and was utilized to justify Japan5s coloniza­ tion of Korea. After the war the same story came to be interpreted by some Japanese historians—most prominently Egami Namio— as proof or the exact opposite, namely, as evidence of a conquest of Japan by a people of nomadic origin who came from Korea. This theory, known as the horse-rider theory, has found more than a few enthusiastic sup­ porters amone Korean historians and the Japanese reading public, as well as some Western scholars. There are also several Japanese spe­ cialists in Japanese history and Japan-Korea relations who have been influenced by the theory, although most have not accepted the idea (Egami himself started as a specialist in the history of northeast Asia).1 * The first draft of this essay was written during my fellowship with the International Research Center for Japanese Studies, and was read in a seminar organized by the institu­ tion on 31 January 199丄. 1 am indebted to all researchers at the center who participated in the seminar for their many valuable suggestions. I would also like to express my gratitude to Umehara Takeshi, the director general of the center, and Nakanism Susumu, also of the center, who made my research there possible.

  • Religious Practices in the Consumer Society
    CHAPTER V: RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN THE CONSUMER SOCIETY To approach the current visitors and consumers, mementos of the Tateyama cult have been used in producing goods such as printed shirts with motifs from the Tateyama Mandala and table cloths with the same patterns, while legends about the opening of Tateyama introducing the story of Ariyori, Ariwaka and Uba were published in the form of a comic book (Figure 30). These products are sold in hotels and transportation stops such as stations of the cable car – reminders of the past pilgrimage path. The use of these commodities as souvenirs is an example of how aspects of a once popular religious cult became reshaped. Although commodities such as talismans, amulets or medicaments were part of the Tateyama cult already in the Edo period, the current form of making available commodities linked to the Tateyama cult is different. They are no longer associated with any protection or benefits. They have been reshaped in accordance with the current trends of con- sumerism and as such they serve as useful tools in regional promotion. As was mentioned above, the commercial aspects of pilgrimages were identi- fied by authors already in the 19th century. Studies have also demonstrated that actors from the Japanese pilgrimage sites were involved in promotional and mer- cantile activities. In the same fashion as pilgrims in the Edo period, the present pilgrims to mountain sites are charged for their participation in religious prac- tices. The expenses for taking part at the Cloth Bridge rite, for example, were 20,000 yen and price of the retreat in the village of Tōge was up to 27,000 yen.1 In their book Religion in the consumer society, Gauthier and Martikainen (2013a) illustrate the presence of consumption in religion and also explain the nature 1 The given information about prices is as of the year 2014.

  • Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Patients with Vestibular Schwannoma
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Sudden sensorineural hearing loss in patients with vestibular schwannoma Koichiro Wasano1,2*, Naoki Oishi3*, Masaru Noguchi4, Ko Hentona2, Seiichi Shinden5, Tsubasa Kitama5, Nobuyoshi Tsuzuki3,6, Taiji Kawasaki7, Yoshihiko Hiraga7, Yasuhiko Takei8 & Kaoru Ogawa3 Clinical features of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) associated with vestibular schwannoma (VS) are not fully understood. Determining a treatment plan and explaining it to patients requires clinicians to clearly understand the clinical features related to the tumor, including SSNHL. To identify the full range of clinical features of VS-associated SSNHL, especially recovery of hearing following multiple episodes of SSNHL and what factors predict recovery and recurrence. A multicenter retrospective chart review was conducted in seven tertiary care hospitals between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2020. We collected and analyzed dose of administered steroid, pure-tone audiometry results, and brain MRIs of patients diagnosed with VS-associated SSNHL. Seventy-seven patients were included. They experienced 109 episodes of audiogram-confrmed SSNHL. The highest proportion of complete recoveries occurred in patients with U-shaped audiograms. The recovery rates for the frst, second, and third and subsequent episodes of SSNHL were 53.5%, 28.0%, and 9.1%, respectively. Recovery rate decreased signifcantly with increasing number of SSNHL episodes (P =0 .0011; Cochran- Armitage test). After the frst episode of SSNHL, the recurrence-free rate was 69.9% over 1 year and 57.7% over 2 years; the median recurrence time was 32 months. Logarithmic approximation revealed that there is a 25% probability that SSNHL would recur within a year. SSNHL in patients with VS is likely to recur within one year in 25% of cases.

  • Relation Between the Tokyo Olympics and Real Estate Industry
    Relation Between the Tokyo Olympics and Real Estate Industry Report 2015 On the Occasion of Publication Hiromasa Nakamura Director General All Japan Real Estate Association, Tokyo Head Office Real Estate Guarantee Association, Tokyo Head Office In September 2013, Tokyo was selected as the host city for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games (hereinafter referred to as the Olympics) at the meeting of the International Olympic Committee. It is still fresh in our memories that not only the citizens of Tokyo but also people throughout Japan were thrilled with joy. The All Japan Real Estate Association, Tokyo head office, has been making survey studies related to condominium policy, regional disaster prevention, and city planning, as well as proposals based on such studies through the research institute it established, Zennichi Tokyo Academy, headed by Professor Yasushi Aoyama of Meiji University Graduate School and the former vice governor of the Tokyo metropolitan government. The Zennichi Tokyo Academy has been studying the topic of the relation between the Tokyo Olympics and the real estate industry over two years since the decision came that the Olympics will be held in Tokyo. While it is expected that there will be even more real estate transactions by foreigners ahead of the Olympics, on the other hand, we are seeing more and more vacant dwellings due to the declining birthrate and depopulation and this is becoming a social problem. At the Zennichi Tokyo Academy, discussions have been advanced under the recognition that in addition to making Tokyo a city that will prosper in terms of business, it is important to maintain and expand Tokyo as a city that is safe, secure, and easy to live in even as it internationalizes.

  • Deep Two-Way Matrix Reordering for Relational Data Analysis
    Deep Two-Way Matrix Reordering for Relational Data Analysis Chihiro Watanabe∗1 and Taiji Suzuki†1,2 1Graduate School of Information Science Technology, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan 2Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP), RIKEN, Tokyo, Japan Abstract Matrix reordering is a task to permute the rows and columns of a given observed matrix such that the resulting reordered matrix shows meaningful or interpretable structural patterns. Most existing matrix reordering techniques share the common processes of extracting some feature representations from an observed matrix in a predefined manner, and applying matrix reordering based on it. However, in some practical cases, we do not always have prior knowledge about the structural pattern of an observed matrix. To address this problem, we propose a new matrix reordering method, called deep two-way matrix reordering (DeepTMR), using a neural network model. The trained network can automatically extract nonlinear row/column features from an observed matrix, which can then be used for matrix reordering. Moreover, the proposed DeepTMR provides the denoised mean matrix of a given observed matrix as an output of the trained network. This denoised mean matrix can be used to visualize the global structure of the reordered observed matrix. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DeepTMR by applying it to both synthetic and practical datasets. Keywords: matrix reordering, relational data analysis, neural network, visualization 1 Introduction Matrix reordering or seriation is a task to permute the rows and columns of a given observed ma- trix such that the resulting matrix shows meaningful or interpretable structural patterns [4, 22]. Such reordering-based matrix visualization techniques provide an overview of the various practical data ma- trices, including gene expression data [8, 12], document-term relationship data [5], and archaeological data [18] (e.g., the relationships between tombs and objects in Egypt [26]).
