This project would not have been possible without their support. My deepest gratitude goes to the three members of my dissertation committee who pushed me to become a better scholar and writer. Fatimah Tobing Rony encouraged my work on Ainu representation at an early stage, and taught me not to fear interdisciplinary research as I dove headfirst into anthropological readings. I must thank Roberta Wue for being one of my strongest allies and toughest critics, and for constantly fielding all of my crazy ideas. She not only aided me in navigating academia, but modeled the kind of scholar I one day hope to be. I am sincerely going to miss knocking on her door. My most heartfelt thanks go to Bert Winther-Tamaki for being such a stalwart advisor. He never discouraged me from hurdling down new paths, and was always there to guide me through major obstacles. Despite all of my worries, he never once doubted my ability to make it through. I am so fortunate to have such an awesome mentor—and friend—as I move on from my time at UC Irvine. I must also thank other professors at UC Irvine who gave me solid advice through the years, including Cécile Whiting, Kyung Hyun Kim, Anne Walthall, and Catherine Liu. Matthew Mizenko at Ursinus College deserves special recognition for not only introducing me to Japanese as a first-year undergraduate, but for encouraging me to apply to graduate school and then for following my progress through the years. I would have ended up on a very different path without his mentorship and support over the last twelve years. My research in Japan could not have been completed without the funding from the Pacific Rim Research Program at the University of California that allowed me to spend a year working with the foremost scholars of Ainu and indigenous studies at Hokkaido University in Sapporo. I will forever be in the debt of my Japanese advisors Sasaki Toshikazu and Tanimoto Akihisa for their patience and guidance, and for allowing me to be a part of the amazing community at Hokudai. I am also deeply indebted to Satō Mari, Abe Tetsuya, and the rest of the Japanese History Department for not only providing sustained feedback on my scholarship, but for helping me drag luggage across Sapporo on multiple occasions. I must also thank Faustine Juliette Favre whose friendship, encouragement, and occasional English conversation helped me through many long winter days in Japan. In the United States, I learned a great deal from research conducted at the Smithsonian Institution Libraries as a Baird Society Resident Scholar, and I appreciate the assistance of those working in the Special Collections Department at the Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Library of Natural History and the Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology, including Lilla Vekerdy, Kristen van der Veen, Leslie K. Overstreet and Daria Wingreen-Mason. I am also grateful for the assistance of Christine Wirth at the Longfellow House and the staff at the Special Collections Research Center at the University of Chicago for their continued patience during my archival research. The Chancellor’s Club Fund for Excellence vi Fellowship at the University of California, Irvine provided me with precious time to write, and I also appreciate additional financial support from the School of Humanities, the Humanities Collective, the Center for Asian Studies, and the International Center for Writing and Translation over the years. Several institutions must be thanked for the permission to include images in this dissertation. In Chapter One, permission to reproduce the photograph of Baron Raimund von Stillfried’s “Five Ainu” was granted by the Tom Burnett Collection, and permission to include two reproductions from Hirasawa Byōzan’s Ezo-shima kikan was granted by the British Museum. In Chapter Two, permission to include three photographs by Jessie Tarbox Beals was granted by the Missouri History Museum. All other included images exist in the public domain, are licensed through Creative Commons, or are reproduced under fair use. Viewing these images enlivens my analysis, and I am ever grateful for being allowed to share these works with prospective readers. I thank my family—William, Patricia, and Stephanie Spiker—for all of their love and support from afar, and for teaching me the value of hard work. Although the distance between us was great, it could never break the bond that we share. California would have been a much lonelier place without the company of Patrick Boyle, Samantha Close, Vuslat Demirkoparan, Ilknur Demirkoparan, Shahriar Fouladi, Kristen Galvin, Rosco Galvin, Nox Gonzales, Racquel Gonzales, Ryan Gurney, Virginia Hull, Laura Beltz Imaoka, Deanna Kashani, Noritaka Minami, Ashley O’Connor, Ellen Reece, Erik Watschke, and the rest of the students in the Visual Studies Ph.D.

  • Russo-Japanese Relations: Opportunity for a Rapprochement?
    Russo-Japanese Relations: Opportunity for a Rapprochement? PEGGY FALKENHEIM MEYER ince the end of the cold war, only limited progress has been made in Russo- SJapanese relations. Ties between Russia and Japan have been strained by strong, historically rooted mistrust and by failure to resolve their territorial dis- pute over three islands and a small archipelago near Hokkaido. The disappoint- ingly low level of economic ties between the two countries has not provided a strong incentive for better relations. Recently, however, there have been signs of progress between Russia and Japan. In a speech in late July 1997, Japan’s prime minister, Ryutaro Hashimo- to, adopted a significantly new approach to Russia. The early November 1997 summit between Hashimoto and Russian President Boris Yeltsin at Krasnoyarsk confirmed their intention to bring about a radical improvement in Russo-Japan- ese relations. In this article, I explore the obstacles that impeded an improvement in Russo- Japanese relations after the end of the cold war. I then analyze the recent incen- tives for change and evaluate how far-reaching that change is likely to be. I argue that incremental improvement is taking place in Russo-Japanese relations and that there now is a possibility of greater change. However, there still are a number of serious obstacles to a full rapprochement. Mistrust Strong, historically rooted, mutual mistrust is one reason for the lack of progress in post–cold war Russo-Japanese relations, which have been embittered by a his- tory of conflict going back to tsarist times. Russians resent Japan’s encroachment on what they consider their rightful spheres of influence in Manchuria and Korea; Japan’s victory in the 1904–05 Russo-Japanese war; its seizure of territory as a fruit of victory; and its military intervention in Siberia after the Bolshevik revo- Peggy Falkenheim Meyer is an associate professor of political science at Simon Fraser Uni- versity in Burnaby, a suburb of Vancouver.

  • Ainu Imaginary, Ethnicity and Assimilation
    The Fight for Self-Representation: Ainu Imaginary, Ethnicity and Assimilation Marcos P. Centeno Martín Abstract: Film representation of the Ainu people is as old as cinema but it has not remained stable over time. From the origins of cinema, Ainu people were an object of interest for Japanese and foreign explorers who portrayed them as an Other, savage and isolated from the modern world. The notion of “otherness” was slightly modified during wartime, as the Ainu were represented as Japanese subjects within the “imperial family”, and at the end of the fifties when entertainment cinema presented the Ainu according to the codes of the Hollywood Western on the one hand; and Mikio Naruse proposed a new portrayal focusing on the Ainu as a long-discriminated social collective rather than as an ethnic group, on the other. However, Tadayoshi Himeda’s series of seven documentaries following the Ainu leader Shigeru Kayano’s activities marked a significant shift in Ainu iconography. Himeda challenged both the postwar institutional discourse on the inexistence of minorities in Japan, and the touristic and ahistorical image that concealed the Ainu’s cultural assimilation to Japanese culture. The proposed films do not try to show an exotic people but a conventional people struggling to recover their collective past. Shifts in Ainu Film Representations The relationship between film and the Ainu people is as old as cinema. They are featured in The Ainu in Yeso (Les Aïnous à Yéso, 1897), which are two of the first thirty-three cinematographic sequences shot in Japan as part of the actualités filmed by the French operator François-Constant Girel for a Lumière brothers catalogue.

The ␦18O values of phenocrysts, in combination with numerical crystallization modeling (MELTS) and experimental fractionation factors, are used to derive best estimates of primary values for ␦18O(magma). Magmatic ␦18O values span 3.5‰ and are correlated with whole-rock Sr-Nd-Pb isotopes and major elements. Our data show that Kamchatka is a region of isotopic diversity with high-␦18O basaltic magmas (sampling mantle to lower crustal high-␦18O sources), and low-␦18O silicic volcanism (sampling low-␦18O upper crust). Among one hundred Holocene and Late Pleistocene eruptive units from 23 volcanic centers, one half represents low-␦18O magmas (ϩ4 to 5‰). Most low-␦ 18O magmas are voluminous silicic ignimbrites related to large Ͼ10 km3 caldera-forming eruptions and subsequent intracaldera lavas and domes: Holocene multi-caldera Ksudach volcano, Karymsky and Kurile Lake-Iliinsky calderas, and Late Pleistocene Maly Semyachik, Akademy Nauk, and Uzon calderas.

  • Colonization, Statemaking, and Development: a Political Ecology of the Saru River Development Project, Hokkaido, Japan
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael J. Ioannides for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on December 7, 2017. Title: Colonization, Statemaking, and Development: A Political Ecology of the Saru River Development Project, Hokkaido, Japan. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Bryan D. Tilt Although dam construction has been an integral tool in development initiatives for nearly a century, dams can have significant negative impacts on local residents, particularly those who are permanently displaced from their homes and must be resettled elsewhere. Dams have unique impacts on indigenous peoples. As a result, many dam construction projects become flashpoints for organized resistance among indigenous peoples. This thesis examines a case that exemplifies indigenous resistance to dam construction: the Saru River Development Project in Hokkaido, Japan, involving the Nibutani Dam (completed 1997) and the Biratori Dam (under construction). This project has been famously opposed by indigenous Ainu landholders. Although much has been written about the legal and political significance of the Ainu’s resistance to the Saru River Development Project, information on the project’s impacts on local Ainu residents is scattered across many disparate sources, and no comprehensive English-language account has yet been produced. This thesis seeks to fill this gap in the literature by cataloging the impacts of the Saru River Development Project as comprehensively as possible and synthesizing available facts into a holistic account. This thesis organizes these impacts according to the newly-published Matrix Framework (Kirchherr and Charles 2016), enabling it to be more easily compared with other case studies of dam construction around the world.

I Saul Steier, Associate Professor, Humanities “The Tanforan Memorial Project: How Art and History Intersected” Richard J. Oba San Francisco 2017 ABSTRACT Many Japanese Americans realize that their incarceration during WWII was unjust and patently unconstitutional. But many other American citizens are often unfamiliar with this dark chapter of American history. The work of great visual artists like Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Chiura Obata, Mine Okubo, and others, who bore witness to these events convey their horror with great immediacy and human compassion. Their work allows the American society to visualize how the Japanese Americans were denied their constitutional rights in the name of national security. Without their visual images, the chronicling of this historical event would have faded into obscurity. I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this Thesis ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to acknowledge the support and love of my wife, Sidney Suzanne Pucek, May 16, 1948- October 16, 2016.

Ainu Culture Conservation Office (Japan) Inoue N†. Otemon Gakuin University (Japan) ABSTRACT The primary aim of this paper is to outline the cultural landscapes associated with the Ainu people and their culture, as well as the characteristics of tourism leveraging these landscapes, in Biratori Town in the Hidaka region of Japan’s Hokkaido Prefecture. Such landscapes incorporate, as an integral part, sacred places of the Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan located mainly in Hokkaido. In particular, the Cultural Landscape along the Sarugawa River Resulting from Ainu Tradition and Modern Settlement has been designated as an Important Cultural Landscape by the Japanese government. Initiatives to preserve and utilize cultural landscapes associated with the Ainu as cultural properties enhance the value of local landscapes, and also have major significance as part of a regional promotion policy and motions for ethnic communities. Section 1 begins with an outline of sacred places in traditional Ainu culture based on examples, and details previous relevant research and studies. This is followed by a summary of views regarding the meanings of the words “sacred” and “places” and related concepts. In Section 2, the overall initiatives taken to preserve sacred places and cultural landscapes, in consideration of the relationship between such places and development of the region’s cultural landscapes, are discussed.
