It is a world apart – a cultural Galápagos where a unique civilization blossomed, and today thrives in delicious contrasts of traditional and modern. We begin in Osaka, Japan's third-largest city where things have always moved a bit faster. It packs more color than most cities with its dazzling neon and vivid storefronts. Above all, it is a city that loves to eat: its unofficial slogan is kuidaore ('eat until you drop'). At night, Osaka shines as it seems that everyone is out for a good meal and a good time. There is also a full day in Kyoto, old Japan with its quiet temples, sublime gardens, and colorful shrines followed by visits to Kobe, Himeji, Miyajima, Hiroshima, Kokura, ending in Hakata, Besides daily sightseeing we have included 2-hands-on experiences, 2 bullet train ride, cable car, sake brewery, and Hibikinada Green Park to visit the kangaroos and wallabies, and 2 free days to go off and explore on your own or shop til you drop.

Day 2 – October 10th, 2021- Sunday – Kansai-Osaka On arrival in Osaka, please make your way to the baggage claim area and then proceed to customs clearing. On exiting customs, we will be met by our local English-speaking guide. A short walk to our charter bus and then off to Osaka. The travel time will be approximately one hour. The luggage will be transferred separately by truck and meet us on arrival at the hotel. Welcome to Osaka, Japan's third-largest city. Ultra-urban, hard-working Osaka is an unabashed antidote to the fashion-forward frenzy of Tokyo and the prim propriety of Kyoto. This longtime capital of commerce is filled with down-to-earth citizens speaking colorful Kansai-ben (Kansai dialect) and neon-clad streetscapes bursting with over-the-top 3D signage. Osaka's real treasures are in the bustling street life in its arcades, markets, and byways. And Osaka really comes into its own at night, when locals come out for delicious eats and good times. Guaranteed, our hotel is right in the heat of everything you would want to experience of Osaka. We are literally right around the corner from the Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade. Accommodations for our stay is at the Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka. As you will quickly see, it is the ideal home away from home. If you arrive hungry, no worries as within steps of our hotel are several 24-hour convenience stores as well as late night dining options. Cannot sleep, there is a 24-hour Don Quijote close by. The remainder of the evening is free. Accommodations: Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka free Day 3 – October 11th, 2021- Monday – Osaka-Kyoto-Osaka (B) After breakfast, please meet your guide in the lobby by 8:00am as we are off on a full day of touring to Kyoto. The drive time is a little over 1-hour. Kyoto is old Japan, made up of quiet temples, grand gardens, and colorful shrines. While the rest of Japan has adopted modernity with abandon, the old ways remain in Kyoto. The morning begins with a visit to Kiyomizu Temple. This is Higashiyama-ku's most famous temple, known throughout Japan for the grand views afforded from its main hall. Founded in 798 and rebuilt in 1633 by the third Tokugawa shogun, Iemitsu, the temple occupies an exalted spot-on Mount Otowa. The main hall has a huge veranda that is supported by pillars and juts out over the hillside. Just below this hall is the waterfall Otowa-no-taki, where visitors drink sacred waters believed to bestow health and longevity. Dotted around the precincts are other halls and shrines. At Jishu-jinja, the shrine up the steps above the main hall, visitors try to ensure success in love by closing their eyes and walking about 18m between a pair of stones – if you miss the stone, your desire for love will not be fulfilled! Note that you can ask someone to guide you, but if you do, you will need someone's assistance to find your true love. Before you enter the actual temple precincts, check out the Tainai-meguri, the entrance to which is just to the left (north) of the pagoda that is in front of the main entrance to the temple (there is no English sign). We will not tell you too much about it as it will ruin the experience. Suffice to say that by entering the Tainai-meguri, you are symbolically entering the womb of a female bodhisattva. When you get to the rock in the darkness, spin it in either direction to make a wish. The steep approach to the temple is known as Chawan-zaka (Teapot Lane) and is lined with shops selling Kyoto handicrafts, local snacks, and souvenirs. Kiyomizu's grounds are particularly spectacular in spring during cherry-blossom season and in fall during the turning of the maple leaves. While the rest of Japan has adopted modernity with abandon, the old ways remain in Kyoto. There is no better place to experience this feeling than with visiting two of Kyoto's most attractive streets are Sannen- zaka and Ninen-zaka, a pair of lanes that lead down from Kiyomizu-dera Temple toward Nene-no-Michi Lane. The atmosphere of traditional old Kyoto is alive here. Lined with beautifully restored traditional shophouses and blissfully free of the overhead power lines that mar the rest of Kyoto, this pair of pedestrian-only lanes that make for some of the most atmospheric strolling in the whole city. In fact, it is here that you are most likely to be able to imagine what Kyoto looked like before modernity descended in full force. You will find plenty of restaurants and teahouses to refresh yourself as you explore, including the single most atmospheric teashop in the city, Kasagiya. Souvenir shops selling Kyoto original goods like dolls and Japanese fans, Japanese restaurants using the reconstructed merchant’s house, and ceramic shops stand side by side along the slope. The neighboring famous temples and shrines also attracting people here. Enjoy free time here to explore and have lunch on your own. This afternoon we will be visiting Kodaiji Temple in Kyoto’s Higashiyama District. It was established in 1606 in memory of one of Japan’s greatest historical figures. The main hall originally covered in lacquer and gold was rebuilt in a more modest style after burning down in 1912. The building is surrounded on two sides by impressive gardens designed by leading contemporary masters. One of the gardens is a rock garden consisting of a large field of raked gravel meant to represent the vast ocean. The other garden is an impressive tsukiyama style garden featuring a pond, manmade hills, decorative rocks and beautiful pine and maple trees, the latter of which turn brilliant shades of red and orange during fall foliage season. From here, off to discover the art form of making traditional Japanese sweets with a hands-on experience, wagashi making with an expert instructor. Yes, you can learn to make Kyoto sweets in this easy, and oh so enjoyable experience. Now, back to Osaka, arrival by 5:00pm and the remainder of the afternoon and evening is free. Accommodations: Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka free Day 4 – October 12th, 2021- Tuesday – Osaka (B) After breakfast, enjoy a complete free day. Below are a few of the options available to you. Dotonbori Best seen at night, Dotonbori never truly closes with some restaurants open 24 hours. It is by far one of Osaka’s most popular tourist destinations. It is a popular shopping and entertainment district and is also known as a food destination. At night, it is lit by hundreds of neon lights and mechanized signs, including the famous Glico Running Man sign and Kani Doraku crab sign. Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade and the surrounding Shinsaibashi area is Osaka's premier shopping center. Approximately 600 m long, this area is unique as it combines chain retail stores and trendy boutiques with expensive department stores and top designer fashion labels. Amerikamura Locally known as "Amemura," this shopping district is considered Osaka's counterpart to Harajuku and is a good place to see the forefront of teenage fashion and culture in Japan. It is a lively atmosphere that is populated with cafes, clothing stores and thrift shops with a younger feel than the nearby Shinsaibashi. Den Den Town Located in the Nipponbashi area, Den Den Town is an electronics district comparable to Tokyo's Akahabara and you may be able to bargain to a better deal. Den Den Town is becoming known as an otaku paradise with numerous manga and anime retailers as well as maid and cosplay cafes located there.

  • Evolution of Male Self-Expression. the Socio-Economic Phenomenon As Seen in Japanese Men’S Fashion Magazines
    www.ees.uni.opole.pl ISSN paper version 1642-2597 ISSN electronic version 2081-8319 Economic and Environmental Studies Vol. 18, No 1 (45/2018), 211-248, March 2018 Evolution of male self-expression. The socio-economic phenomenon as seen in Japanese men’s fashion magazines Mariusz KOSTRZEWSKI1, Wojciech NOWAK2 1 Warsaw University of Technology, Poland 2 Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland Abstract: Visual aesthetics represented in Western media by the name of “Japanese style”, is presented from the point of view of women’s fashion, especially in the realm of pop-culture. The resources available for non- Japanese reader rarely raise the subject of Japanese men’s fashion in the context of giving voice to self- expression by means of style and clothing. The aim of this paper is to supplement the information on the socio- economic correlation between the Japanese economy, fashion market, and self-expression of Japanese men, including their views on masculinity and gender, based on the profile of Japanese men’s fashion magazines readers. The paper presents six different fashion styles indigenous to metropolitan Japan, their characteristics, background and development, emphasizing the connections to certain lifestyle and socio-economic occurrences, resulting in an emergence of a new pattern in masculinity – the herbivorous man, whose requirements and needs are analyzed considering his status in the consumer market and society. Keywords: salaryman, kireime kei, salon mode kei, ojii boy kei, gyaru-o kei, street mode kei, mode kei, sōshokukei danshi, sōshoku danshi, Non-no boy, Popeye boy, the city boy, Japan, fashion, consumer market JEL codes: H89, I31, J17, Z00 https://doi.org/10.25167/ees.2018.45.13 Correspondence Address: Mariusz Kostrzewski, Faculty of Transport, Warsaw University of Technology, Koszykowa 75, 00-662 Warszawa, Poland.

  • Why Fair Use Should Extend to Fan-Based Activities
    WHEN HOLDING ON MEANS LETTING GO: WHY FAIR USE SHOULD EXTEND TO FAN-BASED ACTIVITIES Nathaniel T. Noda† INTRODUCTION In a celebrated children’s song, Malvina Reynolds observes that love is “just like a magic penny, / hold it tight and you won’t have any. / Lend it, spend it, and you’ll have so many / They’ll roll all over the floor.” 1 Just as love sometimes means letting go, the doctrine of fair use recognizes that the purposes of copyright are sometimes better served by allowing certain forms of infringing activity to occur. The four-factor test for fair use, codified at 17 U.S.C. § 107, affords courts sufficient latitude to fine tune the analysis in light of changing circumstances. The recent surge of interest in anime and manga, or Japanese animation and comics, 2 brings with it distinctive examples of what may be dubbed “fan-based activities,” which indicate how courts can adapt the fair use analysis to best balance the public’s access to creative works with the interests of copyright holders. The joint popularity of anime and manga is no coincidence: the origin and evolution of manga is entwined with the origin and evolution of anime, representing a symbiosis between the † Mr. Noda is a J.D.

  • Poverty Management and Urban Governance in Modern
    POVERTY MANAGEMENT AND URBAN GOVERNANCE IN MODERN OSAKA, 1871-1944 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY DECEMBER 2012 By John P. Porter Dissertation Committee: Yuma Totani, Chairperson Peter Hoffenberg Shana Brown Liam Kelley Patricia Steinhoff Lonnie Carlile Keywords: Osaka, Poverty, Relief, Urban Governance, Cholera ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the relationship between urban poverty and local governance in modern Osaka. It seeks to elucidate the strategies and institutional mechanisms through which the authorities in Osaka attempted to regulate the urban poor from the immediate aftermath of the Meiji Restoration to the Pacific War. It begins by examining the dissolution of early modern Osaka’s beggar fraternity, the kaito nakama, and considering the impact of the Restoration and subsequent dismantling of the early modern status system on the practice of poverty management and the lives of the urban poor. Following the Restoration, the mechanisms through which the authorities in Osaka attempted to regulate the poor underwent a dramatic transformation. For centuries, the authorities had permitted thousands of the city’s poorest residents to survive by gathering alms. However, in the early 1870s, officials came to view begging as a deleterious practice that encouraged idleness and dependence and stripped otherwise able-bodied individuals of their desire for self-sufficiency. Some asserted that if the practice were allowed to persist, it would ultimately undermine the vitality and stability of the fledgling Meiji state. In order for Japan to compete with the comparatively affluent states of the West, officials came to believe that it was necessary to mobilize the entire populous, including the members of economically disadvantaged groups previously permitted to subsist on the margins of the urban economy.
