Numerous Jōmon period remains have been discovered within the borders of Hachinohe. The area was nominally Hachinohe under control of the Northern Fujiwara in the Heian period, and became part of the holdings granted to the Nanbu clan after the defeat of the North Fujiwara by Minamoto no Y oritomo in the Kamakura period. The Nanbu established numerous horse ranches, accompanied by numbered fortified settlements. During the Edo period, it was initially part of Morioka Domain, but in 1664 the Tokugawa shogunate authorized the creation of a separate 20,000 koku Hachinohe Domain for a junior line of the Nanbu clan. The town prospered as a castle town centered on Hachinohe Castle, and served as a small commercial centre and port for the fishing grounds off southeastern Hokkaido. Today, the port still serves the fishing Coordinates: 40°30′44.2″N 141°29′18.2″E industry and a number of international cargo vessels.

An Armed Forces Radio Service radio station was located on the base; it was known as AFRS Hachinohe. In 1950, after the North Korean invasion of South Korea, troops from Camp Haugen left for Korea. AFRS Hachinohe altered its broadcasts to include coverage of South Korea so Americans could benefit from its news and entertainment programs. With the final withdrawal of American forces from Hachinohe in 1956, the base was turned over to the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force and was officially re-designated JGSDF Camp Hachinohe.[2] In March 2011, the city was one of those hit by the 2011 Japanese tsunami. The tsunami tossed many huge fishing boats ashore and heavily damaged the port area. About 100 homes were Tanesashi Beach destroyed.[3] Divers from the United States Navy ship Safeguard joined with Japanese workers to help clear the port to facilitate the delivery of relief supplies via the city.[4] On January 1, 2017 , Hachinohe was given core city status.[5] Geography Hachinohe is located in the flatlands on the southeast coast of Aomori Prefecture, facing the Pacific Ocean.

  • Powerful Warriors and Influential Clergy Interaction and Conflict Between the Kamakura Bakufu and Religious Institutions
    UNIVERSITY OF HAWAllllBRARI Powerful Warriors and Influential Clergy Interaction and Conflict between the Kamakura Bakufu and Religious Institutions A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HISTORY MAY 2003 By Roy Ron Dissertation Committee: H. Paul Varley, Chairperson George J. Tanabe, Jr. Edward Davis Sharon A. Minichiello Robert Huey ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a doctoral dissertation is quite an endeavor. What makes this endeavor possible is advice and support we get from teachers, friends, and family. The five members of my doctoral committee deserve many thanks for their patience and support. Special thanks go to Professor George Tanabe for stimulating discussions on Kamakura Buddhism, and at times, on human nature. But as every doctoral candidate knows, it is the doctoral advisor who is most influential. In that respect, I was truly fortunate to have Professor Paul Varley as my advisor. His sharp scholarly criticism was wonderfully balanced by his kindness and continuous support. I can only wish others have such an advisor. Professors Fred Notehelfer and Will Bodiford at UCLA, and Jeffrey Mass at Stanford, greatly influenced my development as a scholar. Professor Mass, who first introduced me to the complex world of medieval documents and Kamakura institutions, continued to encourage me until shortly before his untimely death. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to them. In Japan, I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to Professors Imai Masaharu and Hayashi Yuzuru for their time, patience, and most valuable guidance.

  • A Study on Usual Traditional Disaster Prevention Measures in Akita
    13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering Vancouver, B.C., Canada August 1-6, 2004 Paper No. 1413 A STUDY ON USUAL TRADITIONAL DISASTER PREVENTION MEASURES IN NORTH OF AKITA PREFECTURE, JAPAN Chiaki WATANABE1 SUMMARY The object of this study is to clarify the usual traditional disaster prevention measures in Hanawa district of Kazuno city and Umenai district of Futatsui town, North of Akita prefecture, to apply these various wisdoms of ancestors, which now exist in the regional society of this district, to present disaster prevention measures. The relevant data were collected by the fieldworks for the two wooden traditional houses with wooden arcades ‘Komise’ in Hanawa district and the wooden traditional houses with thatched roof in Umenai district and also by the survey of references on the history of Kazuno and Futatsui. The regional people have taken countermeasures to disasters such as an earthquake, flood, famine and fire. The traditional measures for disaster prevention are not specialized in one disaster. The following knowledge was acquired. The share management and the stockpile of local resources by the resident are effective. It is important to know building structures which are appropriate for the climate in the districts. It is important to consider a measure in a historical cultural background. The various structural functions, which can be used for the daily life, are desirable. 1. INTRODUCTION A calamity becomes remarkable when external force, such as an earthquake, heavy snow and rain etc., exceeds the disaster prevention capability of the community concerned. Therefore people have raised disaster prevention power taking advantage of a past calamity experience from ancient.
