35 Fukui Castle Ruins Nearby Kitanoshō Castle was built in 1575 Ōte 3-chome/Chuo 1-chome and Elsewhere, by regional warlord Shibata Katsuie. After The sprawling Fukui Castle, built by Shibata Katsuie and Yūki Hideyasu served as the foundation of present day losing the Battle of Shizugatake to Hashiba Fukui City. As integral to city life as ever, and their likenesses lead the annual Echizen Jidai Parade. Hideyoshi in 1583, Katsuie set fire to his castle tower after sealing himself and his wife, Oichi no Kata, inside. Fukui Castle was built 2km to the north shortly thereafter, concealing what little remained of Katsuie’s fortress. Currently, the area of Kitanoshō’s inner keep contains traces of the old castle as well as Kitanoshō Ruins and Shibata Park Shibata Park, Shibata Shrine, and statues commemorating the tragic Oichi no Kata and her three daughters: Chacha, Ohatsu, and Ogō. Today Katsuie is regarded as having laid the foundations for what was to become Fukui City, and the Spring Festival’s Echizen Jidai Parade is led by impersonators of he and his wife. The procession makes its way through rows of cherry trees in full bloom, making it both a heroic and poetic sight. Former site of Fukui Castle’s Fukui Castle was built in 1600 by Yūki Hideyasu, second son of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Its inner moat, stone walls, Bronze statues commemorating Oichi no Kata and her three daughters and tower base remain today, as well as a 2007 reconstruction of Orōkabashi Bridge, the local lord’s private causeway. The ruins are also renowned as a scenic spot for cherry blossom viewing.

The Edicts of Toyotomi Hideyoshi: Excerpts from Limitation on the Propagation of Christianity, 1587 Excerpts from Expulsion of Missionaries, 1587
Primary Source Document with Questions (DBQs) THE EDICTS OF TOYOTOMI HIDEYOSHI: EXCERPTS FROM LIMITATION ON THE PROPAGATION OF CHRISTIANITY, 1587 EXCERPTS FROM EXPULSION OF MISSIONARIES, 1587 Introduction The unification of Japan and the creation of a lasting national polity in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries required more than just military exploits. Japan’s “three unifiers,” especially Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536- 1598) and Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616), enacted a series of social, economic, and political reforms in order to pacify a population long accustomed to war and instability and create the institutions necessary for lasting central rule. Although Hideyoshi and Ieyasu placed first priority on domestic affairs — especially on establishing authority over domain lords, warriors, and agricultural villages — they also dictated sweeping changes in Japan’s international relations. The years from 1549 to 1639 are sometimes called the “Christian century” in Japan. In the latter half of the sixteenth century, Christian missionaries, especially from Spain and Portugal, were active in Japan and claimed many converts, including among the samurai elite and domain lords. The following edicts restricting the spread of Christianity and expelling European missionaries from Japan were issued by Hideyoshi in 1587.

Some Observations on the Weddings of Tokugawa Shogun’s Daughters – Part 1 Abstract In this study I shall discuss the marriage politics of Japan's early ruling families (mainly from the 6th to the 12th centuries) and the adaptation of these practices to new circumstances by the leaders of the following centuries. Marriage politics culminated with the founder of the Edo bakufu, the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616). To show how practices continued to change, I shall discuss the weddings given by the fifth shogun sunaT yoshi (1646-1709) and the eighth shogun Yoshimune (1684-1751). The marriages of Tsunayoshi's natural and adopted daughters reveal his motivations for the adoptions and for his choice of the daughters’ husbands. The marriages of Yoshimune's adopted daughters show how his atypical philosophy of rulership resulted in a break with the earlier Tokugawa marriage politics.

A Biomolecular Anthropological Investigation of William Adams, The
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A biomolecular anthropological investigation of William Adams, the frst SAMURAI from England Fuzuki Mizuno1*, Koji Ishiya2,3, Masami Matsushita4, Takayuki Matsushita4, Katherine Hampson5, Michiko Hayashi1, Fuyuki Tokanai6, Kunihiko Kurosaki1* & Shintaroh Ueda1,5 William Adams (Miura Anjin) was an English navigator who sailed with a Dutch trading feet to the far East and landed in Japan in 1600. He became a vassal under the Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was bestowed with a title, lands and swords, and became the frst SAMURAI from England. "Miura" comes from the name of the territory given to him and "Anjin" means "pilot". He lived out the rest of his life in Japan and died in Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture, in 1620, where he was reportedly laid to rest. Shortly after his death, graveyards designated for foreigners were destroyed during a period of Christian repression, but Miura Anjin’s bones were supposedly taken, protected, and reburied. Archaeological investigations in 1931 uncovered human skeletal remains and it was proposed that they were those of Miura Anjin. However, this could not be confrmed from the evidence at the time and the remains were reburied. In 2017, excavations found skeletal remains matching the description of those reinterred in 1931. We analyzed these remains from various aspects, including genetic background, dietary habits, and burial style, utilizing modern scientifc techniques to investigate whether they do indeed belong to the frst English SAMURAI. William Adams was born in Gillingham, England in 1564. He worked in a shipyard from the age of 12, and later studied shipbuilding techniques, astronomy and navigation.

The first week to ten days of that early June, in perfect weather, we all trained hard in the garden of our house and on both the beach and grassy slopes a few minutes away. The main photo above shows myself, in jōdan-no-kamae against Mick Greenslade, one of our early members, on the cliffs just east of the River Char. The time was 07.30. It is always interesting to train in the open on grass, especially if the ground slopes away! Lower down, we have a pic taken when the tide was out on Lyme Bay. Hakama had to be worn high or they became splashed and sodden very quickly. It is a pity that we haven’t more photos taken of these early practices. The following year, about the same date, four of us were again at Charmouth for a few days and I recall that we had just finished keiko on the sands at 06.30 when an older man, walking his dog, came along – and we were half Copyright © 2012 Eikoku Kendo Renmei Journal of the Eikoku Kendō Renmei No. 301 Summer 2012 a mile west towards the Black Ven (for those who know Charmouth and Lyme) – He paused to look at us then politely asked if we had been there the previous year?

A Study on the Location of Castle and Urban Structure of Castle-town by Watershed Based Analysis LIM Luong1, SASAKI Yoh2 1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Waseda University (3-4-1 Okubo, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 169-8555, Japan) E-mail:[email protected] 2Member of JSCE, Professor, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Eng., Waseda University (3-4-1 Okubo, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 169-8555, Japan) E-mail:[email protected] This research seeks to identify the urban planning methods for sustainable development by introducting watershed based analysis. From the view point of the ecological aspects, characteristics of Japanese cas- tle-town, JYOKAMACHI, was dedicated as one of important factors to identify urban planning methods. Therefore, the location of castle and its urban structure were investigated. GIS is used to analyze the loca- tion of castle and its urban structure by mean of watershed based analysis. Results showed that among 86 castle locations, about 34% of castle locations of Hilltop, Mountaintop and Flatland is located on the catchment edge, 60% is located near by the catchment edge and 6% is located in the middle of the catch- ment edge. 88% of most of the castle locations was found located at the highest elevation area comparing to its surrounding and within the catchment it’s located. It can be said that most of the castle locations tends to be located at the highest elevation area as a unit of watershed. 10 cases of overlaying maps between urban structure of castle-town in edo period and catchment maps showed that urban structure of castle-town had strong relationship with watershed.

At Okehazama, Oda Nobunaga (Masaki Ryu) of Owari, rumored to be a fool, spectacularly defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto of Mikawa as he was leading a much larger host than Nobunaga's toward the capital city, Miyako (modern‒day Kyoto). Nobunaga has decided to take Yoshimoto's place and lead his own forces to Miyako, so he is compelled to ally with the Azai clan in order to suppress Mino, a province lying between Owari and Miyako, by having his younger sister Oichi (Mitsuki Umino) wed Nagamasa, the Azai clan's successor. However, Mino is also the birthplace of Nobunaga's wife, Kicho (Reika Manaki). Her former retainers and people are in Mino, and Kicho is vehemently opposed to the province's destruction, even if it is now in the hands of an enemy who overthrew her father, Saito Dosan. But Nobunaga, who has embarked upon his path to conquest, holds to his course. Ten years later, Nobunaga has conquered Mino and marched into Miyako. He has become war incarnate and continues to slaughter his enemies, instilling terror in the populace, who call him a king of demons.

Report & Questionnaire
RESEARCH REPORT 1. Name: Brian Scott Aitken （ID No.: SP11001） 2. Current affiliation: University of Florida 3. Research fields and specialties: Chemistry 4. Host institution: Kyoto University 5. Host researcher: Chujo Yoshiki 6. Description of your current research. Using acyclic diene metathesis polymerization (ADMET), we synthesized and photophysically characterized a set of charge transporting materials (conductive plastics) where the charge mobility (similar to conductivity) was controlled by precise variation of the distance between conductive moieties along inert polymer backbones. This work was designed for eventual application as charge transporting layers in light emitting diodes (LEDs) to be studied at a later date at the University of Florida. Using current NSF support (DMR-0703261), we have already demonstrated and published on the utility of ADMET in the preparation of regioregular electroactive polyolefins (a new type of light emitting layer in LEDs) therefore this work was a simple extension of earlier research but required instrumentation (a time of flight charge mobility analyzer) available at Kyoto University and not at UF. While the effect of distance on photophysics in small molecules has been well documented, no such study as the kind conducted here has been undertaken for a polymeric system. This work has provided both a deeper understanding of the relative importance of various structural parameters to charge mobility in polymers (plastics which are much easier and cheaper to process and manufacture than other current electronic materials) while demonstrating a new method for control thereof and is thus of utmost importance to the field of organic electronics. Moreover, as global economic development continues, the field of organic electronics will remain one of the most actively studied due to the ever increasing demand for economical and energy efficient electronic devices, particularly those used for lighting and solar energy conversion.
