  • 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.

    Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. A, 37(1), pp. 15–26, March 22, 2011 New Spiders of the Families Tetragnathidae, Nephilidae and Clubionidae (Arachnida, Araneae) from Izu and Ogasawara Islands, Tokyo Hirotsugu Ono Department of Zoology, National Museum of Nature and Science, 3–23–1, Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 169–0073 Japan E-mail: [email protected] (Received 29 October 2010; accepted 9 February 2011) Abstract Three new spiders of the families Tetragnathidae, Nephilidae and Clubionidae (Arach- nida, Araneae) from Hachijojima and Mikurajima Islands of the Izu Islands, and Chichijima Island of the Ogasawara Islands are described under the names, Leucauge nagashimai sp. nov. (Tetra- gnathidae), Nephila clavata caerulescens subsp. nov. (Nephilidae) and Clubiona oceanica sp. nov. (Clubionidae). Leucauge nagashimai resembles Chinese Leucauge bimaculata and liui, both de- scribed by Zhu, Song et Zhang (2003), but differs from the two species by the details of female genitalia, especially in the shape of spermathecae. Clubiona oceanica belongs to the species group of Clubiona hystrix defined by Deeleman-Reinhold (2001) and stands close to Clubiona maipai Jäger et Dankittipakul, 2010 from Thailand, Clubiona kuu Jäger et Dankittipakul, 2010 from Laos, Clubiona damirkovaci Deeleman-Reinhold, 2001 from Peninsular Malaysia and Clubiona hitchinsi Saaristo, 2002 from Seychelles Islands, but is distinguishable from these known species by the structure of female genitalia, especially the position of intromittent orifices and the condition of in- tromittent canals and in details of tibial apophysis and embolus of male palpal organ. Nephila clavata caerulescens is described for the populations of Nephila clavata on Hachijojima and Mikurajima Islands, which show a remarkable variation on the coloration of the body not mimic to the color pattern of vespid wasps.

  • The Archaeology of the Ogasawara Islands
    The Archaeology of the Ogasawara Islands Received March 1983 SHlzua aDA INTRODUCTION HE 30 -ODD ISLANDS and shoals that comprise the Ogasawara Islands lie in an area 1000-1300 km south-southeast ofTokyo, extending from 24°14' to 27°45' north T latitude and 141 °16' to 142°26' east longitude. From north to south the group consists of the Mukojima Islands, the Chichijima Islands, the Hahajima Islands, and the Volcano Islands. Climatically the group belongs to the oceanic subtropics; however, due to warm-water currents in the area, the climate is tropical. Geographically the Ogasawaras are located in the center of an arc formed between the Izu Islands and the Marianas, per­ pendicular to Japan. The group is connected to Japan through the Izu Islands and also, through the Okinawan Islands and Taiwan, to Malaysia and India in the tropics. More­ over, it is also connected geographically in the South to the tropical Pacific islands of Micronesia and distant Polynesia (Fig. 1). From a study of documents of the Edo Period, it appears that the Ogasawara Islands were uninhabited through the eighteenth century. In European records from the same periods, the Ogasawaras are referred to as the Bonin Islands (apparently a corruption of the Japanese "munin" or "empty ofmen") and are noted as being devoid ofhuman occu­ pation. Today, however, from the results of archaeological research carried out in the South Pacific, it appears that Stone Age man was widely dispersed through the islands of the Pacific. Thus any consideration ofsuch questions as the polished stone adzes of Kita­ Iwojima; the agate, sandstone, and coral artifacts from Chichijima; and the bone and cowry-shell artifacts from Hahajima must take into account the navigational capabilities Shizuo Oda is a member of the Department of Culture, Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education.
