Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

  • The Akamon of the Kaga Mansion and Daimyō Gateway Architecture in Edo1
    AUTOR INVITADO Mirai. Estudios Japoneses ISSN-e: 1988-2378 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/MIRA.57100 Painting the town red: The Akamon of the Kaga mansion and daimyō gateway architecture in Edo1 William H. Coaldrake2 Abstract: Built in 1827 to commemorate the marriage of the daimyō Maeda Nariyasu to a daughter of the shogun Tokugawa Ienari, the Akamon or ‘Red Gateway’ of the University of Tokyo, is generally claimed to be a unique gateway because of its distinctive colour and architectural style. This article uses an inter- disciplinary methodology, drawing on architectural history, law and art history, to refute this view of the Akamon. It analyses and accounts for the architectural form of the gateway and its ancillary guard houses (bansho) by examining Tokugawa bakufu architectural regulations (oboegaki) and the depiction of daimyō gateways in doro-e and ukiyo-e. It concludes that there were close similarities between the Akamon and the gateways of high ranking daimyō in Edo. This similarity includes the red paint, which, it turns out, was not limited to shogunal bridal gateways but was in more general use by daimyō for their own gateways by the end of the Edo period. Indeed, the Akamon was called the ‘red gateway’ only from the 1880s after the many other red gateways had disappeared following the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate. The expression ‘to paint the town red’ refers not only to the way the Akamon celebrated the marriage of Yōhime, but also more broadly to characterize the way many of the other gateways at daimyō mansions in the central sectors of Edo had entrances that were decorated with bright red paint.

  • Loss Is More Taxing the Wealth of Nations Passport to Europe
    frontiers in tax thinking beyond borders in financial services June 2008 FINANCIAL SERVICES Loss is more Managing tax during a credit crunch Taxing the wealth of nations Sovereign wealth funds – their privileged tax status? Passport to Europe Finding the most suitable entry point Introduction frontiers in tax June 2008 Welcome to the second edition of Frontiers in Tax. Thank you for all those of you who provided comments and feedback on our first edition. Our editorial objective is to regularly feature articles on topical issues that monitor trends and developments in the financial sector, and assess how tax can influence the impact these have on financial institutions. We also want to keep you abreast of international Paul McGowan developments in taxation which are being driven by the OECD and Global Chairman tax authorities around the world, and the affect that regulating these Financial Services Tax changes has on taxation. The financial services sector has been in a very dynamic or perhaps even frantic mode since the last edition. The sector has experienced the impact of the credit crunch on the liquidity of major financial institutions, watched the rise of investment in the financial sector by Sovereign Wealth Funds and has begun to understand the greater financial strength that the rise in oil prices has given the Gulf region generally. This edition addresses the tax considerations relevant to some of these issues. Transfer pricing is coming to the attention of more banks in recent times, as the OECD turns its attention more towards the activities of financial institutions. John Neighbour and his colleagues explain why transfer pricing, while certainly a tax risk, can also be an opportunity for effective tax rate management.

  • The Wakan Dialectic As Polemic
    Purple Displaces Crimson: The Wakan Dialectic as Polemic The cultural phenomenon known as wakan, the creative juxtaposition of Japanese (wa)and Chinese (kan) elements, can be difficult to articulate given the ambiguity involved in defining the boundaries of what makes something Chinese or Japanese, especially over time, or according to the unique perspectives of any given individual. Even at the seemingly irreducible level oflanguage, the apposition oflogographs expressing Chinese poems (kanshi), for example, and syllabic kana script expressing Japanese waka poems are not without nuances that render them fluid, interdependent, and aesthetically unified. Consider a 1682rendition of the Wakan roeishu (FIG.1), the famous eleventh-century anthology of Chinese and Japanese poetry, in which four columns of darkly inked logo graphs render fragments of Chinese poems nearly twice the size of the attenuated columns of kana to the left.' While the powerful Chinese graphs brushed in an assertive running script may at first seem clearly distinct and visually dominant, a closer look reveals an underlying merging of wa and kan in the work through, among other things, the paper decoration. Images of Chinese-style dragons contained within horizontal lines studded with golden dots roil across the upper register of the paper, breathing life into the design suggestive of a variety of associations, from Chinese emperors to serpentine kings beneath the sea. On the other hand, forms reminis­ cent ofblue clouds, invoking Japanese methods of paper manufacture, encroach toward the center, spilling over and neutralizing the visual force of the dragons, whose golden hue harmonizes with golden hills below. Beneath the calligraphy gold designs ofJapanese bush clover create a local setting for this synesthetic theater of poetic performance.

  • PREFACE RICHARD LAIRD Federation of Student Nationalists the European Union Has Provided Many Benefits to Scots
    PREFACE RICHARD LAIRD Federation of Student Nationalists The European Union has provided many benefits to Scots. It has given us the freedom to live, work, and travel across the continent and has given us rights which protect us while in any of the Member States. However, these rights are of little use if we are not aware of them and do not know what they are and how to use them. The Passport to Europe will go some way towards helping Scots become more informed of their rights across the EU. Many Scots begin travelling while at university. The combination of newly-found independence and the potential offered by international travel means that many people become slightly footloose during their university years. The cosmopolitan nature of modern Europe and the growth of low- cost travel has produced seemingly unlimited opportunities for young people. Accordingly, more students than ever are travelling throughout Europe. The Passport to Europe now provides Scottish students with a convenient source of valuable information about travel within the EU. However, not every student sees Europe as a tourist. An increasing number of students are taking advantage of the opportunities presented by European academic exchanges. Whether organised by the EU through Erasmus or another of the Lifelong Learning Programmes, or bilaterally between institutions, students in Scotland are now able to complete parts of their degrees in other countries. My own university offers exchanges to 21 different European countries! This publication will now make the exchange process slightly less stressful for students as Europeans’ rights and rules are outlined in one document.
