Abstract:

Two Japanese public art museums, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Gallery and the National Art Museum of Osaka, hosted Project Babel, which included the Babel-mori (Heaping plate of food items imitating the Tower of Babel) project. This was part of an advertising campaign for the traveling exhibition “BABEL Collection of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen: Bruegel’s ‘The Tower of Babel’ and Great 16th Century Masters” in 2017. However, Babel-mori completely misconstrued the meaning of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11:1–9. I explore the opinions of the curators at the art museums who hosted it and the university students who took my interview on this issue. I will also discuss the treatment of artwork with religious connotations in light of education in Japan. These exhibitions of Christian artwork provide important evidence on the contemporary reception of Christianity in Japan and, more broadly, on Japanese attitudes toward religious minorities.

Abstract:

A century ago, crystallogtaphy ushered in the era of modern science & technology in Japan. The beginning of modern crystallography in Japan dates back to 1913. Torahiko Terada (Tokyo Imperial University) demonstrated X-ray diffraction[1] and Shoji Nishikawa (Tokyo Imperial University) reported on X-ray patterns of fibrous, lamellar and granular substances[2]. In 1936, Ukichiro Nakaya (Hokkaido University) successfully classified natural snow crystals and made the first artificial snow crystals. In the last half-century, developments in crystallography helped form thriving manufacturing sectors such as the semiconductor industry, the iron and steel industries, the pharmaceutical industry, the electronics industry, the textile industry, and the polymer industry, as well as a wide array of academic research.

Abstract:

In this article there discusses the question of advisability high-rise construction, the reasons for its use, both positive and negative sides of it. On the one hand, a number of authors believe that it is difficult to avoid high-rise construction due to the limited areas in very large cities. On the other hand, a number of other authors draw attention to the problems associated with high-rise construction. The author of the article analyses examples of high-rise construction in several countries (UAE, Dubai "Burj Khalifa"; Japan "Tokyo Sky Tree"; United States of America, "Willis Tower"; Russia "Federation Tower") and proves the advisability of high-rise construction in the city.

Abstract:

This article attempts to identify the fundamental physical and ideological elements that shape Japanese urbanism. It examines the development of the suburb of Denenchōfu near Tokyo as an example of Ebenezer Howard's garden city idea and shows how it met the needs of a new social order during the period of modernization. Denenchōfu was planned and developed outside of Tokyo at the beginning of the twentieth century by a group, led by Meiji period developer Eiichi Shibusawa, that was inspired by Howard's urban planning ideas. Like most garden cities. Denenchōfu was transformed over time into a relatively conventional suburb. Nevertheless it became one of the most successful planned developments in Japan. Part of this success stems from its timely completion, which coincided with the huge population exodus from Tokyo following the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 as well as from its prime location on the rapidly developing suburban railway network. Drawing from Japanese sources, this analysis traces the planning process of the project. It also examines the role of design guidelines and continuities with premodern forms in shaping the overall urban plan and individual houses.

Abstract:

The article examines Tokyo's efforts to link the Philippine and the Japanese security spokes in the face of Beijing's moves to widen the cleavage between both countries' alliances with the U.S. and render them irrelevant. The article concludes that Manila and Tokyo must first reconfigure a defense relationship that is not merely a military aggregation but a political apparatus enabling them to constructively engage an emergent China.

Abstract:

Sea level rise and an increase in typhoon intensity are two of the expected consequences from future climate change. In the present work a methodology to change the intensity of tropical cyclones in Japan was developed, which can be used to assess the inundation risk to different areas of the country. An example of how this would affect one of the worst typhoons to hit the Tokyo Bay area in the 20th century was thus developed, highlighting the considerable dangers associated with this event, and how current sea defences could be under danger of failing by the end of the 21st century.

Abstract:

This article presents the concept of Informational City – the city of 21st century with its highly developed digital, knowledge or creative infrastructures as well as other important aspects contributing to its informativeness. The authors have selected four Japanese cities as the best candidates for (emerging) Informational Cities and investigated data referring to them in order to determine if they indeed can be labelled as Informational Cities. The authors compared the four cities – Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka and Kyoto, and made a ranking of them in regard to their level of informativeness.

Abstract:

When Nishida Kitarô wrote Studies of the Good, he was a high school teacher in Kanazawa far from Tokyo, the center of Japanese scholarship. While he was praised for his intellectual effort, there was no substantive agreement about the content of his ideas. Critics disagreed with the way he conceived of reality and of truth as contained in reality. Taken together, I believe that the responses to Nishida's early work give us a window on the state of Japanese philosophy in the early twentieth century. In what follows, I give evidence for the existence of such a debate about the nature of truth and reality. After a sketch of Nishida's position (in which scientific truth is made subordinate to an all-encompassing divine truth), I outline the positions of two other contemporary thinkers: Katô Hiroyuki and Takahashi Satomi. With respect to Nishida, they offer markedly different takes on the question of universal truth: Katô favors an antireligious, scientific positivism while Takahashi accepts an existentialist notion of radical human finitude, in which human access to any certainty is denied. I conclude that one is confronted with a lively debate by Japanese philosophers inside Japan about the definition of truth and consequently about the nature of reality.

Abstract:

Baseball’s origins in Japan date back to the 1870s, and by the 1890s, it was a popular sport at the elite preparatory schools. Baseball was propelled into national consciousness by a series of games played by the most prestigious of those schools, First Higher School in Tokyo, against a team of Americans from the port of Yokohama. Their surprising success against the experienced American adults at a moment of patriotic fervor and a revival of a samurai warrior ethics as a national template popularized these boys, this sport, and this samurai imagery as a Japanese style of playing baseball. The game then spread rapidly through a national public education system, and it was promoted by newspapers and urban transport companies. Baseball, even its schoolboy origins, was not just education but edu-tainment, a contentious hybrid of moral pedagogy and profitable entertainment. Baseball, this chapter demonstrates, played a central role in the new metropolitan modernity of early twentieth-century Japan, and this provided a complex foundation for the professional sport that was Japan’s central entertainment in the post–World War II decades.

Abstract:

The year 1868 is usually considered to be the beginning of modern Japan. In that year the Tokugawa government, a feudal samurai government in Edo (today’s Tokyo), was replaced by a modern imperial government (initially based in Kyoto, the old imperial capital) at a time of internal crisis and the fear of colonization by European imperial powers. This revolutionary political change is named the Meiji Restoration because the ancient imperial system was nominally restored under Emperor Meiji. The new government began as a mixture of ancient Japanese and modern Western imperial systems, but it soon became a completely Westernized government, which adopted a policy of full-fledged modernization. However, the introduction of Western science had already started long before the Meiji Restoration. During the Edo Period, the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603–1867) strictly controlled overseas trade and the Netherlands was the only European country with which Japan had diplomatic relationship from the middle of the seventeenth century until 1853. In the second half of the eighteenth century some books in Dutch on science, technology, and medicine were imported into Japan. For the introduction of Western medicine, physicians played an important role. During the Edo Period there was a class system: the samurai class (warrior) controlled the common people in villages and towns. All the professions were considered to be hereditary. However, physicians could move rather freely along the social ladder (hierarchy). If physicians were employed by feudal lords, they became accepted as members of the samurai. There was a reform movement among physicians during the eighteenth century. In 1754 Yamawaki Toyo (1706–62), a physician in Kyoto, received official permission to inspect the anatomy of a human body, using a cadaver of a condemned criminal, after he had inspected otters (a small animal with four webbed feet), the structure of which was quite different from Chinese medicine’s teaching. After him physicians were allowed to inspect condemned criminals’ bodies.

Abstract:

From the 1960th to 1980th years in the second half of the 20th century, numerous “sea city concepts” were proposed as a new city image. Among these concepts, in Japan, the sea city concept reflecting the current urban development situation of that time, was drawn by the architects as an image of the ideal city. During that period, in Japan for the purpose of the further economic development, the landfilled industrial zones were created in the surroundings of large metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. It led to the concentration of the population due to the people fleeing to the big cities from the provinces for employment, which created various problems of big cities such as population overcrowding, land shortage, traffic jams, air pollution, etc., so the different tasks became apparent. As a way to solve such problems, a sea city plan has been proposed. The oldest initiative was the Tokyo Bay concept of 1958 which proposed the creation of a new city by creating a new land by landfilling Tokyo Bay. However, that initiative only covered the expansion of the existing land, and didn’t make any advantage of “ocean” resources. For that reason, the further proposals subsequently enabled taking advantage of the sea by creating the canals, artificial islands or pile-style structures which led to adoption of proposal to float up. After that, the sea city concepts basing on the floating type had increased, and the subjected water area transited from the shallow water to the offshore area. Furthermore, the authors are planning to arrange the process of transition of the concept of the sea city by taking into account the changes the way oceans are treated and the structures relative to time.

Abstract:

Abstract A stereo camera system was installed facing Southeast at the observational tower owned by the University of Tokyo in the Sagami Bay, Japan. The three-dimensional wave fields were reconstructed from the stereo images, which were successfully captured from April 2017 until now, by using an open source software WASS (Waves Acquisition Stereo System). The significant wave heights and periods calculated from the stereo images covering an area of 80 m by 80 m were compared against those derived from the ultra-sonic wave gauge at the tower. Overall, a reasonable agreement is achieved, but the accuracy of the stereo reconstruction degrades with the distance from the camera. Also, the significant wave period derived from stereo imaging tends to be shorter, likely related to the error at high frequencies. The reconstructed wave field will be assimilated into a phase-resolved nonlinear wave model. The ensemble Higher Order Spectral simulations and the implementation of the a4DVAR data assimilation scheme, allowed us to substantially extend the estimated wave field beyond the stereo imaging domain. A field campaign with an ADCP in the field of view of the stereo camera and two surface wave buoys outside of the view were conducted for validation.
