Abstract:

In 1959, the Conlon report, a presentation of United States government policies in relation to Asian cultures, stated the following about Japanese culture (in a section titled ‘Social change’):Developments within and among the various Japanese social classes suggest the dynamic, changing quality of modern Japan … No area of Japan, moreover, is beyond the range of the national publications, radio, and even TV. New ideas can be quickly and thoroughly disseminated; it is in this sense that Japanese culture can become more standardised even as it is changing. Many of the changes look in the direct

Abstract:

To date there has been no social history of the interesting subject of the Dutch language in Japan from c.1600 to 1900. This article provides a brief introduction to the use of Dutch in Japan, and then considers three possible approaches to writing such a history, evaluating the merits of each approach. The first of these is to analyse the use of Dutch in Japan by communities of language. The second approach is domain-based. This approach considers the use of language within social domains or spheres of activity, such as commerce and education. The third approach is a function-based one, which

Abstract:

Contrary to the perception that the social contexts of post-war Korea and Japan were completely different, there are also aspects of the country that were reorganized in a similar way, because post-war Japan and Korea each concealed colonialism and its legacy through aspects of complicity between the nation-state and American imperialism. In addition, the nation-states of the United States, Korea, and Japan deny this similar collusion and abandon their responsibility to respond to colonial victims. In film culture, these phenomenon are explicitly visible in the genres of liberation melodrama,

The article describes the history of the establishment of the Ukrainian community in Japan and analyses the historical presence of Ukrainians in the territory of Japan or the territories it controlled.

They are not isolated phenomena found only in Japan, but may be seen as aspects of a broader crisis of global modernity. How can we transform this desperate, se

Feeling strong pressure from Western Powers Japan abandoned her seclusion policy in 1854 and inaugurated serious efforts to modernize her society and economy after the Meiji Restoration in 1868. She, in turn, forced Korea who had been keeping the seclusion policy on her own to open the door in 1876. The feudal Korean government (the Yi Dynasty, 1392–1910) was impelled to embark on social and economic reforms by opening the door. Yet, after nearly thirty years’ struggle to make reforms and to secure the independence of the country, Korea was converted into a protectorate of Japan in 1905 and wa

The main factors behind the Japanese nursing labour shortage are, among others: a rapid increase in the number of hospital beds between 1986 and 1989; poor working conditions; and nurses’ low social position in their places of wor

It delves into the historical roots of cat culture in Japan, tracing its origins back to the Nara period when cats were introduced from China.

Abstract:

Japan and the Soviet Union/Russia have had a bilateral territorial dispute over four islands (Etorofu/Iturup, Kunashiri/Kunashir, Shikotan, and Habomai) over the decades. The Japanese government calls the four islands the “Northern Territories” whereas Russia regards the islands as the Southern “Kurile Islands”. The four islands used to be under the control of Japan until the Soviet Union occupied them at the end of the Second World War. Both countries had diplomatic negotiations for a peace treaty, but the endeavors resulted in failure. Why cannot Japan and Russia resolve the territorial disp

Abstract:

A central feature of Japan’s approach to community-based care of the elderly, including long-term home health care, is the emphasis on providing bath facilities. For mobile elders, senior centers typically provide a public bathing facility in which people can enjoy a relaxing soak along with friends who also visit the centers. In terms of in-home long-term care, visiting bath services are provided to assist family care providers with the difficult task of bathing a frail or disabled elder—a task made more problematic as a result of the Japanese style of bathing.

Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, I would like to examine, within a semiotic framework, two contrasting views of the contemporary culture of Japan – which is still relatively little-known outside its own shores. First, there is the outsider’s view, according to which Japan is firmly situated in the “Far East”. This is the usual interpretant of subject-sign Japan, which is taken to refer – as its object-sign – to all that is different from the “West”: language, culture, society, manners, et cetera. In other words, this is Japan still masquerading as the “Mysterious East”. The second view of Japan is that

This study aimed to examine the trends in the medical community in Japan during the Spanish flu pandemic by analyzing The Japan Medical World (JMW), a medical journal of modern Japan. The analysis included 3,856 articles published in issues Nos.228–279, from January 1918 to March 1919. Three key issues emerged from this analysis. First, the tone of the JMW’s discourse may have been influenced by the prevailing medical situation or may have placed emphasis on specific aspects of the situation. Second, the JMW and the medical community in Japan initially neglected the influenza pandemic until th

The Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo in July–September 2021 took place in a challenging social environment that seriously affected the public perception of events. When preparing for the Olympics in 2013–2019, the Japanese people actively supported the Games, which was confirmed by the results of numerous sociological studies.
