Abstract:
Vytautas Magnus University / Mykolas Romeris UniversityIn our paper, we discuss how French fashion was acculturated in Japan after WWII, a period in which Japan rushed to modernise/occidentalise. Through an analysis of the dominant discourse of Japanese fashion magazines, we focus on the followingFrench fashion trend that spread throughout Japan: a long, flared skirt inspired by a Paris fashion. The skirt was a new look by French fashion designer Christian Dior just after WWII. The other focus of this paper is on the soaring popularity of European brand Louis Vuitton in 1970 and 1999. Modernisation in the fashion realm following WWII could be said to be the localisation of the French fashions followed by Americans; the manner by which French fashion was acculturated in Japan after WWII changed according to the Japanese social context. Articles in the dressmaking fashion magazine Soen promoted the new style blindly. In the 1970s when great economic growth was realised, Japanese travellers shopping for real Louis Vuitton bags in France were attempting to belong to middle class society. Featured articles on Louis Vuitton in 1999 presented several ways of localising the usage of this bag for all generations of women to find belonging in their own groups.

Abstract:
Bilateral relations between Poland and Japan were generally friendly since the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905), throughout the entire interwar era, after the government of Japan recognized independent Poland after WWI (on 6 March 1919), and even during WWII. What was seen as important was a mutual support on the international arena during international conflicts (such as those in Upper Silesia, Manchuria, etc.) and especially military and espionage cooperation. How did the Cold War influence Polish-Japanese relations? Did the relations, which were until that time friendly, play a role in this period – a time of trouble for the entire world? The author tries to answer these questions, relying on selected and important events and issues from the period of the Cold War (until 1989).

Abstract:
Abstract This Article analyzes whether the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty, the only multilateral international agreement that draws borders in East Asia, resolves the longstanding dispute over Dokdo between Korea and Japan. It uses the dispute to draw larger lessons about the nature of the treaty that ended World War II in the Pacific and how it structured the peace in Asia differently from that in Europe. It uses U.S. archival material to reconstruct the history of the making of the Treaty, which continues to be the most significant international legal instrument governing post-WWII Asia. Although the Republic of Korea demonstrated a long history of control over Dokdo, Japan annexed the island on February 22, 1905. Japan places much importance on the Treaty’s silence because the Treaty otherwise required Japan to relinquish the territories it acquired before and during World War II. After the fall of the Nationalist government in China, the United States decided to rebuild Japan into a strong regional ally, and consequently negotiated a generous peace treaty with its former WWII enemy. This Article concludes that the Treaty left Dokdo, along with other important issues, open for future resolution.

Abstract:
South Korea and Taiwan are former Japanese colonies that have undergone similar processes of state-building since WWII. But they have chosen different rhetorical frameworks in their maritime disputes with Japan. In South Korea, negotiating with Japan can be viewed as threatening the country’s independence and pride, whereas in the Taiwanese government, cooperation with Japan is considered mutually beneficial. Why have these two countries taken such divergent stances toward Japan? This article examines the territorial disputes between South Korea and Japan over Dokdo, and between Taiwan and Japan over the Senkaku Islands. It sets forth a rhetorical framework of comparison, and it proposes a constructivist perspective in understanding South Korea’s and Taiwan’s legitimation strategies toward Japan from the late 1990s to 2018. This comparative study suggests that the differences between their legitimation strategies can be traced to their different colonial experiences with Japan.

After its defeat in the WWII and the occupation by Allied forces under the command of USA General Douglas MacArthur, Japan started its second educational reforms and established new-system universities in the principle of “educational equality.” During the period, the number of higher educational institutions increased significantly. In 1947, there were only 49 universities in Japan. The number, however, increased rapidly to 203 in 1951, four years after the establishment of the new system. In 2001, the number of universities, including two-year colleges, totaled as many as 1221. Among them, 975 universities and two-year colleges are privately owned, accounting for 80 percent of all universities in Japan. The privately-owned universities have since played an important role in the process of popularizing Japan’s higher education system. In the wake of the increasing number of higher educational institutions which private ones are in a majority, the rate of student admissions is also rising every year. In 1999, 49.1% of high school graduates were admitted to universities. According to the predictions of Japan’s Ministry of Education in 1997, the admissions rate is likely to rise as high as 50.4 in 2004. Japan’s higher educational system is moved from the phase of elite-only towards that of popularization and even that of commonalization. However, three drawbacks surface as Japan marches towards commonalization of its higher educational system: Firstly, the crisis of school bankruptcy is likely to occur as the number of high-school graduates will rapidly decrease. It is predicted that the number of Japan’s 18-year-olds will drop to 1.2 million in 2009. Though the rate of student admissions rises, that of student enrollment in the entrance exam of universities, however, drops. As a result, the fact that universities will close because of a shortage of students accounts for the most serious problem in Japan’s educational system. Secondly, the academic capacity of university students degrades. While the rate of student admissions rises and almost all students are admitted to universities, even those who know nothing of basic mathematics will be admitted to universities. Thirdly, national universities need to carefully decide the direction of their development. While the higher education is popularized, Japan’s national universities need to shoulder the responsibility of being part of the society or they get no financial support if they cannot meet the expectations of the society. The crises facing Japan’s higher education are also the hidden danger of Taiwan’s higher educational reforms. According to the statistics of Taiwan’s Ministry of Education, Taiwan had 144 universities in 2001. Among them, 86 were privately owned, accounting for 60 percent of all universities. Most of the universities were founded after the WWII. Many of the private junior colleges were promoted to be technical colleges since 1994. The rate of college student admissions in 1999 rose to 27 and is likely to rise to 59.8 in 2011. However, Taiwan, as well as Japan, is facing the dropping of birth rate. While the number of 18-year-olds is decreasing, the number of colleges and universities is rising. It is expected that Taiwan’s universities with poor management will face bankruptcy in the near future as a result of a lack of students, Taiwan’s participation in WTO and recognition of degrees granted by mainland Chinese universities. Taiwan’s higher educational reforms are going astray. Cultivating their own advantages over other universities has become the most important issue of every university. It pays to take for reference the measures implemented by Japan’s higher educational institutions.

It is hard to discuss Chinese history and war separately. The high variability of war effects economics, politics and way of life, and stimulates the circulation of national culture. In times of war, art takes on the features of the time and even becomes a tool of propaganda, affecting its style and message. The influence of past wars on art reverberates to today. Comics of war propaganda were the most noteworthy art form during the eight-year Second Sino-Japan War. They were mass-produced using commonplace art media, such as Chinese ink, pen and woodcutting and combined Eastern and Western ways of thought. They have an original position and unique influence in the recent history of applied art in China because of their historical significance, the way they were disseminated, and their cultural characteristics. This research looks at the art of propaganda comics during the Second Sino-Japan War period through comparing analysis of documents, historical research, and the messages of images in comics. The following four areas will be explored: 1) Clarifying the influence of traditional culture, contemporary conditions, and outside art and social thought on the comics of the eight-year Second Sino-Japan War, and exploring historical factors and background information to understand the distinguishing characteristics of the subjects, contents, images and spiritual connotations of comics of war propaganda. 2) Categorizing the main themes of propaganda appeals by analyzing the conceptual causes of comics of war propaganda, and examining their vocabulary from the point of view of visual propaganda. 3) An analytical reading of how textual elements used in comics of war propaganda, for example catchphrases, slogans, and textual narrative strengthened visual vocabularies. 4) Categorizing the pictorial strategies of the styles of comics of war propaganda by comparing graphic symbols and text used in comics, and analyzing the visual styles of comics. In addition, this research examines the achievements and influence of comics of war propaganda from a propaganda perspective and an artistic perspective. First, from a propaganda perspective, this research examines the following: The collective and spontaneous collaboration of comic artists with the propaganda strategies of the war, the dissimilarity of this phenomenon with public propaganda methods used by government organizations in the past, and how this developed into cultural propaganda, which was more varied in terms of approaches; The widespread dissemination and popularization of comics of war propaganda, which, readily reproduced and mass-dispersed, entered into every home and village via magazines, leaflets, and paintings on walls; Comics increased effective communication of information, readability, and understanding when presenting various appeals in image form because their visual messages were immediately communicated, they could be reread, and they were unlike spoken propaganda methods, which were easily affected by environment and literary rates; The main aim of comics of war propaganda was to persuade, and aided by succinct and humorous textual elements they were adept at influencing people’s ideas by appealing to human nature and emotions. They used various methods and language to form public opinion. They deeply instilled desired points of view into the minds of target audiences; and Comics of war propaganda achieved a multi-pronged propaganda effect and brought audience and artist together in a mutual exchange via dissemination in magazines, pamphlets, on wall paintings, cloth banners, and via public exhibitions. Next, in terms of artistic achievement and influence the following areas are explored: For the first time in Chinese history, artists took part in a large-scale, self-initiated production of propaganda comics. Comic artists formed art groups, published their work in editorial magazines, and held exhibitions around China taking pictorial art such as comics from indoors outdoors. They concentrated the power of artwork and speeded up the dissemination of information during the war; Numerous established artists, such as Feng Tzu-kai and Li Ke-ran, delved into the production of comics of war propaganda. Along with help from the promotion of famous authors like Lu Hsun, they brought the non-traditional art of comics and the folk art form of woodcutting into the mainstream; Comics used art for propaganda purposes and developed the practical application of art. The trend that followed placed art among the people. Art was no longer only for an elite minority. Now, learned men and ordinary people alike could appreciate it and take part in its creation. Comics of war propaganda broke restrictions in terms of where they could be read and the materials that could be used to create them. They combined the popular form of comics with low cost and easy to use art materials like pens, woodcutting, and traditional ink calligraphy; and Comics emphasized characters, succinct and direct visual effects, as well as techniques like exaggeration, interest, humor and irony, marking the beginning of a new style in Chinese painting and art.

Abstract:
Chapter Three shows how documentary film was a rich and chaotic site for nationalist, imperialist, and anti-imperialist experimentation. Introducing the female documentarian Atsugi Taka (1907-98) as a guide, the chapter demonstrates the development of the genre and show how practitioners worked within and around official ideologies and the restrictive media-scape. Atsugi is well-known for her translation of the theoretical treatise Documentary Film (1935) by British producer and theorist Paul Rotha. The book attracted an unexpectedly wide audience in Japan during WWII when documentary as genre flourished. Atsugi’s own films also present a tangled, complicated site of production where she navigated the gender politics of filmmaking and everyday life, state suppression of socialist and proletarian movements, and the problems of adapting socialist British theory to actual filmmaking in totalitarian Japan.

Abstract:
Starting in 1908, Japanese immigrants arrived as coffee colonos in São Paulo state. Required to immigrate in family units, the Japanese settled down among themselves in rural São Paulo. In the 1930s and early 1940s they were challenged greatly by Brazilian nationalism under President Getúlio Vargas and the WWII, which ended prewar immigration in 1942. After the war, Japanese immigrants decided to stay on in Brazil and began to migrate to the city, whereas Japanese immigration was resumed in 1953. By 1980, Japanese Brazilians had moved up to urban middle classes, by means of higher education. Yet, due to Brazil’s hyperinflation, dekassegui started on a large scale in the mid-1980s, which resulted in the creation of Brazil Towns in central Japan. In June 2008, the centenary of Japanese immigration to Brazil was widely celebrated in Brazil but soon afterwards the global recession began to move Brazilians and their families in Japan back to their homeland.

Abstract:
The Japanese criminal justice system has gone through transformations in its modern history, adopting the models of European Continental Law systems in the 19th century as part of Japan’s modernisation process, and then the Anglo-American Common Law orientation after WWII. More recently, citizen judges have been introduced to the criminal justice process, a further move towards an adversarial orientation with increased focus on orality and courtroom discourse strategies. Yet, the actual legal process does not necessarily represent the adversarial orientation found in Common Law jurisdictions. While previous research from cultural and socio-historical perspectives has offered valuable insights into the Japanese criminal court procedures, there is hardly any research examining how adversarial (or non-adversarial) orientation is realised through language in Japanese trials. Drawing on an ethnographic study of communication in Japanese trials, this paper discusses a ‘hybrid’ orientation to the legal process realised through courtroom discourse. Based on courtroom observation notes, interaction data, lawyer interviews and other relevant materials collected in Japan, trial participants’ discourse strategies contributing to both adversarial and inquisitorial orientations are identified. In particular, the paper highlights how accusation, defence and morality are performed and interwoven in the trial as a genre. The overall genre structure scaffolds competing narratives, with prosecution and defence counsel utilising a range of discourse strategies for highlighting culpability and mitigating factors. However, the communicative practice at the micro genre level shows an orientation to finding the ‘truth,’ rehabilitation of offenders and maintaining social order. The analysis of courtroom communication, contextualised in the socio-historical development of the Japanese justice system and in the ideologies about courtroom communicative practice, suggests a gap between the practice and official/public discourses of the justice process in Japan. At the same time, the findings raise some questions regarding the powerful role that language plays in different ways in varying approaches to delivery of justice.
