Marsh, Elizabeth. "The monkey and crocodile story in Japan : the presence of an ancient Indian tale among early Japanese narratives." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/52718.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the presence of early Indian narrative elements in Japan through an analysis of tale collections and regional Japanese folklore. Focusing on the reception of the widely distributed monkey and crocodile story, the present study aims to elucidate the role of Indian tales within Japan, and will serve to demonstrate the position of Japanese folklore among globally present motifs and tale types.
The project discusses literary and oral forms of the story, examining variants among the Indian Jātakas (ca. 3rd c. BCE – 5th c. CE) and Pañcatantra (ca. 300 CE), the twelfth century Konjaku monogatarishū, and nineteen oral retellings recorded from across Japan. Elements characteristic of the three primary literary versions are identified, while also recording transformations, additions, or omissions of thematic elements, as well as core motifs that have remained consistent across all known stories. This analysis demonstrates that Japanese variants of the tale were not drawn linearly from a single Buddhist text, but instead represent a fusion of themes from across various religious and cultural contexts.
The present study also provides some explanation as to the extensive dissemination of the story within Japan, identifying characteristics of the tale that facilitated its lasting and widespread promulgation. The study examines similarly themed myths and legends from the indigenous Japanese tradition that provided the foundations for its assimilation into the existing storytelling culture and the integration of characteristically Japanese motifs into the core framework of this imported narrative.Arts, Faculty of

Maxton, Anupama Esther. ""A band of Evangelists, native and 'foreign'" : the story of Japanese initiatives in indigenizing the Japan Evangelistic Band, 1930-1940." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2017. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/21820/.
Full textAbstract:
Most research on indigenization in missions concentrates on missionary achievements of church planting and handing them over to nationals. This is a historical reconstruction of the indigenization of a mission organization, the Japan Evangelistic Band (JEB), from 1903 to 1940. I argue that in a period when missionaries led mission organizations in the mission field, the JEB was led by the Japanese. The indigenous nature of the JEB was a Japanese initiative. The Mission was also distinct because women, both foreign and Japanese, were an important workforce in the Mission. They actively contributed to all aspects of the JEB ministry and gave the Mission a holistic nature. Japanese male and female initiatives and female missionary influence on the JEB ministry are assessed by their participation in establishing the Mission, their leadership in administrative councils, their contribution to evangelism and church planting, and their influence in changing Mission policies. The internal story of the Mission is reconstructed by reading the correspondence between the individuals and the councils in Japan and England, published and unpublished literature, and the archives of their ministry partners in the light of the Japanese socio-political environment of the period researched. Six internal voices add different dimensions to the story to reveal reasons for indigenous leadership and the effects of the growth in Japanese nationalism on the members and ministry of the Mission.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a broadly chronological study of representations of Japan and the Japanese in Australian novels, stories and memoirs from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first century. Adopting Edward Said???s Orientalist notion of the `Other???, it attempts to elaborate patterns in which Australian authors describe and evaluate the Japanese. As well as examining these patterns of representation, this thesis outlines the course of their development and change over the years, how they relate to the context in which they occur, and how they contribute to the formation of wider Australian views on Japan and the Japanese. The thesis considers the role of certain Australian authors in formulating images and ideas of the Japanese ???Other???. These authors, ranging from fiction writers to journalists, scholars and war memoirists, act as observers, interpreters, translators, and sometimes ???traitors??? in their cross-cultural interactions. The thesis includes work from within and outside ???mainstream??? writings, thus expanding the contexts of Australian literary history. The major ???periods??? of Australian literature discussed in this thesis include: the 1880s to World War II; the Pacific War; the post-war period; and the multicultural period (1980s to 2000). While a comprehensive examination of available literature reveals the powerful and continuing influence of the Pacific War, images of ???the stranger???, ???the enemy??? and later ???the ally??? or ???partner??? are shown to vary according to authors, situations and wider international relations. This thesis also examines gender issues, which are often brought into sharp relief in cross-cultural representations. While typical East-West power-relationships are reflected in gender relations, more complex approaches are also taken by some authors. This thesis argues that, while certain patterns recur, such as versions of the ???Cho-Cho-San??? or ???Madame Butterfly??? story, Japan-related works have given some Australian authors, especially women, opportunities to reveal more ???liberated??? viewpoints than seemed possible in their own cultural context. As the first extensive study of Japan in Australian literary consciousness, this thesis brings to the surface many neglected texts. It shows a pattern of changing interests and interactions between two nations whose economic interactions have usually been explored more deeply than their literary and cultural relations.

Jelbring, Stina. "A Decontextual Stylistics Study of the Genji Monogatari : With a Focus on the "Yûgao" Story." Doctoral thesis, Stockholms universitet, Institutionen för orientaliska språk, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-38006.
Full textAbstract:
The dominant part of the research on the “Yûgao” (The Twilight Beauty) story of the Japanese eleventh-century classic the Genji Monogatari (The Tale of Genji) is philological and often excludes a general literary analysis. This story has also been related to Japanese and Chinese literary influences, thereby placing the text in its literary context. The present study is an attempt to relate it more to theories to which it has hitherto been unrelated and thereby formulate a descriptive stylistics in a decontextual perspective. This aim also includes a look at how the theories confronted with the “Yûgao” story may be affected. First I introduce the problematics of context versus decontext by means of a survey of metapoetical texts about the monogatari (tale, narrative) genre with special regard to the Genji Monogatari. Next I analyze the characters and the setting, primarily using a narratological method. This is followed by an analysis of the story’s themes and motives. Chapter 5 looks at compositional elements, while the starting-point for the succeeding chapter is the interpretation of the “Yûgao” story as more or less a fairytale, and thus not as advanced a narrative as the latter part of the work. I shall, in contrast, argue that there are quite a few aspects of this story that do not fit into the model of the folktale. In Chapter 7 decontextualization as a concept turns from the story as such to address another concept, namely metaphor. Here the meaning of metaphor is expanded in order to include concepts that are not necessarily seen as such. Subsequently, I investigate the symbolic system surrounding the moonflower (yûgao) image. Lastly, the concept of decontext is taken a step further to survey how the genre of the Genji Monogatari has been transformed in the process of translation into the Tale of Genji. The main conclusion is that the “Yûgao” story combines tragic themes with comic motifs to build a symbolic narrative with characters hovering between roles.

This study investigates the challenges facing screenwriters in Australia who set out to represent the Japanese on screen. The study is presented in two parts; an exegesis and a creative practice component consisting of two full length feature film screenplays. The exegesis explores how certain screenwriting conventions have constrained recent screen images of the Japanese within the bounds of the cliched and stereotypical, and argues for a greater resistance to these conventions in the future. The two screenplays experiment with new ways of representing the Japanese in mainstream Australian film and aim to expand the repertoire of Asian images in the national film culture.

Full textAbstract:
The Japanese role-playing games attract players worldwide. Though, this is not necessarily due to a fascination with Japanese culture. While considering recent research on video games in Japanese Studies, especially the monograph by Rachael Hutchinson, this thesis puts an emphasis on Game Studies, as represented by Espen Aarseth. Accordingly, it asks whether the attraction of Japanese video games is primarily due to their game ‘play’, or their stories and narrated themes. In Game Studies this issue is known as the controversy between ‘ludologists’ and ‘narratologists’. Taking Atelier Shallie (2014–2020) as its main example, this study studies the different experiences provided by the ludic (gameplay) and the scripted parts (cutscenes). Ultimately it arrives at the conclusion that the combined theory of Ludonarratology has the greatest potential to account for all narrative factors in a video game such as Atelier Shallie. This includes possibilities for future interdisciplinary research.この論文では、Espen Aarseth（エスペン・アーセス）に代表されるように、ゲーム研究に重点を置いています。 したがって、日本のビデオゲームの魅力は、主にゲームの「遊び」によるものなのか、それとも物語やナレーション付きのテーマによるものなのかを調べていきます。 ゲーム研究では、この問題は「ludologists」、所謂ゲームを研究する者、と「narratologists」、所謂ストーリを研究する者、の間の論争として知られています。例としてシャリーのアトリエ（2014〜2020年）を取り上げ、この論文はゲームプレイとストーリによって提供されるさまざまな体験を研究していきます。 最終的には、Ludonarratologyという結合理論がシャリーのアトリエを始めとする様々なのビデオゲームのすべてのナラティブを分析し説明を可能とする重要なツールであることだという結論に達します。これには、将来の学際的研究の可能性も含まれます。
De Japanska rollspelen, också kända som JRPG (Japanese Role-playing Games), tilltalar konsumenter över hela världen. Dock så begrundar det sig inte nödvändigtvis på ett övergripande intresse för Japansk kultur. Med inspiration av ny forskning inom Japanologi som på senare tid har studerat sagor och berättelser inom datorspel, med synnerlig åtanke på monografin av Rachael Hutchinson, så fokuserar den här studien på Spelstudier (i.e. Game Studies), på så vis som Espen Aarseth förespråkar det. Således ställs frågan över hur narrativ inom Japanska datorspel uttrycks i de berättelser som berättas av spelmediet, och hur själva spelandet, alltså “gameplay”, förhåller sig. I spelstudier så kännetecknas debatten för dessa två synsätt av disciplinerna ‘ludologi’, som främst studerar spelande, och ‘narratologi’, som studerar författade berättelser inom spel. Med Atelier Shallie (2014–2020) som exempel så utforskar den här studien de olika erfarenheterna som ludik, alltså spelande och interaktivitet, samt de författade delarna, alltså textrutor och filmsnuttar (i.e. cutscenes), kan bidra med på tu man hand, och tillsammans. Slutsatsen är att den kombinerade teorin som kallas för Ludonarratologi möjliggör noggrannare studier av narrativ och berättande i datorspel.

Full textAbstract:
Ao apresentar o relato da trajetória de vida de duas mulheres ceramistas japonesas, Shoko Suzuki e Mieko Ukeseki, inserindo-o em seu contexto histórico e sociocultural, este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar as construções históricas, representações culturais, experiências pessoais e subjetividades envolvidas na construção da sua identidade. A partir da análise do discurso e da prática destas ceramistas, recolhidos a partir dos preceitos definidos por Daniel Bertaux (1997) como récits de vie (relatos de vida), pretende-se compreender os processos pessoais envolvidos na construção da identidade cultural das duas ceramistas, marcados pela vivência transcultural decorrente da imigração para o estado de São Paulo, Brasil, nas décadas de 1960 e 1970 respectivamente. A história da cerâmica japonesa toma aqui papel relevante para a construção das imagens de japonesidade, traduzidas no discurso e na prática das ceramistas. Contudo, é na apropriação e reinterpretação destas representações em diálogo com suas subjetividades e experiências pessoais que a identidade cultural é recriada. Ao lançar luz sobre o relato pessoal da trajetória de vida de duas ceramistas japonesas no Brasil, esta pesquisa pretende também contribuir para iluminar vários aspetos da história, sociedade e cultura do Japão e do Brasil do último século, em especial, a situação das mulheres na cerâmica nipônica, a imigração de artesãos e artistas japoneses para o Brasil, os processos de construção da identidade cultural japonesa através do artesanato e da cerâmica e os processos pessoais envolvidos na criação de uma identidade nipo-brasileiraBy presenting the life-story account of two Japanese women potters, Shoko Suzuki and Mieko Ukeseki, inserting it in its historical and sociocultural context, this work aims to present the historical constructions, cultural representations, personal experiences and subjectivities involved in the construction of their identity. From their discourse and practice analysis, collected from the precepts defined by Daniel Bertaux (1997) as récits de vie (\"life story accounts\"), we intend to understand the personal processes involved in the construction of their cultural identity, marked by the transcultural experience due to the immigration to Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s respectively. The history of Japanese ceramics takes here an important part for the construction of images of \"Japaneseness\", which are translated in the discourse and practice of these potters. However, it is in the appropriation and reinterpretation of these representations in dialogue with their personal experiences and subjectivities that cultural identity is recreated. By shedding light on the personal account of the life stories of two Japanese women potters in Brazil, this research also aims to contribute to illuminate various aspects of the history, society and culture of Japan and Brazil in the last century, in particular, the situation of women in Japanese ceramics, the immigration of Japanese artists and craftsmen to Brazil, the processes involved in the construction of a Japanese cultural identity through craft and pottery and the creation of a Japanese-Brazilian identity

Os primeiros japoneses chegaram a Marília em 1926 e, já em 1930, foi fundada a primeira associação japonesa nessa cidade, o Nikkey Clube de Marília. Em 1945, outra associação foi fundada, a Associação Esportiva e Cultural Okinawa de Marília (AECOM). Essas duas associações trouxeram contribuições essenciais para a disseminação da cultura japonesa e para a construção da identidade dos imigrantes em Marília e região. Nesse âmbito, esta pesquisa objetiva analisar como se deu o desenvolvimento dessas associações, em relação à cultura informacional, à memória e à identidade japonesa, uma vez que não foram identificados estudos sobre essa contribuição para a referida comunidade e para os brasileiros que vivem em Marília. Portanto, estuda-se o papel dessas associações na construção da identidade e da cultura japonesa em Marília, a partir dos relatos e da memória de seus participantes e dos documentos que constituem seus acervos. A pesquisa contempla uma abordagem qualitativa, de natureza exploratória, usando como procedimentos metodológicos a pesquisa bibliográfica e História Oral, além do estudo dos documentos que fazem parte do acervo histórico do Nikkey Clube de Marília e da Associação Esportiva e Cultural Okinawa de Marília (AECOM), que constituem o universo de pesquisa deste trabalho. Como resultado, apresentamos as motivações identificadas durante a pesquisa para a criação e manutenção das referidas associações no que se refere a cultura informacional que se desenvolveu a partir do relacionamento de imigrantes, seus descendentes e a comunidade local.
The first Japanese arrived in Marilia in 1926, and already in 1930, was founded the first Japanese association in this city, the Nikkei club Marilia. In 1945, another association was founded, the Sports and Cultural Association Okinawa Marilia (AECOM). These two associations brought essential contributions to the spread of Japanese culture and the construction of identity of immigrants in Marilia and region. In this context, this research aims to analyze how has the development of these associations, in relation to the information culture, memory and the Japanese identity, since they were not identified studies on this contribution to that community and to Brazilians living in Marilia. Therefore, studying the role of these associations in the construction of identity and Japanese culture in Marilia, from the reports and the memory of its participants and the documents that make up their collections. The research includes a qualitative approach, exploratory, using as methodological procedures to literature and oral history and the study of the documents that are part of the historical collection of the Nikkei club Marilia and Sports Association and Cultural Okinawa Marilia (AECOM) which constitute the universe for this work. As a result, we present the motivations identified during the research for the creation and maintenance of the association regarding the information culture that developed from immigrants relationship, their descendants and the local community.

Matsunaga, Louella. "Working in a chain store : an ethnography of a Japanese company." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 1995. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/28510/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study of "Futajimaya", a large chain store in suburban Tokyo, based on fieldwork conducted as a part-time employee at the store over a period of one year in 1990-91. This study aims to critically re-assess and deconstruct the view of Japanese companies as homogeneous, vertically structured groups characterised by harmony and consensus. Rather, a range of different representations of company-employee relations is shown to exist within the frame of a single large enterprise. Gender and generation are important themes, and the role of the company in mediating the transition to adulthood for its new recruits is examined, as is the importance of employment in the achievement of mature, gendered identities for both male and female employees. The thesis is structured with reference to the culturally significant categories of soto (outside) and uchi (inside), and traces the shifts in the way Japanese companies are represented according to context. It begins with the outside view as found in texts written for a foreign audience about Japanese companies in general, moving through a consideration of the ways in which three retail companies seek to represent themselves to that section of their domestic audience which furnishes their potential recruits, to an examination of the varying ways in which Futajimaya is viewed by its employees. Notions of harmony and conflict within the company are also examined, and the conclusion discusses the implications of this research for more general debates on outsider versus insider discourse and notions of formalisation and power.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research is to seek to situate women in the development of consumer culture in Japan in the period 1900-1930. This period saw the beginnings of mass consumption and the rise of what was to become one of its central institutions, the department store. One of the most important department stores to emerge was Mitsukoshi, which provided a site in which the new tastes and lifestyles of consumer culture and western modernity could be looked at, sampled and practiced. In effect the store could be seen as providing a new form of 'intimate public sphere' for women. Mitsukoshi also provided images and information on the new consumer culture classifications and learning processes through its house magazines. Other magazines, especially women's magazines, whose readership rapidly expanded in this period, reinforced this message. The extent to which women were seen as the central operators of the emerging consumer culture is a central focus of the thesis. The department stores were not only spaces for women to consume, but also to work. The emergence of saleswomen as a new category of working woman is also discussed. The ways in which an image of a new women emerged as they became employed in greater numbers in the new service occupations and became more visible in the city centre streets and consumption and entertainment sites, is also considered. One variant here was the 'modem girl,' whose image was both discussed and constructed in the media by intellectuals, writers and cultural intermediaries. One of the aims of this work is to sketch out the parameters of this process in Japan and ask how far the stores and other new urban spaces, along with the mediated sources such as magazines, newspapers and the cinema, helped to further some shift (however limited and temporary) in the balance of power between the sexes towards women, along with a concomitant redefinition of what it meant to be a women. The new woman, then, occupied a contested space which a number of parties sought to define: the consumer culture industries such as the department stores, press and cinema; the government with its various thrift and everyday life reform campaigns designed to keep women in the home, albeit as skilled housewives; the various movements for greater women's rights and reform, both in the middle class and the working class militant women workers; the intellectuals and cultural intermediaries, some of whom saw the 'modem girl,' as a new exciting phenomenon of urban modernity; and, of course, the women themselves, who not only reacted to these forces, but gained in their capacity and desire to have a greater say in the process and control over their own lives

The Structural Impediments Initiative (SII) talks held from September 1989 to
July 1990 represented the first attempt by Japan and the United States to
harmonise their domestic problems in international trade negotiations. These
bilateral talks were also the first of their kind to delve into a comprehensive
review of domestic laws and intrinsic business practices. In this sense, the SII
talks may be seen as a preamble to mutual arrangements by domestic
economies of their respective institutions and practices. This is likely to feature
more prominently in the field of international relations, as seen recently in the
European Community (EC) and the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA). In this context, as the United States and Japan are the two largest
and most technologically advanced economies in the world, accounting for
more than 40 per cent of the world total gross national product, it is significant
that they started harmonising their domestic rules through the SII talks, which
are examined in this thesis.

Chamberlain, Rachel P. "Articulations of Liberation and Agency in Yanagi Miwa's "Elevator Girls"." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2012. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/art_design_theses/102.
Full textAbstract:
Miwa Yanagi’s Elevator Girls series, a collection of glossy photographs featuring groups of similarly clad women lingering in expansive, empty arcades, made its international debut in 1996. While the pieces garnered positive reactions, Yanagi found that most Western viewers read her work as predominantly “Oriental”—confirming stereotypes of a highly polished techno-topic Japan that was still negotiating gender equality.
In this thesis, I explore alternative ways of reading Yanagi’s Elevator Girls series, which, I argue, call attention to myopic views of commercialism and identity in order to provide an alternative reading of these women as agents of transgression and ideological transcendence. Whereas many viewed Yanagi’s works as a comment on capitalist machinations, where consumerism has produced soulless, vapid feminine identities, I focus on the ways in which these women exercise agency without relying on notions of an individualized, unique ego.

Nakano, Takumi. "Japanese Pronoun Adventure: a Japanese Language Learner's Exploration of His Japanese Gender Pronoun." 2016. https://scholarworks.umass.edu/masters_theses_2/438.
Full textAbstract:
In Japanese, there are various kinds of first-person pronouns, and some of them express the referent’s gender identity. Gender-neutral pronouns are made in English- speaking world day by day, but there is not any common first-person pronoun which indicates the gender identity that positions the referent’s gender somewhere between masculine and feminine. The present paper conducted a life story research on the “Japanese life” of an advanced learner of Japanese at a university in the United States who has been exploring his gender identity by coining and using a new Japanese first- person pronoun 㛪 ore, which indicates “in the middle between masculine and feminine.” This new Japanese gender pronoun has enabled the research participant to express his gender identity as he desires to be, and brought the gender non-binary view to the Japanese-speaking world. His invention and usage of the new pronoun has been achieved between two languages, Japanese and Chinese, with the help of his friends. The study also shows the influence of the ideology of gender binary view in the society, which made a gap between his preferred gender expression and actual expression that occurs when he speaks Japanese. Finally, the present study suggests teachers and educational institutions of Japanese to provide students with environments where they can try out different identities and expressions before asking them what kind of language user they aspire to be.

Taiwan's rich history about folk literature during the reign of Japan was also an important stage for the publication of Taiwan's folk tales. These stories not only keep the record of folk tales at the time, but also affect the development of future stories. It could be said an important part for the study about the evolution of Taiwan folk story. There are three series of "Taiwan's story" and they are Japanese works. The first series of author Zhuji governance, a total of 23 stories. The second series of authors rice field Yin, a total of 25. The third series author He Tianyu, a total of 30. This paper is based on the Chinese translation which is collected and analyzed by Mr.Chen Wanchun.After the three series of stories are scattered, the folk essay narration is divided into myths, legends and folktales.The story summary,plot unit, and analysis, compare the story of the time,space and national cultural background characteristics and conflict. Hoping to help understand the story spreading and knowing their own attain the work about investigating. In this thesis,there are seven chapters： The first chapter introduces the research of the "Taiwan's story" from the level of previous studies and explains the motivations and methods of this paper. The second chapter discusses the background of the book which is from the Japanese rule of Taiwan folk literature and the Kominka Movement background cut into the "Taiwan's story" three series of book background. The third chapter is about breaking up "Taiwan's story" into three series to sort,observe and analyze. The fourth chapter involves the origin about myths, legends and folk tales to discuss and analyze whether the text is influenced by the policy at that time. The fifth chapter takes the narration of the gods to do the discussion and analysis The purpose is to understand the conflict with the policy about the folk tradition of the story and the content of the gods. The sixth chapter takes the negative character to discuss and analyze,the general education and vigilance. The seventh chapter is the conclusion which Summarized the results of previous chapters.

The motivation of this study is related to the experience when I was visiting Taiwan. During my first time in Taiwan, I met an elder Taiwanese who can speak Japanese.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation offers a micro-analytic study of the use of language and body during storytelling in American English and Japanese conversations. Specifically, I focus on its beginning and explore how a story is projected. A beginning of an action or activity is where an incipient speaker negotiates the floor with co-participants; they pre-indicate their intention to speak while informing the recipients of how they are expected to listen to the following talk. In particular, storytelling involves a specific need to secure long turn space before it begins since unlike other types of talk, a story usually requires more than an utterance to complete. Drawing on conversation analysis, I investigate how various communicative resources, including language, gesture, gaze, and body posture, manage such negotiation of the floor during entry into a story.
This study involves two focuses. First, it examines not only vocal means, but also non-vocal devices. Thus, I explore the linguistic resources employed to project the relationship between a forthcoming telling and ongoing talk. Specifically, I investigate how coherence and disjunction are projected differently – some stories are continuous with prior talk while others may start as a new activity. I also investigate the vocal resources for projection of a return to an abandoned story. Specifically, I demonstrate how a continuation and resumption are projected differently. Finally, I investigate the employment of non-vocal devices relevant to the projection of story entry.
Secondly, this study takes a cross-linguistic perspective. By examining conversations in two typologically different languages, American English and Japanese, I investigate how linguistic resources are consequential to the way projection is accomplished. Also, since only few studies have been conducted on storytelling in Japanese conversation, I aim to contribute to a better understanding of how the previous findings from English storytelling can be applied to Japanese conversations.
Storytelling is an important activity for human social life; telling of what we did, saw, heard about, or know helps us build good relationships with our interactants. This dissertation thus aims to explore how interactants co-construct a site for an important interpersonal activity in everyday interaction.text

There is not easy to make the Japanese’s onomatopoeia translate into Chinese. Even in the dictionary, it often just makes the literal meaning’s explanation. When reading Japanese’s fairy tales, we can find that there using many onomatopoeia in the stories, the onomatopoeia in child literature, It was more like making sound effects for the story than describe the people, the events, and the substances. For the past few years in Taiwan, various fields of translation studies have been currency. But when we inquire about the research of translation, we will discover the research of Chinese and Japanese translating research for child literature is not much, inside the prior research of onomatopoeia for fairy tales is more less. Because of want to probe into this theme, so make this study. This research is composed of five chapters. In chapter two, author give a definition the onomatopoeia of Japanese and Chinese, and organized these onomatopoeia materials. In chapter three and four, author go around the Kenji Miyazawa’s works, make the translation studies of onomatopoeia. Because of limitations of space, so author pick Night on the Galactic Railroad to be the subject of research in chapter three, and in chapter four author make an observation the results on chapter three, and make the further analysis of short fairy tales cross-check analysis. The study works is going to use The Nighthawk Star, Neko No Zimusho, Kiiro no Tomato and Gauche the Cellist; and Chinese translation book is picking TING-YUN LAI and CIAN-HUA OU’s translate edition to make cross reference. According to result of research, CIAN-HUA OU’s translate edition is as far as possible to make Japanese’s onomatopoeia translate into Chinese; but in other side TING-YUN LAI’s translate edition is more make it simple. Moreover, by comparison with the original, the Chinese translate edition is more like to use adverbs, adjective, verb and noun to translate the original’s onomatopoeia. We can find out variety of onomatopoeia in Chinese is less than in Japanese, and also not easy to make a lively presence expression. But we can find out there are many different rhetoric to translate the same onomatopoeia. We can say this is one of individuality of Chinese.

The Chinese fox-wife is considered with social common senses, therefore suitable for living in the human family. She also has opportunity to grow old together with human. Japanese fox-wife has a human appearance and kind heart of loving family, but she would leave human society and return to nature, eventually. The diversity of fox-wife images represents the difference of nature views between Chinese & Japanese races. It also results in the different fox-wife stories even under the same story frame.

Before the mid-age of 1980''s, Taiwan has put too much emphasis on the development of the “production” function in manufacture industry, and overlooked the development of “distribution” and “consumption” function. Therefore, it led the development of our commercial and distribution industry left far behind that of the United States, Europe and Japan. However, because of the variations of recent international economical situations and the growing pressure of export trade competition, our government''s policy has changed her emphasis to the development of internal demand market, and the distribution industry has became an important part in our domestic economical activities. Also, the development of distribution industry has become one of our government''s important policies. Because of the likeness of geographic environment, humanities and social situation, and the international trade relationship between two countries, the distribution industry in Taiwan was deeply influenced by that of Japan. From the macro point of view, the Japanese operating experience in distribution can give Taiwan an example. Japan has the most advanced distribution industry in Asia, and its convenient store industry has played an important role in modern Japan distribution market. Among many same trades, convenient stores 7-Eleven have the most brilliant records on its operating performance. No matter the creation of annual trade amount or regular benefit, convenient store 7-Eleven has exceeded its head office Ito-Yokado, and reached the highest annual trade amount in Japan retailer industry. Moreover, convenient store 7-Eleven has achieved the new record of exceeding 100 billion Japanese yen in its annual regular benefit. Its ability and spirit for continuously searching the innovation of business reformation, has led Japanese distribution industry to the state of modernization. Up to 2003, there are over 10,000 7-Eleven convenient stores in Japan; and it is difficult for any enterprise to shake its position in Japan distribution industry. The thesis will discuss the relation between the design and the management of the routes in distribution industry with Japanese enterprise from the perspective of distribution, and clarifies that the saving of cost on the routes and the growing sales ability of product are the lifeblood of the distribution enterprise. Then, the thesis will take Japanese enterprise 7-Eleven for example, and focuses on its design and management of routes in distribution, and clarifies with data to show that the innovation and activities of the whole route dimensions can bring a lot of economical profits for the enterprise. By the way, this thesis will prove that the successful distribution strategy did do a terrific job to its enterprise. I hope the perspective of the constitution and the management of the route dimension can give a more complete and different point of view to the researchers in the future. And also, this is the most important achievement of the thesis.

This study aims to establish a product mix decision model for DM designs in department stores. The model is divided into two parts. The first is to build suitable criteria to evaluate DM products via an analysis of relevant literature and the Modified Delphi method; the relative weights of the criteria were then determined via Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP). The other part is to determine the optimum product mix for DM design using the GRA method; this part is corroborated with both an example of a well-known Japanese department store located in Taiwan using two major promotional periods featuring “new arrivals” and “discounts” as common marketing strategies. The research result found that the strategies adopted in the “new arrival” period differ from those in the “discount” period. The four criteria in the “new arrival” period, according to their importance, are: popularity of the products themselves, the DM layout design, how the product manufacturers contribute to the DM design, and popularity of the products after they are promoted in some way. In this period, the most important point for the DM design lies in how much profit the brand of some product has earned. In the “discount” period, the criteria, in order of importance, are: popularity of the products after they are promoted in some way, popularity of the products themselves, how the product manufacturers contribute to the DM design, and the DM layout design; exclusive products play a crucial role in DM design during this period. Since DM is the main promotion channel for department stores, a DM always undergoes frequent evaluations. Also because the products and information in the DM can represent the image of a department store and even affect its competitive edge, such a model that will serve as an objective and effective tool for department stores to select a product mix that can best arouse customers’ shopping desire is academically and commercially valuable.

There are only three stores in Taiwan can be called “department store” during Japanese ruled period, which have elevators, female Attendants and food courts. The earliest Japanese department store “Mitsukoshi” broke the traditional rules that stores can only selling products on ground floor, and added food court into it. Food court occupied huge space and became a significant symbol. Now everything such as supermarket, laundry shop and shoemakers can be absent in department stores in Taiwan, but food courts can’t. This study aims to examine the food courts of Taiwan’s Japanese department stores through “spatial analysis” with an in-depth study of space design. Three Japanese department stores, including Dayeh Takashimaya, Mitsukoshi, and SOGO, in Taipei’s Tianmu area were analyzed, as the researcher looked into the relationship between the development of the companies and the area. In addition, the study attempted to explore the impacts of the three Japanese department stores on Tianmu residents. Through in-depth interviews with local residents at all ages and Dayeh Takashimaya industry, it tried to compare the strengths and weaknesses of the companies from different perspectives. In particular, the study focused on the interior space of Dayeh Takashimaya’s food court, featuring a comparison between the differences before and after its 2014 renovation, such as space elements, flooring, customer flow and service lines, and other related spatial analyses. Tianmu is a special area which locate at suburbs but crowed with Japanese department store. Though foreign residents gradually moved out, their influences about culture and living style remain. It is notable that food courts of these three Japanese department stores in Tainmu locate on different floors, and that shows their strategies about customers. Many of modern Taiwanese became fastfood junkie today, and food courts in local department stores became reliable choices. Not only the great number of dining choice, but also the comfortable space atmosphere, roomy circulation and food sanitation are the reasons why customers patronize.
