Abstract:

<em>After Japan’s annexation in 1879, Okinawa came under the unprecedented influence of Japanization. This research examined how learning in Hawai</em><em>ʻ</em><em>i influenced the Okinawan sense of identity of 11 Okinawan students. Grounded theory analysis of interview transcripts indicated that students became more conscious as Okinawan through encounters and interactions with local people, including Okinawans, and Hawaiians in Hawai‘i, and Okinawan events and activities there. Participating in an Okinawan club at the university provided opportunities for the students to express

Abstract:

Could colonial settlers who repatriated from colonies to metropole after the empire’s fall be considered ‘diaspora’? How do these migrants of decolonization maintain their collective memory of the past and solidary identity as a group? This article explores the historical experiences of Okinawan colonial migrants to Japanese mandate Micronesia (which includes the Northern Marianas, Palau, and Chuuk) and these migrants’ forced repatriation to Okinawa after the devastating battles in the Western Pacific in 1944–45. It also ethnographically examines the Okinawan repatriates’ pilgrimages to the is

Son Jiyon’s “Contemplating Post-War Okinawan Literature：Gender, Ethnicity, and National Identity” criticizes the East Asian framework for understanding, and delves deeply into the intersection of postwar conditions and the Cold War in relation to Okinawa, through an analysis of various texts. As the author suggests, the situation of Okinawa is a microcosm of wider problems that are prevalent in the consciousness of East Asia as a whole, and which therefore can be understood at a fundamental level by Koreans, because they overlap with the contradictions thrown up by war and division in South Ko

Japanese film director Nakae Y?ji’s 2009 feature film A Midsummer’s Okinawan Dream: Majir? of the Triangular Mountain (Manatsu no yo no Yume: Sankaku Yama no Majir?) is rooted in the culture, folklore and soundscapes of the Okinawan islands and uses imagery, sound, music and narrative to explore many traits that epitomize Okinawa’s distinct cultural identity in modern-day Japan. This article discusses the film from two main perspectives: (1) how different musical styles operate as distinct elements of the soundtrack (drawing on and embellishing their source contexts and traditions); and (2) ho

Abstract: This study examines the narrations of 13 Okinawan women who arrived in Argentina in the 1950s and 1960s through oral history and document analysis. It determines how women's perceptions of their formative wartime and migration experiences can testify to the gendered impact of these events on their experiences and the multifaceted agency of women in dealing with these memories. The narrators indicate the tension between expected roles of femininity and women's new ideas and how the past shaped their relationship with Okinawa and Japan in terms of diasporic identity.

Abstract:

One of the key characteristics of recent Japanese grassroots civic activism is the number of individual citizens who began to go out on the streets to participate in public demonstrations. In many places around Japan, people who used to be seen as ‘apolitical,’ such as youth, office workers (so-called salary-men and salary-women) and other individuals, now join and lead public demonstrations that address a range of pressing social issues and problems, including nuclear energy, workplace harassment and constitutional change.

Abstract This study examines processes through which social personae are conveyed by male Japanese students at a public university in Yokohama. Focusing on the frame-setting function of first person pronominals (FPPs) in contexts where there is no intra/inter speaker variation in the choice of FPP, this paper analyzes how speakers manage identity-associated discursive alignments related to a shared Okinawa prefecture background. The common experience of being from Okinawa prefecture and attending university far from home is the primary reason that these speakers are close friends. However, ana

Abstract:

The Yasukuni shrine is a rich focal point for myth-making, by the shrine's supporters as well as its critics. In the following essay, Mark Selden examines the reciprocal action of war memory and nationalism at Yasukuni, placing the distinctive features of the shrine as a religious focal point for national identity in the context of broader trends in twentieth- and twenty-first-century nationalisms. As he notes, the “alchemy” by which the horrors of war are transformed into memories of a glorious past represents a central feature, not only of the Yasukuni shrine, but of war memorials the world

Abstract:

In this article, I argue against the widely accepted view among Japanese historians that the Ryukyu Kingdom of early modern times belonged to the Japanese bakuhan system while retaining its status as a foreign country. Placing Ryukyu within the bakuhan framework corresponds with the deterministic narrative of history that justifies Japan’s annexation of Ryukyu on one side, and Okinawan people’s choice of Japanese identity on the other. The claim of “foreign country inside the bakuhan system” is difficult to defend in light of theories of state that emphasize the importance of the interaction b

Abstract:

Okinawa Prefecture takes a special place among Japan’s regions. Until the 19th century, its territory was occupied by the Kingdom of Ryukyu, which was dependent on and influenced by both Japan and China. In 1879, it was incorporated into the Japanese Empire and for a long time was a de-facto colony. In 1945, the island of Okinawa became the arena of fierce ground fighting, which claimed the lives of almost 200,000 people.

Abstract:

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Many rare island endemic bats are highly threatened but poorly studied, due partly to the difficulty of capturing them. We used acoustic lures playing synthesised bat social calls on Okinawa Island, Japan, to improve capture success for two of the country's most endangered endemic bats: the Ryukyu tube-nosed bat (Murina ryukyuana) and Yanbaru whiskered bat (Myotis yanbarensis). First, we systematically tested the effectiveness of acoustic lures in a paired trial. Acoustic lures increased M. ryukyuana capture rates ten-fold. A sequence of stimu

Abstract:

The enigmatic ‘y-larvae’ (Thecostraca: Facetotecta) are microscopic marine planktonic crustaceans that were discovered more than a century ago, yet to this day their adults remain unknown. Despite occurring locally in large diversities, and therefore presumably being of ecological importance, only 17 species have been described globally, rendering it practically impossible to identify any y-larval specimen from any locality. The fact that species have been based on different life stages (nauplii and/or cyprids) further hampers identification. Y-larvae include many forms with planktotrophic (fe

Abstract:

Terrestrial cyanobacteria are extremely diverse. In urban areas, they can be found as black stains on the surface of building walls, stone monuments, or man-made structures. Many of the terrestrial cyanobacteria are still understudied. To expand knowledge of terrestrial cyanobacterial diversity, a polyphasic characterization was performed to identify 12 strains isolated from campus of University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa, Japan. Multigene phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region showed that the isolated strains formed two independent
