Art and the Brain
This issue of the journal developed from interest generated around a conference held in Cambridge entitled Art and the Brain, which examined how human neurophysiological capacities are exemplified by early art. This is a theme of great interest today, with attention focused on the ability to produce art as one of the defining characteristics of fully modern human beings, since their emergence in Africa 100,000 years ago, and the desire to underst…
The Great East Japan Earthquake and cultural heritage
The earthquake that struck Japan on 11 March 2011, named the Great East Japan Earthquake by the Japanese government, was one of the largest seismic events the world has seen for generations. Akira Matsui reported his experience of visiting the areas devastated by the earthquake and tsunami soon afterwards, outlining the initial assessment of damage caused to museums and cultural heritage assets, and the plans for their rescue (Kaner et a/ 2011; M…
Reassessing the concept of the 'Neolithic' in the Jomon of Western Japan
The concept of the Mesolithic/Neolithic transition is difficult to apply in the Japanese archipelago. The earliest pottery usage occurs in late Palaeolithic contexts. Holocene foragers lived in stable, permanent village settlements and constructed large scale monuments, and the first real 'agriculture' arrived as part of a cultural package which also included metallurgy. This paper will examine the use of the term 'Neolithic' in the history of Ja…
Trouble in the Japanese Lower and Middle Palaeolithic
The debate about the occupation of the Japanese archipelago before 30,000 years ago was apparently resolved with the discovery and investigation of a series of sites in north eastern Japan such as Babadan A and latterly Kamitakamori, which seemed to provide securely dated contexts for hominid activity dating to before 500,000 years ago. These discoveries were thrown into doubt when one of the major protagonists in the debate was discovered planti…

Multicultural Japan
This book challenges the conventional view of Japanese society as monocultural and homogenous. Unique for its historical breadth and interdisciplinary orientation, Multicultural Japan ranges from prehistory to the present, arguing that cultural diversity has always existed in Japan. A timely and provocative discussion of identity politics regarding the question of 'Japaneseness', the book traces the origins of the Japanese, examining Japan's indi…
