Formation of local identity through the adaptation of hula in Fukushima, Japan
Japanese people have engaged with foreign performing arts in diverse ways, often creating hybrid styles and assigning them new meanings and functions. The Hawaiian dance tradition of hula as adapted in Fukushima, however, differs from many other examples in that it has become closely tied to the region’s local identity. Hula in Fukushima dates back to 1966, when a resort facility featuring ‘hula girls’ opened in Iwaki City. Local young women trai…
Naniwa-bushi in Hawai‘i
浪花節は19世紀末から20世紀半ばに大衆的な人気を誇った日本の音楽的な語りのジャンルである。日本人労働移民によってハワイにもたらされ、後には日本の浪曲師がハワイ巡業を行うようになり、ハワイの日系社会でも人気を確立した。本論はハワイにおける浪花節の盛衰をたどり、移植された音楽ジャンルが日本と日系ディアスポラの文化的架け橋として機能し、いかにハワイ日系人のアイデンティティの支えとなっていたか、また国境を超えた人々と文化の往来を促していたかを明らかにする。また戦争という不可抗力によって、いかに音楽文化の運命が翻弄されうるかを描き出す。 Naniwa-bushi is a genre of Japanese musical storytelling which enjoyed its greatest popularity from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Brought to Hawai‘i by Japanese i…

For the internees, music was an important means for creating hope, cohesion, resistance, and a sense of identity, yet for the camp authorities, the same music was understood to b…
Looking Both Ways
GI songs orshinchū-gun songuin Japanese are legacies of the U.S. occupation of Japan, which started in 1945 with Japan's defeat in the Pacific War. Although the occupation officially ended in 1952, many American soldiers continued to arrive and remained in Japan even after 1952. This was due to the outbreak of the Korean War (1950-53), which made Japan America's advance base. GI songs generally refer to compositions addressed to American soldiers…
