Asian Perceptions of Nature
Charlotte Coté
Environmental Movements in Asia
Conservation of natural resources or their sustainable use has often been regarded as characteristic of many traditional Asian cultures. Nonetheless, Asia has a long history of environmental degradation and its fair share of natural disasters. This volume paints a general picture of the Asian situation, backing it up with several case studies. Two major points are made in this general picture. The first is that environmental campaigns in Asia ten…

Om holdninger og handlingermed hensyn til naturen
Holism and Sustainability
It is often claimed that environmental problems facing the world today can be attributed to dualism and anthropocentrism rooted in Christianity. Hence, it is argued that a solution to these problems can be sought in holism and ecocentrism inherent in non-western thought. Native American and Asian religions have in particular been heralded as potential sources of inspiration. Using Japan as a case, this paper challenges this view, arguing that rel…

Commons in a Cold Climate. Coastal Fisheries and Reindeer Pastoralism in North Norway
Houses, People and Good Fortune
The paper seeks to analyse Japanese vernacular architecture in terms of geomancy. There is a widely held belief that the orientation and shape of the house, as well as the location of the various rooms and objects (e.g. altars, water basins, stoves) therein, have profound impact on the wellbeing of its residents. The main features of the geomantic compass are outlined, and it is argued that the northwest-southeast and northeast-southwest axes are…
Fishing Villages in Tokugawa Japan
This is the first full-length presentation of Japan's pre-industrial fishing culture and a careful application of anthropological method to historical research. Shows that Tokugawa Japan's fishing villages were critical to Japan's economic development, being key links between towns and farming communities

Fishing Villages in Tokugawa Japan
Geomancy and Town Planning in a Japanese Community
This article analyzes the layout of a Japanese community in terms of geomancy; i.e., how the village is structured in order to harness the flow of vital energy (ki in Japanese; ch'i in Chinese) created by the interaction of yin and yang forces and the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) to the mutual benefit of its inhabitants and the environment. Geomancy has widely been used in East Asia to interpret natural phenomena and, as po…

Japanese Whaling
Management by Totemization
The anti-whaling campaign has been with us for about two decades by now, and - not surprisingly - the arguments against whaling have changed during these years. The ecological argument that the whales are endangered is losing ground as it becomes clear that the stocks of some species of whales can sustain regulated harvest. Therefore, during the last few years more and more people have argued whaling on moral and ethical grounds. Whales have come…

Famine and Population in Fukuoka Domain during the Tokugawa Period
Shingu, A Study of a Japanese Fishing Community
From being an important centre which attracted a large number of merchants during the feudal period, Shingū, on the northern shores of Kyushu is today a suburb of Fukuoka City. Fishing is a slowly-dying occupation and this volume analyses how the fishermen adjust to changing circumstances. Although Japan is the largest fishing nation in the world, when originally published this book was the first to be published in English which focussed on the c…
