Historicizing Japan’s Little Ice Age through the Consolidation of Official Historiography
Additional Comments on “Testing a Culturally Adapted Colorectal Cancer Screening Decision Aid Among American Indians
To the Editor: We read the study by Frerichs et al.1 concerning a culturally sensitive colorectal cancer (CRC) screening decision aid campaign targeting American Indians (Native Americans) with great interest in light of the increase in CRC-related deaths worldwide.2 Culture is basically associated with environmental and lifestyle factors as well as health care access, all of which are related to the incidence of CRC.2 Therefore, adapting methods…
Correlating Post-disaster Support Network Density with Reciprocal Support Relation Satisfaction
Relational Satisfaction from Providing and Receiving Support is Associated with Reduced Post-Disaster Depression
Cross-Sectional Data Within 1 Year of the Fukushima Meltdown
Blackout Nippon
3/23 Shuzenji, Shizuoka, .0045 MicroSievertsI write this by candlelight. Interesting times. Reactor 3 of Fukushima 1 spewed black smoke of an unknown substance this afternoon. Tokyo reported elevated levels of cesium in tap water in excess of those recommended for infants and pregnant women. Same with spinach from Ibaraki, milk from Fukushima (no surprise there) and selected produce from Chiba
Morality, Patriotism, and Japan's New Curricular Guidelines
I respect the intention of Tawara Yoshifumi to alert the Japanese and international public to the designs of the nationalist right-wing on the Japanese school curriculum - with which designs I have no sympathy. However, the errors, exaggeration and misleading sensationalism in his article 'The Hearts of Children' (posted at Japan Focus on 25 August 2008) only serve ultimately to discredit liberal views on education, thus rebounding to the advanta…
The Hearts of Children
Foiled in their attempts to change the Constitution and Article Nine in particular by the cumbersome democratic process of public consensus, the militant nationalist wing of the political establishment has set its sights on education by creating a document operationalizing changes to the Basic Law in Education. The Curricular Guidelines issued last February are a set of policy directives of unclear legal status created by the government's General…
Little Citizens' and 'Star Pupils
Translator's Introduction: On 17 July, 2006, The Asahi Shinbun began a daily feature entitled Shashin ga Kataru Senso (The war as photos tell it) based on photos taken during World War II by the newspaper's cameramen. Stored in an Osaka warehouse during the Occupation, the photos are now being catalogued and stored digitally. Accompanying the introductory article was an explanatory statement: "The collection of 70,000 prints leaves behind an imme…
Hammering Down the Educational Nail
True to his word, Abe Shinzo is radically overhauling Japan's education system, the single most important item accompanying his attempt to revise the Constitution. In his basic policy speech to the Diet in 2006, the prime minister vowed to rewrite the Fundamental Law of Education, rebuild education and "nurture people who value their families, their communities, and their country." That makes his reform agenda the most ambitious since 1947, when …
Japan's Education Law Reform and the Hearts of Children
This conversation is adapted from a longer roundtable discussion on the social responsibility of poetry that appeared in the September issue of the literary monthly Shi to Shiso (Poetry and Thought). It features an analysis of the Abe administration's then-proposed "reforms" to the Education Law (Kyoiku Kihonho) by University of Chiba professor Miyake Shoko, with commentary from high school teacher and poet Yoshida Yoshiteru and poet Yamamoto Sei…
Japan in Iraq in Japan
In spring 2004, Shuzenji and three small Shizuoka Prefectural towns were consolidated into Izu City. Perhaps to celebrate, early this year City Hall distributed fancy calendars to the residents. Usually these are simple affairs from the agricultural cooperative with snapshots of local life - Mt Fuji landscapes, rice harvesting, the geta marathon, and the like. This year, however, someone decided to do one better: it was a glossy affair printed by…
Hashi-yan's Last Dispatch from Iraq
To go or not to go is the question. Our man Prime Minister Koizumi, just celebrating his 60th, states that decisions should be 'based on the situation, whether it is 'safe' or 'unsafe'. I, being over 60 myself, am at the same crossroads in a way. The difference is that our friend [Koizumi] will proceed if it is safe and will not if there is danger, whilst I take the opposite position. Koizumi in his wavy lionesque 'do', and me bald as an elephant…
