Nineteenth-century Japanese and British science in context
This special issue focuses on the complex cultural connections between Japanese and British science in the nineteenth century. This was a period when intellectuals around the globe began to interact more intensively due to increased opportunities to travel and the growth in translations of important scientific works into many languages. This was also an era when, in the latter part of the century, Japanese intellectuals were searching for ways to…
The impact of British chemistry and physics upon Japanese science in the late nineteenth century
The Meiji period between 1868 and 1912, when the introduction of Western science into Japan started in earnest, was also the time when specialization became an increasingly pressing and complex issue in natural science, especially in Victorian Britain where specialization went hand in hand with ‘interconnectedness’ between various fields of study. This article examines the impact of this complicated situation surrounding ‘specialization’ in ninet…
Changes in Employment Structure and Net Migration between 2005 and 2020 in Japan's Peripheral Areas
本研究は,日本の周辺地域における就業構造と人口移動の関係を検討するものである。このため最初に,2005年以降の日本の産業別就業者数の変化の地域的特徴を明らかにした上で,山陰地方を事例として産業別就業者数の変化と転入・転出超過の関係を分析した。2005年以降の日本の就業構造は,東京・大阪を中心とする大都市圏,大都市圏を取り囲む国土の中心部,それら以外の周辺地域で異なる方向性の変化を呈しつつある。大都市圏では,知識集約型産業の構成比の上昇と,人口流入が呼応し,脱産業化社会における新たな就業構造が形成されつつある。大都市圏を取り囲む国土の中心部では,依然として製造業に強く依存した就業構造を維持しており,大都市圏との空間的分業のなかに位置付けられる。ただし,製造業就業者数の減少を反映し,緩慢な人口流出に直面している。一方で,山陰地方をはじめとする周辺地域においては,医療福祉が最多就業者数産業になった。とくに地域構造からみると,地域の中心都市と農村地域の両方で医療福祉が主就業産業となった点に特徴が…

The financialization of real estate in Japan
The term ‘financialization of real estate’ (FoRE) refers to the method of connecting financial markets with the geographical location of real estate assets. Therefore, the unevenness of regional development is closely tied to FoRE. In Japan, FoRE’s initial focus was Tokyo; however, the interest has recently spread to the periphery. This shift occurred owing to changes in investment actors and their strategies, which also changed the impact of the…
Eurasian Encounters
Cross-National Odyssey of a Chemist
How can historians make sense of career of a scientist like Edward Divers (1837-1912)? He attended Royal College of Chemistry (RCC) in London, England, worked as a chemistry assistant and medical student at Queen's College Galway (QCG), Ireland, and taught chemistry in Tokyo at a couple of Japanese colleges for more than two decades. The easiest way would be to focus on one site of science most known to them, in this case unquestionably London an…

Hybridity and the Oriental Orientalism of Mingei Theory
Orientalism is not a rigid one-way phenomenon projected on to the Orient from the Occident. It is an infectious phenomenon, open to appropriation by ‘others’, at least in the case of modern Japan. This article presents a case study of Mingei (folk crafts) theory created by Yanagi Sôetsu and evaluated in the Occident as an ‘Oriental’ theory for what is deemed to be its greatest merit—‘traditional authenticity’. The intention of this article is fir…
