A Flow of Christian Images from the Shanghai Jesuits to the Paris Foreign Missions in Japan
The Jesuit Adolphe Vasseur created more than 160 woodblock prints at the orphanage of T’ou-se-we in Shanghai, China, combining Western images of biblical stories with traditional Chinese styles and symbols, aiming to help familiarize the Chinese people with Christian concepts. Vasseur’s images were adopted and transformed through lithographic publications and woodblock prints by the Paris Foreign Missions ( mep ) in Japan from the 1860s to the 18…

Tōhoku
In March 2011 Japan's Tōhoku region was devastated by a massive earthquake and tsunami. This was another blow to an area that has been dogged by hardships throughout Japanese history. Beginning in the middle of the 19th century, modern Japan, in its quest to form a nation-state, situated Tōhoku on the periphery and emphasised the region's alleged backwardness. By examining how Tōhoku has been perceived and constructed through this lens across the…
Environmental Culture and World Heritage in Pacific Japan
Japan's Ogasawara (or Bonin) Islands (Ogasawara shotou), dubbed 'the 'Galapagos of the East', are a group of oceanic islands situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Among those destructive factors, a plan to build a commercial airport was the most controversial and divided the comm…
The Anti-Japanese Resistance War, Chinese Patriotism and Free Speech. How Can We Forgive Japan
The Resistance War of 1937-1945 is the centerpiece of contemporary Chinese nationalism and contention over war memory has long exacerbated China-Japan frictions. The present blogged article by the dissident Christian writer Yu Jie, building on an earlier statement by literary critic Ge Hongbing, is both a rare challenge to the Chinese Communist Party's nationalist orthodoxy on the war by a China-based author, and a plea for Chinese reconciliation…
Coming to terms with nature
Japan's Ogasawara (or Bonin) Islands are a site from which to observe the changing Japanese balance between bio-diversity and single-minded development, between the desire to save native species and the desire to satisfy human convenience, and between the modesty and creativity of local peoples and the arrogance and insensitivity bred of massive public works funding. This paper looks at the history of natural environment, the process of human set…
