Anti-Semitism and Anti-Globalism in IMAIZUMI Genkichi’s Mikuni : What We Find in the Mikuni Special Issues of KAGAWA Toyohiko during World War Ⅱ
Get PDFThe Mikuni , a magazine of Christianity made-in-Japan, had three special issues of KAGAWA Toyohiko in 1942, about one year after the Pearl Harbor attack. KAGAWA was a prominent, worldly well-known Christian before, during and after World War II. The Mikuni gradually drifted from its Christian faith and landed on the strong, militaryoriented patriotism, the ideology which dominated Japan in the 1930s and the first half of the 1940s. The Mikuni writers criticized KAGAWA harshly, using strong words of Anti-Semitism. In this paper, the author argues that the Mikuni writers accused globally minded KAGAWA because they believed that the globalism was a trap carefully placed by the Jews, waging in the Japanese territory and smashing its traditions. To the Mikuni , World War II had to be fought not only to defend sacred Japan against the Jewish globalism but also to start a new one which would be led not by the Jews but by the Japanese. As the war ended, however, this dream of theirs also ended. In order not for the history to repeat, we must revisit and learn from the past, which should be one of the keys to open up peace to our future.departmental bulletin pape
A Study of the Basic Meaning and Sematic Extension of Chinese “Kou” and “Zui”
Get PDFThis paper uses concepts such as “metaphor” and “metonymy” from the perspective of cognitive linguistics to discuss the semantic expansion of the noun “mouth” in modern Chinese, and analyzes its cognitive mechanism. The paper discusses Metonymic and metaphorical extensions, where the semantic extension is based on the image schema of a “container”. The body part noun “mouth” is extended metonymically from its basic meaning, and metaphorically from the image schema of “container” in regards to “open/close”, “ eating behavior”, “verbal behavior”, “verbal expression”, and “object part”. These semantic extensions are also relevant when “mouth” is used as both a nominal classifier and a verbal classifier. When used as a nominal classifier, differences from other body part nouns used as classifiers, are also noted.departmental bulletin pape

Mikuni as a Christianity Made in Japan : its anti-Semitism and the persecution of Japanese Christians in the early Showa era
Get PDFAfter 1873, when Christianity became legal in Japan, Christian beliefs began spreading all over the nation. As syncretization being one of the Japanese cultural characteristics, some Japanese tried to grasp Christianity in the Japanese context and established their made-in-Japan Christianity. Imaizumi Genkichi’s Mikuni movement was one of them. Mikuni activists published their monthly Mikuni magazines from 1935 to 1943 with Imaizumi as its chief editor. The Mikuni , born out of an intercultural turmoil between a foreign religion and Japanese traditional ideas, was right-wing in its opinions, actively pro-war, and riddled with anti-Jewish remarks. This anti-Semite attitude was seen not only in the Mikuni but also in non-Christian Japanese during that period. In this paper, the author tries to argue that the anti-Semitism in Japan of the early Showa era, which probably influenced the Mikuni , should be one of the reasons why Japanese Christians were persecuted and controlled by the Japanese government in the 1930s and 40s. Due to the limited number of pages, this introductory paper mainly outlines the Japanese-ness, made-in-Japan Christianity, and the Anti-Semite movement around the world including Japan and the Mikuni , leaving the details of the anti-Semitism in the Mikuni to another paper following this current one.departmental bulletin pape
A Study of Tourism-Based Community Design And Locality Tour Guide(1)Activities of "Tomonoura Shiomachi Guide"
Get PDFWe gave an overview of the role that tourism volunteer guides play in tourism town development and investigated and verified the efforts of tourism volunteer guides in the Tomonoura district of Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Pref. The human resources who are responsible for the tourism volunteer guide in the Tomonoura area are not limited to residents in the Tomonoura area but are considered to refer to Fukuyama citizens or people who love Tomonoura. Of the tourist destinations that use natural heritage and historical heritage a s resources, the areas where corporate capital has not been invested are heavily burdened by the local community. It can be said that the expansion of tourism volunteers by "deemed" Tomo district residents, as seen in the Tomo district, has implications for other tourism town development.departmental bulletin pape
