Hasami ceramic from the view point of historical document - Focusing on “Kurawanka” in the 18th and 19th century -
Get PDFHasami-cho is located in the middle of Nagasaki Prefecture, northern part of Higashisonogi-gun, and is the only town in Nagasaki that does not have a coastline. Hasamicho,which belonged to the Omura-han has been mass-produced as a pottery production area since the early Edo period. Hasami-yaki has been developed as a ceramic industry along with Arita-yaki and Mikawachi-yaki through 400 years. Hasami has 36 series of climbing kilns and had not only made great achievements in spreading porcelain widely among the common people, but also been a great influence on Japanese pottery culture, especially “Kurawanka”. Kurawanka is one type of popular ceramics that have been used for a long time as decorations and tableware, and is one of the things that can be boasted as a traditional Japanese culture. Until the Edo period, ceramics were still out of reach for the common people, but Kurawanka was produced and sold in large quantities by Imari merchants in Edo and Osaka. Kurawanka had succeeded in inspiring a feeling of warmth and familiarity among the common people and played an important role in the traditional cuisine of Japan at that time
The Past and Present of Bat Trang Ceramic
Get PDFLocated on the outskirt of Hanoi, Bat Trang is well known for high-quality a traditional ceramic village. With regard to origins, there are many legends about the formation of the village. According to Complete Annals of Dai Viet, Bat Trang firstly appeared in 1352. On the other hand, according to the historical epic, people from Bo Bat Commune, Ninh Binh province settled in this land under Ly Dynasty (1010 - 1225). When King Ly Cong Uan relocated the capital in Thang Long, many businessmen, crafters from many areas go to settle
down there. Many potters came and built the kilns in Bat Trang because this village is located in an area rich in clay. Lying on the edge of the Red River, between Thang Long and Pho Hien which are two ancient trade centers in the north of Vietnam during 15th - 17th century, Bat Trang’s ceramics were favorite products not only in domestic market but also foreign ones thanks to Japan, Chinese and Western trading boats that passed by. However, in the 18th-19th century, the ceramic products couldn’t be exported to foreign countries because
of the restricting foreign trade policy of Trinh, Nguyen dynasty. Only since 1986, thanks to economic reforms and development, more attention has been vested in the village and the world gets a chance to know more about Vietnamese ceramics through impressive high quality exported ceramic products of Bat Trang. Nowadays, Bat Trang ceramic products are famous for not only in Vietnam but also in other countries in the world. The products of the villages has been exported to some countries like Japan, Korea, America,and members of European Union since 1990
Maternal and Child Health for Foreign Nationals in the Multicultural society of Japan.―Human Rights and Minority Health
Get PDFThe era of “International Migration” has arrived in Japan, where communities are becoming multicultural and multiethnic. Japanese society without mentioning the coexistence that brings the symbiosis of different people. It has become obvious that diverse people of different races, nationalities, backgrounds, cultures and languages have to live altogether in mutual respect. When we think of “Maternal and Child Health for Foreign Nationals in the Multicultural Society”, we ought to first think that without a sound, harmonious community, there is no way to secure the health of foreign residents. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the present situation of maternal and child health of foreign nationals in Japan, focusing on their reproductive health and human rights. These results show that the number of foreign residents and needs of reproductive health care are increasing. Female foreign residents could easily be considered in the high-risk group than that of Japanese due to many barriers such as language, systemic and psychological barriers. Health care providers must take it into account these social changes and prepare for it. In order to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Rights of Health enjoyable by everyone in Japan, there should be more efforts to get over those barriers, such as to promote multicultural understanding

Health-related quality of life in Japanese patients with prostate cancer following proton beam therapy: an institutional cohort study
Get PDFOBJECTIVE: Many treatment options have guaranteed long-term survival in patients with localized prostate cancer and health-related quality of life has become a greater concern for those patients. The purpose of this study was to reveal the health-related quality of life after proton beam therapy and to clarify the differences from other treatment modalities for prostate cancer. METHODS: Between January 2011 and April 2016, 583 patients were enrolled in the study and health-related quality of life outcomes using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite questionnaire were evaluated and compared with previous research targeted at Japanese patients. RESULTS: We found a significant decrease in the least square mean scores for urinary and bowel domains excluding the incontinence subscale after proton beam therapy (P < 0.0001) and recovery at a year following treatment. The scores for sexual function in patients without androgen deprivation therapy decreased each year after proton beam therapy (P < 0.0001). The scores for hormones in patients without androgen deprivation therapy remained high and those of patients with androgen deprivation therapy were lower before treatment but were comparable to those of non-androgen deprivation therapy patients at 2 years post-treatment. We found that the impact of radiotherapy including proton beam therapy on urinary condition and sexual function was lower than that of surgery. CONCLUSIONS: For the first time in Japan, we investigated health-related quality of life using Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite questionnaires in patients with prostate cancer after proton beam therapy and compared it with other treatment modalities
Femoral osteotomy to improve range of motion in residual deformity of perthes disease: A case report
Get PDFIntroduction: The treatment strategies for residual deformity of Perthes disease are not established. Case presentation: This is a case report of a 15-year-old boy. He developed right Perthes disease (lateral pillar classification group B) when he was 10 years old and underwent varus femoral osteotomy of the right side. At 12 years of age, he developed left Perthes disease (lateral pillar classification group B) and underwent varus femoral osteotomy of the left side. Postoperatively, he was treated with partial weight bearing of the left leg with crutches. At 15 years, range of motion (ROM) of his left hip was markedly limited at 30° flexion, 10° abduction, 70° external rotation, and −20° internal rotation, and he was having difficulty maintaining a sitting position. Diagnosis: Stulberg group V was noted on plain radiography. Computed tomography (CT) showed collapse of the load-bearing part of the femoral head on the coronal plane, but the ball-shape was maintained in the posterior femoral head on sagittal and transverse sections. Intervensinos: Valgus-flexion-internal rotation osteotomy was performed to improve ROM. Outcomes: Left hip ROM improved to 90° flexion, 20° abduction, 50° external rotation, and 40° internal rotation immediately after the surgery. He was able to sit 10 months postoperatively but was left with a limp and limited ROM in the left hip at 60° flexion. Chondroplasty was performed during the plate removal surgery at 10 months postoperatively, which improved hip flexion to 100° immediately after the surgery. The patient was left with limited ROM of 60° flexion of the left hip at the final observation. Conclusion: Femoral osteotomy to improve ROM could be an option for residual deformity of Perthes disease
