The Early Works of Natsume Soseki’s Chinese Poetry : Focusing on the Scenic Descriptive Expression : Chapter II, Section 4 （Continued）
Get PDFIn this paper, I will focus on Soseki’s Chinese poems before studying in the Western and consider its scenic descriptive expression. I discuss about the color expression in the second chapter. In the first section, I have already explained the complementary color relationship between “red and green”, and in the second and third sections, I have explained “white”, which is the most frequent color type.From the previous article （Bulletin, No. 84）, as the fourth section, I will study the blue, which is the second most frequent after white. At that time, “Seizan （青山）”, which is the most compounded word that “blue” describes, was put on the subject of the discussion, and it was the cut end to study “blue” in Soseki poetry.Firstly, the motif of “Seizan （青山）” was roughly divided into three types. （1） The object of natural beauty, （2） The topos of cloistered appeal, and （3） the place of burial. （1） and （2） have already been discussed in No. 84, and this paper is a discussion on （3）.As discussed in （2）, “Seizan （青山）” in Soseki’s poem often means “hometown”, but “hometown” has an element of burying the bones of ancestors since ancient times. Therefore, the meaning of “Seizan （青山）” as a graveyard is mediated by “hometown”, but both fact and fiction are included in Soseki’s feelings for “hometown”, and they are intricately refracted.While retroactively tracing the authorities related to the death of “Seizan （青山）,” I pointed out that his thoughts would also lead to his misanthropic view. The “Sorrow”, which is written in Soseki poetry until the end of the year of death, is expressed that in a straightforward manner, but the darkness of “blue”, which is opposed to “white” in brightness, benefits the expression of “sorrow”, furthermore argued that they would be leaded to death.Finally, I compared “Hekizan （碧山）” with “Seizan （青山）”. “Hekizan （碧山）” is almost synonymous with “Seizan （青山）”, but it has more religious mystery than “Seizan （青山）”’s supernatural nature. For Soseki, who was revived from “30 minutes of death” during the period of Izu’s great illness, it was regarded as sacred mountain, a symbol of immortality.Furthermore, it was pointed out that Soseki’s favor for “Heki （碧）” is recognized, but that there may be a more beautiful aesthetic meaning than “the mere of the blue”, which is “The beauty of blue”, and the influence of Zen Buddhism that “Hekigan （碧巖）” has. It can be said that Soseki recognized the fundamental meaning of existence, so-called “the power of color,” which is not just a superficial beauty in color
Why Fiscal Reform Makes no Progress in Japan
Get PDFWe use the Overlapping Generations Model with intergenerational heterogeneity to analyze the preferred form of taxation to achieve the fiscal reform necessary to maintain fiscal sustainability in Japan. We assumed two forms of taxation, i.e. the consumption tax increase or the progressive labor income tax increase, and used utility criteria and the existing voting system for our analysis. The results showed that support for a consumption tax increase is limited to the upper income bracket in generations younger than middle-age, rendering implementation of the fiscal reform policy impossible. Thus, we assumed a utilitarian government and confirmed that the consumption tax increase option would be favored in a case in which the sum of utility changes in all the people alive in the year fiscal reform is launched. However, a utilitarian government is equivalent to forcing other income groups to make sacrifices solely for the benefit of the high-income group and calls into doubt whether such a choice is fair

Get PDFThe Love-is-Blind Bias in Romantic Relationships
Get PDF本研究では，恋は盲目バイアスについて日本人サンプルを用いて追試研究を行った。その結果，現在の交際相手は過去の交際相手よりも魅力が高いと評定されること，現在の恋愛は過去の恋愛に比べて質的に素晴らしいと思われること，自分たちのカップルは友人のカップルや一般のカップルよりも幸せであると思われることが示された。また，新しい知見としてこのバイアスは男性でより生じやすいということが示された。A replication study was conducted on the love-is-blind bias using a Japanese sample. The results showed that current partners were rated as more attractive than past partners, that current relationships were perceived as qualitatively better than past relationships, and that their own couples were perceived as happier than their friendsʼ couples and couples in general. A new finding showed that such bias was greater in males
The process of changing the image of the elderly through family transformation and social policy
Get PDF高齢化問題として，高齢者個人の問題と社会の問題という二つの角度から検討されてきた。前者は，本人の老化や病気，独居，老後不安，老人扶養，老人ホームといった高齢者個人の生活問題として捉えられた。いっぽう後者は，社会保障や年金問題，社会的な扶養問題，労働力不足問題として考察された。二つの角度から取り組まれた対策・政策によって，社会の高齢者観や高齢者自身が考える高齢者像は大きく変容した。もっとも顕著に影響したのが社会保障制度であった。成人した子どもと老親の分離を意味する核家族化の進行と人口高齢化を背景にして高齢者ニーズを満たすための制度がつくられてきた。身体面では，健康保険制度，介護保険制度，経済面では，年金制度，雇用面では高年齢者雇用安定法による雇用の延長など各種高齢者支援制度が導入された。これら支援制度により高齢者の自立意識や経済的・健康的な環境が向上し，これまでと異なった高齢者観や新たな高齢者像が創り出されることになった。そのため，社会全体がこれまでの高齢者に対する価値観や認識で，高齢者を捉えることは難しい。新たな高齢者像に沿った対応が必要であり，適度な人口減による人手不足と低成長経済のもとでは新たな高齢者像の相応しいあり方を探求し，高齢者の活用を図る必要がある
