Kaibara Ekiken’s “Chinese-Character Standard for Daily Life”: Formation and Significance
This paper examines the development of Kaibara Ekiken's (1630–1714) approach to dealing with Chinese characters. It focuses on his concept of a "Chinese-Character Standard for Daily Life." In his early career, Ekiken followed Neo-Confucian conventions strictly. He made a clear distinction between standard and variant characters. In later life, he became more tolerant. He accepted Japanese-made kanji and common folk forms. This paper analyzes texts such as Wajiga, Zoku Wakan Meisū, Senjiruigō, and Yamato Honzō. It indicates how Ekiken selected characters with consideration for his readers. The paper argues that he was trying to build a Chinese-Character Writing Standard in order to promote daily literacy in the Genroku era of early modern Japan.departmental bulletin pape
Considering the New Normal in a Post-Corona Society through Data and Literature
This essay examines how the concept of the “new normal” has evolved post-COVID-19 using data and literature analysis. Initially, the new normal referred to infection control measures, but by 2025, it has expanded to include the rise of remote work, digital transformation, and structural shifts in society. Additionally, the essay analyzes the trends of international students in Japan based on data from JASSO and Project Atlas, revealing differences in data collection methods and their implications. While Japan’s inbound student numbers show signs of recovery, challenges remain in job placement and campus globalization. The study highlights the strict enrollment regulations in Japanese universities and their impact on international students. Moving forward, the paper emphasizes the need for policy adjustments, support for international graduates, and data transparency to promote a sustainable global education environment in the new normal era.Essaydepartmental bulletin pape
Screening for specific marker molecules of peptides that bind to undifferentiated nerve cells
論文P19 cells, which are pluripotent stem cells of mouse teratocarcinoma, and PC12 cells derived from mouse adrenal medulla were used. When treated with retinoic acid, P19 cells can be differentiated along a neural cell lineage in culture. To isolate peptides that bind to the stem cell, we employed phage display technology with undifferentiated P19 cells as the target. It has been demonstrated that undifferentiated P19 cells bind specifically to peptides presented by phage display or chemically produced by solid phase synthesis. Protein separation experiments and chromatography were performed using undifferentiated P19 cells and undifferentiated PC12 cells as model cells for somatic stem cells.departmental bulletin pape
