Shin-hanga and Sosaku-hanga
No full textabstract: The early to mid 20th century saw the rise of two woodblock print movements, shin-hanga and sosaku-hanga. Both movements involved changes in style and production in a time of changing landscapes and tastes. Increased industrialization and greater international contact impacted both movements, while an awareness of a market abroad and embracing modern art sensibilities defined shin- hanga and sosaku-hanga respectively. Ten prints by 6 sosaku-hanga artists and 4 shin-hanga artists demonstrate the conventions and variations of their respective styles. A close analysis of two prints applies the history of Japan and printmaking to two prints from different movements. A catalogue of all ten prints provides a brief overview of works in relation to their historical influences. Comparisons with the ukiyo-e prints from earlier Japan create a greater understanding of the shin-hanga prints discussed, while the lives of the artists themselves help elucidate readings of sosaku-hanga prints. Analyzing the work of sosaku-hanga artist Shiko Munakata demonstrates the tension that results from the combination of modern art and traditional craft that inform the perspectives of artists in that movement. A print by Takahashi Shotei reveals shin-hanga's approach to portraying modernizing Japan. Both movements addressed changes in Japanese society and formed relationships with the international art community
Reviewing its self image and redefining its role as a regional power : contemporary Japan and international population movement
No full textWhat sort of change in policy may be possible if a state reviewed its structural conditions and the significance of its own power with regard to other actors in international relations? This paper asks this question with regard to contemporary Japan’s policy towards an issue arising
from the arrival of migrants in post-Cold War years, in particular whether to provide safety to migrants within the country. Japan used to be ‘a country without migration’ until the 1970s, but from the 1980s onwards has been in transition to be a key destination for international population movement (IPM). This paper surveys the literature on Japan’s international
relations, examines theories of IPM, and describes the history of modern Japan focusing particular attention on its experiences of international migration. If Japan did not provide a safe environment for migrants, that would be questionable as being a differential form of
treatment. What obstructs the provision of safety is a world view informed by an atomistic view of international relations and an understanding of history which is only focused on a limited time period. In contrast, what can contribute to reducing such a barrier will be a
combination of natural law thinking, a relational view of international relations, an understanding of history with a time frame over several decades, and a recognition that current IPM is a reflection of Japan’s economic power in the neighbouring regio
[[alternative]]A Study on History of Shin-Wu Elementary School at Tao-Yuan（1905-2003）
No full text[[abstract]]To explore the school cultural development in Shin-Wu Elementary school in the last hundred years and the significance of school history research in educational history, this study examines documents and files in the school history room of Shin-Wu Elementary school and has oral history interviews as well. The main findings of this study are as follows.
1. In late Meiji, most of the teachers were Japanese or Taiwanese from the nearby common schools, however, the turnover was high. At that time, only affluent students attended schools while later, more students were from poor families. Yet, the drop-out rate was relatively high.
2. As for the age, most students went to school in their teens, for they had to share responsibilities in home chores.
3. In Taisyo period, there were more and more teachers who had been Shin-Wu graduates and students were from different sources.
4. Owing to the air raid during the war, schools got closed very often and the content of education was mainly about laboring.
5. Post-war education, compared with that before, varied little in educational contents and forms because of the position-retaining teachers and staff.
6. For the last hundred years, nearly one-third of Shin-Wu teachers were their graduates and principals and teachers of branch schools came form Shin-Wu Elementary School, too. Therefore, Shin-Wu Elementary School had played an influential role in the elementary education and the local people cultivation in Shin-Wu area.
7. Shin-Wu Elementary School had always followed the national educational policy, seldom did they have local standpoints, which meant, they had to strengthen their autonomy and capacity when faced with new challenges especially after the lifting of Martial Law.
8. Through elaborative school cultural analysis, relationship among education, politics, economy and society, in particular, individual area development will be more carefully investigated.
