Letter from Setsuo Horita to Toshiko Horita
No full textA letter from Setsuo Horita to his sister, Toshiko Horita. He recounts receiving a baseball batt and ball from their father, Chitoshi, as well as going to Japanese school.The Horita Family Papers (1940-2010, undated) collection contains documents from the Horita family, a Japanese American family from the Los Angeles area. The collection focuses on married couple Chitoshi "Harry" Horita (1896-1990) and Marue Nakashima Horita (1901-1982) and their extended family and includes records of the family's incarceration at the Poston (Colorado River) incarceration camp, research into the family's history, photographs, and correspondence
Brownian sheet and reflectionless potentials
No full textIn this paper, the investigation into stochastic calculus related with the KdV equation, which was initiated by S. Kotani [Construction of KdV-flow on generalized reflectionless potentials, preprint, November 2003] and made in succession by N. Ikeda and the author [Quadratic Wiener functionals, Kalman-Bucy filters, and the KdV equation, Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics, vol. 41, pp. 167-187] and S. Taniguchi [On Wiener functionals of order 2 associated with soliton solutions of the KdV equation, J. Funct. Anal. 216 (2004) 212-229] is continued. Reflectionless potentials give important examples in the scattering theory and the study of the KdV equation; they are expressed concretely by their corresponding scattering data, and give a rise of solitons of the KdV equation. Ikeda and the author established a mapping [psi] of a family of probability measures on the one-dimensional Wiener space to the space [Xi]0 of reflectionless potentials. The mapping gives a probabilistic expression of reflectionless potential. In this paper, it will be shown that [psi] is bijective, and hence and [Xi]0 can be identified. The space [Xi]0 was extended to the one [Xi] of generalized reflectionless potentials, and was used by V. Marchenko to investigate the Cauchy problem for the KdV equation and by S. Kotani to construct KdV-flows. As an application of the identification of and [Xi]0 via [psi], taking advantage of the Brownian sheet, it will be seen that convergences of elements in realizes the extension of [Xi]0 to [Xi].Brownian sheet Reflectionless potential Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process
Where Are We Now and Where Should We Head for? A Reflection on the Place of East Asia on the Map of Socio-Legal Studies
No full textCollaborative Research Networks (“CRNs”) developed to encourage and facilitate and collaboration between scholars with shared academic interests. CRN33 (East Asia) is fairly new. This article, which is based on a speech given by the author, examines the status of East Asia in socioeconomic literature, explores the growing prevalence of East Asia as a topic in general theory-building in socio-legal studies, and suggests methods for placing East Asia in a more central position for future socio-legal scholarship. The author emphasizes that scholars in the field of East Asian legal studies should work harder to introduce those outside the field to the work being done on East Asia, and that part of this can be accomplished by engaging in theory-building inside the field. Scholars in the East Asia field ought to present works in terms of concepts and theories not bound by regional boundaries so that outside scholars can better recognize the relevance of our works to theirs. Scholars in the field should also seek to present our works to non-area specialists and try to expand their own group

Brownian sheet and reflectionless potentials

Kotani [Construction of KdV-flow on generalized reflectionless potentials, preprint, November 2003] and made in succession by N. Ikeda and the author [Quadratic Wiener functionals, Kalman–Bucy filters, and the KdV equation, Advanced Studies in Pure Mathematics, vol. 41, pp. 167–187] and S. Taniguchi [On Wiener functionals of order 2 associated with soliton solutions of the KdV equation, J. Funct. Anal. 216 (2004) 212–229] is continued. Reflectionless potentials give important examples in the scattering theory and the study of the KdV equation; they are expressed concretely by their corresponding scattering data, and give a rise of solitons of the KdV equation. Ikeda and the author established a mapping ψ of a family G0 of probability measures on the one-dimensional Wiener space to the space Ξ0 of reflectionless potentials. The mapping gives a probabilistic expression of reflectionless potential. In this paper, it will be shown that ψ is bijective, and hence G0 and Ξ0 can be identified. The space Ξ0 was extended to the one Ξ of generalized reflectionless potentials, and was used by V. Marchenko to investigate the Cauchy problem for the KdV equation and by S. Kotani to construct KdV-flows. As an application of the identification of G0 and Ξ0 via ψ, taking advantage of the Brownian sheet, it will be seen that convergences of elements in G0 realizes the extension of Ξ0 to Ξ
Taking Kawashima Seriously: A Review of Japanese Research on Japanese Legal Consciousness and Disputing Behavior
No full textThis paper discusses Japanese research on legal consciousness (ho-ishiki) and civil disputing. The author presents a recent explication of Takeyoshi Kawashima\u27s concept of legal consciousness as a cultural factor and also proposes to explore the possibility of treating it as an individual, attitudinal factor. He also reviews large-scale surveys of aggregate-level culture and studies on individual-level disputing behavior. The need and possibility of a longitudinal study of individual disputing behavior that uses individual-level attitudes and regional culture as explanatory variables is suggested
