Abstract:

With the rapid development of the information age, the forms of architecture diversify. Origami, the ancient type of art provides us with infinite source of inspiration. This paper is trying to analyze the beauty of line, strength and space of Masahiro Chatani’s architectural origami, a great Japanese artist, and elaborate the influence of origami on modern architecture. When enjoying the visual feast brought by Masahiro Chatani’s architectural origami, we can get some inspiration from it. Besides architecture, the art of origami is also applied to other modeling designs. Origami is not limited to tow-dimensional plane any more, but expands in three-dimensional space, which is the embodiment of the wisdom of human.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to examine the Japanese elderly consumer sensitivity to corporate social performance (CSP) and how this sensitivity influences their everyday consumption. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a mixed method research approach, which was organised into two sequential stages: a survey (N = 199) and two focus group investigations (N = 16). Findings The study found that married, aged and high-income-earning consumers who have a higher media exposure to CSP information show high sensitivity towards CSP. The focus groups revealed that the elderly consumers have a myopic view of CSP which is subjected to context-specific factors relating to CSP of Japanese firms. Showing a high level of tolerance towards the firms with adverse CSP records, the elderly consumers tend to make their consumption decisions based on personal benefits, as opposed to CSP records of the firms. The focus groups’ findings are organised into four thematic categories. Practical implications The study highlights the predictability of consumer sensitivity to CSP using demographic factors. The practitioners targeting elderly consumers using CSP programmes should design them with a focus on social issues, including gender equality, employment opportunities for the disabled and new employment opportunities, as they constitute CSP sensitivities among elderly consumers. Originality/value Studies on consumers’ perceptions towards CSP in Japan are scarce. Specifically, studies aimed at the elderly consumer segment of the Japanese society are limited. Therefore, this study endeavours to bridge this gap by exploring the Japanese elderly consumer sensitivity to CSP and its role in everyday consumption practices.

Abstract:

The primate brain is equipped with prefrontal circuits for interpreting visual information, but how these circuits deal with competing stimulus-response (S-R) associations remains unknown. Here we show different types of responses to task-irrelevant visual features in three functionally dissociated groups of primate prefrontal neurons. Two Japanese macaques participated in a go/no-go task in which they had to discriminate either the color or the motion direction of a visual target to make a correct manual response. Prior to the experiment, the monkeys had been trained extensively so that they acquired fixed associations between visual features and required responses (e.g., “green = go”; “downward motion = no-go”). In this design, the monkey was confronted with a visual target from which it had to extract relevant information (e.g., color in the color-discrimination condition) while ignoring irrelevant information (e.g., motion direction in the color-discrimination condition). We recorded from 436 task-related prefrontal neurons while the monkey performed the multidimensional go/no-go task: 139 (32%) neurons showed go/no-go discrimination based on color as well as motion direction (“integration cells”); 192 neurons (44%) showed go/no-go discrimination only based on color (“color-feature cells”); and 105 neurons (24%) showed go/no-go discrimination only based on motion direction (“motion-feature cells”). Overall, however, 162 neurons (37%) were influenced by irrelevant information: 53 neurons (38%) among integration cells, 71 neurons (37%) among color-feature cells, and 38 neurons (36%) among motion-feature cells. Across all types of neurons, the response to an irrelevant feature was positively correlated with the response to the same feature when it was relevant, indicating that the influence from irrelevant information is a residual from S-R associations that are relevant in a different context. Temporal and anatomical differences among integration, color-feature and motion-feature cells suggested a sequential mode of information processing in prefrontal cortex, with integration cells situated toward the output of the decision-making process. In these cells, the response to irrelevant information appears as a congruency effect, with better go/no-go discrimination when both the relevant and irrelevant feature are associated with the same response than when they are associated with different responses. This congruency effect could be the result of the combined input from color- and motion-feature cells. Thus these data suggest that irrelevant features lead to partial activation of neurons even toward the output of the decision-making process in primate prefrontal cortex.

Abstract:

For a long time, Japanese cinema has been developing separately, mastering the specifics of the new art, which came from the West, and at the same time trying to solve within its framework the problem of "national identity". However, since the 1950s, Japanese cinema has become widely known abroad and is gaining recognition in the West. The present day no one doubts the huge contribution of Japanese filmmakers to the history of world cinema. Nevertheless, the study of Japanese cinema in Russian cinema theory still remains the prerogative of a few professionals who know the Japanese language and are closely acquainted with the Japanese mentality, culture and art, which exert a great influence on the artistic features of Japanese screen art. But in order to even more imbued with the originality of the approach to creating an artistic image in Japanese cinema, it is necessary to draw attention to one of the most important components of its structure, namely, the sound aspect, insufficiently studied in film theory. The novelty of the article is that it analyzes and classifies the sound features of some Japanese movies created in the second half of the 20th - beginning of the 21st centuries, in which the influence of traditional culture manifests itself quite clearly, but at the same time the presence of elements of the Western musical tradition is also noticeable, which reflects to a certain extent the process of transculturalism in cinema that is actual nowadays.

Abstract:

Purpose – Recent discussions of value-in-use from the perspective of service dominant logic have focused on the customer’s determination of value and control of the value creation process. The purpose of this paper is to extend these discussions by exploring the value creation process in the Japanese tea ceremony and in the kaiseki ryori style of Japanese cuisine, which is based on the Japanese tea ceremony. Design/methodology/approach – A historical analysis is used to describe the history of the Japanese tea ceremony in Japan and its influence on Japanese culture. key principles underlying the Japanese tea ceremony and their relationship to Zen Buddhism are summarized and the ways in which these principles are reflected in the service provided by Japanese restaurants are explored. Findings – The two elite restaurants examined in this analysis have designed their service experience to reflect four principles of the tea ceremony: the expression of seasonal feelings, the use of everyday items, ritualized social interactions, and the equality of host and guest. Given these principles, we argue that the tea ceremony and restaurants based on this ceremony imply a co-creation process that is different in three important ways from the process discussed in the co-creation literature. First, the tea ceremony involves dual experiential-value-creation processes. Both the master and the customer experience value-in-use during the delivery of kaiseki cuisine, and the value-in-use each receives is critically dependent on that received by the other. Second, the degree to which value-in-use is created for both parties (the customer and the master) depends on the master’s customization of the service experience based on his knowledge of the customer and that customer’s with the tea ceremony, kaiseki ryori cuisine and Japanese culture. Research limitations/implications – We hypothesize that the dual experiential-value-creation model is potentially relevant whenever the service process contains an element of artistic creation. Potential examples include concerts, recitals, theatre performances and art exhibitions, as well as more mundane situations in which the service provider derives value-in-use from aesthetic appreciations of the service provider’s art. Originality/value – Recent discussions of value co-creation argue that the customer controls the value creation process and the determination of value. The authors argue that the tea ceremony can serve as a metaphor for value co-creation in service contexts where the customer’s value creation process depends on the creation of value-in-use by the service provider.

Abstract:

Japanese and other Asian TV producers have been deploying multi-colored, and highly visible, intra-lingual captions on TV programs to enhance their appeal and to influence their viewers’ interpretations. The practice of adding these captions is far from innocent and is prone to abuse and overuse due to the lack of official guidelines and an evidence base. We conducted a multimodal analysis within the framework of relevance theory to provide an empirically supported insight into the way in which these captions, known as “telop” in Japan, form part of a production’s deliberate and careful media design. Our findings suggest that telop are deployed in conjunction with other communicative resources that are deliberately used to influence viewers’ interpretations, to enhance and make affective values in TV programs more explicit. The increasing use of diegetically integrated captions elsewhere further justifies the need for critical TV and new media research on telop.

Abstract:

Japanese well developed cultural and aesthetic styles have influenced architecture, décor and landscaping around the world. Japanese influence has been particularly marked in eastern Asian countries such as Taiwan, where the nation's colonisation efforts between 1895 and 1945 led to a trend for garden design and landscaping at the time to demonstrate strong characteristics of Japanese style. The gardens created during this time showed a unique blend of Japanese and Taiwanese influences not otherwise found in landscape architectural history. Associate Professor Takashi Awano, from the Department of Landscape Architecture Science at Tokyo University of Agriculture, leads a study that looks into the preservation status, the construction and design processes and the characteristics of land allocation and design of Japanese gardens in palaces, official residences and other key locations during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan

Abstract:

Abstract. The causal role of a unidirectional orthography in shaping speakers’ mental representations of time seems to be well established by many psychological experiments. However, the question of whether bidirectional writing systems in some languages can also produce such an impact on temporal cognition remains unresolved. To address this issue, the present study focused on Japanese and Taiwanese, both of which have a similar mix of texts written horizontally from left to right (HLR) and vertically from top to bottom (VTB). Two experiments were performed which recruited Japanese and Taiwanese speakers as participants. Experiment 1 used an explicit temporal arrangement design, and Experiment 2 measured implicit space-time associations in participants along the horizontal (left/right) and the vertical (up/down) axis. Converging evidence gathered from the two experiments demonstrate that neither Japanese speakers nor Taiwanese speakers aligned their vertical representations of time with the VTB writing orientation. Along the horizontal axis, only Japanese speakers encoded elapsing time into a left-to-right linear layout, which was commensurate with the HLR writing direction. Therefore, two distinct writing orientations of a language could not bring about two coexisting mental time lines. Possible theoretical implications underlying the findings are discussed.

Abstract:

The article (the end of the publication, beginning: No 1 (35), 2018) analyzes the sound features of Japanese motion pictures created in the second half of the 20th - beginning of the 21st centuries, on the example of the speech expressiveness of screen actors. The peculiarity of the acting game for a long time was one of the obstacles to understanding and accepting Japanese films by the Western audience. The approach of Japanese film actors to taking roles was based on traditions of the theatrical performance. However, theatrical techniques organically entered the artistic structure and became distinctive features of the genre of dzidaigaki (costume-historical film), especially loved by the audience. The main vehicle in the sound design of such films was the actor's speech using an ancient language, differing from modern Japanese by the presence of additional endings and pronouns. The mode of stylization of speech, associated with a special attention to detail, brings the audience closer to the time displayed on screen, adding realism in the perception of the screen event. The article presents stylistic, phonetic, semantic features of actor's speech in Japanese films not only in costume and historical genre, but also in fantasy and animation films. In the latter two genres, the onomatopoeia (sound imaging) plays an important role in creating the sound design of the film, which is so common in Japanese colloquial and written speech that can also be attributed to a peculiar Japanese cultural tradition. Analysis of sound designs of the Japanese films, including the use of onomatopoeia, is the novelty of the work presented. The articles topicality is that analyzing another view of the world can broaden the horizon of seeing a specific creative task that is not even related to the Japanese theme, while opening up new creative opportunities. In addition, the material of the article in some extent fills a gap in Russian cinema studies, related to the theme of sound in Japanese cinema.

Abstract:

This thesis analyzes the challenges technical writers face when designing documents for high-context cultures, such as the Japanese. When developing documents intended to cross cultural gulfs, technical writers must take into consideration cultural expectations, preferences, and practices in document design and communication. High-context cultures, such as Japan, design documents using drastically different design strategies than those used in the United States. Japanese communication habits are more ambiguous than communication in the United States. Thus, the Japanese often use visuals for their aesthetic appeal, not for their ability to complement the text that surrounds the visual. The ambiguous nature of high-context culture communication habits often pose problems when Americans try to communicate--whether through written or oral communication--with a high-context audience. Without careful analysis and research into these cultural implications, the technical writer risks developing unsuccessful documents that do not accomplish the goals of the communication. It takes years of research to understand cultural differences, especially in the case of Japanese communication habits. With the research presented in this thesis, technical writers will understand better how to address document design issues when designing for high-context cultures in general and the Japanese culture specifically. In order to effectively analyze document design strategies across cultures, I have collected documents from two cultures--from the United States and from Japan. These two cultures represent a low-context culture, the United States, and a high-context culture, Japan. The United States and Japan are opposite each other on Edward T. Hall's cultural continuum, providing ideal subjects for a cross-cultural document design analysis. Using previous research in document design and cultural studies, I have established a grid for analyzing visual elements in the documents I have collected--full color automobile sales booklets. I analyze both high- and low-context documents against this grid. The various document design grids allow for visual representation of document design decisions in both cultures. American international technical communicators can use these grids as a starting point for addressing the cultural implications of document design for high-context audiences. The research presented in this thesis shows that high- and low-context cultures use visuals much differently. Readers, in both cultures, are persuaded differently by visual elements. By exploring and analyzing the use of visuals such as photos, diagrams, line drawings, and the way both cultures use visuals to approach their audiences, this thesis attempts to present an explanation of visuals in high-context cultures that will aid American technical writers who design documents for international audiences. This thesis uses Japanese cultural analysis and Japanese design theories to explain high-context design decisions applied to Japanese documents.

The aim of this study is to see how the culture dimensions influence the affective feelings. Two cultures were studied.(i.e., Taiwan and Japan). To do this, two experiments were carried out. In Experiment 1, the bowls and plates were used to investigate the relationship between cultural dimensions and affective feelings. The cultural dimensions were found to have influence upon affective feelings. In Japanese culture, affective feelings of bowls and plates were described by the “modern” and “affinity” feelings. In Taiwanese culture, affective feelings for bowls were “modern”, “friendly”, and “complexity” feelings. The feelings of plates were “modern”, “value”, and “intimacy” feelings. In Experiment 2, the results obtained from Experiment 1 were summarized as the culture-oriented design guide. The results showed the cultural-oriented design guide can assist designers in design process well.

Abstract:

The operation term of Japanese nuclear power plants is less than 13 months. Moreover, the refuel outage period is longer than the other countries. It is likely that excessive preventive maintenances result in early “infant mortality” failures (early failures). However, the statistical evaluation report about failure type of Japanese nuclear power plants was not found. Therefore, Evaluation of plant engineering performance was tried on open data/information with a statistical method. The Weibull distribution/analysis, which needs not only failure data but also censored data like the preventive maintenance, was applied to plant performance evaluation. As open data/information, an annual report; “Operational Status of Nuclear Facilities in Japan” is very popular for the operation database of Japanese nuclear power plants. However, maintenance date/information of failed equipment which caused plant shutdowns were not reported in this annual report. Therefore, every equipment was assumed to be maintained during every shutdown, because this assumption generally makes conservative results of failure rate and Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) for discussion about early failures. Data till March 2007 were collected from these annual reports. As a result of plant performance evaluation, failure type was early “infant mortality” failure type. Excessive maintenances probably resulted in early failure type. Moreover, influence of early failures and effects of plant design modifications were evaluated. Almost 30% of failures occurred within one month after restart, and failure type excluded these failures was chance (random) type. Early failures within one month may be closely evaluated to improve maintenances. Design modification effect of Japanese nuclear power plants was confirmed.

Abstract Because a repulsive maglev vehicle only has extremely small uncontrollable damping force in its magnetically levitated gap, its vibration is a considerable problem. The one solution of this problem is to add a secondary suspension to the main system that is now practically used for Japanese type maglev train. In this paper, we first simplified the repulsive magnetic levitation vehicle with secondary suspension into a two-degree-of-freedom vibration model, and then analyzed the vibration properties of the system. Especially, we investigated the influence of the system parameters on the frequency responses of the system in detail, and found out that there are four fixed-points both in the frequency responses of car-body and truck. Similarly to the technique for dynamic absorber, but contrary to the aim of dynamic absorber with which to suppress the vibration of main mass, we successfully optimized the system parameters to suppress the car-body’s vibration that is equivalent to that of the additional mass of dynamic absorber by arranging the positions of the fixed-points.

Abstract:

Abstract In 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake that was the largest earthquake in Japanese history occurred. The earthquake had large acceleration, long duration and a lot of aftershocks, and coal-fired thermal power plants were damaged by the earthquake. Boiler structures in coal-fired thermal power plants are generally high-rise structures, and boilers are simply suspended from the top of the support structures in order not to restrict thermal expansion. Therefore boilers are easy to vibrate. In order to suppress vibration of boilers during earthquakes, stoppers are generally set between boilers and support structures. The stoppers are made of steel, and dissipate vibration energy by plastic deformation. However aseismic requirements for thermal power plants have been increased as a result of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Thus authors have developed a vibration control damper for coal-fired power plants. The damper is set instead of conventional stopper. Construction of the damper is similar to oil dampers, but inner fluid is viscous fluid. In PVP 2017, the basic performance of the proposed damper was presented. In PVP 2018, influence of dispersion of damper properties was also investigated. In addition, seismic response analyses using various earthquakes that include long period and long duration earthquake waves were carried out. As a result of previous investigations, it was confirmed that the proposed damper has good performance in its lifetime. However, parameters of dampers were selected manually. Therefore, influence of parameters of dampers on the lifetime were evaluated theoretically by using the experimental design method in this paper. The experimental design method is one of the effective techniques for research such as investigation of the influence of the habitat environment on the growth of crops. The selection of damper parameters is complex optimization, because so many variables need to be optimized. Therefore the experimental design method is suitable technique for the evaluation of damper parameters. This paper evaluates lifetime of dampers from the viewpoint of the experimental design method.

Abstract:

<p>Time history response analyses under a large-scaled earthquake in 5 multi-story building structural models including seismically isolated structures that were designed based on Japanese building standards are performed. And specific examples of performance degradation and recovery time of those building structural models were shown in linking the concept of resilience to building design. Then, the influence of residual deformation at seismic isolation floor on resilience was described and the limitation of damage parts in the structure and the installation of a monitoring system to shorten the recovery time and increase resilience, were introduced.</p>

Abstract:

This paper describes the premise for the standardization of Leak Before Break (LBB) assessment procedure applicable to Japanese Sodium cooled Fast Reactor (JSFR) pipes made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel. For the early commercialization of the SFRs, economic competitiveness is one of the most essential requirements. Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) proposes an attractive plant concept and studies the applicability of some innovative technologies to the plant. One of the most practical means to reduce the construction costs is to reduce the total amount of structural materials. To meet the requirements, modified 9Cr-1Mo steel has attractive characteristics as a main structural material of SFRs, because the steel has both excellent thermal properties and high temperature strength. By employing the steel as the main structural material, remarkably compact plant design can be achieved. Since the ductility and toughness of the steel is relatively inferior to those of conventional austenitic stainless steels, a LBB assessment technique suitable for the pipes made of modified 9Cr-1Mo steel may be required. In addition, since the SFR pipes are mainly subjected to displacement controlled thermal loads, it is expected that fast unstable fracture is unlikely. Taking both material and structural features into account, the framework to establish a precise LBB assessment procedure for SFR pipes must be organized. For the standardization of the LBB procedure, the main investigation items were defined as follows: (1) Approval of the assessment flowchart eliminating uncertainty due to small scale leakage, e.g. self plugging phenomenon and influence of crack surface roughness on leak rate. (2) Proper selection of LBB assessment objects in JSFR. (3) Distinguishment between the matters covered by a design code and LBB, i.e. assumption of initial flaw(s). (4) Development of creep and/or fatigue crack extension assessment technique, including collection of necessary material data. (5) Development of unstable fracture assessment technique. (6) Development of leak rate evaluation technique. (7) Characterization of loads for LBB assessment. (8) Standardization of the procedure as the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) code.

Abstract:

A thin walled cylindrical liquid storage tank submitted to a large seismic excitation may exhibit buckling. Depending on the geometrical and dynamical characteristics of the tank, two buckling patterns are possible: • a bending buckling characterized by an “elephant foot bulge” at the bottom part, • a shear buckling characterized by oblique waves at the middle part of the tank. In a recent paper (Ref. [1]), Tomohiro I. et al. have presented the Japanese experience about bending buckling of cylindrical water tanks. Dynamic buckling experimental tests were performed using large scale water tank models simulating thin walled cylindrical water tanks in Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). Test results were compared with finite element simulations and the applicability of a simple analytical method included in the AIJ (Architectural Institute of Japan) design guide lines on the buckling of liquid storage tanks was also investigated. In Europe, in the frame of the preparation of Eurocodes, a simple analytical method has also been developed to assess the buckling resistance of liquid storage tanks against seismic solicitations. On the other hand, FRAMATOME-ANP has gained her own experience about buckling analysis of large thin tanks where boric water is stored in French NPP. In order to justify the buckling behaviour of these tanks under extreme seismic loadings (Safe Shutdown Earthquake), finite element elastic-plastic calculations on shell models were undertaken where the influence of manufacturing geometrical defects was taken into account and the results were compared with those given by the simple analytical method included in Eurocode 8. In this paper, French and Japanese methodologies will be recalled and applied to a representative example of nuclear industry. Finally, some advanced aspects of the problem like the post-buckling behavior of the tanks and the influence of a possible bottom uplifting will be developed.
