Abstract:
We measured radiocarbon ages of 11 pieces of ancient Japanese documents by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). The purpose of this study is to compare the relationship between the calibrated 14C age and the historical age of Japanese paper samples. Calibrated ages of nine pieces agree with their historical ages, indicating that Japanese ancient documents can be used for 14C dating in the recent historic period. On the other hand, the 14C age of paper that was used for reinforcement of a sutra is ca. 300 yr older than the historical age of the sutra. This shows that the sutra was repaired with old paper.

Abstract:
Abstract Life span research has been interested in how sociocultural contexts shape individual development and aging processes. Empirical studies have reported that later cohorts show higher levels of well-being. However, more recent studies indicate that cohort differences are not sustained in very late life. The present study examined whether cohort differences in well-being, as measured by life satisfaction, are observed in the young-old and old-old, and further explored potential determinants of cohort differences. Using longitudinal data from a nationally representative study of older Japanese, conducted from 1987—2002, we compared earlier- and later-born cohorts in the young-old (N = 874; age 60—65; year of birth: 1922—1927 and 1931—1936) and old-old (N = 1,022; age 70—80; year of birth: 1907—1917 and 1919—1929), respectively. To control for covariates, we used case-matched groups based on age and gender. Results revealed that later cohorts exhibited higher levels of life satisfaction in both age groups. In the young-old, life satisfaction declined across cohorts. In the old-old, life satisfaction remained stable among earlier cohorts but declined among later cohorts. Socioeconomic, social, and health factors at the individual level and methodological factors (i.e., number of observations) did not fully explain the cohort differences in both age groups. Our results suggest that historical increases in levels of well-being are observed in late life, but that these improvements do not hold in very late life. Future studies should consider potential societal factors behind observed cohort differences in well-being.

Abstract:
Since the late 1980s, representations of Japanese national identity and Japanese old age have been deconstructed. Images of the resilience of traditional cultural and social institutions are shown to have over-emphasized social and cultural homogeneity, elided social differentiation and inequality and minimized the significance of historical transformation. Key institutions of the postwar modernization project, including the patriarchal seniority system and household structure, are being transformed through globalization and feminization. This thesis focuses on the problem of representing individual and collective ageing in Japan in the context of modernization. Research is focussed on the contradictions, within essentialist representations of Japanese collective and individual identity, between socially constructed policy forms of old age and collective identities. Contemporary trends towards individualization and diversification of identities, and discourses on the ageing/information society, indicate cultural distance between an instrumentally rational administration and the life world of old people. Research explores the concept of embodiment through its significance in debates on postmodernization of the lifecourse in accordance with the structural shifts towards a postindustrial structure. This study examines representations of old age in broader social and cultural processes. Images of the social and cultural trajectory of the lifecourse draw attention to the embodiment of individual identities and ultimately generational cultures in contemporary social and cultural spaces. This research is the result of analyses of old age, which have been informed by postmodern theory. It in turn informs sociological theorizations of cultural representations of old age in contemporary societies.

A composição etária da sociedade brasileira sofre transformações com um significativo aumento do contingente de idosos (IBGE, 2009). Além da idade, de acordo com Neri (2005), sexo, classe social, saúde, educação, fatores de personalidade, história passada e contexto social são importantes elementos que se mesclam, determinando diferenças entre idosos. Debert (1999) ressalta que a velhice é um processo elaborado simbolicamente e que varia de cultura para cultura, em que se deve respeitar a heterogeneidade presente. No Brasil, o processo imigratório é um dos fatores de grande contribuição para a heterogeneidade da população brasileira. Nesta pesquisa, abordaremos alguns aspectos culturais voltados ao imigrante japonês e ao seu descendente, quando idosos e residentes no Brasil, país que ainda mantem vínculo com o Japão devido a fatores históricos e atualmente abriga a maior população nikkei (descendente de japonês) residente fora do Japão. Entrevistamos 17 indivíduos idosos nikkeis e uma idosa japonesa, visando discutir sobre o envelhecimento dessas pessoas mediante questionário semiestruturado. A realização de dois estudos observacionais em instituições socioassistenciais para idosos no Japão por meio da Agência de Cooperação Internacional do Japão, denominada JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency), também contribuiu para a metodologia usada no presente trabalho. Através da observação em instituições japonesas, do contato prévio com instituições para idosos no Brasil e das entrevistas realizadas, tivemos a oportunidade de conhecer especialistas que apresentaram conceitos sobre o dia a dia em alguns serviços no Japão. Pudemos também discutir sobre os serviços que essas instituições oferecem, observando suas diferentes demandas e percepções acerca da velhice em cada país. Isso pode levar demais profissionais envolvidos no tema envelhecimento no Brasil a refletirem sobre possíveis novos modelos de serviços para esta população, que possui uma realidade complexa devido sua diversidade em muitos aspectos, possibilitando que o processo de envelhecimento ocorra com qualidade.
The composition of the age structure of Brazilian society, in which transformations occur in, with a significant increase in the number of elderly people (IBGE, 2009). According to Neri (2005), besides age, gender, social class, health, education, personality factors, past history and socio context are important elements that determine differences among the elderly. Debert (1999) points out that old age is not a natural category, but rather a process elaborated symbolically and that varies from culture to culture, in which the present heterogeneity must be respected. In Brazil, the immigrant currents are one of the factors that contribute greatly to the heterogeneity of the elderly population. In this research, we address some cultural aspects related to the Japanese immigrant and the descendant, elderly and resident in Brazil, a country that still maintains a bond with Japan due to historical factors and currently houses the largest Nikkei resident population outside Japan. We interviewed 17 elderly Nikkei individuals and a Japanese elderly woman in order to raise and discuss the aging of these people living in Brazilian society and other experiences in relation to the Japanese cultural aspects, through a semi-structured questionnaire. The realization of two observational studies in social assistance institutions for the elderly in Japan through Japan's international cooperation agency, JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency), also contributed to the methodology used in this study. Through observation in Japanese institutions, the previous contact with institutions for the elderly in Brazil and the interviews conducted, we were also able to discuss the services offered by these institutions, observing their different demands about the ageing of each country. These discussion and observation can instigate professionals involved in old age and aging in Brazil to reflect on possible new service models for this population, which has a complex reality because of its diversity in many aspects, allowing the ageing process to occur with quality .

Abstract:
My dissertation, The Female Body, Motherhood, and Old Age: Representations of Women in Hell in Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century Japan, examines the literary and visual representations of women in hell in late medieval and early modern Japan, with particular attention to the female body, motherhood, and old age. My focus is the late Muromachi and early Edo periods, when a constellation of new hells began to be conceptualized that had serious ramifications for representation of women. I examine a group of otogizōshi texts and hell paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which were disseminated widely through different media (picture scrolls, screen paintings, and narrative texts) and which generated a set of motifs representing women in the afterlife. I relate the emergence of these motifs to the larger history of the discursive construction of the female body and the evolution of representations of hell in premodern Japan. I argue that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, representations of women in hell in these texts and paintings shifted in their focus to domestic relationships, specifically mother-child and wife-husband relationships. This change is best exemplified by the late medieval set of gendered hells (The Hell of Barren Women, The Hell of Two Wives, and Children’s Limbo), which represent the body of the woman from three perspectives: 1) as infertile (as in the Hell of Barren Women), 2) as related to animals (such as the serpentine queen in Daibutsu no go-engi (The Venerable Origins of the Great Buddha) and the serpent-women in the Hell of Two Wives), and 3) as stigmatized or punished for excess desire/attachment in their mother-child and wife-husband relationships (as in the Hell of Two Wives). This dissertation also analyzes woman as erotic object, as mother, and as aging body from a comparative Japan-China perspective. By comparing similar motifs that emerged at approximately the same historical moments—the snake queen falling into hell in Daibutsu no go-engi with the snake queen in “Empress Xi turning into a python,” and Datsueba (Clothes-snatching Hag) with Meng Po (Lady of Forgetfulness)—I am able to highlight distinctive features of these new hells for women as well as compare the differing functions of hell shown by these Japanese and Chinese examples. In Chapter 1, “Women Falling Into Hell in Early Medieval Japan,” I analyze three early medieval tales of women journeying to and from Tateyama hell in the eleventh-century Dai Nihonkoku Hokkekyō genki and twelfth-century Konjaku monogatari shū in order to provide background for my later discussion on the new concerns for women that emerged in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. I show how the salvation of the deceased female protagonists depended on the proper rituals being performed by family members and I make clear the significance that motherhood was accorded in early medieval Buddhist tales of women in hell. I then examine how representations of women evolved and became more complex in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with the emergence of the Hell of Barren Women, where childless women are punished, and the Hell of Two Wives, in which two serpent women coil their bodies around a man with whom they had become involved in a triangular relationship. In Chapter 2, “Barren Women Hells and Daibutsu no go-engi (The Venerable Origins of the Great Buddha),” I show how the Hell of Barren Women stresses the reproductive responsibilities of women. The representations of the Hell of Barren Women, reflecting a growing female audience in the late Muromachi and early Edo periods, are clear evidence of a belief that it is motherhood that is a woman’s passport to salvation. In Chapter 3, I examine “The Serpentine Queen and the Chinese Tale of Empress Xi Hui Turning Into a Python.” A comparison with Daibutsu no go-engi shows that the Chinese stories about Empress Xi focus more on the feelings and observations of the living, while Daibutsu no go-engi stresses the accumulation and elimination of negative karma. Chapter 4, “The Hell of Two Wives: Transformed Women and the Jealousy of Joint-Wives,” examines the motif of the “transformed woman” found in the Lotus Sutra, the eleventh-century Hokke genki, and the mid-sixteenth century Dōjōji engi, showing how a negative connection between women and the dragon-serpent body was established, and how the animalized female body relates to the question of desire. The entwined threesome in the Hell of Two Wives not only exemplifies a domestic narrative of betrayal and resentment; it also shows a transition from a general stigmatization of the female body towards a more specific condemnation of lust, jealousy, and resentment—which are all gendered female. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, women’s roles evolved to reflect a desire to maintain the stability of family. At the same time, these representations began focusing more on situations in which women’s efforts to control body or mind met with failure. Chapter 5, “Old Women as Keepers of the Borders: Datsueba and Meng Po,” analyzes two figures of hags in hell: Datsueba in Japan and Meng Po in China. While Datsueba watches over the dead as they descend to the depths of hell to receive judgment, Meng Po cares for them as they make their way out of hell to achieve reincarnation. I argue that both Datsueba and Meng Po reinforce the border of hell by depriving the deceased of their social identities, but while Datsueba punishes and purifies the deceased, Meng Po focuses on the transitional stage between death and the next life, and her memory-erasing function shows that, paradoxically, in Chinese hell deceased souls are not liberated from the basic Confucian relationships that are so important to the living.

Ecosystem carbon stock and net ecosystem production (NEP) are two crucial factors in understanding ecological functions of a forest ecosystem. In Taiwan, Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) plantations are one of the important plantations. However, their carbon stock and NEP are not well known, especially when the plantations are becoming older and exceeding their normal rotation period. In this study, we measured live tree carbon stock and ecosystem carbon stock in stands selected along an age gradient from 37 to 90 years of age in Xitou, central Taiwan. We incorporated previous published data with our data to develop an age-sequence model by using the Mitscherlich model. We also determined the NEP in three stands with different ages by using biometric based method. The results show that live tree and ecosystem carbon stock ranged from 164.92 to 272.36 Mg C ha-1 and 285.65 to 355.88 Mg C ha-1, respectively, and live tree carbon stock was the largest carbon pool of ecosystem. The Mitscherlich model further indicated that live tree C continually accumulated in current Japanese cedar stands and the final value of live tree carbon was predicted at 541.3 Mg C ha-1. The NEP values of three stands were in agreement with the findings of the model, showing that the Japanese cedar plantations were carbon sinks and sequestrated 5.61, 4.73 and 1.46 Mg C ha-1 y-1 in the 37-year-old, 60-year-old and 90-year-old plantation respectively. We found the values of NPP declined with stand age, while their allocation of net primary production (NPP) was affected by the nutrient availability of stand. Heterotrophic respiration of three stands ranged from 4.95 to 7.29 Mg C ha-1 y-1 and contributed great uncertainty in NEP estimation. The result of this study is of importance in studying carbon budget and forest management of the Japanese cedar plantation in Xitou.

AbstractThis chapter describes the data sources that are available for verifying the ages of the oldest-old in Japan. These sources can be both official and non-official documents. The official documents consist primarily of education and employment records issued by administration offices. The non-official documents include the testimonies of the centenarians themselves, their relatives, and their care workers; as well as media reports. We collected information from these official and non-official sources in order to confirm that three Japanese individuals who had reportedly survived to age 115 were indeed that old. The first of these individuals is Mr. Jiroemon Kimura (J.K.), who spent most of his life in his birth place. In his case, we were able to gather information from various sources, including from official and non-official documents. But for the other two individuals, Mrs. Misao Okawa (M.O.) and Mrs. Chiyo Miyako (C.M.), who relocated several times within urban areas, we were able to collect only a limited amount of information. In particular, we were unable to find many official documents about their original family members. These three cases suggest that the availability of the data needed to verify the ages of individuals who were born around 1900 might differ depending on the following three conditions: whether the person has moved from his/her place of birth, whether the person has been living in rural or urban areas, and whether the person is male or female.

Abstract:
This chapter situates “The Story of Chūgōrō” within the context of both Hearn’s escape from Western civilization and a growing fascination in America with Japanese art and culture. Hearn’s age witnessed not only a flourishing of Gothic and vampire literature but also, in the wake of the opening of Yokohama, the crescendo of Japonisme. In his re-writing of the old Japanese tale, Hearn circumvents Transylvanian terminology and references to the Gothic. Instead, he foregrounds the story’s Japanese-ness. What is “startling” and “strange” for Hearn’s turn-of-the-century readers is not necessarily that the protagonist of his story falls prey to a blood-loving seductress, but rather Japan itself, considered to be the exotic per se. With her similarity to the Western vampire, the bloodthirsty female proves to be a familiar figure in the midst of the unfamiliar—a figure mediating between East and West, partaking of what could be called a form of the “transcultural supernatural.”

After a brief discussion on the relationships between modern mainland dialects with the two varieties of Old Japanese, Central Old Japanese and Eastern Old Japanese, the salient features of Standard Japanese are described from the new perspective of grammatical nominalizations. Then cross-dialectal studies are presented on selected topics, centering on case particles and the conclusive/adnominal verbal patterns. Also presented for the first time in English is a reasonably detailed description of the isolated dialect of Hachijō Island, which, like Ryūkyūan, retains many archaic features of Old Japanese.

Abstract:
Lewy bodies are spherical neuronal inclusions, first described by the German neuropathologist Friederich Lewy while working in Alzheimer's laboratory in Munich in 1912. In 1961, Okazaki published case reports about two elderly men who presented with dementia and died shortly after with severe extrapyramidal rigidity. Autopsy showed Lewy bodies in their cerebral cortex. Over the next 20 years, 34 similar cases were reported, all by Japanese workers. Lewy body disease was thus considered to be a rare cause of dementia, until a series of studies in Europe and North America, in the late 1980s, identified Lewy bodies in the brains of between 15 and 20 per cent of elderly demented cases reaching autopsy. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is unlikely to be a newly occurring disorder, since re-examination of autopsy material collected from elderly demented patients in Newcastle during the 1960s, reveals cortical Lewy bodies in 17 per cent of cases. The recent recognition of DLB as the second most common form of degenerative dementia in old age is largely due to the widespread use of improved neuropathological techniques, initially antiubiquitin immunocytochemistry, and more recently specific staining for alpha-synuclein which is a core constituent of Lewy bodies and related lesions.

This chapter presents all relevant forms of the cardinal numerals 1‒10, 20‒90, 100, and sometimes also teens and ordinals, in all described Transeurasian languages. Besides all modern languages, where maximum accuracy in transcription is preferred, the old literary and epigraphic languages (Orkhon Runic, Old Uyghur, Karakhanid, Old Oghuz, Chaghatai; Middle Mongol, Written Mongol; Jurchen, Manchu; Middle Korean; Old and Classic Japanese), are also analyzed, including some relic languages known only fragmentarily (Kuman, Old Bulgar; Kitan; Baekje, Silla; Koguryo). On the basis of regular phonetic correspondences the related forms are projected into the partial daughter protolanguages: Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, and Korean. Instead of Proto-Japonic, the Old Japanese forms serve for this purpose. Applying the comparative etymological method to the final comparison between these partial protolanguages should lead to identification of inherited cognates from borrowings in agreement with phonetic rules, semantic typology, and in the perspective of possible influences of hypothetical substrata, adstrata, and superstrata.

Abstract:
After Fukushima nuclear power generation plant accident disaster, all of residents in the area contaminated by radioactivity, and all public facilities are evacuated to surrounding regions or more remote cities by central government’s directions. So refugee temporary housing estates are scattered and aged people left there after six years since the disaster. Namie town is the biggest one in these area. City of Nihonmastu is typical Japanese castle town city and adjacent to contaminated area, and accepted many Nanie refugees, temporary housings, town office and schools, hospitals and industry site, so on. Fukushima Namie Recovering Project team, organized by NPO Shinmachi-Namie and Waseda university, proposed Network-community connecting several refugee housing estates, evacuated public facilities and other city cores. It is necessary to connect them and reintegrate their community facilitating “supporting system for network community” in practice. This vision of Network-community would be adapted to the historical stable region, which involves various dispersed, aged and isolated communities. Nihonmatsu, as the Castle Town City of Nakadori-region in Fukushima prefecture, attracts people’s attention by its historical urban areas, old streets and lots of unoccupied housing and so on. That is, it is very hard to let Nihonmatsu people think optimistically about the shelter for Namie evacuees. Nevertheless, the areas of Nakadori region including Nihonmatsu may cooperate with the Namie evacuee and energize the ruined coastline by “Network Community” – the network that encompasses various historical traditions that still exist today as the regional resources; thus, the vision of future Fukushima is expectable.

Abstract:
<p>Since Japan’s first rail line between Shinbashi and Yokohama opened on 14 October 1872, Japanese National Railways (JNR) has been expanding the railway network using many short span railway bridges. As a result, some of existing railway bridges become old nowadays. With aging, deterioration resulting from fatigue and corrosion becomes a severe problem and seriously affects the serviceability and durability of bridges. Therefore, appropriate preventive maintenance or strengthening should be performed on aged steel railway structures to ensure their reliability and safety in service condition. On this background, a maintenance method for existing steel railway bridges using rubber-latex mortar, Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) plates, lightweight rapid hardening concrete, and reinforcement, was reported in this study. Both field tests and numerical analyses were performed to confirm the actual effectiveness of this strengthening method. According to the results obtained from this study, the present renovation method can greatly enhance the rigidity and reduce the stress levels of old steel railway bridges, resulting in the extension of their residual service lives.</p>

Abstract:
Hanging scrolls are a traditional Japanese ornamental art, which allow paintings and calligraphy to be unrolled and hung on a wall or in an alcove for display, and rolled up and stored in a box. Hanging scrolls should hang straight when unrolled, and roll smoothly for proper storage, without damaging the artwork beneath. For this purpose, scrolls are lined with several layers of Japanese paper, and adhered together with a weak, aged paste made from wheat starch, which gives the paper the flexibility required when the scrolls are rolled up for storage. While this old paste facilitates winding a scroll because it does not become hard even when dried, it does not have sufficient adhesive effect to grip Japanese paper. In order to increase the adhesive power of this aged paste, craftsmen employ a traditional technique of pounding the paper with a special “pounding brush.” This pounding technique is an important part of the fabrication process of hanging scrolls, but it is a difficult task for each generation to pass down the proper pounding technique. This study was intended to verify the effects of the pounding technique on aged paste and Japanese paper. We prepared samples with the pounding technique and investigated their adhesive properties of samples by peel text. In order to verify the importance of this traditional technique and the traditional materials, we compared and analyzed the differences in adhesion between craftsmen of different skill and differences introduced by paste concentration and backing paper quality.

Abstract:
Japan is geopolitically blessed with natural grace such as beautiful four seasons, abundant forest, fruitful earth and fresh water. And it seems that it has induced the deep trust between nature and human and has cultivated the Japanese unique culture which harmonizes nature with human sensibility. The origin of handmade technology in Japan dates back to the Jomon period more than 10,000 years ago. The Jomon potteries excavated were made by utilizing the technologies of kneading clay with water and sintering by fire, and some of them were discovered to have the lacquer coatings on their surfaces extracted from plants. The conventional technology would be created by our predecessors who had the sophisticated sensitivity and the excellent imagination cultivated with the careful observation of nature behavior. The technology was handed down to today through various historical changes in response to the diverse values of the individual era. It can be considered that the Japanese conventional technology is the nature friendly cultural asset co-created by nature and human through the long-term environmental changes more than 10000 years. Future-applied conventional technology is the most reliable technology study to develop the future and to hand over the advanced value to the next generation.In this study, we scrutinized the related theme studied by Future-Applied Conventional Technology Center in Kyoto Institute of Technology, in order to extract the engineering element inherent in the conventional technologies and classify into common elements and specific elements for each technology. From the view point of nature and human relation, engineering elements were extracted comprehensively about the main materials, the auxiliary materials, the human sensibility, the hand tools and the human skills. The main materials and the auxiliary materials were classified into “wood, fire, earth, metal, water” according to the old Eastern thought “the five elements theory” which constitute nature, and animal-derived materials in addition. The human sensibility elements were extracted about the material evaluation, the dynamic process observation and the finished degree evaluation and classified into five senses “visual, auditory, tactile, taste, smell”, and the other sense such as fitness feeling with clothes or accessories. The hand tools were listed such as brush, trowel, spatula, scissors and hammer with the features of usage. The human skills were extracted about each material manipulating process comprehensively and classified into common elements and specific elements, by considering the features respectively. With applying this study as a guideline for the innovation of the future technology harmonized with nature and human, it would be expected to promote variety of researches of the conventional technology and to develop the future technology for the modern cutting-edge field, by feeling the importance of the engineering elements and their relationship study inherent in the conventional technology.
