41. Sake-Drenched Postcards - Horie Is Heading To Hiroshima Delivers a weekly column that features japanese culture. http://www.bigempire.com/sake

Horie Is Heading to Hiroshima H is coverage of the '72 Nixon campaign for the Post aside, the Captain's journalistic bread-and-butter has been hard-nosed features nobody else dared touch This week though he is taking a peek at the upcoming general election by listening to another fish out of water - Internet entrepeneur Takafumi Horie - as he makes his campaign pitch in Hiroshima. K nown more for his fondness for t-shirts and shaking up Japan's business world than his politics, Takafumi Horie has added his name to the ticket for the upcoming general election. At the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan this week, the president of the decade-old Livedoor Co. said that he is frustrated by the public perception of Japanese politics as being filled with corruption and dishonesty "I want to change the status quo of the image that politicians have," the brash 32-year old said. "I want young people to think that politicians can be cool and brilliant." Up until now the 32-year-old Horie has primarily been involved in running his Internet portal Livedoor. But he signed on for the Hiroshima District No. 6 election as an independent to challenge renegade Shizuka Kamei, formerly of Koizumi's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, amid the ongoing clash over postal privatization. In doing so, he aims to offer a fresh alternative to what is often seen as a hopelessly rigid political system. Horie, who rattled Japan's corporate world earlier this year with his bid to take over Nippon Broadcasting System Inc., has been labeled one of prime minister Junichiro Koizumi's "assassins" - a tag to describe celebrity candidates running against opponents of Koizumi's vital postal privatization plans.

46. Art Of Sushi - A Japanese Culture Experience Experience japanese culture see sushi rolled into works of art flowers, butterflies dragonflies. Try my nori maki sushi recipe find out about sushi http://www.garden-gifts.com/sushiart.htm

Sushi Art I decided to create this page to share some of my favorite things I love about Japan and the japanese culture; good food, delicate sushi, beautiful music and colorful cartoon characters. I hope to include a little of each in this page while providing some interesting sushi information and beautiful music by Japanese composer and musician Inada-no-Umahijiri, who graciously allowed to me use of his music for this page is a member of the Tokyo Shakuhachi Ensemble and plays the "shakuhachi" which is the japanese bamboo flute. Turn your speaker on now for the ultimate experience Hikari-no-Haru - "The Light of Spring Sun" is the title of this composition - . Hakari means "the light of the sun" and haru means "spring". Sushi Origin Sushi originated as a way of preserving funa -a type of fish. The fish was salted and allowed to mature on a bed of vinegar rice, after which the rice was discarded. Before long vinegar rice came to be eaten together with the fish and then other ingredients. Thus the word sushi was derived: the marriage of vinegar rice with other ingredients. Many different combinations of sushi and ways of serving them evolved. It is not surprising that most people mistaken or associate the word sushi to raw fish. It may be because many sushi varieties are prepared using some type of fish or seafood and the raw part just happens to stick in peoples mind. But actually, sashimi means "raw fish". Sushi is the marriage of vinegar rice to other ingredients.

50. Japanese Culture And Daily Life Series Explains bath etiquette, public baths, hot springs, and related vocabulary. http://www.tjf.or.jp/eng/ge/ge04ofuro.htm

After returning from a trip abroad, the first thing most Japanese want to do is eat a good meal ( with rice, of course ) and take a long bath. Japanese are fond of soaking in the tub. According to one survey, 88% of Japanese said they liked taking baths. In a Japanese bath, an extra-deep tub is filled to the top with very hot water, in which you sit submerged up to the neck. Most people spend about half an hour in the bath every night. Most children take their baths with their father or mother until they are in the upper grades of elementary school. The family tub is an important place for parent-child communication. Why did Japan develop its particular style of bathing? One answer might be the climate. Japan's summers are hot and humid, and its witeres are cold. Hot baths wash the body's sweat off in the summer and warm the body up in the winter. Another answer might be Japan's volcanoes. Japan is famous for its number of volcanoes, many of which are still active. In many places, hot water bubbles up from underground. These hot springs, and the presence of many fast flowing rivers with clean water, have influenced the development of Japan's bath culture. Japanese use their baths not only to get clean but to maintain their health by warming themselves up and stimulating their circulation. Because the body is washed outside the bath, the bath water stays clean and deeply refreshing. In the hot springs or the public bath, everybody bathes in the same water, creating an unclothed companionship that facilitates amiable communication. In a bath, you can relax, recover from exhaustion, rid yourself of stress. No wonder Japanese love their baths.

53. Is Amae The Key To Understanding Japanese Culture? The concept of amae is bound up with cultural expectations. japanese culture stresses dependence while American culture underscores independence. http://www.sociology.org/content/vol005.001/smith-nomi.html

Electronic Journal of Sociology (2000) ISSN: 1198 3655 Is Amae the Key to Understanding Japanese Culture? Herman W Smith UM-St. Louis Takako Nomi UM-St. Louis *To be read at the Asia and Asian American Studies Section of the American Sociological Association for presentation at the Annual Meeting in San Francisco, August, 1998. Abstract Introduction Doi asserts that European languages lack an equivalent word to amae. His argument is that the lack of an equivalent word implies lack of social recognition and need of feelings of dependency and the desire to be loved in the West. The closest Western equivalents might be the classical Greek concepts of eros, which assumes the child's immature need to be loved, versus agape, deriving from the mother's need to give unqualified love (Tillich, 1957). Identity-Confirmation and Affect Control When a human engages in culturally inappropriate behaviors, or with culturally inappropriate counter-identities, he or she experiences negative affect. Heise (1991) has empirically derived a measure he terms the Deflection Score, which measures the discomfort felt by a person who finds herself in an identity-disconfirming event. An event such as Mother Hugs Child is probably highly identity-confirming for both mother and child in any culture, leading to low deflections. Mother Scolds Child is likely to increase anxiety in both mother and child, but is typical enough that only mild increases in deflection should result. Mother Batters Child specifies a very high deflection score. The abnormality of such an event raises questions such as: What kind of mother would batter her child? What kind of child would cause a mother to child batter?

Welcome to the KCC Japan Education Exchange website. Our mission is to facilitate better learning and understanding between the American and Japanese cultures. Our exchange programs and fellowships allow teenagers and adults to experience the uniqueness of living and understanding another culture. Many of our programs are given as scholarships and cost nothing for participants. Our other unique educational initiatives include Essay contests for scholarships to Japan, bringing Japanese teachers to American public schools and hosting symposia on US/Japan-related themes What's in a Name? In December 2003, Kobe College Corporation's Board of Directors voted to extend its name. From now on, the 84-year-old foundation will be known as KCC Japan Education Exchange. This change, taken after several years of consideration, was undertaken in order to achieve greater clarity with funding sources, scholars, and other key constituencies. The name helps communicate that we are not a college, or a corporation, but a non-profit foundation that supports education exchange between Japan and North America. As it has been since 1920, our primary relationship will continue to be with Kobe College in Nishinomiya, Japan. Our official, legal name remains as it appears on our 1920 charter. However, our extended name will be used on our letterhead, newsletters, and other printed materials. In abbreviated form, it is our new URL: www.kccjee.org
