+Read news.announce.newusers.

    Japan is certainly an interesting and important topic these days.
 Soc.culture.japan CAN BE an important conduit for discussion, but
 readers must keep in mind several things.

    Consider for instance that learning about the culture thru say the
 martial arts is a bit "insulting."  One might not know that
 rec.martial-arts now exists, but one might commit a social faux pas as
 they say. Similarly, one would not generalize Japanese business with say
 The Book of Five Rings.  A bit of email research (asking your news admin)
 can avoid this embarassment.  This is but one example why this file exists.

+You almost only deal with technical matters. If people want to understand
+Japanese culture, they should try to get an opinion by themselves:
+living (in Japan -- not so common), reading book, listening music.

 This file represents a little polite reminder that...

    1) Misunderstanding is EXTREMELY likely.  To paraphrase H. Spencer:
       an ounce of understanding beats a pound of flaming.

    2) Read news.announce.newusers and comprehend BEFORE posting.

       2a) Edit SUBJECT lines, MINIMIZE cross-posting,
           and use FOLLOW-UP lines.

    3) It is useful on this topic to do some non-network reading
       BEFORE posting.  It is particular critical here because there
       is a language barrier.  There are many good books such as

    Read some books about Japan and the other countries whose relations
 with Japan you wish to discuss. This will help eliminate the "gross
 generalizations" contained in many posts. This will also minimize
 cyclic discussion. Of course, no single book can convey all viewpoints
 or perspectives. Read a couple with an open mind.

    4) Avoid using inflamatory terms to refer to people of other races.
       For example, it is very rude to refer to the Japanese as Japs or
       to non-Japanese as Gaijin. There are such terms for all
       nationalities and races. Strive to educate!

    5) Be mindful of the fact that all of us have different values:
       Americans, Europeans, Japanese, Asian Americans of all backgrounds
       other news groups exist:
           soc.culture.asian.american
           soc.culture.korean
           soc.culture.china
           soc.culture.taiwan
           soc.culture.hongkong
           soc.culture.usa
           soc.culture.europe, etc.
 	   comp.research.japan
	The entire fj hierarchy comes to several sites in the US, but
	requires terminals with Kanji support for reading.

 A simple way to begin is: get a large-scale map of Japan and learn
 the geography: city locations and names, distances, directions, etc.
 This is a less painful way to introduce the language, and culture.
 Other maps can show cultural features like where industry is located,
 rail maps, etc.  Where?  Find a map or book store, check the phone book in
 the "Yellow Pages"[tm].

 Subject: Japanese videos
 
 Here's something I've found in The Japan Times today:
 "Japanese videos in English"
 
 Donald Richie, the article writer, mentions the following book:
 
 Beverley Bare Buehrer, "Japanese Films: A Filmography and Commentary,
 1921-1989," McFarland & Co., Box 611, Jefferson, N.C. 28640 ($41.95
 PP, to Japan, I assume).  It supposedly has the complete listing of
 Japanese films.
 
 And then he lists some videos along with where you can get them.  In
 the order of the most quoted places: (the first 4 are probably the best bet)
 
 Sony Video Software, 1700 Broadway, N.Y., NY 10019
 Balzac Video, 1253 Tanager Lane, West Chester, PA 19382
 Embassy Home Entertainment, 1901 Avenue of the Starts, L.A., CA 90067
 Connoisseur Video Collection, 8455 Beverly Blvd., Suite 302, L.A., CA 90048
 Video Yesteryear, PO Box C, Sandy Hook, Conn. 06482
 New Yorker Films, 16 W. 61 St., N.Y., NY 10023
 Historical Films, PO Box 29035, Chicago, IL 60629
 Media Home Entertainment, 5730 Buckingham Parkway, Culver City, CA 90230
 Pacific Arts, 50 N. La Cienega Blvd., Suite 210, Beverly Hills, CA 90211
 Corinth Films, 34 Gransevoort St., N.Y., NY 10014
 Republic Pictures Home Video, 12636 Beatrice St., L.A., CA 90066
 
    Lastly, please remember that different cultures each approach mail
 and news a little differently. Although not many people post to s.c.j
 from Japan, I can assure many people in Japan do read it.  We are not
 going to solve interculture flame wars here, but it would help if we
 didn't get involved and sought real solutions instead.  Recently, one
 correspondent was chastized by his Japanese company for posting to the
 net. This could have been anybody, but it was this group.

 One of the most frequent asked questions (faq) on this net has been:
 "Does anybody know the e-mail address to xxx in Japan?"
 
 The first place to look at should be the uumap of Japan.  An example 
 of an entry in the uumap is as follows:

 2)  You can't run (American) MacWrite or MacDraw on KanjiTalk.
 
 3)  Neither NinjaTerm nor ASLEdit is available from sumex-aim, now.
     They are deleted.   Someone said NinjaTerm is on e.ms.uky.edu
     [128.163.128.5] /pub/mac/comm, but I haven't check it.
 
     And Ninjaterm is on sachiko.acc.stolaf.edu [130.71.192.17]
     /OpticalDisk/src/local/vax/mac.   (I checked)

    ASLEdit is still on oswego.oswego.edu [129.3.1.1] /pub/mac.

   The japanese fonts used by Moke (KD) are available from
   mindseye.berkeley.edu [128.32.232.19] in pub/kanji/kd100.arc

 FAQ: How can I get copies of Japanese research papers?

 Free japanese tech searches: An American research can request a search
 by calling the NACSIS (Japan's National Center for Science Information
 Systems) operator between 1:00 and 4:00 PM EDT at (202) 357-7278 or
 sending an electronic mail message to nacsis@nsf.gov (internet) or
 nacsis@NSF (bitnet).  Searches can also be requested by writing to
 NACSIS Operator, National Science Foundation, Room 416A, 1800 G Street
 N.W., Washington, DC 20550.

 The databases include information about research projects sponsored by
 Japan's Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture; papers presented
 at electronics and chemistry society conferences; doctoral theses; and
 Japanese- and foreign-language holdings of periodicals and books in
 the libraries of 1100 Japanese universities.

 Translation is fairly expensive running at this time (1990) at $50-80
 per page of text.

Eugene,

 I've read your posting to soc.culture.japan and I'm replying to your
asking for comments.

 Maybe you already know... When you listed softwares which deal with
Japanese you didn't mention the DOS/V(~US$140 here), the Japanese
version of MS-DOS for PC ATs. It was released here in Japan in 1991,
now it's in version 5.0. There are already many commercial softwares
for this OS, including text editors. The V of DOS/V is from VGA (It
only works on VGA), and it is fully compatible with MS-DOS for
IBM-PCs. Actually it's the MS-DOS with some device drivers for
processing fonts and input. It also has commands to switch quickly
between Japanese and English. As an example of commercial text editor,
there is a DOS/V version of Ichitaro the best-selling editor in Japan.
The Dash version which has less functions than the complete one costs
about US$200.  There are also many Japanese version of English
programs for PCs such as Windows 3.0, Lotus 1-2-3, MS-Works, etc.

 I've got DOS/V and it's pretty good.

Can't help you with SUN, but JUNET is undergoing a reorganization
right now and you will need to join the JUNET Society. Here is
a translation of something from the (voluminous!) documents:

   When you want to join JUNET Society, you need an introduction by one
   of JUNET technical committee members who was designated by JUNET
   Society rule. In this file we call the organization which wants to
   join newly, new organization and call an applicant of new
   organization, applicant, and a technical committee member who

Please ask him to contact the JUNET Society. I don't know if they
speak/understand English but all the documents, etc. are in Japaese
(naturally).

Sorry, it costs me extra to send mail and I thought maybe somebody
else might be interested so I have posted my reply here.

Hope that helps,

about 30M HD remainder for 300-dpi-PK fonts to print out the
texts.

Bye,

Toshi

Toshi he,

emTeX is from Eberhard Mattes, I believe a PhD student in Stuttgart, Doitsu.
I was there last month, I should have visited him to thank him personally for 
his splendid work! Maybe next time I'm there... 

emTeX is available from several sources. My FTP site list mentions:

> emTeX           ymir.claremont.edu      tex/ibm_pc/tex/emtex/disk[1-6]

and none of these are in Japan. But I am almost certain that utsun in Tokyo 
(see below) has this somewhere. Check there first! 

You can obtain JemTeX version 2 (14 April 1991) from:

  SIMTEL (tenex) (192.88.110.20) file tex/jemtex2.zip
  wuarchive (binary) (128.252.135.4) file mirrors/msdos/tex/jemtex2.zip
  utsun (binary) (133.11.11.11) file TeX/jemtex2.zip
  ymir (?) (134.173.4.23) file tex/babel/japanese/jemtex2.zip

Hope this helps!
