1. Welcome from the President of AEAEH
Welcome to EAEH2021 online! The Sixth Biennial Conference of East Asian
Environmental History was to be held at Kyoto University, Japan. However, because of
the COVID-19 pandemic, the local preparatory committee decided to have the conference
entirely online. Although it is regretful that we cannot meet face to face, I hope the online
meeting will be an exciting place to exchange ideas.
The general theme of this conference is “Human and Nature in East Asia: Exploring
New Directions in Environmental History.” It has been ten years since the first conferenceof AEAEH was held at Academia Sinica in October 2011. For the last ten years, East
Asian environmental historians have met each other and exchanged their perspectives onhistory. This year, we have prepared several keynote speeches and round tables to explore
new directions of East Asian environmental history. The topics of these sessions are
disease, pollution, economy, oceans, and Asia. I believe all presentations and discussions
at these sessions will be informative to AEAEH members.
In addition, EAEH2021 will have 56 sessions, including organized panels andindividual papers. This number of sessions is relatively larger than previous meetings.
There will be many new participants from America, Europe, South Asia, and Southeast
Asia, with the total number of participants reaching more than 200. I hope the conference
will be the place for AEAEH members to meet new scholars interested in East Asian
environmental history.
It is indeed challenging to communicate with each other online. We have arranged awelcome party for practicing Zoom and meeting people online. We have also prepared afree discussion room separated into various topics. You can continue your discussion evenafter the sessions end and are also very welcome to have other informal chats there. Please
explore your interests in environmental history through the sessions and the conversations
that we hope they inspire.

Pandemic and Endemic in East Asian History
Professor Wataru Iijima (Aoyama Gakuin University)
Abstract
In a very famous book Plagues and Peoples, Prof. W. H. McNeill discusses that there wasa lot of prevalence of infectious diseases in the history of East Asia such as smallpox. It
is very interesting and important that we have a lot of epidemics in reality or we know
many of them from huge records in history books like Twenty-Four Histories, the official
histories of past Chinese dynasties. Which answer is right?
McNeill also confirms the fundamental situation of epidemics in China by the
information in the book Epidemics in China, a check List is compiled by Joseph H. Cha,
Prof. of Far Eastern History, Quincy College. Unfortunately, we do not know more about
Prof. Cha, but the source material was Ch’en Kao-yung, Chung Kuo Li Tai Tien Tsai Jen
Huo Piao, a 2 vols. Edition published in Shanghai in 1940. Consulting with this reference,
McNeill examines the pandemic of bubonic plague in the late Yuan period and discusses
the transfer of bubonic plague from Yunnan to the whole of China due to the militaryinvasion of the Mongol Empire, and later from China to Europe through the Silk Road.
As a result, McNeill raises very famous speculation that the origin of the Black Death inMedieval Europe was in East Asia, specifically the Yunnan region.
An idea of McNeill was also based on the research works by Wu Lien-teh, a scientist
has later named Plague fighter in the history, such as Wu Lien-teh, Chun, J. W., Pollitzer,
R. & Wu, C. Y. , Plague: a manual for medical and public health workers, in Shanghai
in 1936. Dr. Wu worked as a Chinese medical specialist and played a very important roleat the Manchurian Plague Prevention Bureau for the establishment of the public healthsystem in the first half of twentieth-century China. But Wu estimated the origin of theBlack Death was not Yunnan, it could be the regions of Central Asia. McNeill alters Wu’s
explanation of plague transmission to his speculation based on the records and hypothesisof plague pandemic in Hong Kong and South China around 1894. The Maritime Customs
Reports of the late 19th century indicated Yunnan should be the epic center of thecontagious plague during the late nineteenth century. The origin of the Black Death ofMedieval Europe is still a controversial issue in the history of infectious diseases.
Based on the new researches of Prof. Monica Green, In her edited masterpiece Pandemic
3Disease in the Medieval World, The Medieval Globe, Vol.1, she criticized the Yunnanmodel of McNeill based on the new DNA analysis which reveals more questions anddebates.
Furthermore, a couple of endemics for example schistosomiasis and filariasis also has
been as important as pandemics in the history of infectious diseases like McNeill
previously discussed. A couple of endemics were very serious, but we do not have seen
many records in Twenty-Four Histories. A very crucial black hole to our study of thehistory of diseases in China. Endemics has been very problematic to the everyday life of
the common people, but only few records were available. Studying them will be ourchallenge and a good one to improve our understanding of the Chinese and East Asianpast.
Dr. Patrick Manson, a medical officer of the Chinese Maritime Customs and worked at
the coastal cities in China and Taiwan paid much attention to the endemic diseases in East
Asia. In his rich experience, he researched many endemic cases and advanced a study oftropical medicine. After that, he established the London School of Tropical Medicine andwas called ”the father of tropical medicine.” His finding on endemic diseases wasadvanced based on the cultural and academic exchanges between Western Medicine andIndigenous medicines including traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese medical
knowledge.
In this presentation I will talk about the epidemic and endemic in the history of infectious
disease in East Asia and propose a couple of new research topics.

Wataru Iijima is a professor at the Department of History, College of Literature, Aoyama
Gakuin University. As a historian of disease and medicine in East Asia, he has publishedbooks and articles in Japanese, English, and Chinese. His major works are Plague andModern China (Kenbun Shuppan, 2000), The Hidden History of Malaria (Tokyo
University Press, 2005). He is also working to preserve historical materials at theArchives of infectious diseases history.

Niigata Minamata Disease 1965-2021: Social Exclusion, Hidden
Victims and the Power of “Folk-Cultural Revisionism”
Professor Reiko Seki (Graduate School of Sociology, Rikkyo University)
Abstract
Niigata Minamata Disease was the second outbreak of Minamata disease, officiallyannounced on June 12, 1965. In this presentation, I will discusses why the polluting
factory was located in the upper reaches of the Agano River, why the second Minamata
disease occurred, who were the victims of this disease, and why the lawsuit is still pending
more than half a century after the outbreak. The Niigata Minamata disease was “thestarting point for making pollution a social issue”. On the other hand, because Minamata
disease was a social exclusionary disease, the victims were hiding and did not want totalk about their physical problems or even the fact that they had eaten river fish. Therefore,
in the lawsuit currently being filed by the victims, the defendant argues that “it was notcommon for people of the Agano River basin to eat river fish”. In short, the power toreduce the scope of the victims creates a fake discourse that distorts the local food culture.

Reiko Seki is a professor at the College of Sociology, Rikkyo University. As an
environmental sociologist, she has been interested in empirical research on environmental
pollutions (especially Niigata Minamata Disease), environmental problems caused bydevelopment, and damage from and the Fukushima Nuclear Power Accident.

5East Asian Environmental History & Contemporary Global
Environmental Challenges
Professor R. Bin Wong (UCLA)
Abstracts
Environmental history and economic history are each prominent in global history, but
their connections have been infrequently considered as the complex and challenging
linkages between environment and economy we understand today. The irrelevance ofhistory to our present environmental predicament seems supported by admonitions thatthe past is no longer a reliable guide to the future. Social-ecological systems (SES) arecomplex non-linear systems in which the future cannot be predicted through conventional
statistical modeling of historical data. But this does not exhaust the reasons for turning
to environmental history in order to face present-day environmental challenges. In thispresentation, I’ll first consider what adopting an early modern historical vantage point
can offer on contemporary dissatisfaction with levels of per capita income as indicatorsof human satisfaction; contemporary ideas about well-being confirm a sensibility ofmaterial limitation familiar to people before the modern era. Second, even if many of us
have become critical of modern era economic excesses and suspicious of the ways inwhich economic decision making disregards environmental consequences, we can still
gain better understanding of how past economic and political governance principles andpractices have created the fragile environmental conditions we face today. I will argue
that the likelihood of coping successfully with climate change can be improved if we
understand our path-dependent possibilities. Third, because the environmental histories
of different world regions have been shaped by particular combinations of physicalenvironments, economic development, and state policies influencing human exploitationof the environment, path-dependent processes of changed governance differ across theglobe. This means that East Asian environmental history can offer distinctive insights thatcomplement and extend those already gained from environmental histories of other world
regions.
R. Bin Wong, Distinguished Professor of History, UCLA, has published more than one
hundred articles or book chapters appearing in Chinese, English, French, German andJapanese. Among his book publications, he is author of China Transformed: Historical
Change and the Limits of European Experience, co-author (w/ J-L Rosenthal) of Before
and Beyond Divergence: the Politics of Economic Change in China and Europe; and coeditor (w/ Masayuki Tanimoto) of Public Goods Provision in the Early Modern Economy:
Comparative Perspectives from Japan, China, And Europe. He currently studies historicaland contemporary natural resource governance regimes in China, the E.U. and the U.S.
