Mottainai Culture: In Today’s Society
By: Crane
Tags: Sustainability, Japan, Green, Mottainai, Japanese Culture

By Sarah Acolatse for Crane & Turtle

Today, there are many efforts to help bring about positive change to our environment, whether it be through governmental efforts, non-profit efforts, or smaller individual efforts. At Crane&Turtle’s core, we strive to be apart of that change, focusing on the concept of Mottainai. The main message is all about cherishing the things that surround us as if they are something dear.

In this short blog, I would like to touch on a couple of ways Mottainai has taken shape in not only Japan but globally! Check out part 1 of this Mottainai series to learn a little bit about what Mottainai is and where it came from!

Mottainai in media

(From: Mottainai.Com)

Since fully integrating into Japanese culture after the Meiji era, Mottainai has taken different forms, educating both children and adults. One example is Mottainai Obaasan (lit. translation: Mottainai Grandma). Originally a children’s picture book by Mariko Shinju, it illustrates the Mottainai attitude using cute and relatable scenarios between a child and his grandma. This book has now turned into an animation with translations in multiple languages including English, French and more! Check out there work and animations at mottainai.com.

Mottainai Campaign

Probably, the most notable international example of Mottainai, is Mottainai Campaign by a Kenyan environmental activist who was the first person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for achievement in this field. She first visited Japan back in 2005, and since then advocated for this Japanese philosophy thus begining the Mottainai Campaign. Working with the global non-profit Green Belt Movement, mottainai was used as the catchphrase to help foster the mindset of being sustainable and green. They used the 4R’s~Reduce, Reuse, Recylce and Respect~as a great way to help people start living a green lifestyle.

Mottainai is a very powerful concept that clashes with America’s capitalistist and “more is better” mindset. It is important to understand the impacts of mass consumption and the inevitable negatives that will come about in the future if we both on the individual and group level do nothing. Though time is needed, I encourage the readers of this short blog post to do some reasearch on sustainability and try to incorporate a little mottainai culture into your lifestyle. Habits grow from childhood, so starting now and passing it on your children, nieces/nephews, and friends is a great way to start some change.

Mottainai is starting to be everywhere and I encourage you to start reducing waste, reuse resoures, recyle and respect!

Antifungal Drugs Market Size Worth $12.7 Billion By 2025
By: Gaurav Shah
Tags: Brazil, Japan, UK, Pharmaceutical, China

The global antifungal drugs market size is expected to reach USD 12.7 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., progressing at a CAGR of 1.5% during the forecast period. Increasing incidence of fungal infections worldwide is the key factor stoking the growth of the market. In addition, rise in adoption of immunosuppressive and antineoplastic agents, prosthetic devices and grafts, and broad-spectrum antibiotics has resulted in increased incidence of fungal infections in recent years.

According to statistics published by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention in 2017, it has been estimated that every year, nearly 220,000 new individuals are affected by cryptococcal meningitis, which is a brain infection and has resulted in 181,000 deaths per year around the world. Most of the deaths were reported in sub-Saharan Africa, due to high prevalence of HIV/AIDS. This indicates the potential demand for antifungal drugs due to high prevalence of mycological infections around the globe.

As aged people are more prone to infectious diseases and chronic conditions, including HIV and cancer, rise in geriatric population worldwide is likely to stir up the demand for antifungals to treat opportunistic fungal infections. The demand for fungistatic agents is estimated to remain strong through 2025 due to mounting cases of fungal infections that are difficult to diagnose, yielding high mortality and morbidity rates.

Medical Disposables Market Size Worth $844.83 Billion By 2027
By: Gaurav Shah
Tags: Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Medical Devices, Germany

The global medical disposables market size is expected to reach USD 844.83 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 16.7% from 2020 to 2027. Rising incidence of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs), impact of COVID-19 outbreak, and increasing number of surgical procedures are the key factors driving the market for medical disposables.

Increasing number of surgeries globally is a key factor expected to drive the market over the forecast period. For instance, as per Mölnlycke Health Care AB, 70.00 million surgical procedures are performed every year in Europe. As such, medical disposable products such as hospital gowns, disposables eye gear, hand sanitizers, respiratory supplies, and sterilization supplies, which are being an essential requirement for surgical procedures, are expected to witness high demand over the forecast period. For instance, as per the report published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), around 390,352 surgeries were performed in Canada in 2017. Disposable products prevent the transmission of nosocomial infections to some extent owing to which surgeons consistently prefer to use disposable products over the reusable ones. Such factors are expected to boost market growth.

Increasing incidence of HAIs due to lack of sanitation and precaution is also one of the leading factors contributing to the market growth. For instance, as per the CDC, about one in 25 hospital patients contracts at least one HAI every year. Non-woven disposables such as hospital gowns provide general protection against contamination and can help to lower the risk of contracting HAIs. Furthermore, they can prevent bacterial and other microbial infections from entering a patient’s body. Thus, surgeons recommend patients to wear disposable gowns before medical procedures. These factors are anticipated to propel the market growth over the forecast period.

Orange Cabbage in Tokyo

Orange Cabbage in Tokyo

I have lived in Tokyo for 16 years now and everyday it feels like I’ve just arrived.

The city itself is massive conurbation that straddles the Kanto plain and is the mighty mitochondria of Japan, the world’s third largest economy.

Tokyo is all about urban discovery.

There is always some hitherto unknown neighborhood to explore, some new eatery that Tokyoites are willing to queue hours for, some trending hotel or fashion outlet demanding a test-run.

Even now, almost a year after the pandemic, on the surface it’s BAU in the big city.

The shiny new retail complex in Shibuya’s Miyashita Park that displaced dozens of Tokyo’s rojo seikatsusha is thronging with nonchalant twenty year olds.

There are, however, more imperceptible ways that the virus has impacted upon daily life.

News of supermarket price rises and sudden scarcity at the best of times regularly populates morning variety programs (Japan is particular about its grocery supply chain to a degree that foreigners struggle to understand).

But when I asked my wife why the cabbage in the stew that night was orange, her reply startled me.

Normally it would only be available to high-end restaurants in town but corona had shut a lot of doors and now the hoi polloi found it in their soup.

Orange cabbage was indeed an unusual side effect of the global pandemic although I must admit it tasted exactly the same as normal hakusai.

Or perhaps my taste buds had already been tampered with by the abominable unseen germ?

Yahoo to remove online hate content in Japan
By: The Asia Live
Tags: Yahoo, Online Content, Japan

American web services provider Yahoo will remove “hateful and defamatory” content uploaded online in Japan.

The company said it will use artificial intelligence to remove such content, the Japanese news agency Kyodo News reported.

“We will make all-out efforts to deter and curb harmful posts,” said Kentaro Kawabe, president of Z Holdings Corp., the parent company of Yahoo Japan.

The move comes after the suspected suicide of a reality show star who was the target of online bullying.

Removing hateful content will help to tackle cyberbullying in the country.

The company said the online posts that “are judged harmful by artificial intelligence will be automatically removed”.

However, inquiries and complaints by those users whose posts are removed will be processed.

Japan has seen a rise in cyberbullying.

The country was shocked in May this year when a 22-year-old professional wrestler Kimura died.

The deceased was targeted with around 300 hateful messages from approximately 200 accounts.

Police believe such bullying prompted her to commit suicide.
The Building With a Highway Running Through It

The Building With a Highway Running Through It

The Gate Tower Building in Osaka, Japan, is a 16-story building that has a unique characteristic unlike other buildings. It has a highway running right through the middle of it.

The highway runs between the fifth and seventh floors of the building, and the highway is the tenant on those floors. The highway tunnels through the building and comes out the other side.

The property owners originally wanted to redevelop the land when approval for such a thing had been granted by the government in 1983. The problem was, the government refused to issue building permits because a highway had already been planned to run through the area.

The owners of the land negotiated with the Hanshin Expressway corporation for five years until they came up with the solution to run the highway directly through the building. It was eventually completed in 1992. The highway doesn’t touch the building in any way, but the highway department still must pay rent on the floors it occupies.

There is sound-proofing on the walls and floor of the building next to the tunnel to eliminate road noise for the workers inside, and since the tunnel is held up by pillars, it doesn’t touch the building, ensuring there are no vibrations from the roadway. The elevators run on the outside of the building and travel from floors one to four and eight to 16.
Prosthetics And Orthotics Market Size Worth $13.3 Billion By 2027
By: Gaurav Shah
Tags: France, Italy, Japan, Medical Devices, China

The global prosthetics and orthotics market size is expected to reach USD 13.3 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a 4.6% CAGR over the forecast period. Increasing incidences of sports injuries, rising incidence of osteosarcoma, and expanding geriatric population base are key factors driving the market.

Rising geriatric population across the globe has become a major factor driving demand for prosthetics and orthotics. For instance, as per the United Nations, the number of people aged 60 years or over globally is expected to more than double by 2050, increasing from 962 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion in 2050. The elderly are more susceptible to conditions such as osteoporosis and osteopenia, making them common users of various orthopedic solutions.

Increasing incidence of osteosarcoma in young adults and children is also driving the market to a great extent. Patients recovering from this surgery generally need orthopedic devices and prosthetics as a part of post-surgery treatment, which is slated to drive the market in the upcoming years. Around 800 to 900 new cases of osteosarcoma are reported in the U.S. each year as of 2018.

A Snowman Looks a Little Different in Japan
By: Daniel Ganninger
Tags: Japan, Culture, History, Winter, Snow

If you’re ever in Japan during the winter and happen to see a snowman, it probably would look a bit peculiar to the ones you’re accustomed to if you’re from the West. For one thing, they’ll look like they’re missing their mid-section, and they don’t have any arms. In Japan, snowmen (or women) are made from two snowballs rather than three, and the arms are never included.

The Japanese word for snowman is yukidaruma. This is a combination of the word “yuki,” which means snow, and “daruma,” which is the name for a Zen-Buddhist monk from a long time ago named Bodhidharma, who is believed to be the founder of Zen Buddhism and brought it from India to China.

Daruma dolls at a shrine

“Daruma” dolls are also round figures that are bought as good luck charms. They’re small, red dolls with no arms or legs and are modeled after Bodhidharma. They just so happen to resemble the snowmen in Japan. So, the Japanese have a good reason for having two snowballs instead of three on their snowmen. Japanese children also like to make a variation on the snowman called yukiusagi, or snow bunny, with green leaves for ears and red berries for eyes. Usagi means “rabbit” in Japanese.

Tragic Suicide of Japanese Reality Start Stirs Debate on Cyberbullying
By: Jake James
Tags: Cyber Bullying, Debate, Japan

Fans around the world were shocked to learn about the death of Japanese star Hana Kimura. The 22-year-old pro wrestler and star of Netflix reality show “Terrace House committed suicide on May 23rd.

After some initial speculations, it is now confirmed that Kimura took her own life after being subjected to constant cyberbullying. Viewers of Terrace House attacked her appearance and outspoken behavior on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Kimura’s tragic death has once again stirred up debate on cyberbullying. WWE star Bailey expressed grief about her fellow wrestler’s demise while also speaking out against online bullying “When it comes to cyberbullying — don’t do it, don’t partake in it, and do not respond to it…Stand for something better,” Bailey tweeted.

In Japan, the government is considering expanding laws against cyberbullying in wake of Kimura’s suicide. “It’s necessary to properly implement procedures to disclose information on senders in order to curb online abuses and rescue victims,” said communication minister Sanae Takaichi

The country passed a law to protect victims of online abuse nearly two decades ago. However, critics say that this had little to no effect in reducing online abuse. Japan saw a growth of online message boards in the early days of the internet where users could express their opinions from anonymous profiles. These forums are home to trolls who regularly target celebrities and public figures.

“Japan has an extremely different internet culture than most countries,” says Alex Reynolds of EMUCoupon. “This can get extremely serious on these forums which allow people to comment from anonymous profiles.”

In light of Kimura’s death, Japan is once again considering stepping up its efforts to police online comments. But like with other countries struggling to deal with internet abuse, the issue of online bullying often gets tangled up with a free speech. Cyberbullying takes different forms and is hard to define. This raises concerns that any legislation around this issue might be used to unnecessarily curb freedom of expression.

Regardless, the unfortunate incident surrounding Hana Kimura has once again highlighted that online abuse isn’t something that should be taken lightly. According to research, American youth from age 12 to 17 facing online bullying are two times more likely to commit suicide.

While legislation like the one passed by the Japanese is a necessary step in combating this scourge, there should be a collective international effort in order to improve internet culture. Everything from awareness campaigns to social media platforms themselves taking more strict action against online trolls can go a long way.

Hana Kimura’s death could serve as a wake call to authorities, online communities, and institutions to take on cyberbullying head-on. Doing this might prevent tragedies like this from occurring in the future.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Machine Market Size Worth $394.9 Million By 2027
By: Gaurav Shah
Tags: Japan, Medical Devices, Spain, Russia, China

The global extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine market size is expected to reach USD 394.9 million by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a CAGR of 4.5% over the forecast period. The market is primarily driven by the increasing incidence of cardiopulmonary and respiratory diseases, and technological advancements in the field of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) procedures. Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death globally. According to WHO, 17.9 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2016. In addition, according to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization, a total of 45,035 patients globally suffered from respiratory illnesses in 2016. Increasing awareness about ECMO procedures, coupled with various government initiatives, is further propelling the market for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machines.

The increasing survival rate of cardiac and respiratory patients undergoing ECMO machine-supported surgery is also driving the ECMO machine market. The application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine in procedures has increased over the years. This machine was traditionally used in cases of circulatory or respiratory failure. However, its applications have expanded to be used as rescue therapy for post-organ transplantation and sepsis and in cases of heart failure. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machines has been rising gradually worldwide owing to its benefits such as acting as an artificial lung for patients and growing awareness about its use. Moreover, increasing healthcare expenditure by government and private agencies in order to improve healthcare facilities are fueling the market for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machines. According to the American Heart Association, medical expenditure related to CVDs is expected to reach USD 960 billion by 2030, rising from USD 320 billion in 2011.

Suntory Yamazaki Distillery// サントリー山崎蒸留所
By: Nicole Love
Tags: Review, Whiskey, Japan, Travel, Whisky

“I want to create a perfect whisky that reflects the nature of Japan and the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.”

- Shinjiro Torii @ Yamazaki, 1923

Uisge-beatha Na h-Alba// ウィスキー// Whisk(e)y

Assuming one begins their journey at Kyoto Station, the Suntory Yamazaki Distillery is a 15–20 minute ride on the local JR train line and another 10 minute walk from Yamazaki Station along a picturesque path at the base of Mount Tennōzan. The distillery itself sits where the Katsura, Uji and Kizu Rivers meet, tucked within the mountainside; providing the whisky maker and drinker with a pure base for the spirit and an impeccable vantage point to witness the surrounding region.

The brick laden shrine to this new generation of whisky hides amidst endless trees between the Kyoto and Osaka prefectures, with mineral water so pristine it has attracted generations of craftsmen and entrepreneurs. Close to 100 years ago, Yamazaki beat out several competing regions as Shinjiro Torii’s chosen location for his revolutionary endeavor: craft the first domestic whisky utilizing the abundance of Japan’s natural resources.

A century later, the Yamazaki 12 yr became the first Japanese whisky to win gold at the ISC (International Spirits Challenge) in 2003 — much to the personal chagrin of Scotch lovers globally. But it’s undeniable that Torii succeeded by celebrating the spirit that inspired him, and reinventing the beloved tradition utilizing Japanese craft and superhuman discipline perfected for the Japanese palette.

The Whisky Library

As a bibliophile and Scotch-lover, the conclusion of Yamazaki distillery’s history lesson was almost too stunning to comprehend. After learning of our hero’s inspirations and disciplines, the many iterations of advertising and innovation, and consequences of politics and war on our beloved spirit; one enters an amber hue-d shrine to the over 500 year saga of whisky.

Row after row lies expertly designed (and compulsively organized) glass vessels containing several thousand samples of whisky, from every whisky making region under the sun. The exhibit is beautiful in its simplicity and awe-inspiring in the obvious dedication the makers of Yamazaki have to education and innovation. Like anything Japanese craftsmen and women do — they do it the right way, regardless of how long it takes to do so.

Eating Puffer-Fish (Fugu) In Japan

Desert (Lemon Sherbet)

If you enjoy alcohol, they have this special puffer-fish fin Japanese sake (天然ひれ酒）. It costs 1500 yen and is quite strong. It has a unique taste to it and is only served at Fugu restaurants. I definitely recommend it if you enjoy Japanese sake. They personally burn the Fugu in front of you in the alcohol to give it more taste.

Fugu Sake @Japanese Lifestyle

Fugu Sake Menu

Review

I have to say that it was kind of scary eating fugu but the last person who died from it was over 20 years ago. It is still a bit scary to try. As for the taste, it really just tasted like regular fish. My Japanese colleague and his son both prefers the hotpot/nabe. However, the senbei/cracker and the sashimi really had no taste. A bit disappointing since it costs so much. If you enjoy exotic foods then you should definitely try Fugu but don’t have super high expectations or you will be disappointed for sure. If you rather eat something more tasty and cheap then I recommend Tonkotsu Ramen! It is actually the reason why I am in japan.

Below you can find the various menus that they had at the restaurant. I took pictures of every single menu so you can prepare what you want to purchase before going. Unfortunately they did not give us an English menu but they should have one.

Miyamoto’s Super Nintendo World Walkthrough
By: M.G. Siegler
Tags: Videogames, Super Nintendo World, Japan, Amusement Parks, Nintendo

Fast forward to 29:40 — for some reason, Nintendo uploaded this with nearly 30 minutes of blank space. But when you do, you’ll be in for a real treat. A walk-through of the new Super Nintendo World theme park at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka — by Shigeru Miyamoto himself!

It’s so fun. And no one seems to be having more fun than Miyamoto himself. Such joy. Such wonder. Like a child.¹ “Oh this? It’s popcorn!”²

Also pay attention the “Power Up Bands”, as The Verge notes:

Miyamoto showed how you can you use a special smart wristband, called the “Power-Up Band,” to interact with different parts of the zone. In one example, he punched a question mark block with the hand wearing the device, and the block made the classic Mario coin-collecting sound. In another moment, Miyamoto hit a POW block near a spinning Koopa shell at the right time to make it bounce up and collect a key coin. The band links to your smartphone so you can track your activities around the park.

Again, so fun. Also note Miyamoto talking about the process and attention to detail Nintendo paid with their physical toys sold at the park (at the ‘1-Up Factory’). This is why Nintendo is Nintendo.
Two Wheeler Hub Motor Market Size Worth $16.9 Billion By 2027
By: Gaurav Shah
Tags: France, Japan, Electric Vehicles, China, Germany

The global two wheeler hub motor market size is expected to reach USD 16.9 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 9.7%, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand for electric two-wheelers and stringent government regulations for reducing the carbon footprint is projected to market growth. Furthermore, improved vehicle performance, reliability, and driving range are some factors that are projected to influence the demand for hub motors over the next seven years.

The increasing rate of environmental degradation through vehicular emissions has become a key concern for governments across the globe. Therefore, several governments are taking steps to promote the shift from traditional vehicles to eco-friendly transportation. Hence, the government has announced incentives on road tax, purchase tax, import tax, and low or zero registration fee for electric two-wheelers for both manufacturers and end-users. Moreover, substantial investments from automakers are estimated to cater to the increasing demand for electric two-wheelers. This, in turn, is expected to play a crucial role in the evolution of the market.

Asia Pacific dominated the two wheeler hub motor market in 2019 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is majorly driven owing to the presence of electric two-wheeler and motor manufacturers in China. The country accounts for over 70.0% of the overall electric two-wheeler market in the region. Moreover, the growth in the electric two-wheeler industry in India, South Korea, and Japan is anticipated to trigger the demand for in-wheel motors.

Furthermore, several government regulations to promote the adoption for electric two-wheelers is one of the vital factor influencing the regional market growth. For instance, in 2018, the government of India increased financial support valued at USD 1.3 billion for electric vehicles under its FAME II program. The step was aimed at providing the demand-side incentives for electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, cars, and buses. Such initiatives are anticipated to fuel the growth of the market from 2020 to 2027.

The market is fragmented in nature owing to the presence of several key manufacturers. However, the prominent electric two-wheeler manufacturers usually undergo strategic agreements with their suppliers to bridge the demand and supply gap of the industry. Some of the significant manufacturers in the market are NTN Corporation; Robert Bosch GmbH; QS Motors; and Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG.

China remembers Nanjing massacre as the region’s years of peace look increasingly fragile
Tags: World War II, Japan, History, Communism, China

China marked the 83rd anniversary of the Nanjing massacre last Sunday in a formal remembrance of the atrocities suffered in the country’s east under Japanese occupation.

From 1937 until the end of World War Two in 1945, Japanese Imperial troops violently suppressed huge swathes of China. The massacre in Nanjing, China’s capital at the time, involved the rape and murder of tens of thousands of people. Some estimates put the number in the hundreds of thousands.

The Communist Party of China took a forward-looking tone at the ceremony. Senior party official Chen Xi said the Nanjing massacre was “ an inhuman act” but that the remembrance helped to “ open a new chapter in our future”.

China’s sacrifice in the struggle against fascism is often underplayed in history books.

China had the second-highest casualty count after the Soviet Union in World War Two. The damage this caused to the infrastructure, coffers and people of China played a huge role in the hardships of the following decades.

For decades, the Japanese government apologised profusely for the atrocities inflicted across East Asia during the war. During recent years, however there’s been an insurgence among the far-right in Japan.

The recently departed Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, often took an inflammatory tone and brashly contradicted the prior apologies. Early on in his role he claimed, “ things that happen between countries appear different depending on which side you’re looking from” and that Class A war criminals “ are not criminals under the law of Japan”.

A 2010 poll found that 58% of South Koreans “ believe Japan has not apologised sufficiently “ for its actions. Beijing too has criticised Tokyo’s change of tone in recent years.

Tensions have threatened to escalate in the East China Sea as nations dispute their rights to maritime areas that come within the standard 200-mile demarcation line from multiple countries’ coast.

The pacifist constitution imposed on Japan after World War Two increasingly looks like memorabilia as military spending skyrockets and the collaboration with American imperialism grows.

China’s policy of non-interference has mostly kept Beijing out of foreign conflict since the imperialist occupation of Nanjing in 1937. As hostile powers continue to surround Beijing, it hopes to move forward, leaving the atrocities of war as an important memory.

Tissue Diagnostics Market Worth $6.6 Billion By 2027

The global tissue diagnostics market size is anticipated to reach USD 6.6 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Accelerating demand for automated tissue diagnostic systems due to the lack of skilled pathologists has driven the market. The advent of advanced imaging techniques, such as autofluorescence, that minimize the need for invasive diagnostics further supplement market growth.

The digitalization of tissue diagnostic techniques has resulted in the improvement of workflows and better patient care. Ongoing strategic models taken-up by key companies to enhance the efficiency of diagnostics also drives the market. For instance, in December 2019, Philips collaborated with Paige to provide clinical-grade artificial intelligence-based solutions to pathology laboratories. This enhanced the speed and accuracy of cancer diagnostics in laboratories.

Tissue diagnostic techniques, such as immunohistochemistry (IHC) or in situ hybridization, are used in companion diagnostics (CDx) to determine the quantity of a target analyte present in the sample. Introduction of CDx tests, such as the launch of the VENTANA HER2 Dual ISH CDx

Buddhism is transmitted to Japan

From Kudara to Japan

Buddhism was introduced to Japan in 552, when a Buddha statue and “Kyoron” (a Buddhist scripture) from Kudara (now the Korean Peninsula) were dedicated to the 29th Emperor Kinmei. It is written in a Japanese historical site called “Nihon Shoki”.

At that time, Shinto was the only teaching in Japan, of course, but Smallpox spread. Politics has become unstable. Knowing that China and other countries that adopted Buddhism are evolving, a debate arose in Japan about whether to spread Buddhism.

https://shrinesandtemples.com/292/

Soga-shi and Mononobe-Shi

Soga-shi and Mononobe-Shi discussed whether to spread Buddhism.

However, Soga-shi, who accepts Buddhism approval, and Mononobe-Shi, who disapprove Buddhism, deepened the conflict.

There was a battle succeeding Emperor Yomei of the thirty-first generation. At that time, Monobe-shi died. The death of Monobe-shi triggered the religion of Buddhism.

Shotoku Taishi joined the army defeating Mononobe-shi, at which time Buddhism spread. Shotoku Taishi has established Hokkoji and Horyuji Temples.

In addition, the spread of Confucianism and the Article 17 Constitution (indicating the moral norms of bureaucrats and aristocrats), which contained many Buddhist ideas, had a deep connection and great influence with the imperial family .

Landscape architecture is the profession that invented the urban park system. But it has also been a tool for racist displacement and elitism. Can it be anti-racist? Can it help humanity adapt to changing climates? Discuss.
【Culture】Why online drinking party waned

【Culture】Why online drinking party waned

When the Japanese government declared the state of emergency, we were surprised and glad that it's nothing but a solution of communication!

So many merits for online drinking party

Corona oriented: We can dispense with meeting people and prevent each other from being infected with corona.

Wherever we are: Across the world we can connet as long as the online infrastructure has been established, time difference is still a hurdle though. . .

Less money to be spent: At home. Food and drinks are to be self procured. Two or three chunks of chicken, one or two canned beer. Oh below 1,000 yen!

Avoid a risk of danger: All we would never have a risk for sexual harassment, including touching a part of ones body. Especially for females, just an example being put a tablet of a medicine and being sexually abused.

However Booms gone quickly

In Japan suddenly became popular but now the third wave of corona is hitting all over the world. In Japan scarce online drinking party are being held. Boom had gone in a second. . Why?

More anxious about all other people

Online meetings are always open to public. We never could have a private consultation with someone when we don't want the talk heard by others. Neither could we talk with a person about a secret or classified information.

The agenda tends to be so shallow and everybody talks in public-consented manners.

No atmosphere to enjoy an special occasion

Why we pay money for spending time at a restaurant? We don’t just enjoy food and drinks but a indigenous atmosphere to the restaurant. At home. . In order to add an sophisticated atmosphere. . . Will you make your room equipped with Chandeliers?

Less chance to leave

In a shop and restaurant they definitely have a time restriction but at home no way to go except falling into sleep. If it could be a hell, in a online party held, a boss continuously talk about job and vision, never stop.

Online drinking party works well only when and if..

1. It’s not a casual talk and communication

2. It's with concrete agendas and time restriction

3. It’s held A small number of people, same as a phonecall

. . . It’s for just a business meeting!

So the conclusion comes that, speaking of drinking party and communication an offline party is preferred, which inferred that this is the final threshold for human beings to live as human beings.

Even in the period which we can connect each other online, human beings have something where we find value via offline.
My Japanese revision routine
By: Giulia Fois
Tags: Language Learning, Japan, Japanese, Vulcanus In Japan, Studying

In this post I’ll write about my Japanese study/revision daily routine.

Since the language school ended two weeks ago (time really does fly so fast), I decided it would be a good idea to revise a bit before going to Japan, not to find myself in the sad scenario where I can’t even communicate to ask where theトイレ is.

Moreover, a big problem of mine is that I don’t know kanji! The language school I attended was entirely focused on grammar and speaking, and I’m actually grateful about it, because I feel like learning kanji by yourself is easier than practicing speaking with no teacher helping you, especially at the beginning. The main reason why I didn’t get to learn kanji was that the language course itself took up a big chunk of my time (around 7 hours every day), and we were tested weekly about the content we were studying, so I didn’t have that much energy to dedicate to kanji. Now that I started properly focusing on kanji, on my Instagram profile (@giuliainjapan) I am writing short posts about them (approximately once every 2 days), go check them out!

Another goal of mine is for sure to keep my vocab and grammar fresh. For what concerns grammar, I’m simply going over the books again and carefully re-read each chapter. Vocabulary is a bit more tricky: during the language class I used the flashcard decks my school provided, but they didn’t include the supplementary vocabulary that were placed at the end of each chapter (some of which are pretty important, like the words for the days of the month). I decided to look for some more complete decks, and I found this one.

I use the Anki app (both on my computer and on my phone) to revise with flashcards, and I feel like it is really the best way to revise in an efficient way. In fact, Anki incorporates the spaced repetition algorithm, that basically refrains you from often revising the words you already know well, and places the emphasis on the ones that you tend to forget. This is possible thanks to the feedback you provide while revising, so make sure to be honest to Anki-san! Also, it is completely free, so I really suggest you try it out.

The following is my daily routine for Japanese revision. When I’m done revising the Genki 1 & 2 grammar I’m going to try and study a bit more on another more advanced book!

1.5 h — grammar revision (2 chapters/day)

1 h — kanji study + revision on Anki ([10 new, 15 reviews]/day)

1 h — vocab review (100 reviews/day)

My revision schedule, as you can see, tends to take up more or less 3.5–4 hours each day. Of course there are days when I’m busier and I can’t revise that much, but I feel like this pace will allow me to go to Japan as prepared as possible concerning the content I studied in the past 4 months.
