creating a truly shared cultural experience throughout all social classes. Vaporis’ argument of a shared culture was exact; however, alternate attendance was more of a vehicle which created a shared culture and experience throughout the elite class of Japan. Vaporis provided limited examples of the specific effects of domain processions at the commoner level, such as using commoner inns or homes when the “procession was large or the facilities at a post station underdeveloped.” However, Vaporis…

Picture Bride, it discovers a noteworthy certain, social event ever. In the mid twentieth century, paying little respect to the triumph of Japan in World War I, militarization causes¬ heaps of poverty in the country. Moreover, the course of action, for a couple of families that had young ladies, was to send them to Japanese men in the United States, who had settled down there for a couple of years, and had a solid job to live, and make the young ladies their wives. The families assume that their…

Paul Binnie, a newly popular woodblock print artist, challenges Japanese popular thought surrounding both gender stereotypes and negative connotations of the tattoo through his unique prints. His on-and-off approach highlights the ability of tattooing to individuate and deepen the perception of those who are brave enough to bear them. In a broader sense, Binnie is commenting on how all visual art can be used to disrupt and complicate dangerous limiting stereotypes and augment the identities of…

into the economy. The traditional image of Asian countries is that they are relatively poor societies. Today Asian countries are building a huge middle class. Japan is a model among them. When it became a rich country it spread its wealth evenly throughout the country's population and that thinned the gap between poor and rich. Because Japan distributes the wealth equally the people have a sense of fairness and that adds to the stability and civility of their society.…

defined as a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness. Ian Rowley, correspondent based in BusinessWeek's Tokyo bureau said that for first-time visitors to Japan, it soon becomes apparent this is a country with a rare talent for big infrastructure projects. Its roads, although congested in urban areas, are nearly always billiard-table smooth. Japan's vast rail network, including the bullet trains…

my liking because I don’t really read about religious things that much. So this was much out of my comfort zone. It starts out with on how Japan is still the highest of currencies. This is after all of the recessions have happened. I was surprised because Japan and China help Americas out by some much. It seems like a lot of the east countries like Asia, Japan, China, etc. are doing very well. Well as in, they are not having money problems, no crime, and everything is really good. To begin…

characteristics that define these groups most prevalently affected by discrimination are race, religion, age, and sex. However even the minutest physical characteristics, like hair color, can give reason for this baseless prejudice. Early records in japan indicate an “untouchable” social class that occupied undesirable jobs like tending to the dead and butchery. Since the Japanese Edo Period from 1600 to 1867, there has existed a strict social hierarchy. In the lowest rung of this hierarchy are…

two cultures are as different as any two cultures can be. In this section three key differences will be discussed between American and Japanese culture. The author will also discuss barriers of sharing the gospel in the Japanese culture. First, Japan is a collectivist nation (Rogers and Steinfatt, 87). This means that Japanese citizens are group minded. When a decision in is made in Japanese culture there is a great deal of time spent on considering what is best for the group as a whole. This…

Literacy has broader implications of the word than the definition in the dictionary. The reason why I recalled the moment of a middle school class in Korea is also related to impacts of literacy. That is because backgrounds and experiences of a person determine literacy of the person. Since I learned shallow definition of English words in Korea, sometimes I misunderstand lectures. These kinds of situations might be seen as one of 'literacy events ' due to different backgrounds. "Literacy…
