From the Chair<\/h2>\n
\n

In political news, the summer and fall seasons produced shocks. The Democratic Party of Japan decisively defeated the Liberal Democratic Party at the polls in July\u2019s Upper House election. The LDP suffered its worst electoral defeat since its formation in 1955 a mere two years after its greatest electoral triumph. The DPJ thumped the LDP around the country, showing strength even in the rural areas that have traditionally been LDP strongholds. The Upper House electoral system is easier for the DPJ to compete in than the system for the more powerful Lower House, but that alone doesn\u2019t account for the DPJ\u2019s success. A string of cabinet resignations (mostly due to financial scandals) hurt, and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe\u2019s patriotic policy themes never resonated with voters much more concerned about bread-and-butter issues. What stung worse, though, was the loss of 50 million pension records. Although<\/p>\n

his predecessor, the charismatic Junichiro Koizumi, might have turned this into grist for his reform theme, Abe displayed a political tin ear by initially downplaying the scandal and appearing to side with the bureaucrats. Imagine how U.S. voters would react if the Social Security Administration lost 50 million records!<\/p>\n

Still, Prime Minister Abe clung to power despite the LDP\u2019s miserable showing in July, only to resign days after the opening of the Diet session in September, replaced by the avuncular and steady Yasuo Fukuda.<\/p>\n

The transition at the top of the Japan Studies Program was an entirely different affair. I have taken the helm in
\nan anticipated changing of the guard followed by ample training from my predecessor, Marie Anchordoguy. Marie served ably as Chair for more than six years. She presided over the expansion of the faculty and several important hires. She also developed the Program in new directions, including the establishment of this newsletter and myriad other improvements. We all owe her our thanks for her dedication and good work. This year, she is enjoying a well- deserved sabbatical to concentrate on her research. She is a tough act to follow, but her wise stewardship has made my job as Chair much easier.<\/p>\n

Here at the University of Washington, two new Japan scholars have joined the faculty: David Spafford in the Department of History, and Katherine Mezur in the School of Drama. Other Japan faculty continue to publish new books in diverse areas of the field, reflecting the wide range of research and teaching within the Program. The Japan Studies Program also welcomes Ellen Eskenazi as its new Director of Outreach and Program Development; she will be working to build an exciting year of Japan Colloquia and other events in 2007-2008. Our showcase event in 2007 was the inaugural Griffith and Patricia Way Lecture in April, which featured Dr. Ellen Conant. More details on these events and others in the year ahead are outlined in this newsletter.<\/p>\n

We appreciate your ongoing support of our activities.<\/p>\n

The Griffith and Patricia Way Lecture Series<\/strong>, in its inaugural year, featured Ellen P. Conant speaking on \u201cJapanese Painting from Edo to Meiji: Rhetoric and Reality.\u201d Her audience included more than 60 guests from other campuses in the region, interested members of the community, local collectors and art historians, and friends and family of the Ways. This annual event was endowed in 2006 through the generosity of friends and family of this Seattle couple, as well as the larger community. The mission of the series is to bring distinguished scholars to speak on subjects of particular interest to the Ways, such as Japanese art, history, and law. Professor Mary Elizabeth Berry of the University of California, Berkeley, will be the distinguished speaker for the 2008 lecture in this series on May 5. The
\ntitle of her talk is \u201cNoticing the Virtue of Things: The Obligation of Taste in Japanese Society.<\/em>\u201d Further details will be announced on the Japan Studies website as they become available.<\/p>\n

The Henry Art Gallery\u00a0<\/strong>at the University of Washington is exhibiting an array of signature projects from the studio SANAA. Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa collaborate under the SANAA name (Sejima And Nishizawa And Associates) and are among the most provocative designers practicing in the world today. Sejima was named \u201cyoung architect of the year\u201d in Japan in 1992. The exhibit includes models, building plans, photographs, and other objects to provide an intimate understanding of the dynamic relationships at play in the artists\u2019 works.

Intermediate Japanese for Heritage Learners<\/strong> was the title of a new course offered in Summer Quarter 2007 by Masashi Kato of the Technical Japanese Program. This course is intended for students of Japanese descent who have strong everyday conversation skills but want to develop solid reading and writing skills. In class, the students developed conversation skills necessary in business situations, with strong emphasis on appropriate speech levels and the cultural concepts underlying those situations. They learned strategies for accurate reading through authentic materials on topics including Communication in the IT Age, Robots in Daily Life, and Japanese Youth and American Youth. No Japanese heritage language course had previously been offered at the college level in Washington State. Kato plans to teach the same course again in summer 2008.<\/p>\n

Takashi Shinohara<\/strong>, a UW alumnus and currently a member of the House of Representatives in Japan\u2019s parliament (the Diet) with the Democratic Party of Japan, has provided an internship for UW students interested in learning about Japanese politics first-hand. Shinohara is director of his party\u2019s Policy Research Committee and is a member<\/p>\n

of the Diet\u2019s Committee on Foreign Affairs and director of the Special Committee on Political Ethics and Election Law. His constituency is in Nagano Prefecture.<\/p>\n

The East Asia Resource Center (EARC)\u00a0<\/strong>provides programs and services about East Asia to meet the professional development needs of teachers in grades K-12. Japan is a major focus for the EARC in 2008, when the celebration of the 45th anniversary of the Washington-Hyogo sister-state relationship coincides with the exchange of Washington and Hyogo teachers established by the EARC in 1992. With the support of the Freeman Foundation, 15 American teachers will spend three weeks in Japan, including an official visit to Hyogo. The EARC will also send teachers to study in Japan in 2008 on another study tour supported by the Freeman Foundation. This tour is for alumni of seminars of the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia, a consortium founded by EARC in 1998. Through this program, the EARC has provided 30-hour seminars to 1,200 teachers from 6 Northwest states in 10 years of educating teachers.<\/p>\n

The East Asia Library,<\/strong>\u00a0thanks to efforts by Japanese Studies Librarian Keiko Yokota-Carter, has added new online resources for library users, including Asahi shinbun archives for 1926\u20131945, Yomiuri shinbun archives for 1874-1960, Nikkei Telecom 21, and Okinawa Times. Also new in 2007 was a journal citation index (Magazinplus) and an academic journal index with some full text from the National Institute of Informatics.<\/p>\n

A Japan Studies Grant for Summer Internship or Research<\/strong>\u00a0has been made possible by a generous gift from a JSIS alumnus. This $2,500 award will allow a UW undergraduate or graduate student to undertake either an internship or a research project in Japan during summer 2008. The funds may be used for travel or housing and other living expenses in Japan during the internship or research.<\/p>\n
