Book Japan  Geographical Background to Urban industrial Development

Download or read book Japan Geographical Background to Urban industrial Development written by David Henry Kornhauser and published by Longman Scientific and Technical. This book was released on 1989 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Japan has emerged in the years since the end of World War II from a basically agrarian society to its present position as one of the three leading industrial nations of the world. In this, a second edition of Professor's Kornhauser's standard work originally published under the title Urban Japan, the author examines this transformation of the Japanese landscape within an historical geographic framework. Professor Kornhauser begins with a description of the physical landscape, and then reviews the history of agricultural development and change before looking at the history of the city from the eighth century to the present time. The growing importance of a city network from the seventeenth century is emphasised but there are appropriate references to earlier periods of development and to outside influences, especially from China and Korea. The important periods in the rise of cities to dominance in the culture are stressed, with considerable discussion of the Edo Period (1600-1868), the transformations of pre-modern cities in the Meiji Period (1868-1912), and the periods before, during and after World War II. Considerable attention is paid to the effects of external influences such as wars and economic disruptions in shaping Japan's commercial successes and failures. In the concluding chapter Professor Kornhauser summarizes the changes in the Japanese landscape and examines the role of planning, especially in an urban-industrial context, and reviews the problems facing Japan at the present and in the future. For this new edition the text has been thoroughly revised to bring it right up-to-date. The book contains a selective but annotated bibliography and is profusely illustrated. This new edition will consolidate the book's position as an essential text for students and teachers of the geography of Japan, and it will be widely used in courses on urban and economic geography"--Unedited summary from book cover.

Book Geography of Religion in Japan

Download or read book Geography of Religion in Japan written by Keisuke Matsui and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-09 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses modern aspects of Japanese religion in terms of cultural geography. To understand the function of religion, it is essential to examine it in the context of local societies. One of the distinguishing characteristics of Japanese religion is its diversity; indeed, it is often remarked that “Japan is a museum of religions.” In this work, the author clarifies some geographical aspects of the complex situation of Japanese religion. Chapter 1 discusses the trend of geographical studies of religion in Japan, of which four types can be identified. Chapter 2 focuses on certain characteristics of Japanese religious traditions by discussing tree worship and the landscape of sacred places. Chapter 3 clarifies regional divisions in the catchment areas of Japanese Shintoism by analyzing the distribution of certain types of believers. The author discusses two case studies: the Kasama Inari Shrine and the Kanamura Shrine. Chapter 4 discusses some modern aspects of sacred places and tourism through two case studies. The first part of the chapter focuses on changes in the types of businesses at the Omotesando of the Naritasan Shinshoji-Monzenmachi, and the following sections examine the revitalization of the local community through the promotion of religious tourism.

This book is a useful resource for students and scholars in the fields of political geography, historical geography, cartography, diplomatic history, international relations, politics, and other related disciplines.

The book is also interesting for the general readers interested in the topic of geographical naming disputes.

Book Geography and Japan s Strategic Choices

Download or read book Geography and Japan s Strategic Choices written by Peter J. Woolley and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geography, this author contends, is the indisputably unique feature of any country. Geography and Japan's Strategic Choices begins by explaining Japan's unique location and topography in comparison to other countries. Peter Woolley then examines the ways in which the country's political leaders in various eras understood and acted on those geographical limitations and advantages. Proceeding chronologically through several distinct political eras, the book compares the Tokugawa era, the opening to the West, the Meiji Restoration, the long era of colonialization, industrialization and liberalization, the militarist reaction and World War II, the occupation, the Cold War, and finally the rudderless fin de siecle. Finally Woolley demonstrates how Japan's strategic situation in the twenty-first century is informed by past and present geo-strategic calculations as well as by current domestic and international changes. For students and scholars of U.S.-Japan relations and of Japanese history and politics, this book offers any informed reader a fresh perspective on a critical international relationship.

Looking outward, Japan sees what it has become since Hiroshima: the world's second-largest economy, a source of fury and wonder, a power without arms. Looking inward, Japan sees old ways shaken and new ones developing at a hectic pace. Japan in the Twenty-first Century offers compelling insights into the current realities of the country and investigates the crucial political, economic, demographic, and environmental challenges that face the nation. A combination of text, maps, and photographs provides an essential understanding of Japan's geography, cultural heritage, demography, economic and political development, and of many other important issues. Pradyumna P. Karan explores the obstacles and opportunities that will shape Japan and affect the world community in the coming years. He highlights strategies and policies that will facilitate economic and political change and stimulate the development of effective institutions for long-term, sustainable prosperity and economic vitality. Unique field reports drawn from direct observations of events and places in Japan illuminate Japanese traditions and sensibilities. The first full-length English-language textbook on Japan's geography, culture, politics, and economy to appear in nearly four decades, Japan in the Twenty-first Century will be a vital resource for researchers, academics, general readers, and students of Japan. Pradyumna P. Karan, professor of geography and Japan studies at the University of Kentucky, is the author or editor of numerous books on Asian geography and culture, including The Japanese City and Japan in the Bluegrass.
