Brain death and organ transplants debates in Japan are examined from the view point of comparative culture *The sign shows the page numbers of [Previous page / Next page] in the original journal/book. 1. Brain death and Japanese society The word "bioethics" appeared in the United States in the early 1970s, and spread to other advanced countries in the 1980s. Japan was no exception. Through powerful patients' rights movements and fierce debates on brain death in the 1980s, Japanese society has realized the importance of bioethical ideas and bioethical ways of thinking. Today, "informed consent" is a key concept among human rights activists in the field of medical care. At the same time, however, Japanese society seems to have showed reluctance to, for example, organ transplants from brain-dead donors. In this paper, I will illustrate how the Japanese have responded to newly imported bioethical ideas by examining their discourse on brain death and patients' rights. Through the analysis the reader will encounter a typical Asian response to modern "Western" medicine and culture.

Documentaries Genres: Human Interest and Inspiration Japanese Culture Wildlife and Nature Gourmet and Cuisine Travelogue History Japanese Culture (cont.) AKENI-Bamboo Trunks for Sumo Wrestlers 28 minutes (English/Japanese tracks) Synopsis: Kyoto craftsman Takekazu Watanabe carries considerable cultural clout. In a nation of more than 120 million people, he is the only remaining official maker of Akeni, the large, hand-made bamboo trunks used by sumo wrestlers to carry their personal belongings. Similar to the wrestler's clothing and hairstyles, akeni are a prestigious and essential element of the overall Sumo aesthetic. Although made nearly entirely of bamboo and hand-made paper, an akeni is strong enough to both carry the wrestler's belongings and endure less than delicate handling - the result of highly perfected bamboo selecting, stripping, and weaving skills. This program puts in the spotlight Watanabe's efforts to prevent the extinction of their highly respected craft. BACKSTAGE MAESTRO Parts 1 - 3 27 minutes (English/Japanese tracks) Synopsis: Visitors to Japan's thousands of hot springs are likely to stay at a traditional Japanese inn?aryokan. In recent years, however, more than 7,000 ryokan have closed their doors for lack of customers; tastes in service, food, and rooms have simply changed. And Japanese guests are notoriously finicky. One unhappy group quickly translates into a drop in future bookings. Each program shadows a ryokan consultant as he works to solve the problems at a particular inn, often facing reluctant owners and rebellious employees.

InterCommunication No.14 1995 Feature Japan through a Slovenian Looking Glass Reflections of Media and Politic and Cinema Slavoj Zizek Geert Lovink Go Japanese GL : You have been to Japan. What's your opinion on the technological culture in this country? SZ : First I must say that I don't have my own positive theory about Japan. What I do have, as every Western intellectual, are the myths of reference. There is the old, right wing image of the Samurai code, fighting to death, the absolute, ethical Japan. Then there is the leftist image, from Eisenschtein already: the semiotic Japan. The empty signs, no Western metaphysics of presence. It's a no less phantasmic Japan then the first one. We know that Eisenschtein for his montage of attractions used Japanese ideograms. Then there is Bertolt Brecht as an exception. He took over elements like sacrifice and authority, and put it in a left wing context. Here in the West, Brecht was seen as someone introducing a fanatic eastern morality. But now there's in Suhrkamp Verlag a detailed edition of his 'Jasager' and his 'Lernst ke.' They discovered that all those moments the Western critics perceived as remainders of this imperial and sacrificing Japan, were indeed edited by Brecht. What they perceived as Japanese was Brecht.

PRINCETON University Press SEARCH: Keywords Author Title More Options Power Search Search Hints E-MAIL NOTICES NEW IN PRINT E-BOOKS ... HOME PAGE Zen and Japanese Culture Daisetz T. Suzuki Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents One of this century's leading works on Zen, this book is a valuable source for those wishing to understand its concepts in the context of Japanese life and art. In simple, often poetic, language, Daisetz Suzuki describes what Zen is, how it evolved, and how its emphasis on primitive simplicity and self-effacement have helped to shape an aesthetics found throughout Japanese culture. He explores the surprising role of Zen in the philosophy of the samurai, and subtly portrays the relationship between Zen and swordsmanship, haiku , tea ceremonies, and the Japanese love of nature. Suzuki's contemplative discussion is enhanced by anecdotes, poetry, and illustrations showing silk screens, calligraphy, and examples of architecture. Review: "As one turns the pages of this delightful book, one seems to catch intimations of how and why certain aspects of the "spirit of Zen' are making themselves felt in America today. . . ."

REN The mechanism of linking in Japanese culture Yuko Tanaka Hosei University in Tokyo Read in 1993 at Nissan Institute, Oxford University. Introduction Today, I would like to talk about ren . I have been thinking about and doing research on culture in the Edo period(1603 to 1867) in Japan with reference to this term. Ren means "to connect" "to link" and "to gather together", and it refers to a basic mechanism by which a process emerges from the interaction of words, verses or stanzas, sentences, objects, and people in the culture of Japan especially in the Edo period. We can find various examples of ren in the Edo period, a lot of ren groups or the ren of haikai In today's lecture I am going to talk about ren using a number of themes. Firstly is a short explanation of haikai with typical examples ,then the origin and the history of linked poetry, followed by linked themes in a few examples of prose; fourthly linked images in paintings, then renju , which means linked people supporting ren , and finally za which means the place of ren Linked poetry As you know waka is a traditional type of Japanese poetry which has 5-7-5-7-7 syllables, and

Click buttons below to view photographs There were many opportunities to learn about and to experience the culture of Japan. Mrs. Carroll traveled with the total group of 186 at times, but most often traveled in a group of 20 people. A guide and interpreter were available at all times. Sightseeing included Tokyo, Kyoto, many temples and shrines, museums, a huge and busy fish market, restaurants, department stores, and other points of interest. The traditional dress of Japan was rarely seen in public. Most Japanese clothing was western style. The young people enjoyed shopping in "Chicago's" to buy used American style jeans, t-shirts, etc. while the tourists visited the same store to purchase used Japanese kimonos, obis, and other items of interest. Japanese food was often enjoyed three times daily with Mrs. Carroll becoming proficient in using chopsticks. Fish, miso, rice, soft eggs, and green tea were helpful in getting off to a fresh start each day. Lunch and dinner consisted of fish, meats, noodles, rice, vegetables, and green tea. During the three weeks a variety of food was desired and group members were adventuresome trying lots of Japanese foods with unknown ingredients. McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and the Hard Rock Cafe' were also explored for comparison to American models. The architecture was elegant and beautiful, very different from what is seen in the US. Space is at a premium so buildings are often very tall and close together, houses are small, gas pumps are located underground, and private yards are almost nonexistent. Yet the country has many beautiful buildings with great thought given to aesthetic considerations.

96. Singing Orthoptera In Japanese Culture, Cultural Entomology Digest 3 These customs have been popular with both the Japanese Court, which probably followingillustrations and notes show various aspects of Japan's cricket culture. http://www.insects.org/ced3/japanese_sing.html

by Robert W. Pemberton USDA-ARS, 3205 College Ave. Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33314 The cricket cage peddlar Bamboo Cages How to Raise Singing Insects Tama Zoo Show Electronic Katydid The Japanese have a long tradition of enjoying the calls of various Orthoptera, both in the wild and as caged pets (Lafcadio Hern, 1905, Exotics and Retrospectives, Little, Brown and Co., Boston). These customs have been popular with both the Japanese Court, which probably introduced some of the customs from China, and with the common people. Visiting places, known for the abundance and high quality of their singing insects, was one of the seasonal pleasures, such as cherry blossom and autumn leaf viewing. Although many of these customs have been lost or simplified with Japan's modernization, there remains a fondness for the "cries" of certain species of crickets (Gryllidae) and long-horned grasshoppers (Tettigonidae). The following illustrations and notes show various aspects of Japan's cricket culture. The cricket cage peddlar ", Kiyonaga, ca. late 1700s, (courtesy of The Art Institute of Chicago). Cricket sellers were members of an organized guild recognized by the checkerboard motif used on the cloth of their stands and kimonos. These mobile merchants sold diverse and beautifully crafted cages, including ones that resembled fans, boats and country cottages, to house the singing insects. The singing insects of commerce were both reared and collected from the wild. Cricket cage made of twigs, wire and the sheath of a bamboo shoot, ca. 1950 (courtesy of Kyushu-Tokai Univ.). This wire mesh type of cage was used for smaller crickets. The finely crafted cages of the past are now rarely made; most modern cages are clear plastic terrariums with ventilated tops. These terrariums are sold to keep and rear a few species of singing Orthoptera (mainly the bell insect, Homoeogryllus japonicus de Haan), which are also sold along with specially packaged bell insect food and soil in pet shops.

Above famous phrase was translated into Japanese by a scholar in the Japan. If it is again translated into English, It is [I should live or I should kill myself]. Although translation is not blunder , it is not accurate.Translation is impossible. Because, you are based on Christian's spirit and Rene Descarte' s rational idea. On the reverse, Japanese people have no basic spirit in the above two points. Therefore, mutual comprehension between the Japanese people and the Americans/the Europeans is very difficult.
