Ancient Japan Ancient Japan to 1185 It is not known when humans first settled on the Japanese archipelago. It was long believed that there was no Paleolithic occupation in Japan, but since World War II thousands of sites have been unearthed throughout the country, yielding a wide variety of Paleolithic tools. These include both core tools, made by chipping away the surface of a stone, and flake tools, made by working with a stone flake broken off from a larger piece of stone. There is little doubt that the people who used these implements moved to Japan from the Asian continent. At one stage, land connections via what are now the Korea and Tsushima straits made immigration from the Korean peninsula possible, while another connection, via what are now the Soya and Tsugaru straits, allowed people to come in from northeastern Asia. The Paleolithic Period in Japan is variously dated from 30,000 to 10,000 years ago, although the argument has been made for a Lower Paleolithic culture prior to 35,000 BC. Nothing certain is known of the culture of the period, though it seems likely that people lived by hunting and gathering, used fire, and made their homes either in pit-type dwellings or in caves. No bone or horn artifacts of the kind associated with this period in other areas of the world have yet been found in Japan. Since there was no knowledge whatsoever of pottery, the period is referred to as the Pre-Ceramic era. Climatic changes help to account for the existence of a Mesolithic stage in early Japanese culture, a time when much of the abundant fauna of earlier times became depleted by the expanding human population of the archipelago. The introduction of the bow and arrow is regarded as a local response to a decrease in game available for food.

BUSHIDO ( SAMURAI SPIRIT = Chivalry ) is a flower no less indigenous to soil of Japan than its emblem, the cherry blossom. The conditions of society which brought it forth and nourished it have long disappeared; but as those far-off stars which once were and are not, still continue to shed their rays upon us, so the light of BUSHIDO which was a child of feudalism,still illuminates our moral path, surviving its mother institution. KABUKI Kabuki originated in the early Edo period, when a woman called Okuni of Izumo performed a Buddhist dance in an unusual costume in Kyoto. the dance was later deemed morally unacceptable,and woman were prohibited from performing it. Instead, only adult men were allowed to perform.This custom has been maintained in present-day kabuki. No originated in the art of dengaku(ritual field music and dance) and sarugaku (mimic plays) in the kamakura era; which developed as music-plays incorporating beautiful music and dance in the Muromachi era. Kyougen, on the other hand, is comedic drama. UKIYO-E A genre painting popular among the common people during the Edo period (1600-1868). Ukiyu means "pleasure-seeking," or "sensual" in Japanese, and this world was actually the subject of paintings called Ukiyo-e.Most Ukiyo-e were prints that could be mass-produced. Drawings were rare.

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.

Through the analysis the reader will encounter a typical Asian response to modern "Western" medicine and culture. First, let us take a brief look at the important events concerning brain death and transplantation in Japan. In 1967, the first heart transplant in the world from a comatose patient was performed in the Republic of South Africa. The next year, in 1968, a similar heart transplantation was performed at Sapporo Medical School by Professor Wada. The recipient patient lived for 83 days after transplantation. However, a citizens group accused Professor Wada of illegal human experimentation, and also of exercising dubious judgment with respect to the donor's (brain) death. After this incident, the phrase "heart transplantation" became taboo in Japanese society, and remained so for fifteen years.

Posted by Microage97 at 09:43 PM Comments (0) TrackBack (0) June 04, 2004 Hopefully Soon We have all been waiting for the time to come to welcome Daichi into our family. I don't think I have to say it, but we are sooo excited! I think we are going to be having this baby tomorrow, but a lady I know at work is telling me it is going to be on Wednesday. Well with these sorts of things one can never be too sure. I think we are getting well perpared for the arrival. The diapers will be here on Tuesday (hopefully) and it will take some time to get everything washed and ready to go. I know that the cloth route is proaly a little more work intensive, but I believe that it is the best/healthiest way to go. Here is a photo that Yuko took last year when we first got Ivy. Oh This is also Yuko's trade arked clouse up. In other news, I found this cool blog that you might also like.
