Good Points

★Blogging made me a practice to write English periodically.

☆Watching "Spirited Away" made me compare how the lines are expressed in English to the Japanese lines.
(Different from the Japanese version!! I like the voice of Haku, which is acted by Jason Marsden. :-D)

★Vocabulary notebooks made me learn new words and make sentences to input the definitions of the words I don't know easier.

Points to be improved

★Handouts should be prepared to understand lectures better.

☆Time management should be reviewed in order to do more activities (such as time for reading, blogging) efficiently.

Thank you for the 2nd semester, Mr. Richardson. I will keep blogging and hope I can see you around at the campus.

The History of the Meiji Era

The Meiji era is one of the most important periods throughout Japanese history. During this period, many Japanese were influenced by Europeans since Japan was isolated from other countries until the Meiji Restoration. This is the beginning of Japans present Western lifestyles. The history of the Meiji Era can be classified on the basis of European styles influence on Japan.

After the Tokugawa shogunate collapsed, the new government led by leaders of the Satsuma and Choushu domain changed Japan from a feudal to a capitalist society, in which many Japanese citizens felt reluctant to accept Western influence. This period is called the Meiji Restoration. The restoration first began when the Black Ships led by Commodore Matthew Perry arrived and demanded that Japan should open their country in 1853. The new government introduced Western styles in politics with a mixture of ancient Japanese institutions. In addition, the Imperial Constitution (Meiji Constitution) promulgated in 1889 and abolished in 1945, was based on the German Constitution. Hirobumi Ito, the first prime minister of Japan studied in Germany in order to draft the Meiji Constitution.

The economy and business climate during the Meiji period has also changed. According to Wikipedia, “There were at least two reasons for the speed of Japan's modernization: the employment of over 3,000 foreign experts (called o-yatoi gaikokujin or ‘hired foreigners') in a variety of specialist fields such as teaching English, Science, engineering, the army and navy etc.; and the dispatch of many Japanese students overseas to Europe and America, based on the fifth and last article of the Charter Oath of 1868: ‘Knowledge shall be sought throughout the world so as to strengthen the foundations of Imperial rule.'” Also, Wikipedia says that The Meiji Restoration accelerated industrialization in Japan, which led to its rise as a military authority by the year 1905, under the slogan of "Enrich the country, strengthen the military" (fukoku-kyouhei). From this point, Japan became the first industrialized and capitalist country in Asia.

The culture, especially lifestyle of the Japanese changed remarkably. It is not too much to say that it is the most point influenced by Europeans. For example, the streets of Tokyo, especially Ginza, had petroleum lights, carriages and brick walled buildings. Rich people wore long dresses and suits, ate Western food such as beef and participated in ballroom dances which Japanese during the Edo era had never done before. Not only citizens, but also painters, writers and architects were inspired by Europeans during this period. Many workers and craftsmen studied abroad to show citizens about the outside world. There are many Western paintings, sculptures and architectures created by Japanese, which still exists right now. In addition, many foreigners came to Japan to teach their culture, points of view and life-styles.

From these points, many Japanese were influenced by Europeans and other foreign countries. Japan was the first country to modernize and enlighten their nation in Asia. If Japan was still an isolated country, there would not be a modern and Western life like in present, which the new government and many people such as artists, authors, craftsmen, workers and citizens accepted as the new style. The people recognized that the nation must change its circumstances and expand their point of views and minds in order to live on and for the future of Japan. The history of the Meiji Era can be told by the influences that the Europeans and foreigners gave to Japanese.

2) Responding to the plot
“So are women; don’t blame John till you see where you are wrong yourself.” (page429)

This is Mrs. March’s words responding Meg’s complaint, “Men are very selfish, even the best of them.” After Meg gets married to John Brook and bears twins, she complains that John comes home late continually meeting the Scotts’ and Meg always had to do the hardest work at home not having her own free time. As Meg has vanity, she often envies her friend, Sallie Gardiner that she is rich and has anything she wants while Meg cannot afford what she wants even after she got married. Meg’s vanity came out and once complained to John that she wants to have luxurious items like Sallie. 　Meg thought that her mother would sympathize her. Unfortunately,　Mrs. March told Meg to think about John’s feelings and what she did to him before she complains or take any action.
I thought that Mrs. March’s points of view towards people are very broad and she can say such words to her daughter because Mrs. March always thinks of others before she takes action. Women may think men are selfish and difficult to understand, but men would also think like that. From Mrs. March’s words, I understood that being patient, forgiving and thinking of others before yourself is another meaning of loving your husband, wife or anyone who cares about you. I think this is a very important quotation that you should always keep in mind when you take action because we often blame others before we think about ourselves whether we did something wrong.

3) Analyzing 7 literary Terms
Setting: United States of America.　　After the Civil War (1861-65)

Point of View: This story is told from omniscient.

Conflict: The March Girls vs. flaws in character
Each girl had to overcome flaws in character; Meg’s vanity, Jo’s short-tempered, Beth’s shyness and Amy’s selfishness. Each girl faces problems because of their flaws in daily life.

Climax: Each girl has different paths of life after they grow up as an excellent woman; Meg gets married to John Brook and has twins, Jo got married to Professor Friedrich and opens a homelike school for boys, Beth passed away from the aftereffects of scarlet fever and Amy gets married to Laurie, who was a rich young man and lived next door to the March family during childhood.

Symbol: “guidebooks”
Each March girl was given a “guidebook” as a Christmas present from Mrs. March. The “guidebook” which are copies of the New Testament, and “The Pilgrim’s Progress” (Written by John Bunyan) were guidelines for the girls to　become an excellent woman.

Irony: Jo refused Laurie’s proposal even though they were intimate friends because of her pride to her studies and short-tempered character.

Theme: family relations
Even though the March girls each led a different life, they never forgot that they were always together and often met each other as if they were living together like childhood. Family relations and events are mainly written and also tells that family relations and loving each other is important than anything even if you are poor or in a tough situation.

4) Reflecting on the story
As I wrote in the “Irony”, I was very surprised that Jo refused Laurie’s proposal even though they were intimate friends and Laurie married to Amy in the end. I had thought that Jo and Laurie would get married when I was reading (part1). As Jo is a tomboy, she didn’t think that Laurie would even love her and thought him as a good friend. Unfortunately in the other hand, Laurie loved Jo ever since he met her during childhood.
I understand both characters’ feelings. If I were Jo, I might have also refused Laurie’s proposal because I would had been with him and cared about him as a friend. Also, I would rather do hard what I’m found of, than getting married and have children. On the other hand, if I was in Laurie’s place, I might also become passionate to tell how much I love that person. I was also surprised that Laurie had been keeping his love as a secret for many years until his proposal.

Page100:”I’ve been trying to cure it for forty years, and have only succeed in controlling it. I am angry nearly every day of my life, Jo; but I have learned not to show it; and I still hope to learn not to feel it, though it may take me another forty years to do so.”

This is Mrs. March’s words to Jo’s question, “Why are you never angry?”. Jo had a fight with Amy and could not forgive her because Amy burned Jo’s books which she had been working on for a long time. Jo was a short –tempered girl and she could not control her anger or other emotions. For Jo, her mother seemed to be kind and generous to her daughters and people around her and never got angry or emotional because of her personal situations. I thought Mrs. March was a wise mother raising four girls not showing her emotions and enduring the hard situation the family was facing.　　Not only Mrs. March had cared about her daughters, she even cared about the poor family living near-by the March family. On Christmas day, she decided to give their breakfast and share blankets and other supplies to the poor family even though the March family did not have enough for themselves. I was impressed how Mrs. March showed her generosity and I thought I should model my actions on hers.

Each girl had to struggle to overcome flawｓ in character; Meg’s vanity, Jo’s short-tempered, Beth’s shyness and Amy’s selfishness, in order to become a good woman in any position they are placed.

As the title, the March Girls grow up each time they experience pleasant, bitter events and incidents through their daily life and become “Little Women”.

Irony: Though the March family was rich at first, Mr. March had helped pay debts for his unscrupulous friends, which led the family into poverty.

Theme: This story is about family relationships and family life which tells that no matter how rich or poor situation you are in, you must accept and overcome your bad personalities and become a kind, devoted, splendid woman at any social position you are placed in the future.

4) Reflecting on the story
The story starts with Jo’s complaint, “Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents.” which was an impressing starting for me. The March Girls endured from poverty and waited for their father to come home safely from the Civil War, even though many other girls around their age were enjoying a pleasant Christmas like they used to spend before the March family got poor.
As I researched Alcott’s life, this story is based on her childhood with her three other sisters. Alcott’s father also used to call his daughters “Little Women”, not only meaning that they are young girls but also meaning that they are growing up each day and becoming an excellent woman for the future. I agree with Alcott’s view how woman should become in the future and I finally knew why this masterpiece enchanted many girls for many years.

“Moves afoot to limit numbers of taxis/ Transport ministry hopes to put a stop to reckless driving and scramble for fares”
Daily Yomiuri Online ８ Dec, 2008

1B4 Anna Inaba

Written Summary:
According to this article, the Construction and Transport Ministry task force has released a draft to introduce the system to reduce the number of taxis in areas that have seen an excessive rise in cab numbers, 110 places nationwide such including Osaka, Sendai and Tokyo. The ministry will submit the bills to the ordinary Diet session that will convene at the beginning of next year and aims to put the system into affect from fiscal 2010.
This system is concerned that it will suppress competition of services. However, some fear the system could lead more rigid fares for passengers and dismiss many drivers. In fact, the declinations of drivers’ income lead drivers to scramble for customers and reckless driving. Taxi driving is a major source of employment, and many drivers could lose jobs should the number of taxis be cut while the economy is in recession.

Opinion Statement:
I think it is a good movement to decrease the number of taxi cabs for the hope to stop reckless driving and scramble fares. I also think is a movement to avoid air pollution. But it is concerning that this system may become a problem for the drivers losing their jobs, and for passengers to catch cabs.

Discussion Questions:
1. How often and when do you use taxis?
2. Do you agree with this article? Why or why not?
3. What kind of provisions can you come up to avoid inconvenience of public transportation?

Vocabulary:
afoot: (事が)起って、進行して；計画中で
excessive: 過度の、極端な
deem: ～だと考える、思う

Quebec City and Montreal

1B4　Anna Inaba

Quebec City and Montreal are both located in the Province of Quebec, Canada. Both cities use French as their official language and few people use English. They have many similar and different points.

For example, a French explorer, Samuel de Champlain cannot be excluded when talking about the history of these cities. Champlain founded Quebec on July 3, 1608, at the sight of a long abandoned St. Lawrence Iroquoian settlement called Stadacona. To this settlement, the name of the city refers to “Canada”. While in Montreal, 70 years after a French explorer, Jacques Cartier visited the village of Hochelaga insisting the St. Lawrence “The Valley for France” in October 2, 1535, Champlain reported that the St. Lawrence Iroquoians had disappeared from the St. Lawrence Valleys due to the fact that there were inter-tribal wars, European diseases and out-migration. In 1611, Champlain instituted a fur trading post on the Island of Montreal, on the site initially named La Place Royal.

Another similar point is their historical buildings which are the beauty of both cities. In Quebec City, the Château Frontenac Hotel is the most famous historic hotel in Canada. Near the Château Frontenac is the Notre-Dame de Quebec Cathedral which is the mother church of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec and the premarital church of Canada.　Beside the hotel, there is Terrasse Dufferin which is a walkway along the edge of the cliff giving beautiful views of the St. Lawrence. It leads to the Plains of Abraham, the Citadelle of Quebec and the National Assembly are some places where you can see the history of the city with your own eyes. Near the Citadelle of Quebec, the Ramparts which surround most of Old Quebec were declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the “Historic District of Old Quebec”. Montreal was the industrial and financial center of Canada for over a century and a half. The variety of buildings including factories, warehouses, mills and refineries provides a legacy of historic and architectural interest, especially in the downtown and the Old Port area. Today there are still many historical buildings such as the Notre-Dame de Montréal Basilica, Bonsecoures Market and the 19th century headquarters of Canadian banks located in Saint Jacques Street. In 2006, Montreal was also recognized as a UNESCO City of Design, one of the three world design capitals.

Both cities have many beautiful places to see but each city has original festivals which are different points. Quebec City is well known for its Winter Carnival and Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day celebrations. The Montmorency Falls and the Basilica of Saint-Anne-de-Beaupré are also the attractions for tourists. The Winter Carnival was established by the idea from the climate of Quebec which is characterized as cold and snowy winters. In Montreal, many festivals are held as it is the heart of classical art and the cultural center of Quebec. The Place des Arts is compounded by different concert and theatre halls surrounding a large open-spaced square in the downtown. Many concerts are held here and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra is well-known. The plaza of the Place des Arts is the home of the most important events during several musical festivals such as the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Montreal Francofolies. In addition, Just for Laughs Festival, a comedy festival held in French and English and the Montreal Fireworks Festival is the most popular festival in terms of attendance. There are many festivals and parades which men and women of all ages can enjoy in Montreal.

Though there are many similar and different points between Quebec City and Montreal, both cities attract many tourists around the world by their beauty of historical buildings, modern landscapes which are recognized as a world heritage and their mixture of French and Canadian culture. These are the most common points you can enjoy and discover when visiting these two cities.

Golden, Arthur. Memoirs of a Geisha: Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 428 pages, 1997

Summary: Sakamoto Chiyo was born in Yoroido, a poor fishing village. Since she was poor and her parents couldn’t　take care of her and her sister, a wealthy man named Tanaka Ichiro sold Chiyo to an okiya, a geisha house in Kyoto for slavery.　　Tanaka thought that leaving a beautiful girl like Chiyo in a poor village was nothing for her life. Her sister was also sold to another okiya and Chiyo was forced to work as a maid of Hatsumomo, the cruel and selfish geisha in the Nitta Okiya. Later then, she receives a letter from Mr. Tanaka noticing that her parents passed away. Chiyo was desprate and alone, nothing to live on until she meets Iwamura Ken, the Chairman of Iwamura Electric who changes Chiyo’s life to become one of the top geishas in Gion. After she meets Iwamura, she becomes a “Younger Sister” of Mameha, one of the most famous geishas in Japan and trains her skills even though Hatsumomo still does cruel things to her. As she becomes a successful geisha by the age of 16, Chiyo’s name was changed to Nitta Sayuri. Sayuri never forgot about Iwamura and secretly fell in love for 18 years since her encounter with him. Coincidently, Sayuri had many chances to entertain at parties of Iwamura Electric. During W.W.Ⅱ, Sayuri lived and worked sewing parachutes with a family called Arashino. Also, she had two “Danna”s but couldn’t give up loving Iwamura. After W.W.Ⅱ, Iwamura confessed that he was the one who asked Mameha to make her become one of the top geishas and waited Sayuri for 18 years to be her “Danna”. After his proposal, Sayuri spent the rest of her life living in New York City, opening her teahouse for Japanese businessmen and politicians.

Setting: Kyoto, Japan. During the Great Depression to the end of W.W.Ⅱ

Point of View: This story is told from the first person.

Conflict: Sayuri vs. Hatsumomo
Hatsumomo hated Sayuri ever since Sayuri came to the Nitta Okiya. She always thought what would make Sayuri’s life miserable and drive her out from Gion.

Climax: After Mameha, one of the most known geisha in Japan becomes Chiyo‘s “Older Sister”, Chiyo success to become one of the top geishas and changes her name to Nitta Sayuri, and drives Hatsumomo out from Gion.

Symbol: Kimono, tea ceremony, dance, shamisen, nagauta, tsutsumi.
These are the skills maids learn at school to become a geisha which represents some of the Japanese culture.

Irony: Sayuri couldn’t reach to Iwamura who she was secretly in love with for 18 years, even though she met and entertained him at many parties. Other men propose Sayuri to be her “Danna”, but not Iwamura.

Theme: The theme of the book is “To overcome problems by bearing and improving your skills and make the best use of your ability and charm.” At first, Chiyo was always tricked by Hatsumomo and got into trouble during her days as a maid in the okiya, and even after becoming a geisha, Sayuri was bothered by Hatsumomo with her make-up stories to worsen Sayuri’s reputation. But in the end, thanks to Mameha, Sayuri endured and improved her skills to become the top geishas, which made Mother decide to adopt Sayuri and drive Hatsumomo out from Gion.

Evaluation: Though the story is very long, the vocabularies were not difficult than I expected so I did not have any difficulties reading it. The expressions were beautiful and there were many figures of speech to picture the scenes easily. Also, reading this book was a wonderful opportunity to know what a geisha’s life is like. As the author of the book is American, it was written precisely so that foreign people can image and understand the Japanese culture even if they have not been to Japan before. My favorite scene which is the ending when Iwamura confessed that he was the one who asked Mameha to be Sayuri’s “Older Sister” to train her to become one of the top geishas and waited Sayuri for 18 years to be her “Danna”, which was when Sayuri finally reached to Iwamura. From this scene, I was surprised how pure Sayuri’s heart was for wishing her love to come true for many years. I would recommend this book especially who likes Japanese culture and girls who are wishing for their love would come true someday like Sayuri.

The Sphinx of Delft

1B4 Anna Inaba

Johannes Vermeer (Jan Vermeer) was one of the famous Dutch painters in the 17th century. Relatively little is known about his life. Some registers and a few official documents are the only sources of information. This is why Vermeer was named “The Sphinx of Delft” by Thoré-Bürger, a French art critic.

Vermeer was born in 1632, in Delft the Netherlands. The precise date of his birth is unknown but it is known that he was baptized on October 31st 1632 in the Reformed Church in Delft. In 1652, after his father, Reynier Vermeer died, Johannes inherited the Mechelen, a large inn which the Vermeer family bought in Delft, and became a merchant of paintings as his father.

Vermeer became a member of the Guild of Saint Luke, a trade association for painters in 1653. Though he was apprenticed as a painter, it is not certain where or whom he studied with. It is generally believed that he learned in Delft and he was taught by either Carel Fabritius (1622-1654) or Leonaert Bramer (1596-1674).

In 1662 he was elected as the head of the guild and reelected in 1663, 1670 and 1671, evidence that he was considered as an established craftsman among his peers, and a respectable middle-class citizen.

Despite the fact that Vermeer was a successful painter in Delft, it is said that he had many financial difficulties. After a severe economic downturn which demands for luxurious items such as paintings decreased struck the Netherlands in 1672 (so-called rampjaar), Vermeer’s both businesses as a painter and an art dealer damaged consequently. Vermeer got into dept for this tragedy and died in 1675, leaving his wife and eleven children with very little money and several debts.

Vermeer has left paintings which are well-known today. Most of his works are mostly about ordinary life of Dutch society in the 17th century, from the portrayal of a milkmaid at work to the luxury and splendor of notables and merchants. Religious and scientific connotations can also be found in his works. The most famous paintings may be the “Milkmaid” (1658-1660) and the “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (1665). Vermeer mainly paints many women as a model but the “Milkmaid” is the only painting which portrays a woman who works. This painting was exhibited in Ueno, Japan in 2007. “Girl with a Pearl Earring” is also called the “Mona Lisa of the North”. It became famous by the novel “Girl with a Pearl Earring” written by Tracy Chevalier in 2000. This painting does not have any stories or lessons, unlike the other paintings. It was also exhibited in Osaka, Japan in 2000.

Even though Vermeer is now famous all over the world, he was virtually forgotten for nearly 200 years. In 1866, Thoré-Bürger published an essay attributing 66 pictures to Vermeer. Today 35 are only firmly attributed. Since that time, Vermeer’s reputation has grown and now acknowledged as one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age, and is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work. His marvelous works inspire us and will inspire the next generations.
