On April 7, 2013, a little over two years after the magnitude 9 Tohoku-oki Japan earthquake triggered a massive tsunami off the coast of northeastern Japan, a lone boat washed up on the shores of Crescent City, California.

Book Synopsis Portraits of Edo and Early Modern Japan by : Gerald Groemer
Download or read book Portraits of Edo and Early Modern Japan written by Gerald Groemer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a series of five portraits of Edo, the central region of urban space today known as Tokyo, from the great fire of 1657 to the devastating earthquake of 1855. This book endeavors to allow Edo, or at least some of the voices that constituted Edo, to do most of the speaking. These voices become audible in the work of five Japanese eye-witness observers, who notated what they saw, heard, felt, tasted, experienced, and remembered. “An Eastern Stirrup,” presents a vivid portrait of the great conflagration of 1657 that nearly wiped out the city. “Tales of Long Long Ago,” details seventeenth-century warrior-class ways as depicted by a particularly conservative samurai. “The River of Time,” describes the city and its flourishing cultural and economic development during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. “The Spider’s Reel” looks back at both the attainments and calamities of Edo in the 1780s. Finally, “Disaster Days,” offers a meticulous account of Edo life among the ruins of the catastrophic 1855 tremor. Read in sequence, these five pieces offer a unique “insider’s perspective” on the city of Edo and early modern Japan.
Book Synopsis Primitive Mediaeval Japanese Texts by : Frederick Victor Dickins
Download or read book Primitive Mediaeval Japanese Texts written by Frederick Victor Dickins and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Primitive Mediaeval Japanese d104s: Translated Into English With Introductions, Notes and Glossaries In preparing the present volume and its companion volume of romanized texts I have desired to assist the English reader towards some fuller understanding of the primitive and mediaeval literature of Japan than can be gathered from merely literal or imitative translations. The examples chosen are the earliest of the categories to which they respectively belong, and have been followed, more or less closely, as models, in the production of most of the purely Japanese - as distinct from Japano-Chinese - literature of later times. The first is a collection of all the long lays (nagauta or choka) of the famous Anthology (Manyoshiu) of the eighth century of our era, together with most of their tanka or hanka - mizika or kaheshi uta - or envoys. The second is the Story of the Old Bamboo Wicker-worker (Taketori no Okina no Monogatari), a romance of the tenth century; the third is Tsurayuki's celebrated preface to his Kokinshiu (Garner of Japanese Verse, Old and New), an Anthology mainly of tanka or single stanzas, of the same century, more admired, perhaps, by the Japanese than its immediate and greater predecessor, the Manyoshiu itself; and the last is the utahi or drama of the No of Takasago, the oldest, it may be, of the miracle-plays or semi-religious plays accompanied by music, mime, and dance of medieval Japan.

Book Synopsis Latino Peoples in the New America by : José A. Cobas
Download or read book Latino Peoples in the New America written by José A. Cobas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Latinos" are the largest group among Americans of color. At 59 million, they constitute nearly a fifth of the US population. Their number has alarmed many in government, other mainstream institutions, and the nativist right who fear the white-majority US they have known is disappearing. During the 2016 US election and after, Donald Trump has played on these fears, embracing xenophobic messages vilifying many Latin American immigrants as rapists, drug smugglers, or "gang bangers." Many share such nativist desires to build enhanced border walls and create immigration restrictions to keep Latinos of various backgrounds out. Many whites’ racist framing has also cast native-born Latinos, their language, and culture in an unfavorable light. Trump and his followers’ attacks provide a peek at the complex phenomenon of the racialization of US Latinos. This volume explores an array of racialization’s manifestations, including white mob violence, profiling by law enforcement, political disenfranchisement, whitewashed reinterpretations of Latino history and culture, and depictions of "good Latinos" as racially subservient. But subservience has never marked the Latino community, and this book includes pointed discussions of Latino resistance to racism. Additionally, the book’s scope goes beyond the United States, revealing how Latinos are racialized in yet other societies.

Book Synopsis The Orphan Tsunami of 1700 by : Brian F. Atwater
Download or read book The Orphan Tsunami of 1700 written by Brian F. Atwater and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A puzzling tsunami entered Japanese history in January 1700. Samurai, merchants, and villagers wrote of minor flooding and damage. Some noted having felt no earthquake; they wondered what had set off the waves but had no way of knowing that the tsunami was spawned during an earthquake along the coast of northwestern North America. This orphan tsunami would not be linked to its parent earthquake until the mid-twentieth century, through an extraordinary series of discoveries in both North America and Japan. The Orphan Tsunami of 1700, now in its second edition, tells this scientific detective story through its North American and Japanese clues. The story underpins many of today�s precautions against earthquake and tsunami hazards in the Cascadia region of northwestern North America. The Japanese tsunami of March 2011 called attention to these hazards as a mirror image of the transpacific waves of January 1700.
