Anti-Foreignism and Western Learning in Early-Modern Japan

Anti-Foreignism and Western Learning in Early-Modern Japan

The “New Theses” of 1825

By: Bob Tadashi Wakabayashi

This study analyzes New Theses (Shinron) by Aizawa Seishisai (1781–1863) and its contribution to Japanese political thought and policy during the early–modern era. New Theses is found to be indispensable to our understanding of Japan’s transformation from a feudal to a modern state. Focusing on Aizawa, Bob Wakabayashi traces the development of xenophobia during the Tokugawa period and examines the basis of anti-Western sentiment. He shows how knowledge of Christianity inspired Aizawa to develop the potent concept of kokutai (“what is essential to a nation”). His analysis explains why the Edobakufu’s policies of national isolation (sakoku) and armed expulsion of Westerners (jōi) gained widespread support in the late Tokugawa. Wakabayashi also describes how information on Western affairs and world conditions decisively altered Tokugawa Confucian conceptions of civilization and barbarism, and how this in turn enabled the Japanese to redefine their nation’s relationship to China and the West. Rather than place Aizawa and his New Theses of 1825 at the beginning of a process leading up to the Meiji Restoration, Wakabayashi discusses New Theses in conjunction with the bakufu’s Expulsion Edict issued in the same year. He concludes that the convergence of the two events in 1825 marks the emergence of modern nationalism in Japan, and therefore should perhaps be seen as more epoch–making than the 1868 Restoration itself. The study also presents a complete translation of New Theses.

Target Detection and Tracking by Bionanosensor Networks

By: Yutaka Okaie,Tadashi Nakano,Takahiro Hara,Shojiro Nishio

This book describes the main ideas, methods, results and resources relevant to the study of bionanosensor networks. Its primary goal is to spark application-oriented studies of molecular communication; that is, to investigate how collections of bionanosensors, referred to here as bionanosensor networks, can be used for practical purposes such as nanomedical sensing. In particular, the book focuses on two key functionalities for nanomedical applications: target detection and target tracking. Bionanosensor networks represent a new interdisciplinary research area that expands the traditional area of network engineering by incorporating the latest advances in bionanotechnology. These networks consist of spatially distributed bionanosensors that are engineered with the help of bionanotechnology. As a research area, bionanosensor networks are aimed at designing robust networks on the basis of spatially distributed bionanosensors, as well as at developing innovative applications of those networks.

Crystal Growth Technology

By: Kullaiah Byrappa,Tadashi Ohachi

Crystals are the unacknowledged pillars of modern technology. The modern technological developments depend greatly on the availability of suitable single crystals, whether it is for lasers, semiconductors, magnetic devices, optical devices, superconductors, telecommunication, etc. In spite of great technological advancements in the recent years, we are still in the early stage with respect to the growth of several important crystals such as diamond, silicon carbide, PZT, gallium nitride, and so on. Unless the science of growing these crystals is understood precisely, it is impossible to grow them as large single crystals to be applied in modern industry. This book deals with almost all the modern crystal growth techniques that have been adopted, including appropriate case studies. Since there has been no other book published to cover the subject after the Handbook of Crystal Growth, Eds. DTJ Hurle, published during 1993-1995, this book will fill the existing gap for its readers.The book begins with ""Growth Histories of Mineral Crystals"" by the most senior expert in this field, Professor Ichiro Sunagawa. The next chapter reviews recent developments in the theory of crystal growth, which is equally important before moving on to actual techniques. After the first two fundamental chapters, the book covers other topics like the recent progress in quartz growth, diamond growth, silicon carbide single crystals, PZT crystals, nonlinear optical crystals, solid state laser crystals, gemstones, high melting oxides like lithium niobates, hydroxyapatite, GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy, superconducting crystals, morphology control, and more. For the first time, the crystal growth modeling has been discussed in detail with reference to PZT and SiC crystals.

The Bushido Code

Words of Wisdom from Japan's Greatest Samurai

By: Tadashi Kamiko

Words of wisdom from great samurai leaders: A collection of inspiring essays and aphorisms from Japan's leading warriors Samurai warrior leaders had to deal with grim conditions of life, death and survival. But such men were not simply rough uneducated fighters: they often personified the Far Eastern ideal of balancing cultural awareness and artistic expertise with high martial abilities. Their sayings, precepts and the anecdotes about them are informed by a broad spectrum of interests, many of which are still relevant today. Advice in this book includes: You should not envy the swords and clothing of others. It goes without saying that you should arrange your hair early in the morning if you are going out to your work, but this should be done even if you are thinking of staying at home. When you think too much, it is difficult to achieve your objectives. If you are too clever and look too far ahead, you will accomplish nothing. If you have some pressing or urgent affair, write it down with a calm state of mind. Your regular meals should be light, and you should not take a trivial liking for elegant cuisine. If someone promotes only those things the lord finds acceptable, and never remonstrates with him at all, you should watch that man carefully. No matter how wise a person may be, you should never depend fully on him but rather, understand that you are always on your own. Covering universal themes ranging from the courage and ambition to face daily affairs, the insights and strategies necessary to deal with allies and opponents, the value of art and literature, and even why and how to save money-- this is a book whose ancient wisdom is still highly relevant and of great value to readers today.

Clinical Aspects of The Plasma Proteins

Clinical Aspects of The Plasma Proteins

By: Tadashi Kawai

It was the year of 1969 when this monograph was originally published in Japanese by Professor TADASHI KAWAI, titled as "The Plasma Proteins, Their Fundamental and Clinical Aspects." After I read through the Japanese edition, I was impressed by its rather complete coverage of the subjects and their detailed descriptions. I have felt that this excellent monograph should be distributed not only among our Japanese scien tists but also among many other colleagues throughout the world. I am happy, the refore, to know that the English edition of his monograph, partly revised, is ready to be published at this time. Professor KAWAI received his postgraduate medical training in U.S.A. for seven years, and was certified by the American Board of Pathology in both Anatomical and Clinical Pathology in Fall, 1962. Thus, I believe, he is the most suitable fellow for publishing the English edition of this kind.

Field Theory of Multiscale Plasticity

By: Tadashi Hasebe

This unique book provides a concise and systematic treatment of foundational material on dislocations and metallurgy and an up-to-date discussion of multiscale modeling of materials, which ultimately leads to the field theory of multiscale plasticity (FTMP). Unlike conventional continuum models, this approach addresses the evolving inhomogeneities induced by deformation, typically as dislocation substructures like dislocation cells, as well as their interplay at more than one scale. This is an impressively visual text with many and varied examples and viewgraphs. In particular, the book presents a feasible constitutive model applicable to crystal plasticity-based finite element method (FEM) simulations. It will be an invaluable resource, accessible to undergraduate and graduate students as well as researchers in mechanical engineering, solid mechanics, applied physics, mathematics, materials science, and technology.

By: Lars Thylen,Petter Holmström,Lech Wosinski,Bozena Jaskorzynska,Makoto Naruse,Tadashi Kawazoe,Motoichi Ohtsu,Min Yan,Marco Fiorentino,Urban Westergren

This chapter treats several approaches for employing nanophotonics or near-nanophotonics concepts to create low-power switches. The partly interrelated issues of low-power dissipation and small device footprint are elucidated and figures of merit for switches formulated. Both optically and electronically controlled optical switches are treated and the crucial role of material development emphasized, illustrated by several examples, including both theoretical analysis of switch concepts and experimentally realized switches. Thus, electronically controlled switches based on hybrid, metamaterial, and nanoparticle plasmonics, electrooptic polymers as well as switches based on silicon and photonic crystals are discussed. The all-optical switches focus on third-order nonlinear effects and carrier-induced refractive index changes in III–V materials, as well as on emerging concepts of near-field-coupled quantum-dot switches. A brief comparison to electronic switches is done.
