Across Two Worlds

Memoirs of a Nisei Flower Grower

By: Yoshimi Shibata

Publisher description: Yoshimi "Shimi" Shibata grew up with a kendo sword in one hand and flowers in the other. Born to Japanese immigrants in Oakland, California, Shimi spent his childhood in Mt. Eden, an agricultural community on the east side of the San Francisco Bay. There, amidst his family's greenhouses, Shimi overcame a serious illness to learn kendo, Japanese sword fighting, from master teachers from Japan. While being exposed to Japanese culture and the Japanese American community, Shimi, as the eldest surviving son, was also being groomed to become a flower grower and take over the family business. Attending Ohio State University, the premiere floriculture school in the country, and traveling throughout North America to see the best in flower growing at the time, Shimi began to cultivate dreams for Mt. Eden Nursery. However, World War II intervened and the Shibata family was forcibly removed to Tule Lake War Relocation Center in Northern California near the Oregon border. Now the lessons Shimi learned from his early years had to sustain him through battling factions within the detention center. And finally released, Shimi had to make his way home and help rebuild the family business into a large diversified enterprise that his late father would have never imagined. Struggling to hold on to and release different aspects of his cultural upbringing, Shimi discovered that he would have to create success in his own unique way-- the Nisei way, the Shimi Shibata way...

Random Seas and Design of Maritime Structures

By: Yoshimi Goda

Random waves are the most important constituent of the sea environment, as they make the design of maritime structures quite different from that of structures on land. In this book, the concept of random waves for the design of breakwaters, seawalls, and harbor structures is fully explored for easy comprehension by practicing engineers. Theoretical aspects are also discussed in detail for further studies by graduate students and researchers.

Educational Evaluation and Improvement in Japan

Linking Lesson Study, Curriculum Management and School Evaluation

By: Yoshimi Okumura

This book delves into how Japanese schools evaluate and enhance education quality through lesson study, curriculum management, and school self-evaluation. It explores the concept of “understanding by design” in the context of the historical background and the challenges of the present, providing practical methods of educational evaluation for the future. Through in-depth case studies of two primary schools, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of educational evaluation and improvement. The book proposes a new theoretical framework for a comprehensive quality care process that links lesson study, curriculum management, and school evaluation. Based on authentic assessment, the strategies and examples presented can be applied to any quality system. The conclusion offers core ideas for successful implementation of educational evaluation and improvement. This book is essential reading for teachers and school leaders seeking to build their schools’ quality systems, and for researchers and graduate students interested in improving educational evaluation.

Proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Polarized Sources and Targets

Tokyo, Japan, 14-17 November 2005

By: Tomohiro Uesaka,Akihiro Yoshimi

Polarized beams and targets have been irreplaceable tools in nuclear and particle physics experiments for a long time and have provided us rich information on the role played by spin-degrees of freedom in the sub-nuclear world. In addition, techniques to obtain large nuclear polarization have recently been applied to new fields such as materials and medical sciences.The scope of these proceedings covers recent progress of state-of-the-art techniques in spin polarization, the cryogenic method, the atomic beam method, the optical pumping method and the nuclear reaction method.
