Lot of interesting sources on NDL online collections are embedded in scanned US occupation period files. Example: the 日満支 工業年鑑 for 昭和15 is only available as part of evidence for war crimes trials here: https://dl.ndl.go.jp/pid/12922208/1/4 while elsewhere only up to 昭和13 (https://dl.ndl.go.jp/ja/pid/1115528) #japan #primarysources #asianists

I added a section to our Frog in a Well Primary Source guide to Korean History with some links to open access copies of volumes with Japanese statistics from colonial Korea - https://froginawell.net/frog/sources/primary-sources-modern-korean-history/#japanese #japan #korea #primarysources #histodons #asianists

Deeper and deeper into #Japanese #culture and people, I went into the #Kyoto Imperial Palace for a special performance of #Gagaku (雅楽), imperial court #music and #dances of #Asian mainland origin that have been performed there since the Heian Period over a thousand years ago. An acquaintance who is a Shintō priestess (see photo) from Nara played two types of traditional flutes that sustain an eerie or higher-worldly atmosphere. The relatively slow and deliberate movements of the mostly male dancers in many-layered gorgeous contumes stand in contrast with the frenetic tempo of modern #entertainment. We experience #time as the pace of transformation, and that brief time transfixed with the Gagaku performance was but an interlude from an ancient era in a workday preparing for university classes and a keynote address. Photos will have to suffice to evoke the special atmosphere.

Found an old undated guide to writing letters in Chinese 言文對照廣註寫信必讀 in a Singapore used bookstore. I scanned it and posted to the Internet Archive for anyone who wants to browse it. One book by this title is on worldcat as dated 1921. #china #chineselanguage #asianists #histodons #internetarchive

Scanned an old 1962 Singapore booklet teaching Bopomofo/注音符號 and posted it to Internet Archive for anyone interested! https://archive.org/details/1962_20230601/mode/1up #chinese #singapore #chineselanguage #histodons #asianists

Hi, I’m exploring #Daoism (esp. Maoshan Shangqing & Qingwei schools) and curious about all areas where it provides context and meanings, with a particular interest in the popular imagery, #folklore and #MartialArts (esp. #sword aka #jian). My #AsianStudies scope covers #Chinese #history from Shang to Qing. The #myth creation and deconstruction are both fascinating.
Mongolian and Korean #shamanism (from #anthropology perspective) are also welcome.

Right now I am pretty busy with my #MastersThesis that is due in December. I’m writing about #media depictions of #multiracialJapanese and having a closer look at how #Japanese daily newspapers reported on tennis player #NaomiOsaka.
In the three big newspapers Asahi, Mainichi and Yomiuri she appeared 15 times by name in their editorials. I’m trying to find out the patterns of how Osaka is depicted in these articles with a focus on the discussions of her roots.

Hello #Histodons. I am interested in destruction and repair, iconoclasm, ritual, and political culture in China, Taiwan, Japan, and the Pacific. My current project is maintenance as religious practice in Taiwan. I like chess, cycling, the Beef and Dairy Network, and mango
