The acceptance of ethical literary criticism in Japan has gone through three stages: initial period, high period and falling period. The main reason for its decline lies in the prevalent misunderstanding in Japanese academia, simply equating ethical literary criticism with Chinese traditional ethical criticism or moral criticism. To dispel misunderstandings and deepen Japanese scholars' understanding of ethical literary criticism, it is necessary to emphasize the interdisciplinary characteristic of ethical literary criticism within the academic community in Japan. Taking into account the characteristics of Japanese literature and the research tradition of Japanese academia, this paper suggests three interdisciplinary approaches: 1) the interdisciplinary path of literature and psychology, which enjoys a broad research base in Japan; 2) the interdisciplinary path of literature and brain science, an area that has not gained substantial research in Japan; 3) the interdisciplinary path of literature and science and technology with significant development prospects.

Scholars have argued that interpersonal networks are more dominated by kin and work ties in Japan than in America. This paper seeks to examine the extent to which these differences manifest in the voice calling patterns of smartphone users in these two countries. We draw on data collected from a smartphone application that we designed to anonymously collect mobile log and pop-up survey data. The application was used to collect data from 226 adults in living in Japan and 195 adults living in America. Using descriptive and multivariate statistics we compare the voice call interaction patterns of respondents in these two countries. We conclude by discussing the extent to which the concept of interpersonal collectivism can be applied to understand different patterns of mobile communication in Japan and America.

With the development of science and technology, a series of creative techniques have been proposed in Japan since 1930s. By illustrating some specific creative techniques in Japan, this paper analyzes the regional characteristics of creative techniques in Japan, namely, integration, reformism, locality, operability, specialization and simplicity. A combination of such local knowledge theories as post-colonial scientific views, philosophy of scientific practice and cultural anthropology contributes to an analysis of the regional characteristics of creative techniques in Japan which reflect the local knowledge and methods. The findings suggest that creative techniques with unique Chinese characteristics should be incubated in the Chinese local culture; hereby, the Chinese local culture deserves to be valued.

This paper compares media relations in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States. There are several significant findings. First, the media-public relations practitioner relationship is more informal and closer in Asia than it is in the U.S. Second, media ethics, such as gift giving and informal gatherings, are different in these Asian cultures and in the U.S. Finally, the U.S. journalists and public relations practitioners have more positive attitudes toward on-line types of source-reporter relations than Asian journalists and practitioners do. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed based on the findings of this comparative analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dai Shu Shu (Algebra) and Wei Ji Su Yuan (The Roots of Calculus) translated by Hua Hengfang (1833-1902) and John Fryer (1839-1928), mathematical works in the late Qing Dynasty had exerted great impact on the internationalization of Japanese mathematics, and the influence had lasted until the Meiji Restoration period. This paper focuses on the Chinese ions of these works such as a missionary in China, which had exerted great influence on the internationalization of Japanese mathematics during the Meiji Restoration period. Firstly, a synopsis is offered of some maths works introduced into Japan translated by others except Hua Hengfang and their influence on Japanese mathematics. Secondly, the author of Notes to the Method of Algebra and his mathematical researches are introduced, together with an analysis of the Notes and the western mathematics and the literature of the latter spread into Japan during the early period of Meiji Restoration via comparison between the Notes and the Chinese translation. Finally, some accounts are offered of Japanese scholars during the Meiji period who referred to and cited from Chinese translations of mathematical works like the Origin of Calculus in their studies or translations of western ones.

In ancient times, china and Japan witnessed long and profound cultural exchange and Wuyue Culture had a close relationship with prehistoric Japan. This paper explores the influence of Wuyue culture from Pre-Qin stage to Wei and Jin Dynasties on prehistoric Japan, such as the relationship between the Yayoi people and Wuyue emigrants in east--movement to Japan, the eastward dissemination and spread of rice culture; the dissemination of smelting and casting technology of Iron and the technology of textile, etc. The large-scale eastward movement of Wuyue culture plays a great role in promoting the economic, cultural and social development for Japan after the 7th century.

This article will analyze the context of the local revitalization and regional care-centered society policies nexus through the criticism of welfare state regime reconstructive theory and the ideal type construction of the civil economy and civic economy. Through the analysis of ideal type, related policies and literature review, as well as collecting official data, we can understand the features of the civil economy in Japan, including private ownership, market distribution mechanisms, its employment centered with a volunteering periphery, and limited participation in democracy. At the same time, I use the idea of civic economy to understand the challenge of Japan's related policy development in the future, including the diversity of ownership, exchange mechanisms based on community recognition, the equal value between employment and voluntary work, and democratic governance based on the community's civic participation.
