This paper explores Haiku making gathering called kukai. There exist around 800 haiku groups in which Haiku authors make Haiku. Haiku group called kessha is hierarchically structured and an interesting object to be examined using an analytical concept "legitimate peripheral participation" proposed by Rave and Wenger. Kukai is an excellent opportunity for newcomer to observe aesthetics, power structure, and relationships between members. There are two types of kukai in a Haiku group J, of which I have carried out fieldwork. The first type is the headquarters kukai, in which around 40 members taka part. This kukai reproduces the power structure of the group and not very good space to carry out legitimate peripheral participation. The second type is branch kukai consists of around 10 to 15 participants. There are enough time for participants to discuss each Haiku of the participants. For this reason, this type kukai is more appropriate for newcomers' legitimate peripheral participation. These two types are, however, necessary for Haiku group J since the first type reproduces hierarchical power structure of the group, and the second one offers space in which participants including newcomers to internalize the aesthetics of the group.

This paper explores a best-seller book entitled Kojima no Haru or Spring in the Island published in 1938. The book, written by Ogawa Masako, a medical doctor who was working for a leprosarium named Nagashima Aiseien in Okayama prefecture, is a report of her trip to Kochi, Tokushima, and Okayama to give lectures on leprosy to a public audience and to persuade patients living in their homes to enter leprosarium. Sentimentalism amplified with Tanka scattered throughout in the book, Kojima no Haru made the readers to consider leprosy patients as miserable and pitiful people. This stereotypical image of patients spurred a paternalistic approach toward the patients thereafter.

Fieldwork, a procedure that has been elaborated in the anthropological research, is an effective method in the study of terminal care. Narratives of informants are gathered and analyzed in detail, while also focusing on self-reflectively. The subject of my fieldwork in the study of terminal care is "spirituality." Spirituality in terminal care is related to "spiritual pain." Together with three other types of pain, physical, mental and social pain, spiritual pain constitutes "total pain." In the U.K. and the United States, the connotation of spiritual pain has shifted from religious to secular, and almost the same process has occurred in Japan. This change reflects the fact that death has become a personal matter. And behind this, there exists individualism which puts significance on the fact that an individual should choose her/his own way of dying. I aim to grasp the relationship between individualization of death and spirituality.

In order to provide healthy experimental animals, it is important to find and remove animals that have been accidentally exposed to various stresses during breeding. This study focuses mouse health-care management. Here we used human olfaction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to assess odor intensity and determine the concentrations of odor components. The feces were collected from mice that were exposed to 4 different stresses (no bedding chips, shaking, fasting, and movement restriction). These stresses caused a change in odor intensity as assessed by 6 panelists. Seventeen components were identified as dominant components in the odor that was emitted from feces. The concentration of each compound was converted to relative values versus its odor threshold levels in order to select ones effective for the quality of the odor. As a result, 12 selected components were found to be a useful set for the recognition of mice bred under different stress conditions. The present results may provide useful information for the development of standard fecal odor materials that may be used for the training of mouse care personnel.
