Nara Park is located in Nara Prefecture in Japan and represents an image of the ancient capital of Nara. This study discusses changes that were made to the sports facilities constructed in the park and the change of the image of Nara Park. Nara Park was created in 1880 and was affected by a conflict between changes in the times, which require the development of up-to-date facilities, and the park’s ability to serve as a sightseeing attraction, which requires the preservation of its scenery. In 1910, an athletics stadium, tennis courts, and a baseball field were built. In 1928, a swimming pool was constructed and a comprehensive sports facility was added, which gave Nara Park a complete sporting site. Nara Park is set on land that was formerly a temple but, once the sports facility was created, it became a“ modern” public park. In 1988, the“ Nara Silkroad Exposition” was held there. For this event, permission was given to eliminate the“ modern” elements, which referred to the sports park, and to preserve it as an authentic“ ancient city.” Consequently, all of the sports facilities were removed. Through the expulsion of“ modern” elements, the differences between“ modern” and“ the Ancient Capital of Nara” have created the current format of the Nara brand.

"The votive picture tablet" is the wooden board which is dedicated when praying at a Japanese Shinto shrine or temple. The custom of offering the votive tablet was originated in dedicating a real horse for God during the Nara era. Various pictures had been drawn by the Edo era. An individual dedicated a small votive tablet for the safety of family and the prosperity of business. Since the wish to Shinto and Buddhist deities was frankly not made to others, communication of people and Shinto and Buddhist deities was realized with the pattern of the votive picture. In this research, the cultural code was read and solved by analyzing the representation of art and body images on the votive picture. The pattern in connection with the body images is related to the divine favor of Shinto and Buddhist deities. They are the contents for self-actualization to which an individual and a group can pray for progress.

In the government guidelines for teaching published in March 2017, for the first time Jukendo was clearly mentioned in martial arts category of junior high school health and physical education. As Jukendo was part of military training in the pre-war days, its inclusion in school education has come under criticism.In the guidelines for teaching, the purpose of martial arts in junior high school health and physical education has been clearly described as the teaching of “the traditional acts of martial arts” and “the traditional way of thinking.” Accordingly, for Jukendo also, the major premise is that the “traditional elements” that can possibly be taught is clearly described. However, for Jukendo, a challenge is that these things have not been clearly described.This study investigates the cultural characteristics of Jukendo, to elucidate the “traditional elements” in Jukendo.During the Meiji period, Jukendo was developed by the military. The most important thing at that time, more than anything else, was its effectiveness as a technique for wounding and killing. Jukendo had been introduced and developed under the influence of “a culture that by all means devises violent techniques, and pursues mastery in it” as was prevalent in early modern times martial arts. After the war, violence that was the significance of its existence, was denounced, and Jukendo has come to be considered as a sport. However, with respect to the moral culture, it has wavered between deconstruction and reconstruction of violence.After the war, Jukendo adopted the martial arts charter that is defined as “way of forming human nature through martial arts practice.” Such martial arts concept can be established only on the basis of the moral culture of the respective arts, and it can be said that there are challenges that need to be overcome in introducing Jukendo in junior high school martial arts program, because Jukendo did not have the background of a training culture founded on moral considerations.With clear mention of Jukendo in government guidelines for teaching, it is urgently desired that deeper discussions are undertaken on suitable junior high school martial arts teaching materials for 21st century, and in particular the associated moral culture.

A polymorphic tetranucleotide (GAAT)n microsatellite in the first intron of the canine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFA) gene was characterized in this study; 139 dogs were analyzed: 22 Beagles, 26 Chihuahuas, 20 Miniature Dachshunds, 24 Miniature Poodles, 22 Pembroke Welsh Corgis and 25 Shiba Inus. We detected the presence of the 4 alleles (GAAT)5, (GAAT)6, (GAAT)7 and (GAAT)8, including 9 of the 10 expected genotypes. The expected heterozygosity (He) and the polymorphic information content (PIC) value of this microsatellite locus varied from 0.389 to 0.749 and from 0.333 to 0.682, respectively, among the 6 breeds. The allelic frequency differed greatly among breeds, but this microsatellite marker was highly polymorphic and could be a useful marker for the canine TNFA gene.
