Through the special collaborative research projects (02-R-154, 05-R-181, 08-R-199) funded by Momoyama Gakuin University Research Institute, a considerably wide-ranging business survey has been ongoing since the second quarter of 2004 with the cooperation of the Sakai City Industial Promotion Center. In this article a brief outline of our activities from April 2005 to March 2008 is given fist, and the result of an econometric analysis based on our survey data is discussed. It was discovered that the movements of some diffusion indices of our local regional economy (the south Osaka area) are significantly different from those of some similar indices in "Tankan", the single largest national business survey in Japan conducted by BOJ. The gap between the local and the national indices is widening, which implies that the local companies are becoming increasingly more pessimistic than the government's official statistics suggest. This discovery shows the significance of our unique business survey and the necessity of inquiring into the economic background to the gap.

In this paper, I examined sales and promotion strategies of Japanese agricultural products andfoods through those who exhibited Hong Kong Food Expo (HKTDC), one of the largest foodexhibition in East Asia. After the registration of Japanese dishes to World Heritage in 2013, aboom of Japanese foods has been observed especially in Asia. In Hong Kong, people are enjoyingvarious Japanese restaurants as well. This boom is obviously accelerating exports of Japaneseagricultural products. However, Japanese agricultural producers were mainly selling theirproducts in the domestic markets and their strategies toward the foreign markets still remain invulnerable stage. This paper aims to seek insights through the examination of the strategies usedat Hong Kong Food Expo.Hong Kong's food market has following characteristic points ;1) It is the biggest counter partner of exports of Japanese agricultural foods and products,2) There is no tariff on imports of Japanese foods and products basically, no non-tariff barrier butfor a few exceptions. It is in a favorable condition as an export partner.3) It is close to Japan and carriage procedures are simple.4) Most of Hong Kong people have visited Japan several times and are interested in Japanesefoods and culture.Thus, an analysis of Hong Kong Food Expo can provide us a good practice of strategies ofselling and promoting Japanese agricultural foods and products overseas.

Senior residents of public housing in Japan-the fastest aging society in the world-experience different life challenges from those of private housing. What are the living conditions and characteristics of such seniors in public housing ? This study compares the lives of senior citizens in public housing built 40 years ago and those in private housing in a district of Osaka. We conducted surveys, sponsored by the municipal district, with seniors living there between October 2010 and June 2011. For this paper, we analyzed the data from marginal and semi-marginal villages there: the totals of 178 responses from seniors in public housing and of 413 responses in private housing. Compared with seniors in private housing, seniors living in public housing show significantly 1) poorer health conditions and 2) less frequent communication with their family. In addition, significantly fewer of them 3) participate in community activities such as festivals and senior clubs, 4) have daily recreational activities like hobbies and learning activity programs, and 5) feel satisfied with their everyday life. The results 3), 4), and 5) are due to the large number of senior males living alone in older public housing; these are shared characteristics of solitary senior males in the entire district. To conclude, the findings suggest that it is important to encourage seniors to engage in community networking and participate in social activities. A more active social life may help mitigate suffering caused by accidents, disease, and natural disasters.

The Babad Tanah Jawi (Meinsma edition) mentions Mt. Merapi 10 times, of which the first4 cases constitute a series of stories culminating in a battle at Prambanan between Pajang andMataram. From the story we find that Mt. Merapi houses spirits that originate from the sameancestor as that of the Mataram kings, that Mt. Merapi and human society correspond with eachother, that Mt. Merapi to the north of the Mataram kingdom seems to be an equal partner of theSouthern Sea as protector of the kingdom, and lastly that the ruler of the spirits of Mt. Merapi is,however, not mentioned in the babad, unlike Ratu Rara Kidul in the Southern Sea, who isdescribed elaborately as the protector of the kingdom.

Audit failures are often caused by the inability of auditors to maintain independence. The lack of independence is an enemy of systematic and efficient audit operations. How can auditors secure independence? To answer this question, we need to discuss a wide variety of issues, including not only an appropriate organization of auditors, quality control and governance but also the necessity of auditors' rotation and the whereabouts of an authority to select auditor members or determine remuneration for auditors. This paper focuses on audit quality control, which is an essential task in ensuring reliable audit results, and discusses present situations and problems regarding audit quality control systems from the viewpoint of audit firms, JICPA ( Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants) and CPAAOB (Certified Public Accountants and Auditing Oversight Board). We also discuss whether or not the size of an audit firms is relevant to its ability to conduct appropriate quality control of audit operations, since we consider it important to clarify such relevance or irrelevance for identifying desirable quality control systems for respective audit firms. We conducted a questionnaire survey on both large audit firms and small and medium-size counterparts to find and analyze the status of their respective quality control systems, and this paper explains the survey results.

In the WWI era, the Japanese economy enjoyed an abnormal boom rised by the war in Europe. Japanese exports increased by enormous scale and brought huge external receipts. Discarding the gold-standard system, the Japanese economy lost the adjusting mechanism which the goldstandard system warranted. The money supply increased and thereby the inflation hit the people's life so that there were riots for shortage of rice in the summer 1918 (Kome-Sodo). This Kome-Sodo riots fall the Terauchi Administration. And after Terauchi, Takashi Hara took office as the first party cabinet in Japan. So the cabinet was changed, but the economic policies were not changed so much. Both administrations took an expansive policies which caused severe inflation and brought an enormous bubble in 1919. The Hara Administration was under control of Hanbatsu fraction. Therefore, Hara could not and would not change the policies (for example, badget) of former administration. That caused disappointment to the party cabinet and democracy in general and paved the way to militarism. This paper dealts with the economic and political causes which lied in desicion process for economic policies in that period by reviewing the newspapers and the journals.

Since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in January 1995, universities nationwide have set up volunteer centers. However, unlike regular local volunteer centers, the pedagogical purpose and system at universities vary, such that, as at other universities, St. Andrew's University (Momoyama Gakuin University) also developed its center through a trial-and-error process. We surveyed volunteer centers at eight universities that operate energetically and act as model volunteer centers in order to find their key success factors. The greatest success factor we found was specialist personnel called volunteer coordinators, who are in charge at many volunteer centers that have succeeded in communicating information vigorously and collaborating with their community. At St. Andrew's University, instead of specialists such as volunteer coordinators, full-time faculty members work to operate volunteer support activities that are unique to the university, along with support for disabled students. The utilization of volunteer coordinators and involvement by faculty members in support management are significant in meeting community needs and fostering citizens of the world, which are the goals of this university.

What should the House of Councilors be under the Constitution? This has been one of the most difficult problems under our constitution since its establishment. It is such a thorny problem that we cannot resolve it at present. This research attempts to provide the proper answer concerning it. Of course, the constitutional position of the House of Councilors should be prescribed in correlation with the House of Representatives on the basis of the characteristics of the political and social background of the country in question. This research concludes that the House of Councilors should be a guardian of the Constitution, which can control the government from the perspective of protecting the constitutional discipline. If the government forces through its policy without any public agreement, nobody but the House of Councilors cannot stop its forcible passage. The House of Councilors is therefore responsible for supervising and preventing the government from overstepping its own authority. This research explains the validity of such a position of the House of Councilors in light of the text and the original intent of the constitutional law, the constitutional theory, and the actual political life. And then this research describes that the House of Councilors should establish such new committees as the constitution committee and the delegated legislation committee, and be provided with such new power as the legislative veto, with which the House of Councilors can veto any problematic delegated legislations made by the government, for protecting the constitutional norms. Furthermore, more than half of the members of the House of Councilors should be non-partisan. In order to establish such a composition, we have to fundamentally transform the current electoral system. And in all probability, a recommendation system for candidates who are non-partisan and knowledgeable would be suitable for this purpose. When these reforms are put into practice, the House of Councilors will become the genuine "House of Common Sense".

Ryunosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927), one of the major novelists in modern Japan, is also famous as an adapter who learned from other writers in Japan and abroad. His works are considered bookish. Therefore, we assumed that he read many writers' works in his day, and we tried to prove the causality and we attempted to show how these works affected his own writing. In this work we would show some materials of the above facts consisting on the records of "A bibliography of writers who were read by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, based on Akutagawa Ryunosuke Zenshu, published by Iwanami Shoten, Tokyo, 1977-1978, 12 volumes". At next time we will analyze the materials above mentioned. By the way, the bibliography was issued in the March 1996 edition of this journal, vol.21, no.3. Each entry in this index has three items: the writer's name, the title of the work, and the date when Ryunosuke Akutagawa would have read the work. Entries are ordered according to the writer's name in the Japanese syllabary because this index deals with Japanese, Chinese and Korean writers only.

Through the special collaborative research projects (02-R-154, 05-R-181, 08-R-199) funded by Momoyama Gakuin University Research Institute, a considerably wide-ranging business survey was conducted each quarter from 2004 to 2009. A total of 1622 effective answers to our questionnaire were collected. Based on this dataset, in this article we analysed the impact of the Lehman Shock on the south Osaka economy. Using the Ordered Probit model as a method of analysis, we found that structural changes have not occurred after the Lehman Shock, though the Shock did have quite a temporary effect that made business expectations pessimistic to some extent.

Eenen, En-nen (延年) is a project that was started in 2006 by Tadashi Ogasawara, a Kyogen actor of the Izumi School, with the ambition to rediscover the primitive form of Kyogen and retrieve its original vigor. I have been involved in this project as stage director and researcher since 2009 together with Angelo Crotti, an Italian actor specializing in the role of Arlecchino in Commedia dell'Arte. For three years (April 2012 - March 2015) we were fortunate to receive academic and financial support from Osaka's Momoyama Gakuin University in the joint research program titled `The Establishment and Development of Masked Comedy in Japan and in Italy during the Medieval and Early Modern Period and its Contemporary Practice'. In this paper I examine what we have done and present an analysis of our experiments. Kyogen is a Japanese traditional comic theater which has undergone refinement and stylization throughout its long history. As a consequence, Kyogen today seeks only virtuosity in performance, leaving the social significance of the themes obscured or distorted, so that it is often difficult to understand the original meaning of the plots and the action. For example, in the famous and popular piece <<Ka-zumo>>(sumo with mosquito), the role of the mosquito should be interpreted as a metaphor for a poor hungry peasant, not an insect itself. Rereading <<Ka-zumo>>in this way, one will notice that this was bitter satire, not the fantasy-like comedy that we see today on the Kyogen stage. Originally, Kyogen was a form of satiric comedy with a real social function, but as a cost of the protection given by the ruling bushi class since the 17th century, it lost its vital link with society and was subjected to a kind of emasculation. Its stylization was nothing but the result of control by the authorities. It was also a general tendency in early modern Europe to `civilize' madness (the chaotic energy of comic plays, carnivalesque fetes, fools and so on). And this was very similar to what happened to Kyogen. Our objective is to deconstruct the stylized form of Kyogen and restore its original creativity and critical function in a contemporary society. For this purpose we took the approach of tracing back its genetic process in history. If we compare human activities as a whole to a big tree, each specialized field (not only technological or industrial fields, but also many traditional arts) corresponds to one branch at the top of ramification very highly posted, but very distant from its roots, and very poor and fragile in creativity, because we have so few lymphs at the branch end in quality and quantity. So it is necessary to step out of one's small branch end and descend to reach the parting point where many branches converge, and where you will find many more lymphs of creativity. Adopting Commedia dell'Arte, the Italian tradizional comic theater which has many similarities with Kyogen, but much less stylized as a "partner branch," we decided to go down to the parting point between Kyogen and Commedia dell'Arte. In the Eenen, En-nen project, we held conferences as well as workshops and experimental performances in collaboration with Commedia dell'Arte actors, namely Angelo Crotti and Andrea Brugnera, in Osaka, Venice and Bologna. For performances we chose some Kyogen texts and adapted them for present-day society by employing the improvisation technique of Commedia dell'Arte. We believe this is the only way to reach a larger bough where we could effectively rediscover the original energy and critical spirit of Kyogen. No less fruitful were the rehearsals themselves, through which we observed not a few essential points. At the beginning it was unexpectedly difficult for Ogasawara to act using improvisation. The reason? As Carola Baldini's MED method suggests, we can identify six different levels of human movement, which go from very personal identity to performing identity. Obviously, as a well-trained Kyogen actor, Ogasawara feels very much at ease at the Scenic Movement level, the most technical level mainly comprising our performing identity. But in acting using improvisation, which required much grater employment of his very personal psycho-physique zone, he had to contend with a less technical level of movement, from which he realized to be completely separated because of his traditional training. His body was heavily penetrated with kata, a stylistically codified form, a sort of performing language of Kyogen ,without which he fell into complete aphasia on the stage. Thus, we noticed in him a sharp split between personal identity and performing identity, life and form, mind and body, an interesting "symptom" typically observed in many traditional theater forms. Through a workshop held at Bologna University, we also realized that kata is not necessarily a fetter but a very effective and creative mode of expression. Kata is a complex language system, that is, a set of symbols to convey meanings. But sometimes in the course of history and the process of aesthetical refinement, the original meanings of kata become blurred or simply forgotten. Only by descending down to the genetic level we can understand the true meanings of kata, which need to be rediscovered every time we practice kata. The Eenen, En-nen project is a specific program to regenerate Kyogen, but all of our research, such as adaptations of Kyogen works, analysis of the symptom of the stage aphasia of Ogasawara or experiments utilizing kata, leads us to a fundamental question about the relationship between form and life. And we can apply the same method to other artistic subjects ; not only theater but also dance, music, painting, etc.

The classroom activities conducted in extracurricular activities are held as an opportunity for students to deepen their independent and practical learning. A school is considered a small society, wherein students can deepen their consciousness as a collective member, and acquire the character whereby they can solve problems concerning personal matters by themselves. When developing activities suitable for studying democracy, students need to prepare opportunities and situations that they can tackle actively and spontaneously. Moreover, regarding the leader's role, rather than taking the initiative, the teacher should monitor the students and assume the stance of providing support. There is no hurry to reach a conclusion; rather, students are encouraged to put forth arguments, leading to the students reaching points of agreement. In this way, the habit of practice is cultivated, and, if successful, leads to the training of an independent and practical mindset. Unfortunately, at Japanese schools, it is currently difficult to establish a method whereby students investigate a subject by themselves, share their findings with a friend, and seek solutions to the problems therein. In this paper, we analyze the present conditions of extracurricular activities of Japan. Then, the concepts of "Klassenrat," "Schlermitverwaltung," "conflict intermediaries," and "rescue crews" at the Oberen Schloss School in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany will be considered.

Japanese civilians who lived in the territories of the anti-Axis powers during World War II-i.e., the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Brazil, or Peru-were exposed to hostile attitudes in each society. For reasons of national security, most of them were relocated into internment camps or jails. In the UK, in addition to Germans, Italians, and Austrians, Japanese civilians were categorized as enemy aliens, and were relocated to a camp in the Isle of Man. (The Isle of Man is a small island located between Great Britain and Ireland, and historically has been a British Crown Dependency.) According to a newspaper report, about 200 Japanese civilians were sent to and arrived in the Isle of Man only five days after World War II broke out. Interestingly enough, this historical fact has been unknown not only among the Japanese but also the British. Although historical resources are very limited, this paper will reveal the experiences of the interned Japanese nationals in the Isle of Man during WWII, and discuss the reasons why Japanese as Enemy Aliens in the UK were forgotten in both Japan and the UK.

The Cell Production System with an autonomous and decentralized organization, has challenges on how each cell integrates itself with other cells as well as, on how it manages itself autonomously. In this system each cell manages their operations and transactions with other departments or outsourcing companies. As operators' technical abilities grew by advancing job enlargement and job enrichment, they became able to propose ideas to match customer's needs or wants. For this purpose, various education to enhance operators' technical abilities were conducted. In a model cell they sought solutions of the challenges by repeating trials and errors. In each cell, adaptability was not obstructed by limited knowledge and information that cell has, and operators autonomously challenged new KAIZEN. At that time computer technology that were being widely used, affected cell production system. Integration of a cell with other cells, with other departments, and with outsourcing companies, enhanced merits by direct transactions, while avoided demerits through clear division of works and coordination by the factory manager. Integration of factory operators was advanced furthermore by enhancing "visualization (implementation of visual control)" and by changing jobs of staff. In this factory employees noted again the principle of Toyota production systems that make excellent quality products at just-in-time. In the results they thought that this factory is better suited with "push system" and "hybrid system" rather than "pull system" of production. Concerning production lot, they made use of period lots for production to order. Concerning the number of operators and equipments they prepared capacity buffer for working flexibly. In this factory the trust relationship between top management and factory manager, factory manager and operators, gave good effects for the integration of cell production systems. In this way cell production systems of the case were constructed on the foundation of lean production systems. It seems that for a factory without any foundations of lean production system, it is difficult to construct these cell production systems as this factory developed.
