So many Korean people live in Osaka and most of the people have been from Jeju Island. Because the liner route was established between Osaka and Jeju in 1920's, a lot of Jeju people have been to Osaka to get their daily bread. Though a lot of people returned to Jeju before and after liberating from the colonization, not a few people have gone to Japan again to avoid the political turmoil due to Jeju 4.3 affair afterwards. The existent research is not necessarily much accumulated about lives of Korean people in this period. So we considered reconstructing the present age life-size history of the East Asia by oral history of the Jeju people in Japan.

This paper has a purpose to analyze a collaborative work of Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto. Sugimoto wrote a book called A Daughter of the Samurai in English in 1925. The book received wide recognition both in America and Europe. Although A Daughter of the Samurai classified as an autobiography, we could clarify the book as a work of fiction. I would like to show a collaborator of this book, an American woman called Florence Mills Wilson. Sugimoto and Wilson were life long friends, worked together with their united hearts and minds. Their cross-cultural experiences led to a collaborative work of a life story of a daughter of the samurai, contained full of sympathy.

The purpose of this article is to examine the internal migration of a person burnt out by an urban air raid. With the expansion of air raids on Japan's urban centers during the war, a large number of civilians were burnt out of their homes. Therefore, the government pushed forward a plan to have such people emigrate to farm villages. However, such people have so far not been studied in historical research. We carried out an interview investigation in a farm village in Hokkaido to which such people migrated. Therefore, in this report, we want to consider the local emigration of a person burnt out by an urban air raid based on interview data.

Recently, there are active discussions on "Tojisha" studies in Japan. "Tojisha" means "the person concerned." In this paper, I considered the development possibility of minority studies on "the person concerned" or "Tojisha" ethnographers among the minority. I surveyed some advantages and difficulties of being "Tojisha" ethnographers in the field. First, one of the advantages of the "Tojisha" ethnographers is that the "Tojisha" person belongs to the same culture and community, so he/she does not have to study the culture and community. Next, one of the difficulties of the "Tojisha" ethnographers in the field would be that they would be confused as fellow ethnographers. By just being in the same culture and community, they may empathize too much with each other. They empathize but may lack the objectivity, since they can see from the point of view of the same culture and community. These advantages and difficulties could be the cause of problems, because these two things tend to be advantages and difficulties that are likely to be inextricably linked by fact. Therefore, I will introduce "Autoethnography" as a writing method of the "Tojisha" ethnographers.

In this text, the movement to excavate remains in Shumarinai is analyzed. When remains function as media to tell the past, these show character of the interpretation diversity and operativeness, exceeding the individual of remains. In addition to, remains don't approve by a one-sided interpretation by the person in the mournful act. It is because the subjectivity of remains often appears. It is shown that remains function so that the person represents voices of dead. Moreover, the grief that the person has accumulated is comforted by the representation. And, participants come to be able to consent and to share the meaning of the remains by the representation. However, the representation has danger that can exclude other interpretations at any time. It is necessary to keep such both of the relation between the person and the dead.

The purposes of this study are to clarify the actual learning/teaching situation of Japanese education in Viet Nam before Doi Moi era and to explore the personal mean-making toward their job by analyzing oral histories of three Vietnamese who learned Japanese language in either USSR or North Korea. By examining their oral histories, the study shows in detail how they learned Japanese language in USSR or North Korea, and how they managed the Japanese language courses at higher education in 1960-80s. The study also finds that they eventually built the personal attachments toward their jobs which brought social affirmation to them even thought at first, they reluctantly accepted Japanese language learning/teaching as their allocated mission.

This paper focuses on so- called “tacit farming”, farming and related activities done by locals in the military lands in Okinawa. After the WW2, the US military secured large-scale military lands to build bases in Okinawa. By the late 1950s, not a few people “tacitly” started farming in these lands. Tacit farmers lost their “tacit farm” whenever the military decides to lock them out, and they get no compensation. And, traditionally, land ownership is absolutely superior to the right to till in Okinawa and tenant rights are not secured. However, “Tacit farming” plays important roles not only in Okinawan agriculture but also in keeping connection with old “Sima”, or the ancestral space with their sanctuaries. In this paper I would like to show the significance of the “tacit farming” and the right to till, referring to interviews from my fieldworks in middle part of Okinawa.

The ghost is omitted from academic researches of the Battle of Okinawa. However, people have told ghost stories after the war. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility that ghosts can be another voice narrating the Battle of Okinawa through relationships between ghosts and people who tell about the battle. Some people can "see" ghosts, in other words, imagine them with reality. Such people live in a middle area that is neither near nor far from death. They have no intense experiences of war, but know about traces of it. On the other hand, ghosts are invisible to those of the younger generation who do not know about war and to the people who faced death during the war. This is because ghosts exist in the border area between the world of life and the world of death. Ghosts of Okinawa not only perform individual acts but also convert private experience into public memory by their fearfulness.

This article discusses the U.S. nuclear testing issues in the Marshall Islands, focusing on the Ailuk people who are "overlooked victims," developing the idea not only with the testimonies of 48 Ailuk people but also using the U.S. official documents. It is clear that the effects of the U.S. nuclear test have also extended to the Ailuk atoll located 525km away from the hypocenter, though the U.S. government has not officially admitted the fact yet. The finding suggests that the U.S. has underestimated the nuclear test effects on the local people in the Marshall Islands. This article is also unique in terms of the oral history methodology, in which a pile of the declassified U.S. official documents are compared with the testimonies of survivors that were exhaustively gathered through fieldworks.

Roughly, the area that the Okinawan people have settled is classified into two, which are due to Pre-War settlement by migrant workers and the post-war repatriation from overseas. In modern Japanese society Okinawan people are newcomers, who have come together to form the "Okinawan" settlement. In doing so they endured the hard life on the mainland. However, they as the workforce have contributed to the development of modern Japan. Housing is a group of strategies, which has emphasized the structure of discrimination. As a consequence, the Okinawan people have pushed the return movement to Japan. Ethnicity was an important point for the organization and establishment of the Okinawan People's Congress.

In this paper I intend to describe how a Japanese group has built a confidential relationship with women survivors in China, who have suffered from sexual violence committed by Japanese soldiers in the Japan-China War between 1937 to 1945. A Japanese group visited China and listened to the stories of women survivors in their villages from 1996, twice a year in average. The Group has realized that listening to the survivors implies that they mutually construct a confidential relationship with women survivors and that the Japanese are able to understand the reality and extent of the war damage Chinese have experienced. In addition, members of the group have always asked themselves why they have listened to the survivors. Thus, they have changed their methodology for research on history, etc.

As a student of the history of women, I have been, for more than 10 years, attempting to reconstruct the historical perspective of the Occupation period of Japan, utilizing a standpoint of gender equality and a methodology of oral history. Re-examining the period through the life experiences of women of the occupied country exposes completely different aspects of the occupation period of Japan from the so-called "good occupation" described by hitherto mainstream historians. Among them, it is especially important to look into the experiences of prostitutes, recruited at RAA (Recreation and Amusement Association) sexual "comfort" facilities created by the Japanese authorities for the Occupation forces, and of street girls, called "Pan Pan," dealing with US soldiers. This time, after conducting a field survey of RAA and the "red-light districts" constructed at that time by the authorities in Atami, I have reported my finding that at present these women are unable to disclose their experiences. I have frankly asked the participants at the conference what kind of oral history methodology to use in this situation, in order to break the barrier between the past and present. I have obtained various useful suggestions from diverse standpoints.

What kind of wisdom does the life story studies provide? And what kind of effects is made on human being and society by the life story studies? Further, what is the problem in practicing that? In this paper, I shall discuss these problems by considering actual case practices in my research production and the reader's reaction. First of all, the essential substance of the life story approach to holistic life is made clear. The second point is that the life story approach to the holistic life provides the ability to generate, which is developed between interviewee, interviewer/writer and reader. This is the "what" which the life story studies provide. The third point is that the social/sociological meaning of this ability to duplicate is to deepen and expand democracy, which constructs a new historical and social reality. In conclusion, I would argue that research expression is required in order to connect the "how" with the "what".

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the conditions for the succession of a traditional Japanese art. For this purpose, I have selected Kamishichiken, one of the five geisha communities of Kyoto that have fostered a culture of hospitality. I analyzed the aspects of succession by participant observation and by collecting the conversations of hosts and guests. In comparison with the Gion-kobu geisha community, I found Kamishichiken is small in scale and self-enclosed but focused on the quality of arts. Furthermore, it has a close relationship with Nishijin textile merchants. And I found that "patrons," called danna, have three features: financial patron, educator of geisha, and individual developing in relation to Kamishichiken. From the viewpoint of the customer, we can see the synergism of social change in the distinctive geisha community by interlacing micro and macro perspectives. Although changes are inevitable, by looking at the change and continuity from various perspectives it is possible to understand the geisha community within the context of broader social changes.
