Gakudo-hoiku-shisetsu(after-school childcare facility, the whole system is also called gakudo)provide after-school day-care of elementary school age children whose parents are both working, and of children of single parents. Some local governments provide after-school child-care services for all elementary school age students and in some cases gakudo is included in the services. Yokohama city provides the above services separately, using classrooms of elementary schools for the general student population, while using private houses, apartments and other facilities for the gakudo children. For the purpose of finding out(1)the effect of locating gakudo outside of schools while other students’ after-school activities take place inside schools, and(2)environmental problems related to gakudo, the author surveyed 9 gakudo facilities in K-ward, Yokohama city. The staff responded to a questionnaire and inquiries. Analysis of the results shows that having gakudo in smaller venues and with smaller numbers of children enables better communication and increased comfort; that for the children, moving to the facility after school brings about a positive change; and that locating gakudo outside of schools helps ensure that local buildings are fully utilized. But the interior and exterior environment of many of these off-site facilities remain inadequate. The change to the system that may be most urgently needed is to find better off-site venues. This is where the administration could intervene most effectively.

The System for Self-Support of Needy Person was established in 2000 as a second safety net, with the aim of building up a comprehensive support system that would enable poor people to attain independence and dignity. This paper traces the history of how that system was adopted, and discusses how it is related to the Public Assistance Act. The paper also looks at how the system actually works, and points out the problems it has. The author argues that customized services designed by educated and experienced professional social workers are one of the keys to the success of this system.

This brief essay is a case study of a young Japanese man’s intercultural experience between 1870-73. Kenzo Hirosawa, an adopted son of the prominent Chōshū politician Saneomi Hirosawa, had a rare opportunity of living with the US consul in Tokyo for almost a year before leaving for New York to study. Articles written about Kenzo and his uncatalogued papers illustrate the vivid and often turbulent aspects of international education in early Meiji period.

This paper explores descriptions of natural planting as a hobby in the book, Shumi Taikan published in 1935, focusing on bonsai. The study explains how the number of cultural pundits who enjoyed hobbies and built relationships with each other increased in early Showa Japan.Chapter 1 describes the community and context surrounding bonsai and explains its importance. Earlier studies on the history of bonsai are also examined. Chapter 2 summarizes hobbies related to natural planting that are described in Shumi Taikan. Chapter 3 classifies bonsai pundits by experience and describes their characteristics. Chapter 4 summarizes the construction of hobby organizations by area and name of organization and also appraises a large-scale exhibition held at Hibiya Park.This study verifies that an increasing number of publications by bonsai pundits and of botanical centers on natural planting as a hobby in early Showa Japan resulted in widespread recognition of bonsai. Bonsai was initially recognized as a new type of culture that was considered harmonious with sencha and suitable as ornaments for tokonoma. Thereafter, hobby groups were systematically formed and small- to large-scale exhibitions were held. Bonsai was favorably received by the public, leading to an increase in exhibitions. Bonsai developed into an art form from the time it came to be considered unique to Japan, rather than as part of Asian culture in general.

Social Media, such as LINE, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, are getting more and more popular and becoming an indispensable part of everyday life. We select and use these ubiquitous social infrastructures, which have different characters. This research tries to show the relationship between such selective utilization of social media and Bourdieu’s concept, “habitus.” The results of our internet survey suggest that users’ leisure activities correlate with their favored form of social media. The style of leisure activity is related to users’ choice of social media, and can be considered a form of habitus.

This paper introduces and analyzes accounts of young women’s skill at playing koto, shamisen, and piano that appeared in the women’s magazine Fujingaho between 1926 to 1940. The analysis suggests that, whereas in the Taisho period, young ladies (reijo [令嬢])were encouraged to develop their taste in a number of kinds of Japanese traditional and Western music rather than focusing on just a few kinds and attaining a deeper understanding of the few they had chosen, in the early Showa period, modern Western culture was increasingly accepted as prestigious, and young Japanese women’s taste in music came to be seen as a part of their training to be good brides, but at the same time Japanese nationalism that emphasized “Japanese-ness” also came to the fore. The author concludes that, though further research is needed to confirm this, by the time people began to think that acquiring skills through hobbies was a useful component of bridal training, a new prototype of what young women should be had emerged.
