Heima Kajiwara, who was the chief retainer of the Aizu-han in the last days of the Edo period, disappeared suddenly in the beginning of the Meiji period. He had a child with Futaba Yamakawa in the Edo period and some children with Tei Mizuno in the Meiji period. Futaba had been brought up under strictly 'Samurai' ethic of woman in the Aizu-han and worked in the Tokyo Women's College of Education. Tei was an advanced woman who founded a free, private elementary school in Nemuro, Hokkaido and worked to promote the importance of Education. Recently the re-evaluation of Tei's work brought with it the discovery of the location of Heima's tomb. The discovery clarified what happened at the end of Heima's life. Both Futaba and Tei brought up their children while working and single. Both women did not adhere to the traditional conventions of marriage, and lived their lives without depending on their husband.

The wage increase is the inevitable issues to expanding domestic demand for Japan which is faced with the challenge of overcoming deflation. In this situation, since the 2000s, the measuring standard/minimum cost of living has attracted attention for wage increase policy. National trade union centers and researchers measured them. This paper compares four standard/minimum cost of living. Our findings are as follows. The difference in level is large to say the standard/minimum cost of living. Then, to enhance the effectiveness of measuring standard/minimum cost of living for the wage increase policy, the more research on the standard of living and wages being guaranteed to the workers is required.

In the beginning of the Kamakura era, the King Enma Hall (Enmaō-dō) was established in Daigoji temple. During this period, Senyōmon-in was the sixth imperial princess in the line of Retired Emperor Goshirakawa-in and the head of a gogan sub-temple. She was deeply devoted to Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, but when and how did such devotion begin? The key is found in the incident of an ecstasy she experienced at the age of 17. The recounting of her own experience, a document that was thus far ignored by scholars, is an invaluable testimony that revolves around the mind and body of women in Medieval Japan. The paper sheds light on this story's connection to the magical powers of an Esoteric practice known as Enmei shōkon sahō. I will argue that this event was the starting point for the construction of the King Enma Hall by Senyōmon-in and the monk Seigen.

Kenjiro Yamakawa of Aizu fought in the Boshin War on the losing side. After the war, he studied abroad at Yale University in the early Meiji era, earning a PhD in physics. Later, he served as president of Tokyo Imperial University and led the education world in the Meiji period. Kenjiro’s eldest son Makoto took a wife named Yoshi from the Kajii family of military doctors from Daishouji. According to the “Aizu Zakki” recorded by Yoshi and preserved by her descendants, Kenjiro had informed Yoshi about the history of the Chugoku region and the Aizu clan, the relatives of the Yamakawa family, and his knowledge of waka poetry. The records show that Kenjiro passed on knowledge and education to his eldest son’s wife and expected her to support the Yamakawa family. People of Aizu who moved to Tokyo maintained a sense of belonging to Aizu, which helped discipline themselves even after the modern era. Descendants of Yoshi, too, live in modern society with a sense of pride and identification with their ancestor’s hometown.

Ikuko Araki, in the 1913 photo with the members of Seito-sha, a newly organized feminist group, looks like an innocent little dreamy-eyed girl. She is my aunt, and the elder sister of my father Toichiro Araki. How did this sweet and innocent looking woman come to be labeled in the Japanese news media as a "notorious" playgirl, and wanton woman who defied convention? And how did it happen that years later she was referred to as the magnanimous Kohkuh Bokan (aircraft carrier) that reached out to so many?

Images of the Nine Stages of the Decay of the Flesh (Kusōzu) were painted In the Hall of King Yama (Enmaōdō) at Daigoji temple, which was built at the behest of Sen'yōmon-in after the Jōkyū no ran uprising. This is probably the first example of a religious space in Japan where the officials of the underworld are depicted in conjunction with the kusō imagery, but what rituals and words formed the basis for this imagery? In this paper, I have focused on Jōkei's "Mujô no kotoba" (Words on Impermanence) and Go-Toba's "Mujō kōshiki" (Ritual Lecture on Impermanence) and make clear that these are indispensable ritual texts for understanding this religious space. Moreover, I argue that the significance of the building of the Enmaōdō is tied to Sen'yōmon-in's active engagement in the practical implementation of her faith.

I conducted a study on Sakurai Onnajuku, which was headed by female educators Chika Sakurai and Fuki Kuratsuji, who were families to each other. The study revealed how the said cram school was merged with Nihonjoshi Koutougakuin.The year of the merger was "1941". It was confirmed that before the war, the faculty members of Nihonjoshi Koutougakuin valued English education without being tied to the prevalent public opinion of expelling English.As they celebrate their 100th anniversary of establishment, they would like to continue promoting education and research so that women can play an active role in and open up their lives to our globalizing society.

In his Lives of Saints, Ælfric (c. 955-c.1010) dealt with the Life of Saint Eugenia, which is one of the most popular legends of the transvestite saints in Medieval Europe. It is worth to discuss how Ælfric treats Eugenia in the story, which inevitably contains the matters of sacred and secular sexuality. For further investigation, this article provides the diplomatic text of Ælfric’s ‘Life of Saint Eugenia’ in MS Cotton Julius E. vii, British Library, and compares in detail the newly edited text with Skeat’s edition.

Most recent job satisfaction studies are quantitative rather than qualitative in their methodology. Therefore, this research employs interviews to clearly elucidate the elements of job satisfaction. The sample for this investigation was formed by 16 people who have lived in the metropolitan area in Tokai and Kansai district, and who are currently employed. The results obtained from the analysis of the interviews clarified that job satisfaction can be explained through four elements: evaluation or recognition, personal growth, wages, and life satisfaction. The examination clearly demonstrates that overall job satisfaction is related both to intrinsic and extrinsic motivation under conditions of positive human relationships within an office. The findings also reveal that the sense of job satisfaction is further influenced by an individual’s feeling of fulfillment in personal life, indicating a synergy between job and life satisfaction.

AElfric (c.955-c.1010) composed Lives of Saints at the request of AEthelweard and AEthelmæ, who were known as strong supporters of Benedictine Reform in the 10th century England. In the Lives, he dealt with "married saints" as well as church men, kings, soldiers and female virgin martyrs in order to strengthen Christian faith among monks and keen lay audience as his patrons. AElfric's concern about married saints, who preserve virginity in marriage, is unique because no other contemporary authors such as Wulfstan treated this sensitive issue, which could disturb the boundary between secular and sacred lives and give rise to religious disputes.Latin Lives originally came from the continent to England and it had been received by English authors such as Aldhelm in the 7th century, Bede in the 8th century and anonymous authors of Old English Martyrology in the 9th century. In the process of transmission, the original texts, including married saints, had been changed consciously or unconsciously by the authors, which are expected to reflect authors' intentions. This paper provides deplomatic texts of three couples of married saints (Julian and Basilissa, Cecilia and Valerian and Chrythansus and Daria) in AElfric's Lives of Saints on the basis of the early eleventh century English manuscript (Cotton Julius E Vii), comparing with the former two editions, Skeat (1898-1900) and Upchurch (2007), so that they could allow us for close examination of AElfric's treatment of these saints.
