The market size of the Japanese restaurant industry peaked at 29 trillionyen in 1997 and has been sluggish since then. Even more problematic isthat it is likely to decrease further in the future. According to the Japanesegovernment's announcement, due to the declining birthrate, Japan'spopulation is expected to reach 86.74 million by 2060, a significant decreasefrom the present. In other words, unlike the situation so far, it is predictedthat Japan will experience a serious population decline in the medium tolong term, which will inevitably reduce the market size of the Japanesefood service industry.Under these circumstances, the Japanese food service industry hasreached a time when it should seek new growth opportunities. The growthopportunity is, inevitably, to enter overseas markets where the populationis growing rapidly and income is rising significantly. In particular, the foodservice market in developing and emerging markets in Asia is likely todevelop significantly in the future.In this paper, based on this situation, we analyzed the actual situation ofthe overseas expansion of the Japanese restaurant industry, especiallyfocusing on the expansion into the Taiwanese market.

Nagasaki city, with a population today of 420,000, used to be a poor village until OhmuraSumitada, a feudal lord, authorized its opening as a port and the initiation of commerce withPortuguese merchants in 1571. Not only trading merchants but also many Christians moved intothis village and colonized it. More than 15 churches were built in the small area one after another,and the village resounded far and wide with church bells, reminiscent of Rome itself. So Nagasakicame to be called "Little Rome." As a matter of fact, the village was donated to the Society ofJesus. The village seemed to grow and flourish, but its prosperous years failed to last, contraryto expectations.In 1614, the ban on Christianity was issued, which led to attacks on Catholicism, including thedestruction of churches and the persecution of Christians. Churches were replaced by temples.Christians were supposed to disappear completely.So Buddhist ceremonies came to be held in Nagasaki. One such ceremony was the BonFestival, which used to be held in the middle of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. Thesolar calendar introduced by the Meiji Government caused a upheaval of events and seasons. Themiddle of the seventh month ( July) in the solar calendar is in the midst of the rainy season, nota suitable season for the Bon Festival. During the Bon Festival, Nagasaki people usually visit theirancestors' grave with their family, clean and decorate the grave, and offer food to their ancestors.It is common for many families to hold a banquet at the graveyard to entertain their visitors,which in former times often resulted in the spread of plague. After a heated discussion, aconclusion was reached : the Bon Festival would be moved to mid-August (the eighth month).During the Bon Festival, people welcome the spirits of the deceased to visit their homes, tostay with their families until the last day of Bon, when the spirits have to return to Jodo, theBuddhist Pure Land. So the family make a ship (called Shorobune) for the spirit, carry it to theseashore, and launch it to sail to the West. This custom is called Shoronagashi. At first, the shipswere quite humble affairs, but over time people wanted to make them fancier as they werebelieved to carry the spirits to Jodo. Many families who lose a family member start making sucha ship.Shoronagashi is, in other words, a spirit boat procession unique to Nagasaki. On the last day ofthe Bon Festival, a large number of ships of various sizes are carried by family members and theirfriends to the seaside area to be sailed to so-called Jodo. The streets leading to the shore throngwith ships and people. Firecrackers explode here and there, and earsplitting noises can be heardall around. People carrying the ships shout with passion. So the procession of the ships isnoisy but joyous. Behavior generally disallowed in daily life and acts beyond the bounds ofcommon sense are traditionally permitted only during Shoronagashi.On arriving at the spot to release the ship, however, deep sorrow falls on the revelers all of asudden. Everybody is filled with a sense of loss and deprivation, recalling the feeling of a ratherdifferent event. Indeed, it seems akin to a funeral, or rather, a second funeral. To be more precise,this event ought to be considered the formal funeral.When the family member passed away, his or her funeral was performed.It was naturally a private funeral. Everything may well have been done all too quickly. Or thefamily might have had no time to think about reflecting their deceased member's intentions. Theysimply followed the instructions of the funeral director. But if this Shoronagashi is regarded as theformal funeral, all the people of Nagasaki, regardless of faith, can join the Bon ceremony to shiptheir ancestors to their respective destinations, whether Jodo, Paradise or elsewhere.Even Christians, if they wish to, can join this event, which originated from Buddhism, withoutqualms, attesting to the fact that Christianity came first to Nagasaki, and Buddhism second.Nagasaki has grown larger through these faiths as a remarkable city.

In his presentation of the secondary grade curriculum for the young, the Athenian stranger refers to the matter, which it is disgraceful not to know: the problems concerning "the essential nature of the commensurable and the incommensurable." (820c) The reference appears immediately after the Athenian stranger's introduction to three branches of learning: arithmetic, geometry, and astrology (817e), whose detailed study is necessary for only 'a few' (818a). Referring to the instruction of the essential nature of the commensurable and the incommensurable, what matter did Plato exactly have in his mind? G. R. Morrow said that the introduction of the problem of incommensurable magnitudes to the curriculum was "an innovation to which Plato attaches peculiar importance" and also that although the belief that "all magnitudes are somehow commensurable with one another is natural to us," seeing that this belief is in fact false would be to rise above one's human nature." Although the saying seems to hit the mark, Morrow did not fully explain why Plato's introduction to the learning of incommensurable magnitudes was "an innovation" which had a "peculiar importance" and how the subject-matter of the incommensurable could "emancipate the student from his instinctive sense-bound beliefs and thus, ・・・・・・raise him above his human nature." (pp.346-7) However, it is worth listening to his other words which bear on the significance of mathematical thinking in the context of legislation: "the law, as we learn in the Philebus, results from the application of the Limit (περα〓) to an indefinitely varying qualitative continuum (απειρου), and the Limit is conceived of as analogous to mathematical order." The words could be settled more aptly in the context of the incommensurable. I insist that Plato here in the dialogue Laws, referring to the peculiar importance of the incommensurable, gives an inkling of the fact that the scientific knowledge of the incommensurable has an isomorphic property with that faculty that discerns "the identical element which pervades all the four virtues" (965c). That is to say, Plato identifies the method by which the nature of the incommensurable magnitudes can be explained as a significant model in order to "hold very tight and not to let go"(965d) until we can adequately explain the essential nature of the object existing as a unity. In other words, the detailed study of the incommensurable is of great advantage to 'a few' (818a) who are expected to be members of the Nocturnal Council and who "must not only be able to pay regard to the many, but must be able also to press towards the one (pros to hen) so as to discern it and, on discerning it, to survey and organize all the rest with a single eye to it" (965b), since the fruit of this offers them a convenient paradigm in medium of which they may master an isomorphic way in order to see the invisible one. Plato's reference to the problem of the incommensurable in the Laws is at first sight negative. After his labor to explain the necessity of a subject concerning the incommensurable, the Athenian stranger says that it is to be laid down provisionally only, 'like pledges capable of redemption, apart from the rest of our constitution, in case they fail to satisfy either us who enact them or you for whom they are enacted.' (820e). However, the utterance is paradoxical in the same way as the introduction of the Nocturnal Council in the closing books of the Laws appears paradoxically to be an appendix, whereas in reality the whole constitution of Magnesia is rooted in the Council. Both facts correspond to one another and put Plato's metaphysical thinking out of our sight. Focusing the implications of philosophical dimensions of the incommensurable in the Laws, I will try to bring them into the relevance to Plato's metaphysical thought in the other dialogues and the Seventh Letter VII, where the deepest tenet on the incommensurable or the cognate ideas make their appearance vividly.

In ancient India, the Buddhist samgha as a self-governing community maintained order by means of its own law called "vinaya." Violators were punished according to vinaya. On the other hand, all Buddhists, whether monks or laymen, were expected to follow particular customs called "sila." Unlike vinaya, this was not compulsory and did not carry penalties. In Japan far away from the original land of Buddhism, no one paid attention to the distinction between vinaya and sila, because temples were the apparatus of government and there was no samgha to be governed by vinaya. Under such circumstances, Saicho (766-822) openly repudiated vinaya and replaced it with sila. From that time down to this day, the Japanese have been convinced that the essence of true Buddhism consists in the repudiation of vinaya.

This essay examines how gardens of Japan were perceived by Western authors in the 19th century, by analyzing the writings of Edward S. Morse (1838_1925), John La Farge (1835_1910), Basil H. Chamberlain (1850_1935), and Lafcadio Hearn (1850_1904), who also played an important role in introducing Japanese culture to Western readers. Japanese gardens had already been introduced by Josiah Conder, an English architect and the author of Landscape Gardening in Japan (1893). Conder methodically explained the history, composition, and ornaments of Japanese gardens as well as introducing some well known gardens in Japan. The essay will compare and analyze how the four authors described Japanese gardens, and also the impact of Conder's writing on them. Morse, a zoologist, described how stones were precisely placed in order to compose a whole garden, and interpreted such features as reflecting the "reserve and sense of propriety" of Japanese people, based on his observation. La Farge, an artist who initiated Japonisme in the United States, visited Nikko with Okakura Tenshin (1862_1913) and Ernest Fenollosa (1853_1908) and described how a garden is drawn from nature and expresses "the ideas of peace and chastity, quiet old age, connubial happiness, and the sweetness of solitude".Chamberlain, a linguist, and Hearn, known for his numerous and influential writings on Japan, each refers to Conder's book, yet there is a stark contrast in the way they described and interpreted Japanese gardens. In Things Japanese, Chamberlain summarized the principal points of Conder's writing and presented a brief digest of Japanese gardens in a rather indifferent manner. Hearn also extracted some essential points from Conder's writing, yet he beautifully described the garden of his house in Matsue, and emphasized that how to "feel" is a key to understanding Japanese gardens. Reflecting the influence of Spencer's ideas, Hearn argued that to appreciate Japanese gardens requires one to understand Japanese people's innate sensibility.

Scientific investigation in early nineteenth century England was based on natural theology. The evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin was also based on natural thelogy. Most contemporary scholars and clergy accepted the evolution of organisms as providential evolution, that is, evolution guided by God. Darwinian theory did not reject the idea of providential evolution. Darwinian theory, however, also has a revolutionary factor, which implies a mechanical interpretation of the adaptation of organisms. Modern biologists acknowledge only this revolutionary factor in Darwinism. But in order to understand properly the historical significance of Darwinism, we must recognize the religious factor in Darwinism. In this article we analyse the theological background of Darwinism and survey the contemporary reception of Darwinism.

In the U.K., Pitt's sinking fund was established in 1786 to deal with the accumulation of national debt. Pitt's fund regarded the compound interest principle as important. The initial fund was supported by a budgetary surplus of some one million pounds. But as the nation rushed into the war with France in 1793, extraordinary budgetary deficits emerged. Under such circumstances, the sinking fund, which was founded on the principle of compound interest, was obliged to depend on the new issue of government bonds as its source. Consequently the sinking fund merely embodied a policy of' raising sinking funds by borrowing money'. Criticism against the wastefulness of Pitt's fund flared up after the war, the leading critics being R. Hamilton and D. Ricardo. As a result, the fund was abandoned in 1828 after more than 40 year's duration. Hamilton mainly criticized the policy of 'raising sinking funds by floating new government bonds', but he also never overlooked the fictitious nature of the compound interest principle. In the present-day Japan, National Debt Consolidation Fund(NDCF)bears the role of a sinking fund. Corresponding to the so-called re-flotation of national debt in 1965 F.Y., it was decided to annually transfer a sum of money(equal to 1.6% of the outstanding national debt at the beginning of the previous year)from government's general accounts to NDCF. The figure of 1.6% corresponds to the durable life of the facilities that the government was expected to build(in the case of construction bonds), and it was assumed the government would recover its investment in 60 years. NDCF was to deposit and employ this sum to redeem outstanding debts. Now, as this 1.6% deposit is inserted into the annual disbursements budget as a main item under bond expenditures, it unavoidably increases the sum of budgetary expenditures. Therefore, under the circumstances of persistent budgetary deficit, the sum of the above deposit increases the annual volume of newly issued government bonds by that very sum. The result is as follows: to meet the necessary sum for the sinking fund, the government is compelled to raise money by issuing new government bonds. Thus the scale of annual government revenue/expenditure is amplified to the same extent. If this waste of labor could be justified, it would be in the case where the sinking fund usefully fulfills the function of debt management, or in the case where the fund plays the role of emergency reserves. But neither function could be nor should be expected with regard to NDCF. Our present NDCF seems to continue only by inertia and only for the purpose of exhibiting the government's pose that it is not idle in trying to reduce the national debt. The sinking fund in present-day Japan has not employed the principle of compound interest, so that its fictitious character is not easily exposed. But it is not likely that we will be able to escape the unsparing criticisms made by Robert Hamilton some 200 years ago.

The color blue is seen on the borders of the inside and outside of a home, in this world and the next world, so it is the color of the funeral, the marriage and other rites. Messengers from the other world used to wear blue clothes, and maids or servants of this world had blue clothes on. The executioner's clothes had something blue and the condemned criminal's had, too. A sacrifice, human or animal, had something blue. A man on his deathbed would change his usual clothes for blue ones. The dead person was thought to be an offering to the gods. The color blue was the symbol of giving vigor and energy to the god. The blue colors were used from the royal divine families to the common people. On the New Year, Emperors of China and Japan put on blue clothes. The Virgin Mary also wore a blue mantle.

Dojoji is the famous temple for the wicked love story of Anchin and Kiyohime. But there is also an another legend of Kaminaga-hime (Princess Long Hair) which tells of the origin of the temple. There once was a fisherman's daughter who had beautiful long hair by grace of Kannon figure to which she always prayed. One day a bird brought some of her hairs to the imperial palace. Discovering the hairs, the emperor ordered his servants to find the owner of the hairs in order to marry her. Brought to the palace and made a favorite of the emperor, the fisherman's daughter although was sad because she had abandoned the Kannon figure. Dojoji was built by the emperor who sympathized with her anxiety for the Kannon figure. On the discovery of the golden hairs brought by a bird, King Mark had Iseult brought from Ireland by Tristan to his palace. The story of Kaminaga-hime of Dojoji is a variation of "Tristan and Iseult". In addition, Kaminaga-hime of Dojoji is not an isolated case in Japan. In Kojiki we can also find another version of "Tristan and Iseult". Kaminaga-hime of Hyuga province was sent to Yamato to marry Emperor Ojin. Nintoku, son of the emperor, falls in love with her because of her enormous beauty and became sick of impossibility of his love. Ojin, acquainted with the agony of his son, decides to concede his beautiful fiancee to him. This relation of three persons (Kaminaga-hime, Nintoku, and Ojin), recalls the triangular relation of Iseult, Tristan, and Mark. The folklore tales of "Esugata-nyobo (The Portrait of the Beauty)" which succeed those of Kaminaga-hime, are found from north to south in Japan. In those tales a portrait enchants a lord instead of hairs. Looking by accident at a portrait of a beauty, a lord commands his retainers to fetch and carry her to his castle. Her husband, surprised at the sudden disappearance of his beloved, comes to the castle where she is living melancholically with the lord. Then, her husband, profiting by his excellent musical skill, succeeds in exiling the lord and regains his wife. It is needless to say that Tristan is an expert at the lute and the violin. The Chondara theater still remains in Okinawa. It is said that Chondara is the name of the musician who came from Kyoto and brought Japanese traditional music to Okinawa. Chondara had a very beautiful wife, whose portrait was blown by the wind and was gained by the Emperor. Emperor wanted her and ordered hie men to abduct her in order to satisfy his desire. In his deep desperation, Chondara came to the castle and performed music well in the presence of his beloved and the abductor. Chondara did not succeed to regain her, but being awarded the fief of Okinawa, had to live alone as a musician there. Tristan, of course, at last lived in Bretagne, crossing over the sea, far away from Iseult.

Japan invaded Korea and annexed it 100 years ago. Although the official policy of the Japanese government was to treat the Koreans on an equal basis with the Japanese, this ideal was not translated into action. As the conquerors, the Japanese were thoroughly convinced of their superiority over the Koreans, and applied terrible policies and behavior toward them. Before World War II, Japan faced a severe shortage of manpower, and the lack of industrial material as well. The Japanese government tried to alleviate such a manpower shortage by importing Koreans. Before the annexation of Korea in 1910, only several hundred Korean residents in Japan were reported. In 1945, the number of Koreans in Japan was determined to be as many as 2,000,000. After World War II, about 500,000 Koreans remained in Japan. At the conclusion of the U.S.-Japan Peace Treaty in San Francisco in 1952, all Koreans in Japan lost Japanese citizenship, and their suffering increased through unfair policies. For many years, the Japanese Church ignored its duty to be the liberator of suffering Koreans. As an agent of the prewar imperial government, it became an oppressor for Koreans in Japan. However, after the 1970's the Japanese Church began to cooperate with the Korean Church in Japan and seriously worked for Korean minority in Japan. The Japanese Church is working to combat not only unfair employment discrimination against Korean-Japanese but also numerous other kinds of injustice practiced by the Japanese government. This paper will attempt to clarify the relationship between minority issues in the context of the Korean-Japanese and the resistance movements conducted by the Church and people in Japan. It will also provide prospective suggestions to resolve the issue of Korean discrimination in Japan from the point of view of Christian ethics.
