On August 8, 2016, the “Emperor's Statement Regarding His Majesty's Duty as the Symbol of the State”(henceforth, “The Statement”) was presented to the public. In 2017 the Japanese Diet enacted a special law (henceforth, “Special law”) that provided a legal exception to the Imperial Houshold Law, which allowed the abdication of the sitting Emperor at that time. At the end of April 2019, the now Emperor Emeritus abdicated the Chrysanthemum Throne, and on the next day, the current Emperor made His Majesty’s Accession. Just after “The Statement” was presented, a question was raised regarding whether such a Statement could be seen as giving rise to a conflict with the clause of the Constitution of Japan stating that “The Emperor…shall not have power related to government” (Art.4, Cl.1). During an interview by Asahi Shimbun I previously stated that “The Statement” needs not be deemed unconstitutional. I, however, suggested, that the reason why “The Statement” is not unconstitutional is, in fact, not so simple to answer and made clear that providing such reasoning would require a more precise, in-depth legal analysis. This article is the result of my theoretical research into the reason, why “The Statement” need not be deemed unconstitutional. It can not be denied that there was causal relationship between “The Statement” and the enactment of the special law regarding the Emperors abdication―causal in the sense, that if “The Statement” was not presented, the Special Law would not have been timely enacted to allow the Emperor Emeritus's abdication. On the other hand, recognition needs to be made that the contents of “The Statement”―itself, does not include any direct political appeal to the People. Instead, “The Statement” provided objective explanations regarding, among others, the following points: how His Majesty embraced the role as the “Symbol of the State” under the Constitution of Japan; and the anticipated future difficulties in fulfilling the Emperor's duties because of His Majesty’s advanced age. To this end, we can therefore say that―by presenting these explanations―the Emperor Emeritus actually fulfilled His Majesty’s responsibility as the “Symbol of the State”. Perhaps there may have been some levels of “guessing” by the People regarding the Emperor Emeritus's Inner Thoughts” and His Majesty's wishes to abdicate. But, especially in the case of Emperor Emeritus, what can not be said is that the abdication was realized via the Emperor's “authority” or the difference in the relative positioning of the Emperor to the People. And, on that note, we find that even the manner in which “The Statement” was presented did not create a conflict with the constitutional law.

With which crime should be charged, for example, against the parents who have caused the death of their child through negligence? As a regulation related to this act, the following is considered. First, in Japanese criminal law, Article 218 (Abandonment by the Person Who Is Responsible for Protection) provides that "when a person who is responsible for protection of the immature..., fails to give necessary protection to such person, the person shall be punished..." Moreover, when the victim suffered death or injury, abandonment causing death or injury (Article 219) is charged against the person. On the other hand, Article 199 (Homicide) provides that "a person who kills another shall be punished...", and, according to a prevailing view, is applied murder by omission. In the above-mentioned case, there are the precedents judged either as homicide or as abandonment against the acts causing death by neglecting the victims. Then, what is the standard to classify these 2 crimes? This study is to provide perspective view to the standard through a consideration of the related precedents.

越後平野周辺の旧石器時代および縄文時代の遺跡について,沖積低地の様相を中心に,当時の地形や環境を考慮しながら,立地とその変遷を検討した.越後平野周辺の丘陵を含む全域的な分布と,さらに海岸部を対象にした分布をまとめることによって,遺跡立地と変遷の状況を具体的に明らかにした.その結果,沖積低地への進出の画期は縄文時代前期に求められ,縄文時代後・晩期には分布域が沖積地側に移行する傾向をとらえることができた.また,沖積低地において,縄文時代前期以前の古い遺跡が空白に近い分布を示すことについて,それらの遺跡が越後平野に厚く堆積する沖積層中に埋没している可能性を指摘した.

In the United States and Europe, percutaneous edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve with the MitraClip device for patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation who are at prohibitive surgical risk has been well-established. Recent randomized controlled trials have also demonstrated significant clinical benefits with the use of the device in selected patients with functional mitral regurgitation. Thus far, >80,000 patients in more than 50 countries have undergone the MitraClip procedure. Despite the exponential growth worldwide, the rate of MitraClip adoption in Asia has been more gradual. In addition, very few publications describe the use of MitraClip in Asian populations. This review aims to describe the Asian experience with the MitraClip device and the challenges faced.

The damage to the young pine and ceder plantations by the hare reached about 70000 ha. in 1953 only. We are planning to control the hare, so the writer explaine here some effective traps which are used in the different parts of Japan. 1. The wire loop trap It is made of a wire, 0.75mm in diameter with its brightness taken away by burning slightly. It is a loop about 12cm in diameter, a little broader on the sides (Fig. 1). The trap is very effective, if set on the runway, hung in such a way as its lower end is 8cm high from the surface of earth or snow. 2. The hanging trap As shown in Fig. 2, two wires are fasten at the top of a standing tree 2-3cm in diameter, and bent on the runway, they are again fastened by a wire to a bifurcated twig stuck in the ground. The other wire is a loop trap, a wire, 0.7mm in diameter is used and the loop is 14cm in diameter. 3. The rat trap The trap is set on the runway, covered with paper, and over it with soil, and the bait is placed around the trap. 4. The tempting trap A bundle is to be made of slender trunks of 4 feet in length. Two or three parts of it are opened for the passage of the hare (Fig. 3), where a few loop traps shown in Fig. 1 are set, with the greens, foliases such as cabbage, or mistltoe in the middle of the stockade. 5. The crushing trap A board of 4 square feet is formed with sticks tired up. This board (A) is hung on a stick (C) by a vine (B) as shown in Fig. 4 and the other end of the stick is fastened to a stare (E) driven in the ground, by a vine (D) thin enough to be bitten off by the hare. The bait (cabbage, wheat, etc.) is put between the board and the vine, surrounded around with twigs (F) which are unable to be bitten off. Then, the hare must cut off the vine with his teeth, whenever he wishes to eat the bait. It is necessary to lay some stones on the board as heavy as possible. The wire loop trap (Fig. 1) is the most common method, but the crushing trap (Fig. 4) is the most effective and harmless to useful birds and mammals.

In the automobile industry, the Japanese supplier system has been evaluated as one of the crucial factors which support the growth of the industry in history. Regarding the previous research of automotive parts suppliers, “Drawings supplied” and “Drawings Approved” features are recognized as one of standard methods which are used to evaluate the technological capability of suppliers. However, accompanied with the technological progresses, the advanced development phase for both auto-makers and their suppliers is becoming to be considered more and more important, and this phase is implemented ahead of yielding “the drawings”. Moreover, the supplier engaged in the advanced development phase may not be properly assessed based on the previous research. Thus, it is worth discussing the relationship between auto-makers and their suppliers on which focus the advanced development phase. This thesis uses the case study of Denso Germany and Denso Japan which present the No.1 Japanese automotive supplier, to analyze the contribution of Japanese supplier in the advanced development phase by transaction governance theory framework. In addition, it suggests the two possibilities for Japanese suppliers with plans to expand their business in China.

Flood damages are brought frequently on the land of Japan by heavy rainfall in typhnon season (from middle August to late September) and the rainy season (from early June to middle July), and her communities suffer a large amount of loss by those damages. In 1958, from Sept. 26 to 27, a large scale typhoon (So called the Kanogawa Typhoon) attacked the eastern Japan (Fig, 1), and the followed heavy rainfall caused violent flood damages on several parts in these regions. The distribution of rainfall at that time was very complicateb (Fig. 2), and an extremely heavy rainfall were concentrated on the middle part of Izu Peninsula, Tokyo metropolitan area and another several regions. The characteristics of disasters, however, much differed in each regions, in accordance with their physio-and socio-characters. In Tokyo metropolitan area, the extensive alluvial plain develops to the east, and flood damages happened often there by overflowing from large rivers (the Arakawa, the Edogawa and Tamagawa etc.). But rainfall distribution brought by that typhoon was somewhat un usual and the rain did not concentrate on the upper part of these large river area but on the place near Tokyo Bay. So, by overflowing rlom small rivers, flood damages were more severe in and around the low upland and the hill to the west of city than on the extensive alluvial lowland along to these large rivers. The total amount of flooded houses reached to about 460 thousands at that time. Kanogawa is a small stream which runs in the nouthern part of Izu Paninsula. The disaster occured in the Kanogawa river basin was characterized by the violent inundation, covered almost whole lowland in this river basin, and the severe damage, caused by this inundation: for example, 1, 273 of people were killed and injured, the amount of flowed and destroyed houses exceeded the number of flooded houses and the amount of flowed and buried arable lands are much more than the quantity of flooded (Table 1). Chiefly from the physical points of view, we tried to make clear the causes which brought the disasters in this river basin. These causes may be briefly summarized as follows; 1) The extremely heavy rainfall concentrated on the upper part of this river basin, and theextremely volumenous runoff took place very rapidly, because of the full saturation of the land surface by foregoing much rainfall and the steep gradient of the river and its branches. 2) Moreover, bridges obstructed the flowing of runoff and temporarily reserved more volumenous water behind them. So, when these bridges were destroyed, the extremely volumenous runoff flowed suddenly downwards. 3) Consequently, the volume of maximum discharge far exceeded the estimated hiqh waten dis charge flood and the bank was broken at everywhere. The bank on undercut slopes of meander course were especially destroyed than others. 4) At the mountain region, many landslides and debris flows occurred, and the debris flows caused some damages on roads and horseradish (Wasabi) fields which are the important fields for the cash products in this region.

This paper examines southwesterly flows and their relationship with rainfall in Taiwan during the warm seasons: spring, Mei-yu, and summer. We found that the percentage of southwesterly flow events in the lower troposphere was the highest in the Mei-yu season, followed by summer. When southwesterly flows occurred, chance of rain greatly rose in Mei-yu and summer and mean rain intensity increased for all three seasons. In northern Taiwan, the percentage of southwesterly flow appearance was the highest in spring and decreased over warm seasons, while the trend reversed in southern Taiwan. Southwesterly flows formed in spring primarily due to a deepening mid-latitude trough over eastern China. Rain in Taiwan increased during southwesterly flow events when the Pacific subtropical high retreated eastward and the trough moved closer to Taiwan. In the Mei-yu season, there was greater moisture and the formation of southwesterly flows was more equally contributed to by the mid-latitude trough and the southwestward extending Pacific high than in spring. The southwesterly flow axis was located roughly over Taiwan. This flow axis shifted southeastward as the Pacific subtropical high weakened. At the same time, the high moisture zone covered the northern South China Sea and the entire island of Taiwan. As a result, moisture-laden air was transported to the Taiwan area by the strong southwesterly flow, providing favorable conditions for continuous rain in Taiwan. In summer, southwesterly flows formed when the Pacific high extended southwest and a low/tropical cyclone moved over southeastern China. Rain tended to be more intense when the low was stronger and closer to Taiwan.
