ARTICLES
Mountains in the east, tombs in the west
HOJO Yoshitaka
HOJO Yoshitaka
Abstract: In this paper I explored
the significance of the location of large Kofun burial mounds in the
Nara basin and on the Osaka plain, examining their latitude and
longitude. The research revealed that the latitude of each burial
mound?s center, where its burial chamber is located, coincides with
specific peaks in the mountain range to the east of the Nara basin.
This implies that each mound was located to the exact west of a peak
by design. This planned layout may reflect the Yamato dynasty?s
belief that the eastern direction, in which the sun rises, was
sacred, and that their ancestors originated in the mountains in the
east.
Keywords: Mountains; Kofun burial
mounds of the Nara basin; Kofun burial mounds of the Osaka plain;
east-dominated ideology.

Regional spheres seen through earthenware saucers of the Sengoku Period in Minami Musashi: With a focus on the late fifteenth to sixteenth centuries
EIKOSHI Shingo
Abstract: In this contribution the
Minami Musashi region was divided into three districts, and analysis
of earthenware saucers of the late fifteenth to the sixteenth
centuries was conducted. Specifically, vessel shapes seen in each
district were ascertained. As a result, both shapes distributed
throughout the region and those limited to specific districts were
recognized. The latter are thought to indicate that small-scale
regional spheres of saucer distribution had emerged.
This consideration is made from the perspective that earthenware saucers were mainly used for drinking sake. Vessel shapes seen widely distributed are thought to have been used in the ceremonial sharing of sake at parties among the lords of local domains within Minami Musashi, or when these lords were confirming their relations as rulers over village-based samurai and the farming class, while the items uniquely seen in smaller spheres are inferred to have been used at the level of local society, in communal drinking parties within the village.
From these aspects of saucers, it is concluded that a dualistic political structure had emerged in Minami Musashi, with one element encompassing Minami Musashi as a whole and the other allowing multiple small regional spheres to be established within it.

Abstract: It is known that the
traditional deep-bowl style pottery changed into a new jar-shaped
pottery under the influence of Iwata-type deep bowls in the first
half of the Final Jomon period in the Kinki region. It has also been
pointed out that in the same period, the surface treatment method
changed from smoothing with aquatic snail shells to that with
bivalve shells, and that the change was followed by an increased use
of a surface scraping method. This article examines the relationship
between the shape and surface treatment methods of the pottery to
understand the transformation of the pottery making process in the
first half of the Final Jomon period Kinki region. The result
indicates that a change of pottery shape and size has a significant
effect on the timing and method of surface treatment. This can be
regarded as an important change in the pottery-making process.
Keywords: Final Jomon period;
Kinki region; deep bowls; pottery-making process; surface
treatment.
GIS-based analysis of historical landscapes of the Omani inland area: Approaching the identity of medieval and modern landscapes using cumulative viewshed maps
USAMI Tomoyuki
Abstract: This paper explores a
GIS-based approach to reconstructing and assessing medieval and
modern landscapes, taking sites dividing into three types and
located in the interior city of Nizwa, Oman, as a case study. The
viewshed for each site, which served as a lookout for the territory,
was first individually extracted with viewshed analysis, and
cumulative viewshed maps were then compiled to evaluate the
overlapping distributions of visibility. In addition, trend surface
analysis, one of the techniques for spatial interpolation, was
applied to the overlapped distributions in order to quantify their
patterns and provide a generalized understanding of specific
phenomena. As a result, it was seen that viewshed overlap tended to
concentrate strongly in several places, and the center of gravity
and its periphery in Nizwa, based on this concentrated visibility,
could be clearly shown in this analysis. While these particular
findings need future testing and concrete assessment, at present
they suggest, as background, the possibility of Nizwa developing a
unique identity in the manner of its establishment of place,
accompanying its emergence as a new social center.
Keywords: landscape; GIS; Oman;
cumulative viewshed map; trend surface
analysis.
The policy of preserving kofun (burial mounds) under the wartime regime
OTANI Masahiko
Abstract: Under the wartime
regime, many kofun (burial mounds) were destroyed due to the
construction of army airfields in the Ny?tabaru and Mutsunobaru tomb
groups in Miyazaki prefecture, and the Metabaru tomb group in Saga
prefecture. At that time the Imperial Household Ministry compromised
its policy of preserving tombs in their present condition, accepting
the destruction of kofun under the pretext of performing “reburial,”
moving the spirits to other locations. The designation of one mound
(Tsukimeka? no haka) as a tomb related to the imperial line was the
lone instance of the Ministry?s saving face and averting
destruction. The Ministry of Education followed suit in accepting
the destruction of kofun, as this enabled academic investigation and
the publication of excavation reports. After investigations and
reburials were conducted for these three cases, the Imperial
Household Ministry produced a memorandum legally clarifying the
priority of national defense in matters regarding kofun. This
incident shows how the policy of preserving kofun weakened at the
hand of national defense, the top priority at the time.
Keywords: wartime regime;
reburial; reduced-scale reconstruction of burial mounds; designation
of imperial tombs.
