SympoSium
Historical Heritage for the Future
A great volume of historical heritages, including archives and historical structures, that are left throughout Japan are at risk of perishing in quan-tity by such momenta as rapid social change,
gen-eration shift, and large-scale disasters. With this reality in background, the symposium was held in Hagi Hall , Tohoku University on November 13th, 2010 to discuss the possibilities of innovative initia-tives to preserve and pass down historical heritages for the future. More than 120 participants attended the symposium.
With regard to Miyagi Prefecture, researchers from the Center reported on the following topics: (1) A project to preserve archives for a thousand years (Hirakawa Arata); (2) Paying off the past in history: A journey to return archives, Sendai edi-tion (Sato Daisuke); and (3) Records preservaedi-tion through collaboration of academia, government, and the public: The current activities of “Kuriden” (Kuri-hara Den’en Railways Co.,ltd) records preservation (Ebina Yuichi). With regard to the Tokyo metropol-itan area, there were reports given on (4) Develop-ment of a cultural heritage salvation network system
and related issues in Chiba Prefecture (Shin Kazuhiro; Chuo Museum of Chiba Prefecture); and (5) Practice and issues of preservation activi-ties of locally inherited records: From Izu (Shizuoka Pref.) and Koshu (Yamanashi Pref.) (Nishimura Shintaro; Reference Library in Japanese Literature Research).
Kan’no Masamichi (City of Sendai Division of History Compilation) and Kurushima Hiroshi (National Museum of His-tory and Folklore) presented discussion topics as commentators, which was followed by active discus-sions that included participants under the facilitation by Okumura Hiroshi from Kobe University. Dis-cussed topics included activities and organizations for historical materials preservation corresponding to different social conditions, roles to be played by researchers, governments, and the public in histor-ical materials preservation, and how to reduce the number of areas where historical materials preserva-tion networks are not yet formed. Towards the end, a comment of agreement was made by an owner of documents that had been subjected to preservation on the “Miyagi method”, which implements preser-vation, utilization, and returning of historical mate-rials in a unified manner.
Public lecture
the World of Mongolia: the past and the present
The Open Lecture was held on December 11, 2010 in the Post-War Reconstruction Memorial Hall in Sendai to examine Mongolia from both historical and current perspectives. Under the facilitation of Professor Kuribayashi Hitoshi from the Center, Professor Oka Hiroki and Asso-ciate Professor Burensain Borjigin from the School of Human Cultures at the University of Shiga Prefecture gave lectures.
The people who are currently called Mongolians reside throughout the Mongolian People’s Republic as well as the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Xinjiang-Uygur Autonomous Region, and a number of prov-inces including Qinghai in China. In Russian Federation are Mongolian people of the Buryats and the Kalmyk. Furthermore, there are also the Tuvans in the Tuvan People’s Republic in Russian Federation who are in close cultural relationship with Mongolia. Professor Oka’s lecture enti-tled “Mongolians in Northeast Asian History” discussed the course of Mongolian’s division into the Inner and Outer Mongolia in the history of Mongolians from the Qing dynasty to the modern period as well as its relationship with Japan. Russia and Japan were deeply involved in this part of the history, and they still have strong influence on Mongolian mind.
Associate Professor Burensain’s lecture, “Looking at Mongolia with a Modern Perspective: The Relationship Between Japan and Mongolia in the Past and the Present,” addressed the difficulty in concisely describing those whom “Mongolians” refers to due to the diversity that has evolved among Mongolians, including agriculturalization of nomadic people in the east in the modern inner Mongolia. He also discussed how the image of nomads as a utopia that was held by Japanese was impeding accurate intercultural understanding, and reported the current state of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China.
Mongolia is one of the countries that draw relatively greater interest in Japan. Nonetheless, the nomadic culture and Mongolians’ thoughts about agriculturalization are not necessarily understood. On the other, it is also a fact that Japan has not held a superficial relationship with Mon-golia in its modern history. Evaluation of right or wrong, of good or bad set aside, isn’t it our benefit to recall such a history to a greater extent? Professor Burensain proposed that therefore, we should rethink in what ways we want to interact with these neighbors in Northeast Asia.

Terayama Kyosuke
Associate Professor
Soviet-Russian history, Japanese-Russo,/Soviet relations
I study and investigate Soviet bor-der areas (Mongolia, the Far East, and Poland) in the interwar period (1918–1939), especially the Soviet Union’s censorship policy as well as railroad transportation and mobi-lization of national resources in the Stalin era. I also have begun research on disparate views of history between contemporary Russia and its neigh-boring countries.
Takakura Hiroki
Associate Professor Social anthropology, Siberian ethnography
My current interests are on the impact of global warming on Siberian people. The focus of my research is the perception of snow and ice and its utilization by the Sakha people of Siberia. I am examining the cul-tural traditions of the human-ice rela-tionship and considering whether these could be adapted to solving the problem of climate change. I am also investigating the role of visual eth-nography in the public eye, by
orga-nizing exhibitions about Siberian ethnography, both in local commu-nities in Siberia as well as in Japan.
Shiotani Masachika
Assistant Professor
Russian economic history, modern Russian economy
During the 19th century, Russia imported steam engine technology and applied it to her industries and the transport system, including steam locomotives and steamships. I am investigating how steam engine tech-nology transformed trade between Russia and Asia. I am also interested in contemporary business practices in Russia.
Tokuda Yukako
Research Associate Area studies of Siberia
The scientific and human potential of Siberia is not as highly appre-ciated in Japan as in other coun-tries. In consideration of this fact, the actual state of Siberia is under investigation to attain a clearer image of the region, focusing on the Sibe-rian Branch of the Russian Acad-emy of Sciences.

Kuribayashi Hitoshi
Professor
Philological studies of Mongolian, comparative studies of Mongolian In the eighteenth century, during the Qing dynasty, massive polyglot Man-chu dictionaries were compiled one after the other. My research inves-tigates the characteristics of Mon-golian words and phrases included in such dictionaries as Wuti Qin-gwenjian [Pentaglot Mirror of Qing Languages].
Oka Hiroki
Professor
Mongolian history, Asian history My research explores social and administrative structures estab-lished in Mongolia during the Qing dynasty (seventeenth to early twen-tieth centuries). The recent focus of my work is on re-examining the his-toriography of Mongolian scholars in and after socialist era and also on the Mongolian policy of Qing dynasty in the seventeenth century.
Yanagida Kenji
Associate Professor
Russian linguistics, sociolinguistics
New language varieties may appear due to multilingual use and language contact. I am engaged in simultane-ous observations of both the decreas-ing status of Russian language in the multilingual society of Central Asia and the changes taking place in the Russian language in this region.
Division of Chinese Studies
Isobe Akira
Professor
East Asian publishing culture, Chinese literature
The aim of my research is to por-tray the realities of Qing-dynasty court theater and its influence on Chinese and other cultures in Asia. I also seek to show how Chinese court theater was incorporated into local theater in the course of its for-mative process.
Segawa Masahisa
Professor
Cultural anthropology, South China study
My recent research topics are: (1) the process through which Chinese lineages (zongzu) have been restored and how they have changed with the advent of the twenty-first cen-tury; (2) changes in the academic, as well as popular discourse
concern-From Director
Although “Area Studies” may phonetically convey softness, as a traditional academic discipline, it sometimes gives off a hint of poli-tics and state. I consider the projects at Center for Northeast Asian Studies to be our continued attempts to define how area studies should be in the region of North and East Asia.
Why do people continue a life of herding livestock in places like “taiga” and “alas” where the land turns to a marsh in the summer and is covered by deep snow and ice in the winter and the Gobi where people receive no rainfall in the summer and endure the snow-fall that buries the grass in the winter? On the other, there are tsunamis that eradicate fishing villages that had relied on the blessings of the ocean in a matter of a second and landslide disasters that wash away mountain villages that had benefited from the abundance of the forests: furthermore, typhoons and earthquakes that can cause them. The beautiful nature that penetrates the region of North-east Asia smiles at habitants and travelers in the region one moment and bares its unexpected fangs the next.
What for must humans face such a relentless nature? What sorts of wisdom have humans exercised to survive? For that matter, why do they have to live in these regions? Northeast Asia can be characterized with the breadth of the relationships between the nat-ural environment and human society, as well as their conflicting feature, in comparison with other regions in the world.
The researchers at Center for Northeast Asian Studies continue their endeavors to discover the answers to these questions, as they visit cities, villages, steppes, and forests and interact with their residents, in hopes that life in Northeast Asia will become easier for us.

Asuka Jusen
Professor
Environmental and energy policy, international cooperation
The design of institutional arrange-ments in Japan and other countries to tackle climate change is the focus of my research. I would like to con-duct research that will contribute directly to specific policy propos-als or policy formulation based on quantitative discussion.
Ueno Toshihiro
Associate Professor
Modern Chinese history, Chinese ethnology
My research mainly focuses on the Chinese frontier area inhabited by various non-Han ethnic groups, and on the historical process of the area’s integration and reorganization in the early and mid-twentieth century into mainland China (the Han-Chi-nese area) toward a multiethnic state. By studying related documents that are increasingly being made avail-able, I aim to clarify the historical background of ethnic problems in modern China.
Division of Japanese and
Korean Studies
Hirakawa Arata
Professor
History of early modern Japan Pursuing a bold revision of conven-tional images of early modern Japan, my research findings support the assertion, for example, that national seclusion(sakoku)was a viable for-eign policy for Japan because it was in fact a major world power, and that Edo-period governance was not monopolized by the warrior class but incorporated political systems responsive to public opinion.
Ishii Atsushi
Associate Professor
International relations, science and technology studies
My current research focuses on sci-ence and technology studies in inter-national politics, whaling diplomacy, and policy interlinkage among dif-ferent environmental problems. I plan to investigate theoretical aspects and practice of environmental coop-eration with North Korea and to develop a comprehensive theory for explaining the failures of fish-ing resources management.

Ecosystem Studies
Shikano Shuichi
Associate Professor
Microbial ecology, system ecology Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the composition and changes of microorganism communities in lakes, wetlands, and other aquatic ecosystems is the main subject of my research. I also analyze the structure
of the food web supporting higher consumers in the lakes and wetlands of western Siberia.
Division of Geochemistry
Ishiwatari Akira
Professor Geology, petrology
My research on geochemical cycles and the dynamics of solid Earth (earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tec-tonics, etc.) focuses on rock obtained from drilling into the ocean floor as well as on ophiolites, which are remnants of the ancient oceanic crust uplifted to land by orogenic processes.
Goto Akio
Assistant Professor Physical volcanology, physical properties of magma
The style of volcanic eruption differs greatly from one volcano to another, and their controlling factors are not clearly known. To clarify these fac-tors, I measure the physical proper-ties of magma, conduct experimental simulations of volcanic eruptions, and observe actual eruptions.
Miyamoto Tsuyoshi
Assistant Professor
Geology of volcanoes, petrology of volcanic rocks
The history of volcanic eruptions of Mt.Paektu on the China-North Korea border has been the subject of my research for several years. My particular interest is in the relation-ship between volcanic eruptions and
historical events.
Hirano Naoto
Assistant Professor
Petrology and volcanology, tectonics Throughout the Far Eastern region and on the sea floor of the Pacific Ocean “petit-spot” volcanoes— unknown volcanoes until recently— can be found. Little is known about how they were formed. My research focuses on the relationship between the origin of these volcanoes and plate tectonic movements.

Planning
Okumura Makoto
Professor
Intercity transport planning, urban planning
My research focuses on the expan-sion of risk resulting from cancella-tions and delays of intercity public transportation services, and people’s reactions to the increased risk. I seek to clarify the relationship between intercity transportation-networks and the hierarchies among cities. I am also interested in the traffic systems that have developed using frozen rivers in the Arctic.
Okubo Kazuaki

Professor
Environmental informatics, digital image recognition
The research theme of the Kudoh Laboratory is solutions for the environmental problems of the Far East Russia and Siberia using data obtained by satellite. As forest fires are closely related to the car-bon dioxide emissions that are said to be the cause of global warming, we have been engaged in research internationally, cooperating with the Russian Academy of Sciences to construct an early detection and extinguishing system for forest fires.

Sato Motoyuki
Professor
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR),microwave remote sensing I have developed an advanced land-mine identification system (ALIS) for use in humanitarian demining by applying electromagnetic waves for making measurements. Tests of ALIS in the minefields of Cambodia have shown that the system can detect landmines more efficiently than con-ventional metal detectors. I am also
developing microwave, remote-sens-ing methodologies, usremote-sens-ing space borne, airborne and ground based Polari-metric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol-SAR) for conducting environ-mental observations, as well as for detection, mitigation and preven-tion of natural disasters.
Yokota Yuya
Assistant professor
Remote sensing, non-destructive measurement
I am especially working on GPR(Ground Penetrating Radar), which utilizes waves reflected from underground. This system is effec-tive in non-destruceffec-tive measurement such as the detection of the cracks.
