Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Resources of Japan This summary of the natural resources of Japan gives an overall view of an island country. Somewhat smaller than the state of California, which has a homogeneous population pf about concentrated in a relatively few small lowlands. In this report are analysed. In a broad way. The two main categories of geographic factors: The natural environ ment on the one hand. And cultural occupance on the other. In consider ing the inter-relationships between these factors. The report depicts the adjustment of a dense population to an environment which is favored by a healthful climate and productive fishery and forest resources. But subject to limitations imposed by its small land area and restricted mineral and agricultural resources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Formosa: An Account of Japan's Island Colony His book, let me say at once, does not pretend to be a record of thrilling adventures or of hairbreadth escapes; nor does it pretend to be a standard work on Formosa. It is the work of a passer-by, who does not profess to have an intimate and exhaustive knowledge of the country such as can be attained only after many years' residence; it is an account of a journey through a beautiful and fascinating, but little-known, island to which foreigners are not usually encouraged to go, an introduction to its romantic history, to its rich natural resources, and to the unhappy story of the fortunes of the brown people who dwell upon its jungle hills. Thanks to the courtesy of the Government of Formosa I was privileged, during my visit to the island, to look through many windows which ordin arily would have been closed to the traveller, and by the light of my knowledge of other Eastern colonies I have tried to show how in thirty years the Japanese have succeeded, m'arvellously succeeded, in develop ing economically what was, when they first took possession of it, little more than a wilderness; and to show too how they have failed, for all their good intentions, in their attempt to settle and administer the native tribes, made intractable by centuries of tyranny and oppression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forestry of Japan The forests of Japan, her natural ornament, which occupy more than one half the area of the Island Empire, would appear to have exerted an inspiring influence upon the mind of her in habitants, for their love of forests and the luxuriant sylvan growth is observed to be almost intuitive. W e are also inclined to think that the Japanese may owe their patriotism and aesthetic sense to the profoundly sympathetic influence the forests seem to have exercised upon them. They are instinctively aware iof their duties, - so to speak - towards the forests as is indicated by the endeavors they never spare to meet the ever increasing demand for the produce of the forest, to change them in accord ance with the new requirements and to maintain their supplies permanently. The forests of Japan, had, while the country was secluded, maintained their primitive character, but with the Restoration the forests underwent a revolution in the extent and modes of their utilization. Besides a considerable increase at home in the demand for timber and fuel not only in connection with industrial and mining enterprises and for ordinary building purposes, but also for use as railroad sleepers and telegraph poles as well as for the manufacture of the various wood articles and paper, the recent development in the carrying trade has caused the traders in forest produce to seek customers abroad, especially in China and Korea. All this has in recent years exercised an unequal influence on Japanese forests so that, while, on the one hand, there are districts where reckless felling and all the evils resulting from it have obliged the Government to exercise control as to cutting, on the other hand there are in some parts of the country vast areas of wooded-land maintaining all its primitive features unaltered. This anomaly has brought to light the fact that the plans hitherto followed in the management of forests are no longer adequate to meet the future increase of the population and the requirements of the new civilization, but points to the necessity for striving to develop to the full the natural capabilities of the forests by increasing their productive powers by the appli cation of regular technical methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julia Adeney Thomas turns the concept of nature into a powerful analytical lens through which to view Japanese modernity, bringing the study of both Japanese history and political modernity to a new level of clarity. She shows that nature necessarily functions as a political concept and that changing ideas of nature's political authority were central during Japan's transformation from a semifeudal world to an industrializing colonial empire. In political documents from the nineteenth to the early twentieth century, nature was redefined, moving from the universal, spatial concept of the Tokugawa period, through temporal, social Darwinian ideas of inevitable progress and competitive struggle, to a celebration of Japan as a nation uniquely in harmony with nature. The so-called traditional "Japanese love of nature" masks modern state power. Thomas's theoretically sophisticated study rejects the supposition that modernity is the ideological antithesis of nature, overcoming the determinism of the physical environment through technology and liberating denatured subjects from the chains of biology and tradition. In making "nature" available as a critical term for political analysis, this book yields new insights into prewar Japan's failure to achieve liberal democracy, as well as an alternative means of understanding modernity and the position of non-Western nations within it.
