    In Japans foreign aid, the cooperation and participation of enterprises and NGOs is an important feature. Through the historical evolution of different stages of foreign aid, various cooperation models between them have taken shape, including asset cooperation type, social contribution type, social responsibility type, and CSV type. Enterprises and NGOs play an important role in Japans foreign aid, and the potential changes in the cooperation model between them have a significant impact on the development of Japans foreign aid affairs in the future. Chinas foreign aid can learn from Japans experience, enhance corporate social responsibility awareness, and promote collaboration between social organizations and diverse entities, in order to promote high-quality development of Chinas foreign aid affairs.

    The Implementation Mode, Effect and Dilemma of Japans “Tourism Diplomacy” Strategy
    LIU Qingmei

    In 2002, the government led by Junichiro Koizumi first mentioned the importance of overseas tourists visiting Japan to the Japanese economy. In January 2007, with the revision of The Tourism Nation Promotion Basic Law, the Japanese government began to pay attention to the public diplomacy effect of overseas tourists visiting Japan. In the studies so far, the discussion around the policy of “building a nation through tourism” has formed a comprehensive trend, and a relatively clear consensus view has been reached, but few studies have paid attention to the combination of this strategy and public diplomacy theory. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the Japanese government has implemented the strategy of “tourism diplomacy” mainly by loosening visa restrictions for overseas tourists to Japan and integrating and improving domestic tourism resources. In terms of effect, intuitive economic data verify the success of Japans “tourism diplomacy” mode, and in terms of the public diplomacy effect of enhancing its international image, the Japanese government still needs to make more efforts to win over the swing groups. Contradictions in policy making, uneven distribution of tourism resources between regions, and an aging population with declining birthrate are the major difficulties for Japans “tourism diplomacy”.

    The Formation and Evolution of Chinese Language Education in Modern Japan ——Centered on the Chinese Department of Tokyo Foreign Language School
    XU Jingbo, XU Xiaochun
    Japanese Research    2024, 38 (1): 42-50.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2024.01.005

    On the basis and framework of Tou Tsuji(Chinese interpreter), the Chinese language education system in modern Japan was formed. The most important educational institution in the early stage was the Tokyo Foreign Language School, which was founded 1873. Historically, it is generally divided into two stages, or two periods, from June 1873(also said by some to be August)to 1886, generally known as the Old Tokyo Foreign Language School(referred to as “Old Foreign language”). It was revived again in 1899, on a more orderly scale, and lasted until after World War II(commonly referred to as the “New Foreign Language”). The Chinese Department in the school is the largest government-run Chinese language education institution in modern Japan. Compared with the foreign language education of the Western system such as English, French and German, which had the function of spreading civilization at the same time, Chinese language education was basically just a practical language education in the fields of diplomacy and trade. An investigation of the evolution of Tokyo Foreign Language School and the relevant government-run Chinese language education institutions can roughly grasp the historical context and basic characteristics of the evolution of Chinese language education in modern Japan.

    An Analysis of Yamakawa Kikues Thoughts on Womens Emancipation
    MENG Fei, CAI Mulin
    Japanese Research    2024, 38 (1): 69-80.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2024.01.008

    Yamakawa Kikue was one of the most important Japanese socialists in the 20th century. Her thoughts on the emancipation of proletarian women became the important reference for the Japanese feminist movement in the early 20th century. Yamakawa Kikue believed that the Japanese proletarian women were trapped in the predicament: the interference of the bourgeois feminist movement, the constraint of the feudal family system, and the old ideology of male superiority and female inferiority. In this regard, starting from Marxism, she pointed out that the root of womens problems lay in economic problems, and clarified the hypocrisy and oppression of the bourgeois feminist movement against proletarian women. She pointed out that the inner strength of realizing proletarian womens emancipation is the unity of all workers, the external support is the proletarian movement, and the practical return is the socialist mode of production. Once translated into Chinese, Yamakawa Kikues works on womens liberation exerted a certain influence on the early Chinese Marxists exploration of the road of Chinese womens liberation.

    The Modernity Interpretation of Chinese Civilization in Ikedas Works and Its Contemporary Value
    JI Yaguang, MENG Ruizhu
    Japanese Research    2024, 38 (1): 60-68.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2024.01.007

    Japanese thinker Daigo Ikeda studied China based on its historical and traditional culture, pointing out that China is the key to achieving world peace and development. He talked with intellectuals around the world, analyzed the difficulties in Western modern civilization, and studied the cultural heritage of Chinese civilization from the perspective of “people-orientation”. In order to break the limitations of exclusivity and homogenization in Western modern civilization, Ikeda interpreted the modernity of Chinese civilization, pointing out that the “universality” of Chinese civilizations pacifism and the unity of axiology and ontology have the possibility to surpass Western modern civilization. Therefore, Ikeda is full of expectations for China in the 21st century, and believes that Chinese civilization will play an important role in forming a new world civilization order that truly conforms to the interests of human beings. Ikeda's interpretation of the modernity of Chinese civilization provides a comparative dimension between Eastern and Western civilizations for understanding the five outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization: continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peace. It provides some inspiration and reference for the construction of modern Chinese civilization.

    Practice and Influence of Constructing the Concept of “Indigenous Peoples” in Japan
    LIN Shengai
    Japanese Research    2024, 38 (1): 51-59.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2024.01.006

    In the late 1990s, the construction and widespread dissemination of the concept of “indigenous peoples” in Japan marked a process where the rights of the indigenous Ainu people, such as human rights, freedom, culture, and tradition, gradually became incorporated into its domestic legal protection framework. In contrast to the concept of “aboriginal peoples”, which aims to showcase the independence and superiority of the Yamato ethnic group, the concept of “indigenous peoples” is recognized and respected as an independent ethnic cultural community in a country and society that acknowledges cultural diversity, presenting a progressive aspect. The fundamental purpose of Japans construction of the concept of “indigenous peoples” is to enhance national identity by reconstructing multicultural identities in the modern context where national identity is deeply influenced by the process of globalization.

    Japan implemented two large-scale privatization movements after World War II, primarily during the periods of Yasuhiro Nakasone and Junichiro Koizumi. By comparing the privatization movements during the Nakasone and Koizumi periods and analyzing the significant impacts of three factors: financial crises, political struggles, and external pressures, this paper attempts to identify a unique model of post-war privatization in Japan. Using the theoretical frameworks and methodologies of historical institutionalism and political entrepreneur, this paper attempts to find the profound historical institutional factors and the pivotal role exerted by political leaders in shaping the distinctive model of post-war privatization in Japan.

    The Formation of Nanto Tensou in the Authority Gap during the Nanbokucho Period
    MA Teng
    Japanese Research    2024, 38 (5): 10-21.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2024.05.002

    During the period of Nanbokucho, there were already particular tensous responsible for the affairs of Koufuku Temple, but at that time, the so-called “Nanto tensou” was only newly appointed tensous responsible for daily document affairs, which was updated and replaced with the promotion of official positions. This characteristic unchanged by the time Madenokouji Tsugufusa was promoted to tensou in 1376.When Tsugufusa was promoted to the position of gondainagon in 1383, it was customary for a newly appointed tensou to take over Koufuku Temple affairs,yet the long absence of a replacement suggested a significant shift in the characteristic of Nantotensou.During the Nanbokucho period,tensou was rarely directly involved in negotiations in gosous from temples and shrines.In fact,Tsugufusa did not actually intervene in Koufuku Temple affairs in 1379—1383,which was in line with previous practice.It was only the Koufuku Temple gosou in Kouryaku period that created the illusion in the Kennaiki that Tsugufusa was appointed as Nantotensou in Kouryaku period.Referring to the handling methods of the two gosou by Ouan and Kouryaku period, it can be seen that there was an authority gap between the Kuge, Bakufu, and Jisya after the reign of gokougon tennou, which cannot be simply understood as the shogunates absorption of Kuges power. Therefore, the year of 1383 was also an important watershed for the changes in the political landscape during the Muromachi era.

    A Multidimensional Examination of Japans Post-War Recovery Based on the Korean War
    WANG Xiaorong, CHENG Yu
    Japanese Research    2024, 38 (5): 1-9.   DOI: 10.14156/j.cnki.rbwtyj.2024.05.001

    On June 25, 1950, the outbreak of the Korean War brought a turning point to Japan, which was still immersed in the mood of defeat. The United States urgent participation in the war made it necessary to rely on Japans war resources and to re-evaluate Japans strategic value. Additionally, the signing of the “Treaty of Peace with Japan” and the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty relieved Japans worries about its future to promote the “Yoshida Line”. Furthermore, the rapid left turn and failure of the Japanese Communist Party during the war greatly weakened the left-wing forces in Japan, paving the way for the rapid development of capitalism. In the face of the first war crisis in East Asia after World War II, Japan took full advantage of the situation to quickly complete the transition to a normal country and embarked on the fast track of economic development. It can be said that Japan was the biggest winner in the entire Korean War. To trace the root of Japans rapid post-war recovery, it is necessary to make a multidimensional examination of the role Japan played in the Korean War and the opportunities it faced.
