The goal of this study is threefold. First, this study explores the historical origin and architectural characteristics of cultural facilities in Japan. For this purpose, I examine various cultural facilities in Japan such as theaters, multi-purpose halls, convertible spaces and cultural centers. Second, this study also sheds a new light on the meaning of the relationships between cultural activity and architecture design in Japan. For this, I primarily look at the various categories of cultural buildings in Japan and their main functions. Finally, I demonstrate how both traditional and modem design elements are embodied in Japanese cultural facilities.

우리의 문화적 특성은 어떤 것인가 관심과 노력 그리고 연구는 오늘날까지 문화인류학, 사회학, 예술 등 다양한 분야에서 지속되고 있다. 디자인 분야에서도 마찬가지인데 특히 광고계에서 국적있는 광고, 한국적 과고라는 명제로 많은 크리에이터들이 그 실체를 찾으려 고민하고 있으며 각종 광고사보에 단편적인 글들이 게재되고 이다. 어떤 대상의 특질을 살피기 위해서는 시각(視角)의 중요성이 대두되는데 한 나라의 문화유형도 마찬가지임은 말할 것도 없다. 1994년부터 문화인류학적으로 연구된 유수한 저시로 오늘날까지 일본론의 고전이라할 루드베네딕드의 <국화와 칼>은 서양인의 눈에서 일본을 보고 서양과 비교하여 일본인을 서정적이며 자연을 사랑하는 우수한 민족으로 그리고 있다. 일본인이 쓴 일본에 대해<日本人\ulcorner表現心理>에서 \ulcorner\ulcorner\ulcorner는 "일본만큼 자연을 사랑하는 민족은 없다. 부자연 싫어한다. 자연관, 자주관은 담백, 표백, 무상"이라 쓰고 있다. 우리는 한국의 그림이나 도자기 등의 조형성을 이야기할 때 여백의 미라는 말을 종종한다. 그런데 차후 본 연구에서 다루어지겠으나 다나까이꼬의 그름에 대하여 가메꾸라유사구는 그것을 여백의 미라 하면서 일본적임을 강조하고 있다. 한국과 일본은 문화형성 배경에 있어 유사한 문화적 특질을 공유하고 있는 것은 사실이나 학문적 중립성에서 두 조형성을 비교해볼 때 일본인이 말하는 여백과 한국의 여백, 그리고 일본의 자연적인 것과 우리의 그것은 전연 상이한 것이다. 이렇게 일본과 지정학적으로 가까이 위치하고 있으며 고대사에서는 한 문화를 이루었고 근대사에서는 30여 년간 구체적인 문화를 경험한 한국인의 시각에서 바라본다는 것은 훨씬 근접한 이해에 도움을 줄 수 있을것이라 생각된다. 한국인의 시각에서 일본을 보면 베네딕드나 방하 수의 인식이 얼마나 편견인가 하는 것을 실감하게 된다. 본 연구는 일본의 문화속성 가운데 내재되어 있는 구체적인 조형성을 발굴함으로써 한구그이 조형성으로 필자가 유추하고 있는 '부드러움'이라는 개념을 상대적으로 명확히하고자 하는 데 그 의의가 있다.

본 논문의 목적은 근·현대의 일본 신종교운동들의 치료문화의 특징을 밝힘으로써 일본의 영성을 설명하는 것이다. 일본의 신종교운동들은 마음과 영혼에 상당한 비중을 주는 경향이 있기 때문에 그들은 '마음의 회복'이라고 불리는 일정한 의식을 갖는다. 달리 말하면 자아의 변화이다. 본인은 일본의 치료문화의 배경 안에서 그 의식을 분석하고자 한다. 왜냐하면 현대 일본의 신종교운동들은 일본의 전통적인 치료문화를 계승하여 발전시켰기 때문이다. 일본 영성의 특징은 자아와 훌륭한 삶 사이의 연계감이며, 일본의 치료문화의 특징은 바로 그 영성에 바탕을 둔 신념과 의식에의 관심을 통한 삶과의 교섭에 중점을 두며, 일본과 같이 풍부하고 포스트모던한 사회 안에서 삶의 활력을 느끼기에 불가능하고 일본의 보통의 삶 안에서의 죽음에 대한 경험의 부재라는, 그래서 그것이 없이는 생동감 있고 명랑하게 살 수 없는 그것의 현대적 한계성을 지적하면서 결론을 위해 이 주제를 세 가지 점에서 다룬다. 1. 일본 신종교운동들의 역사 2. 그 치료와 영성 3. 생기 있는 영성

The Korean cultural heritage protection act, enacted in 1962, is known to have been enacted in imitation of the Japanese cultural heritage protection act. The Japanese law differs from the current law dealing with intangible cultural heritage, folklore materials, and buried cultural properties. The Japanese law was enacted in consultation with the GHQ, and reflected the historical issues at the time of the enactment. Recently, in Japan, GHQ documents have been released and so research on the cultural heritage protection act is carried out. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the meaning and achievements of the Japanese cultural heritage protection act before comparing it with the Korean law. GHQ stipulated the emperor as a symbolic entity in the Japanese constitution and prescribed the country as a liberal democracy. Influenced by this, the cultural heritage protection act was enacted to identify the people's cultural heritage. Accordingly, the cultural heritage protection committee is a private and independent organization in Japan. The committee designates cultural heritage assets, and it operates as the national museum and the cultural heritage research institute. This system was a part of policy changes shifting cultural heritage management to the private sector. Since many cultural heritages are associated with the imperial family, museums were managed by the imperial family. Meanwhile, the Japanese house of councillors persuaded GHQ, which was negative about including intangible cultural heritage in the cultural heritage protection act. The purpose of this idea was to provide the system of the government support for Japanese imperial court music and dance. In addition, folk materials were included with the consent of the GHQ in that they represent the cultural heritages and the academic achievements of the people at the time in Japan. According to the Korean Law, the subject of designation of cultural heritage is the government, and the cultural heritage committee acts as an advisory body with its limited functions. In the early days, the committee confused the concept of intangible cultural heritage and folklore materials. This was because the concepts of cultural property was borrowed from Japanese law and applied to the Korean law without a full understanding. In response, the cultural heritage committee urged the ministry to investigate the current situation in Japan. The cultural heritage committee, mainly consisting of folklore scholars, was confused about the concepts of intangible cultural heritage and folklore materials, but the concept became clear when the enforcement regulations of the cultural heritage protection Act was enacted in 1964.

By exploring the works of popular culture, our research aims to demonstrate that culture and politics revolve around each other. Culture and politics are not separate but are articulated into cultural politics; the process of articulation reveals various comparable areas, including contradictions and differences. Our research pays specific attention to Japanese modernity in the eight popular manga series by Naoki Urasawa. These works seemingly value peace and brotherhood, placing themselves in opposition to the logics of the conservative right wing. After engaging in a thorough reading and re-reading, however, we found three salient themes in the deep layers of the works: first, no-nationality a-nationality; second, the relationship between Japan and the West, and representation of Asia; and third, nostalgia for Japan of the past, and transnational desire. The manga series contain the ideas of leaving Asia and entering the West and overcoming modernity. Our research findings reveal that the works of popular culture, specifically those by Naoki Urasawa, subtly expose transnational desires of Japan in tandem with the tensions in international politics between Asia and Japan.

In this research, Collectivism's influence on Japanese employee's volunteerism in IT Multinational Enterpise (MNE) was investigated with empathy mediating. Previous research on Hofstede's cultural dimensions were mostly conducted at national levels. However, in this study, Yoo's Cultural value Scale (CVSCALE) was used to analyze colletivistic tenedencies at individual levels and its influence on volunteerism. A total of 220 self-administering online surveys were distributed to IT MNE employees in Tokyo, Japan for three weeks period. 160 usable surveys were collected and analyzed with SPSS 21.0. Findings indicate collectivism positively influenced volunteerism in individuals with empathy as possible antecent of volunteerism. In conclusion and application, the significance of this research lies in indicating collectivism's positive influence on volunteerism and empathy as possible antecedents of volunteerism in Japanese employees even though Japan has displayed stronger individualism than the rest of East Asian neighbors.

일본의 게임문화에서는 서양 문화권과 달리 귀여움과 폭력성이라는 상반된 속성이 공존하며 성장하였다는 특징이 나타난다. 이는 일본의 전통적인 미의식과 연관되어 있다고 볼 수 있는데, 특히 게임 포켓몬스터 시리즈에서 이러한 경향이 두드러지는 것으로 보인다. 이 글에서는 포켓몬스터 시리즈와 페르소나 시리즈라는 두 게임 시리즈를 비교하여 귀여움이라는 속성이 게임에서 어떻게 기능하는 것인지 분석하도록 한다.

This article investigates the role of Japan in Korean consumption of Nordic design. In spite of the development of greater access to wide information and global markets, the popular trends in Korea have been mediated by Japan. The cultural power of Japan comes from otaku subculture. Japanese influence can be discussed by two sides. One is the images or symbols composing the Nordic style in Korea. The other is the way how to consume the Nordic design. Japanese neopop images combined with the Nordic design. Japanese 'slow movie' has combined American Kinfolk style with Nordic style. 'Database consumption' from otaku subcultre conceptualized by Azma Hiroki can be applied to Korean consumption of Nordic design.

As a case study, this paper historicizes the film culture in Namchon district in Keijo(京城) based on a preliminary research on the film ephemera produced during the colonial period. Through cross-examining articles appeared in Japanese newspapers and magazines at the time, this paper empirically reconstructs the Japanese settlers' film culture in Keijo, a colonial city whose cultural environment was ethnically divided into 'Bukchon' and 'Namchon.' During the silent era, movie theaters in the Namchon district not only played a role of cinema chain through which films imported and distributed by Japanese film companies were circulated and exhibited but also served as a cultural community for Japanese settlers who migrated to a colony. The film ephemera issued by each theater not only provided information about the movie program, but also connected these Japaneses settlers in colonial city, Keijo to the homogeneous space and time in Japan proper. Both as a minority and colonizer in a colony, these Japanese settlers experienced a sense of 'unity' that could 'distinguish' their ethnic identity differentiated from Koreans through watching movies in this ethnically segregated cultural environment. In doing so, they were also able to connect themselves to their homeland in Japan Proper, despite on a cultural level. This is a cultural practice that strengthens a kind of long distance nationalism. Examining Japanese film culture through film ephemera would not only contribute to the previous scholarship on modern theater culture and spectatorship established since the 2000s, but also be a meaningful attempt to find ways and directions for film history research through non-film materials.
