The Relationship between the Border Checkpoints in the Kai Region and the Regional Economy during the Sengoku Period
Currently, there are few studies about the checkpoints in the Kai region that focus on their relationship with the people and the local economy. Therefore, I investigated historical documents regarding the stance and the income by the checkpoints of the localize lords who managed the checkpoints. In addition, I investigated the quantity and type of goods passing through the border checkpoints by the transit passes. Based on these surveys, I revealed how much of the profits from the checkpoint tolls was returned to the local community and what impact the checkpoints had logistics.departmental bulletin pape

Association between color and major and minor keys of music in school-aged children
One of the content areas of study in elementary music education is tonality, and students must be able to distinguish between major and minor keys. However, this is a difficult task, raising the question of whether colors could be used as an aid for discrimination. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to clarify the direct nonverbal correspondence between color and tonality in schoolage children. Experiment 1 explored the relationship between music and tonality among upper elementary school students. When asked to choose a color while listening to music, the students selected green, blue, or yellow for the major key and purple for the minor key. However, when presented the single color corresponding to a specific tonality from Experiment 1, they could not differentiate between major and minor keys. This suggests the limitation in using only color to distinguish between major and minor keys.departmental bulletin pape
The Gender Consciousness of Akiko Yosano in Midaregami
Akiko Yosano’s first poetry collection, Midaregami (1901), challenges traditional values and conventions, offering a positive portrayal of women’s selfhood and bodies, making her expressions from a female perspective and her awareness of gender issues noteworthy. Through depictions of “breasts” and “hair,” Yosano seeks the liberation of women’s bodies and emotions, demonstrating a stance of resistance against existing social and cultural authorities. Her work redefines women's bodies not as sexual objects but as subjects, symbolizing beauty and freedom.Furthermore, Yosano emphasizes the female perspective, infusing her work with empathy for lower-class women and a strong desire to address social inequalities. Going beyond themes of love and self-indulgence, she portrays powerful female figures who affirm their agency and challenge feudal values. Yosano's work advocates for women’s independent awareness of their bodies.departmental bulletin pape
