JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe antibacterial activity of various herb extracts against Bacillus subtilis PCI 219 and Escherichia coli NIHJ was investigated by the paper disk method. Methanol or acetone extracts of curryplant, strawflower, costmary, and feverfew showed antibacterial activity against both these bacteria. In particular, the antibacterial activity of the methanol extract of curryplant was about 300 μg/g of sample against B subtilis. and 80 μg/g of sample against E. coli corresponding to streptomycin, and of costmary was about 240 μg/g of sample against E. coli corresponding to streptomycin. These herbs which belong to the Helichrysum genus and Chrysanthemum genus of Compositae seemed to contain strong antibacterial compounds. It is expected that the antibacterial activity of curryplant was not derived from its curry-like flavor compounds. Curryplant and strawflower also showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus K97-1, with curryplant showing the highest activity among these Compositae herbs.View full abstractDownload PDF (883K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe physical properties were investigated and a sensory evaluation made of imo-mochi with added potato starch (0-40%). Textural and tensile rupture measurements were made with a Rheoner, and the sensory evaluation was rated by the scoring method.
The hardness, cohesiveness and extension of imo-mochi increased with increasing potato starch added. Although the hardness increased, the cohesiveness and extension decreased with increasing storage time at 23-25°C.
The sensory evaluation clarified that imo-mochi with 30% potato starch was the most preferable, having high elasticity and extension.View full abstractDownload PDF (758K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe effect of grinding time on the texture and physical properties of sesame seeds was studied. Sesame seeds were roasted at 200°C for 10 min in an electric oven and automatically ground in an mortar equipped with a wooden pestle revolving 40 times per minute for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50 min.
The ground sesame seeds were defatted and separated with six sieves differing in opening (26-850 μm). As the grinding time was prolonged, the weight of finer fractions with a particle size less than 53 μm increased. The amount of oil exuded from the ground seeds was determined by absorbing on paper, reaching 12.3% in the first 5 min of grinding and increasing to 22.9% after continuous grinding for 50 min.
The roasted sesame seeds formed an oily, soft and smooth paste after grinding, and its stickiness increased as the grinding time was increased up to 30 min as judged by a sensory test. However, there was no difference in the total preference.
The changes in scores evaluated by the sensory test for the ground sesame seeds generally corresponded with the change in the amount of exuded oil for the oiliness, MMD measured with a friction tester for the graininess, and texturometer readings for the hardness and degree of adhesiveness.View full abstractDownload PDF (1366K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study is to clarify the historical changes in drawings of the upper trunk of women from the end of the Second World War to 1970. This period is often called the dressmaking boom. One hundred fifty-four basic patterns for women's upper trunks were extracted from 129 books, including sewing publications, textbooks, and nine different kinds of magazines, all of which were published between 1946 and 1975. Then the changing process of the patterns was analyzed. The results are as follows :
Many methods of basic pattern making were published in magazines and textbooks for high schools. Therefore, the use of basic patterns for dressmaking took root among ordinary people in this period.
In particular, the “Bunka style” and “Doreme style” basic patterns became well-known with the increasing number of sewing schools and monthly fashion magazines.
After 1966, drawings which covered the shoulder and breast swell three-dimensionally started to appear.
Based on this research this period can be called the “Period of Establishment of Basic Pattern Making of Women's Upper Trunks.”View full abstractDownload PDF (1772K) -
Focusing on “The Importance of Being Earnest”Kei SASAI2001 Volume 52 Issue 1 Pages 43-51

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAestheticism at the end of the nineteenth century can best be examined through the dandyism of Oscar Wilde's stage costumes.
In this essay, I will first study the costumes of his comedy “The Importance of Being Earnest” and the relation between the theatre and its stage costumes. Next, I will outline details of the costumes of the characters. Finally, I'll consider the symbolism of Oscar Wilde's costumes.
1) Relation between theatre and its stage costumes : In the late nineteenth century the stage costumes in London were influenced by the “couture” of Paris. But the dressmakers of London wanted to make their own stage costumes for the London theatre which would lead to increased sales of dresses of like design.
2) The costumes of the play's characters : The dandyism of the times was represented by two gentlemen wearing the most elegant lounge suits, tailcoats, and so on. Three women were beautifully costumed, and the leading magazines of the day published many photographs and illustrations of the costumes. Those fashionable dresses set off a trend.
3) The symbolism of Oscar Wilde's costumes : I think that Wilde created his characters to satirize Victorian morals, so his characters had to wear the most complete costumes of the upper class.View full abstractDownload PDF (2010K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe obtained annual reports published between 1976 to 1998 by consumer affairs centers in Japan (31 in all), and analyzed the cases, in which clothing was disposed of, which were caused in the process of dry cleaning.
The number of troubles on dry cleaning for a year were almost the same. At first the number of cases which recorded the details of the accidents was very small, but increased from 1988 onward. When we classified these accidents into 4 aspects : color change and fading, damage, form or appearance, and texture, the number of color change and fading was the highest. It was made clear that the causes of them is arranged in descending order of consumers' ways of wearing, accidents which were caused by cleaner and external factors such as ultraviolet rays when wearing.View full abstractDownload PDF (803K) -
The Case of Imai Town, Kashihara City, Nara PrefectureYui MAKINO, Noriko IMAI2001 Volume 52 Issue 1 Pages 61-70

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe aim of this report is to clarify the characteristics of the residents' network and dwelling intention in Imai. We investigated the relationships between the residents and their children, relatives, neighbors and friends. The results are given below :
1) It is important to supply residence provided the elderly want to live by themselves. The answers to the questionnaire show that the respondents tend not to depend on their children. In this connection, it should be pointed out that supports by public organizations are needed.
2) The residents seem to maintain good communications with their children in cases where the children live nearby. In cases where the children live long distance away, the residents tend to increase communications with their relatives living nearby.
3) The respondents are making good use of the personal network in their community apart from maintaining satisfactory communications with their next of kin. Consequently, it is expected that the elderly would get supports, both mental and physical, in the case of need.
4) The investigation served to clarify the residents' desire that they could use some unoccupied houses as their community halls such as group homes or collective houses for elderly.View full abstractDownload PDF (1495K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe contents and composition of free amino acids in potato tubers and their extraction by boiling water were examined. The free amino acid content of Danshakuimo was significantly higher than that of May Queen. As the day of harvest advanced, the free amino acid content of the tubers increased, and asparagine constituted half of this increased amount. Increased application of nitrogen fertilizer resulted in increasing free amino acid content of the tubers, with asparagine and glutamine constituting the major part of this increased amount. The percentage of free amino acids extracted by boiling water was about 60% of that in the tubers, the amount of extracted glutamic acid from Danshakuimo being higher than that from May Queen in proportion to the amounts present in the tubers. The water used for boiling potatoes in their normal cooking process is thought to contain an amount of glutamic acid exceeding the threshold value.View full abstractDownload PDF (446K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIndigo dyeing can be performed by producing indigo within fiber from indican and the enzyme in the fresh leaves of the indigo plant or by reducing indigo in a vat. This method, however, is applicable only when fresh leaves can be obtained, because indican in the leaves changes to indigo when they die. To find a good method to maintain indican in the leaves, its content was measured after various drying processes. Drying with a microwave oven was found to be effective in keeping indican in the leaves and the content of indican did not decrease for more than several months. On the other hand the enzyme in the leaves was found to exist in the naturally dried leaves for a long time. This enzyme hydrolyzes indican to indoxyl which turns into indigo by oxidation. These results indicate that dyeing with indican can be achieved in all seasons by using both microwave dried leaves and naturally dried leaves.View full abstractDownload PDF (619K) -
