JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe elementary school course of study in social studies was first published in Japan in May 1947, authored by Otai Shigematsu, Torashiro Ozaki, and others. The first elementary school social studies textbook, Tochi to Ningen (“Land and Humans”) was published in August of the same year. However, before that, a social studies reader for elementary school students, titled Shakai e no Tabi (“Journey to Society”) Volume 1, had been published in February 1947 with the subtitle Shakaika Dokuhon (“A Social Studies Reader”). Volume 2 was published in May, and Volume 3 in June. This text was, therefore, published under the designation of “social studies” before the publication of the corresponding elementary school course of study. It is an A5-sized document comprising three volumes, with a total of about 200 pages. Its authors are Horii, who was a geographer, and six teaching staff from the elementary school attached to Nara Normal School. The present research had the following two purposes: 1) To clarify the publication status and content of Shakai e no Tabi. 2) To consider the background and significance to the creation of that text. The results of the study are as follows: 1) The text is a social studies reader created with the intention of enabling children to independently study social studies through travel. The text contains subject matter selected mainly from contents regarding Nara Prefecture, which are organized in such a manner as to enable a well-balanced learning of geography, history, and all domains of civic studies. Furthermore, the book describes learning methods that emphasize the independence of children. As described in the text, learning methods for social studies can be considered consistent with the contents of the elementary school course of study. 2) Horii met with Shigematsu in the city of Nara in October 1946, and met with Ozaki at the Ministry of Education that November, thereby obtaining information on the elementary school course of study in social studies. I can surmise that Horii and others worked on writing the text based on the information obtained from these meetings. 3) The publication of this text seemingly played a significant role in the subsequent publication of supplementary readers for social studies.View full abstractDownload PDF (1201K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSLake Aoki is located in the northern part of Nagano Prefecture. The Kamishiro fault which is one of the major active faults constituting the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line is an east-dipping reverse fault. The Kamishiro fault runs through the bottom of the lake from north to south. The author studied the sublacustrine microtopography, lake sediments and standing trees in winter-time, when the water level lowered about 20m, owing to the use of lake water for power generation. Additionally small trenches were excavated to observe lake sediments. 24 radiocarbon ages were confirmed from the standing trees and humic layers. According to the previous research, the existence of the sublacustrine remains indicated that the level of the lakes was lower than at present. From this study of Lake Aoki, since ca. 24cal kBP the existing standing trees and buried soil indicate that the level of the lakes was lower than at present. At the east side of the lake, the dip-slip displacement of the Kamishiro fault subtracted from samples of depth, show that the newer the radiocarbon ages are indicated, the shallower the samples of depth become. Humic layers are inserted between sand layers and silt layers. This suggests that the lakelevel intermittently rose to present level. The depth of the humic layers and sand layers become shallow towards lacustrine terrace at outlet of the lake. This means a local uplift. The lake level rise probably resulted from altitude rise at the outlet of the lake. Fault activity may have caused a uplift at the outlet of the lake. The inflow of sediments at the outlet of the lake are considered as possibility of the lake-level rise, too.View full abstractDownload PDF (1567K) -
