This paper examines the history of Sri Lanka in order to outline the challenges and opportunities presented by the current development of Sri Lanka as a premium kitesurfing destination. Recent representations of Sri Lanka in various discourses are surveyed, providing a context for presenting the background of ethnic tensions that were not dissipated by civil war as an additional challenge to be surmounted by local tourist businesses. The limitations and internal contradictions of various alternatives to mass tourism are outlined before emphasizing the need to move beyond the development aid model of so-called social conscience tourism that privileges the contribution of the volunteering visitor. The paper concludes by making general comments about the potential economic and environmental impacts of marine sports tourism, primarily kitesurfing and windsurfing, on coastal

In the novel, this unified resolution accounts for the persistence across generations of more extreme forms of Japanese nationalist identification. It is significant that the link between Japanese colonial excesses on the continent and that generation of postwar pacifists is made possible by the indigenous presence of an Ainu character. The paper concludes by noting various categories destabilized by Murakami. The Appendix is a set of discussion questions for the novel, designed for foreign exchange students studying in Japan.

This chapter begins by considering how the culture of tea ceremony was accepted in Hakata before the arrival of Shimai Sōshitsu and Kamiya Sōtan. It first reviews the historical character and geographical conditions that formed the background for the emergence of these two merchants as noted men of tea (sukisha) with a deep understanding of tea culture. Then, it examines Hakata chanoyu culture by tracing their careers respectively, and also their associations with the Kamigata culture (around Kyoto and Osaka) in the Kinai region. Sōtan Nikki, the diary that Kamiya Sōtan compiled from 1586 onwards, provides an extensive historical record on chanoyu in Hakata, but the scarcity of earlier reliable material has meant that the situation before this date remains largely unclear. As a result, existing studies tend to focus on Sōshitsu and Sōtan without providing an overall view of how tea ceremony developed in medieval Hakata.

This chapter draws on the author's own experience of participating in the festival since 2007 to present a fictocritical diary of a Yamakasa runner's thoughts on his journey through the streets of Hakata, conflating past and present, individual and community. The chapter begins with a survey of Yamakasa as popular culture discourse. The aim is to highlight cultural practices that advance their status by invoking the authority of this regional icon. After all, not only has the Yamakasa industry achieved national recognition through the mass media, but municipal and prefectural governments continue to contribute funds to Yamakasa expeditions overseas. These competing registers of meaning provide a backdrop for the fictocritical practice section. It serves to help explore the category of Japanese men in groups, since 'the instability of categories is the business of fictocriticism'.

This provoking new study of the Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu) examines the ideological foundation of its place in history and the broader context of Japanese cultural values where it has emerged as a so called ‘quintessential’ component of the culture. It was in fact, Sen Soshitsu Xl, grandmaster of Urasenke, today the most globally prominent tea school, who argued in 1872 that tea should be viewed as the expression of the moral universe of the nation. A tea teacher himself, the author argues, however, that tea was many other things: it was privilege, politics, power and the lever for passion and commitment in the theatre of war. Through a methodological framework rooted in current approaches, he demonstrates how the iconic images as supposedly timeless examples of Japanese tradition have been the subject of manipulation as ideological tools and speaks to presentations of cultural identity in Japanese society today.

Japanese Harmony as Nationalism: Grand Master Tea for War and Peace
This paper is a slight reworking of a chapter from my _The Ideologies of Japanese Tea: Subjectivity, Transience and National Identity_, with the notable addition of photographs that were not included in that monograph. These photographs should be of interest to tea practitioners curious about daisu serving procedures performed by grand masters in the interwar years. There is also a photograph of the radio broadcast of the sacramental tea serving procedure from Daitokuji on the occasion of the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the death of Sen no Rikyu.
