Abstract

The virtual linguistic landscape is a study that explore texts or visual information presented through digital media. This research investigates the representation and utilization of the Okinawan dialect within the virtual linguistic landscape of the Okinawan government website. Motivated by the increasing visibility and integration of the Okinawan dialect in digital spaces, this study seeks to examine the patterns of language use, the involved actors and the categorization of signs in this linguistic landscape. Data for the study were collected using observation and documentation techniques, primarily through screenshots of linguistic landscape signs displayed on the Okinawa government website. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach the study draws on the theoretical frameworks of Landry & Bourhis (1997) and Long (2010) to analyze written texts and images featuring the Okinawan dialect in the virtual linguistic landscape of government websites, including Okinawa Prefecture, Chatan Town, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and Okinawa Shurijo Castle Park. The findings reveal 101 linguistic landscape signs incorporating the Okinawan dialect, comprising 43 distinct dialect terms, some of which appear on multiple signs. The Okinawan dialect predominantly appears in monolingual Japanese and bilingual Japanese-English signs, with the highest presence in commercial signs such as store names, menus, and souvenir product labels. Official signs, including public notices and nameplates, were mainly created by governmental authorities (top-down), while non-official signs, like advertisements and shop signs were produced by private entities (bottom-up). This study contributes to the field of linguistic landscape research by emphasizing the transformative impact of virtual spaces on regional dialect representation.

Abstract

Kinokawa (The River Ki) is Ariyoshi Sawako's first work, which is about three generations of Japanese women living in different eras. Ariyoshi's efforts in writing this novel are evident through the plot which tells the stories of women who lived during this period. Ariyoshi describes in detail the aspects of humanity affected by the rapid changes of the times. Like the seemingly calm Ki River that hides swirling currents underneath, this novel reveals the story of women who strive to cope with the dynamic changes of the times. In analysis, this study uses a feminist literary criticism approach, focusing on the stories of three female characters, Hana, Fumio, and Hanako. In addition to showing the gap between generations and is influenced by epochal changes toward Japan's new age, this study also reveals the dominant representation of women's agency. Through this novel, Ariyoshi exposes the demands that others and Japanese women place on themselves and reveals their strength. With a strong yet calm voice, Ariyoshi develops vivid female characters that make their mark in a world dominated by men.

Abstract

Hikikomori is one of the social problems in Japan. A research on the hikikomori behavior of Tamotsu Tadokoro in Higurashi Kinoko's Manga Futsutsuka Mono no Ani Desu ga was conducted. The purpose of this research is to know and explain the forms of behavior, and factors that cause hikikomori behavior and to find out and explain the efforts made by the character Tamotsu Tadokoro in the Comic series "Futsutsuka Mono no Ani Desu ga" by Higurashi Kinoko to try to get out of hikikomori behavior. The research method used is descriptive qualitative by analyzing media data in the form of comic series based on Saito Tamaki's theory of Hikikomori Behavior, Michael J. Dziesinski's theory of Social Factors that cause hikikomori behavior, and David McClelland's Theory of Motivation. The results showed that Tamotsu Tadokoro experienced seven symptoms of hikikomori behavior and was caused by school environment, family, and individual factors. In addition, Tamotsu Tadokoro was able to successfully emerge from hikikomori behavior because he was motivated to improve his relationship with his family and pursue his goals. Therefore, it can be proven that Tamotsu Tadokoro can be labeled as a hikikomori.

Abstract

Genshin Impact is a game with a story and fighting theme, even so linguistic research with Genshin Impact as the source data is almost not found. When a character in Genshin Impact fights, the character utters an expression when launching a power that is divided into two with the names elemental skill and elemental burst. Researchers conducted this study to find out what types of imperative expressions are used by the characters in Genshin Impact and the relationship between these expressions and the portrayal of character characters. The approach used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of listening notes and documentation. The results show that the voice line characters in Genshin Impact use all types of Japanese imperative expressions, namely command expressions (meirei), prohibition expressions (kinshi), request expressions (irai) and invitation expressions (kanyuu). The relationship of imperative expressions to character portrayal shows that these expressions describe a lot of the story background and character identity.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the polysemic meanings of the Japanese verb miru. This study examines the lexical and grammatical variations of miru, focusing on its meanings as described in the Daijirin dictionary and contextualized through examples in the Japanese novel Totto-chan, which has been translated directly into Indonesian. Using a qualitative approach, this research applies descriptive and interpretative analysis to explore how miru operates across different contexts and nuances within the novel. The findings reveal that miru encompasses a wide range of meanings, from visual perception to deeper conceptual and introspective senses, which are sometimes untranslatable without losing meaning in the source language. This research highlights the complexities of Japanese polysemy and contributes to a deeper understanding of linguistic nuances in Japanese, emphasizing the importance of context in translation and interpretation.

Abstract

Yutori education is an educational system designed to reduce student pressure. This relaxed approach has led to the emergence of a new generation known as the "Yutori Generation," which includes individuals born between 1987 and 1996. This generation is depicted in the television drama series "Yutori Desu Ga Nani Ka," directed by Nobuo Mizuta. The objective of this research is to analyze the characteristics of the show's three main characters and to evaluate whether the stigma associated with them is accurate. The writer employed a qualitative research methodology. For data gathering, a library research method was used, and the analysis was conducted using a descriptive-analytical approach. The theoretical framework for this study includes the Yutori education theory by Paivi Poukka, the characteristics of the Yutori generation as explained by Hironobu Fujiwara, and Erving Goffman's theory of stigma. The data analysis results indicated that the community's stigmatization of the three characters in the play was not entirely accurate.Keywords: Japanese; Drama, Yutori; Stigma; Generation

Abstract

During the Meiji era, Japan undertook rapid modernization to compete with Western powers. One of the cultural strategies employed by the government was the promotion of the ryōsai kenbo ideology—“good wife, wise mother”—to shape ideal women as domestic supporters of national progress. This study explores the development of ryōsai kenbo as a state policy in women's education, from the Charter Oath of 1868 and the Iwakura Mission to the Imperial Rescript on Education (1890) and the Girls' High School Order (1899). Using a qualitative historical approach, the research analyzes how ryōsai kenbo reflected Japan’s effort to establish a functional and harmonious society, as explained through Talcott Parsons’ structural-functional theory. Findings show that although the ideology confined women to domestic roles, it simultaneously legitimized women’s access to education and redefined their societal significance. Rather than viewing ryōsai kenbo solely as a tool of subjugation, this article argues it was a strategic effort to construct a cohesive national identity through clearly defined gender roles. Thus, the ideology served both as a means of female domestication and a pillar of Japan’s modernization agenda.

Abstract

People who live in a place celebrate certain days in the life cycle. Javanese people celebrate birthdays or harvest days by serving tumpeng rice. Japanese people have osechi ryiro food during the New Year celebration. The purpose of this research is to compare Javanese tumpeng rice and Japanese osechi ryiro. Both of these dishes are served during the celebration of a particular day and have meanings contained in each food. The methodology used is qualitative with data collection techniques reviewing books, journals, and articles that are in accordance with the theme. The theory used is Julian Haynes Steward's cultural ecology theory.  The result is that cone-shaped tumpeng rice has a meaning as a symbol of the majesty of God the Almighty Creator while the side dishes served have the meaning of the natural contents of the universe and each side dish has a meaning such as salted fish (mutual cooperation), catfish (hard work), and kale vegetables (flexibility). While osechi ryori is served in a box called juuboku that is layered with the meaning of accumulating pleasure for the rest of the year and other dishes such as ebi (longevity), buri (success) and konbumaki (joy). In conclusion, the Javanese tumpeng rice and the Japanese osechi ryiro are served on a specific festive day with the intention of serving a variety of dishes with meaning.
