Portugal, Jesuits, and Japan: Spiritual Beliefs and Earthly Goods
The McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College presents a groundbreaking exhibition of rare nanban art: works influenced by the arrival of the nanban-jin or “southern barbarians”—European missionaries and merchants in Japan—during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Portugal, Jesuits, and Japan: Spiritual Beliefs and Earthly Goods will be on exclusive display from February 16 through June 2, 2013.
The exhibition examines cultural exchanges during this period, through the movement of goods on Portuguese ships that took over four years of travel roundtrip—from Portugal to Japan, with extended stopovers in India and China.
It explores transformations in Japan’s political, cultural, artistic, technological, and linguistic spheres during the nanban-jin presence—from the arrival of the Portuguese (c. 1543) and the introduction of Christianity by St. Francis Xavier (1549), until the expulsion of the Portuguese in 1639. Portugal, Jesuits, and Japan highlights a period of internationalism that gave way to Japanese insularity following the departure of the Portuguese. The viewer travels through the complex landscape of religious ideas, customs, and artistic styles that typified the nanban period as an age of exploration.
“Boston College, one of the premier Jesuit universities in the world, is pleased to collaborate with the government of Portugal and Portuguese institutions on this groundbreaking exhibition examining—through the display of magnificent nanban works of art—the cultural, spiritual, and artistic exchange among Portuguese, Jesuits, and Japanese in the ‘Age of Exploration,’” says McMullen Museum Director and Professor of Art History Nancy Netzer.
The exhibitioncomprises seventy works; central to the narrative are seven magnificent folding screens that illustrate Japanese encounters with visiting Portuguese traders and Jesuit missionaries. Examples of the objects depicted on the screens also will be on display: elaborately decorated Japanese furniture, lacquerware, and military equipment; Indian and Chinese ceramics, textiles, and furniture; and paintings by Jesuit-trained Japanese artists. In addition to rare European and Japanese maps, the artifacts and screens tell a fuller story than that documented in contemporary texts.

Japan Travel: Kobe City Museum large art collection, Hyogo045 Moopon
The Kobe City Museum was opened in 1982, combining the collections of the Kobe Archaeological Museum with Namban Art Museum into a single one. The museum's permanent exhibition features an interesting collection of maps from various regions and eras of Japan, and also artifacts representing Japan's exchange with foreign countries from earliest cultural imports from China and Korea to trading goods that entered Kobe after its port was opened to foreign trade in the 19th century.
The museum also has one of the world's largest collections of Namban Art (Southern Barbarian Art), a Japanese art style that developed out of the first contacts with Western trade ships (which came to Japan from the South) in the 1500s. The rotating exhibits include colorful paintings and folding screens which depict scenes of early Japanese contacts with foreign traders and missionaries or were affected by European art design.
The museum also holds temporary special exhibitions on a limited time basis.

was one of the (usually) hereditary military dictators of Japan from 1192 to 1867. In this period, the shōguns, or their shikken regents (1203--1333), were the de facto rulers of Japan though they were nominally appointed by the emperor. When Portuguese explorers first came into contact with the Japanese (see Nanban period), they described Japanese conditions in analogy, likening the emperor, with great symbolic authority but little political power, to the Pope, and the shōgun to secular European rulers, e.g. the King of Spain. In keeping with the analogy, they even used the term emperor in reference to the shōgun/regent, e.g. in the case of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, whom missionaries called Emperor Taicosama (from Taiko and the honorific sama).

SUMMARY
=======
The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN; Kyūjitai: 大日本帝國海軍 Shinjitai: 大日本帝国海軍 Dai-Nippon Teikoku Kaigun Navy of the Greater Japanese Empire, or 日本海軍 Nippon Kaigun, Japanese Navy) was the navy of the Empire of Japan from 1868 until 1945, when it was dissolved following Japan's defeat and surrender in World War II. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) was formed after the dissolution of the IJN.The Imperial Japanese Navy was the third largest navy in the world by 1920, behind the Royal Navy and the United States Navy (USN). It was supported by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service for aircraft and airstrike operation from the fleet. It was the primary opponent of the Western Allies in the Pacific War.
The origins of the Imperial Japanese Navy go back to early interactions with nations on the Asian continent, beginning in the early medieval period and reaching a peak of activity during the 16th and 17th centuries at a time of cultural exchange with European powers during the Age of Discovery. After two centuries of stagnation during the country's ensuing seclusion policy under the shōguns of the Edo period, Japan's navy was comparatively backward when the country was forced open to trade by American intervention in 1854. This eventually led to the Meiji Restoration. Accompanying the re-ascendance of the Emperor came a period of frantic modernization and industrialization. The navy's history of successes, sometimes against much more powerful enemies as in the Sino-Japanese war and the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force was founded as a replacement two years after the end of the occupation of Japan.
Economy of Japan
The economy of Japan is the third largest in the world by nominal GDP, the fourth largest by purchasing power parity and is the world's second largest developed economy. According to the International Monetary Fund, the country's per capita GDP (PPP) was at $35,855 or the 22nd highest in 2012. Japan is a member of Group of Eight. The Japanese economy is forecasted by the Quarterly Tankan survey of business sentiment conducted by the Bank of Japan.
Japan is the world's third largest automobile manufacturing country, has the largest electronics goods industry, and is often ranked among the world's most innovative countries leading several measures of global patent filings. Facing increasing competition from China and South Korea, manufacturing in Japan today now focuses primarily on high-tech and precision goods, such as optical instruments, Hybrid vehicles, and robotics. Beside the Kantō region, the Kansai region is one the leading industrial clusters and the manufacturing center for the Japanese economy.

Economic history of Japan
The economic history of Japan is most studied for the spectacular social and economic growth in the 1800s after the Meiji Restoration, when it became the first non-European power, and for the expansion after the Second World War, when Japan recovered from devastation to become the world's second largest economy behind the United States, and from 2013 behind China as well. Scholars have evaluated the nation's unique economic position during the Cold War, with exports going to both U.S. and Soviet aligned powers, and have taken keen interest in the situation of the post-Cold War period of the Japanese 'lost decades'.
