fugu

Borrowed from Japanese 河豚(ふぐ) (fugu, “blowfish”).

Twenty minutes later, the chef has successfully prepared a whole fugu—or puffer fish—a Japanese delicacy whose capacity to maim and kill is dividing the country’s culinary world.

2016 August 5, Justin McCurry, “Last supper? Japan's diners divided over killer puffer fish”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:

A sluggish swimmer, fugu has stunted fins and often flat-lying spikes instead of scales, and when confronted by predators it compensates for its lack of speed by swallowing enough water to swell up until its spikes stand on end, so it looks like an angry armored balloon.

2020 December 4, Ligaya Mishan, “The Appealing and Potentially Lethal Delicacy That Is Fugu”, in The New York Times Style Magazine:

Blowfish: a delicacy popular in Japan served raw as sushi that may, if improperly prepared, contain deadly levels of neurotoxins.

/ɑːmɪˈɡuːɹuːmɪ/

Borrowed from Japanese 編み包み (amigurumi), a blend of 編む (amu, “to knit”) + 縫い包み (nuigurumi, “stuffed toy”).

blend

Noa has been mostly homeschooled, and is poised to graduate high school in this "severely" rural area. She has a self-described "yarn addiction" (does astounding lace work, Amigurumi, and other yarn art), and wants to learn how to work in glass, after graduation.

2014 October 28, Christopher Langley, “Artbound: Jael Hoffmann: High Desert Sculptor of Internal Landscapes”, in KCET, archived from the original on 2018-11-02:

In amigurumi knitting, gauge sense is a little bit different from what it is in most other types of knitting. Since amigurumi doesn't really need to fit anybody, you're not obligated to work at any particular gauge. However, most amigurumi figures are stuffed with fiberfill. If you don't want this fluffy white stuff poking out of your creation, it's very important that you knit at a gauge that is tight for the weight of yarn that you're using.

2015, Hansi Singh, “Techniques: Gauge/Yarn”, in Knitted Amigurumi Vegetables: Basic Techniques Plus 5 Veggies, Minneapolis, Minn.: Creative Publishing International, →ISBN, page 31:

She started crocheting six years ago "completely out of boredom," watching YouTube videos to pick up the technique. Almost immediately, she started making amigurumi figures, Japanese-inspired stuffed dolls and action figures.

(uncountable, knitting) The Japanese art of crocheting or knitting stuffed yarn toys, typically creatures having oversized heads.

اميجورومي

Pip Lincolne, owner of Meet Me At Mike's in Fitzroy, stocks cutesy, Japanese-style knitted or crochet toys, known as amigurumi. "When we started Mike's, we wanted to sell the things that we loved, which happened to be things with a childlike or nostalgic theme through them," she says. "We wanted to stock handmade items and discovered the Japanese craft movement a few months after.

And since most amigurumi tends to be on the small side, you will use these small diameter circular knitting techniques frequently.

Some days after April’s First Friday festivities, I noticed on the desk of a colleague an adorable crocheted fish doll, one Fred by name. […] Fred, like many of [Mary] Nguyen’s pieces, is an amigurumi – petite knitted/crocheted stuffed animals, popularized in Japan over the course of the 20th century before websites like Etsy, Pinterest and Ravelry exposed Western audiences to them in the mid-2000s.

From Japanese パンパン (panpan), an ellipsis of パンパンガール (panpangāru). Compare Ilocano pampam (“prostitute”), Tagalog pampam (“prostitute”), Bikol Central pampam (“prostitute”), Cebuano pampam (“prostitute”), Waray-Waray pampam (“prostitute”), Maranao pampan (“prostitute”).

In his recent overview of occupied Japan, John Dower poignantly describes the "pan-pan girls" who offended conservatives with their willingness to trade sexual favors for the Americans' gifts and money.

2003, David Richard Leheny, The Rules of Play: National Identity and the Shaping of Japanese Leisure, →ISBN:

Their fiction does, however, reflect specificiteis of post-Surrender society; the women work as maids and pan-pan, American GIs are ever-present, and shortages and disruptions are commonplace.

2004, Douglas Slaymaker, The Body in Postwar Japanese Fiction, →ISBN, page 41:

...popular perceptions of the pan-pan has given way in Ōe's series to an androcentric censure that sees the native intellectual youth as the chief victim of occupation.

2007, The Journal of Japanese Studies - Volume 33, Issue 2, page 400:

The sight of the heavily made-up pan pan smoking on street corners beneath railway overpasses at stations like Yurakucho, or even worse, the sight of these women hanging from the arm of their swaggering GI partners, constituted a painful affront to male national pride.

2009, Stephen Mansfield, Tokyo: A Cultural and Literary History, page 210:

The pan-pan girls who associated with African American GIs ("Kuro-pan" or "Black pan-pan girls") were considered lower status than those who associated with Euro-American GIs ("Shiro-pan", or "White pan-pan girls").

2010, Maria Höhn, Seungsook Moon, Over There: Living with the U.S. Military Empire from World War Two to the Present, →ISBN:

(historical) A Japanese prostitute who catered to American GIs in post-WWII occupied Japan.

obasan

Some day Japanese women may be seen parading the streets bearing banners on which are written “Votes for Women,”—at least what appears to be a movement in this direction was inaugurated last week, says the Far East, when a public meeting for women was held at the Kanda Y. M. C. A. under the auspices of a woman’s periodical, the Blue-Stocking.[…]Mere male creatures were allowed to be present, and curious University students who wanted to see what all the fuss was about were obliged to ask the obasans in their neighbourhood if they could seek their protection.

1913 March 6, The Japan Chronicle, old series, number 819; new series, number 583, Kobe, page 423:

Even if osteoporosis is not so common in elderly Japanese women as in Caucasians when measured in terms of bone density and fractures, I am still convinced that the many obasans one sees in Japan bent nearly double did not get that way merely from planting rice.

The boys resist the Japanese names by which the obasans of the camp address them as willfully as they renounce any identification with the fragmented body of the aged grandfather.

2001, David L. Eng, Racial Castration: Managing Masculinity in Asian America, Durham, N.C., London: Duke University Press, →ISBN, page 120:

“Yeah,” September replied, “old woman. Push and shove. Often Tokyo obasans cut in line for everything and when they get caught they act innocent. They have power and they know it, like old-lady Morimoto, the drycleaner in our building. Geez, whoever designs obasan clothing should be arrested. Those tan shoes you’re wearing are revolting. I dressed up in those clothes for a Halloween party a few years back. But I didn’t look half as real as you.”

2004, Janice Valerie Young, Sweet Daruma: A Japan Satire, New York, Lincoln, Shanghai: iUniverse, Inc., →ISBN, pages 61–62:

Elderly gents in berets walked past us, elegant with walking canes, escorting obasans, grandmothers in gleaming tabi socks and geta clogs, treading lightly upon the path with a fixedness approaching solemnity.

2006, Trevor Carolan, The Pillow Book of Dr Jazz: Travels Along Asia’s Dharma Trail, Ekstasis Editions, →ISBN, page 227:

You were nearly hypnotized by the enchanting aroma of the smoke, but managed to keep a steady pace, not wanting to be pegged as a tourist by two obasans, who, cheeks red from the cold, were chatting while cradling grandchildren in their arms.

2007, Chu T’ien-hsin, translated by Howard Goldblatt, The Old Capital: A Novel of Taipei, New York, N.Y.: Columbia University Press, →ISBN, pages 164–165:

Have you noticed what word the sales people at Shibuya 109, the Kiyoto “maiko” and night club hostesses use to refer to older women to avoid saying “obasan?”[…]Miu: Oh, wasn’t there some minister who got in trouble for calling women “reproductive machines?” Me: Exactly. That mentality. There are lots of women in their 30s and older who truly dread being called “obasan.” If it hasn’t happened already, then it could happen any second. Horrors! Miu: Moment of metamorphosis. Society decrees you useless for preservation of the species. Me: I like being obasan. I am proud of being obasan. Miu: OK, obasan. Me: Obasan is a title that you earn as a woman when you grow older and wiser and better.[…]Me: Women should be proud of being obasan. Miu: Of course. Me: Obasan Power! Miu: That’s a good way to put it. Me: But all you see in the Japanese media much of the time are obasans rushing to bargains, gossiping, taking flamenco lessons. Miu: What’s the solution? Me: I’m not sure. Data show Japanese women are choosing not to get married and not to have children, even if they do by some miracle get married.

2011, Yuri Kageyama, The New and Selected Yuri: Writing From Peeling Till Now, Ishmael Reed Publishing Company/Xlibris, →ISBN, pages 107–108:

Obasans. Every block in Tokyo has one such lady who sees that everyone on the block packages their garbage correctly.

2012, William Shurtleff, Akiko Aoyagi, compilers, History of Natto and Its Relatives (1405-2012): Extensively Annotated Bibliography and Sourcebook, Soyinfo Center, →ISBN, page 452:

“Obasan, not now.” CDI Jones was unduly rude. Although Matsumoto-sama was somewhere in her forties like me, I considered rude to address her as ‘obasan.’[…]“Flowers?” Zach asked. “For the obasans.” Wakabayashi said as if it was obvious.

2020, M. David Scoble, Zach Tragic in Forgotten Tokyo: A Near-Future Bad Luck Thriller, Moogi and Wil Books:

When I talk to the neighborhood obasans back home, I talk a lot more simply.

Ishikawa

en-proper noun

Ishikawa (countable and uncountable, plural Ishikawas)

Borrowed from Japanese 石川(いしかわ) (Ishikawa).

Ishikawa prefecture, a prefecture in Northern central region of Japan.


zaikai

Borrowed from Japanese 財界 (zaikai, “world of money”), from 財 (zai, “money; wealth”) + 界 (kai, “world”).

Behind the trading company and the bank are the financially interconnected companies known as zaikai, many of which descended from pre-war zaibatsu oligopolists. The modern zaikai has remained every bit as strong as its zaibatsu predecessors, achieving this result by linking companies (through interlocking directorships and equity by participation) whose operations comprehend most of the major areas of Japanese industrial activity.

1995, Lee Khoon Choy, Japan—Between Myth and Reality, Singapore, River Edge, N.J.: World Scientific, →ISBN, page 181:

In exchange for the continued support of the zaikai, which expresses the consensus of big business and acts as a large pipeline supplying the capital necessary for LDP activities, the LDP has made the utmost effort to reflect the designs of big business in its policy-making.

1996, “Dynamics of the Big Business Organisation: A Study from Japan”, in Raghubir Dayal, Peter Zachariah, Kireet Rajpal, editors, Organisation Theory and Behaviour (Encyclopaedia of Economics, Commerce & Management; 3), New Delhi: Mittal Publications, →ISBN, page 111:

Whereas elitist models include the big business circles, or zaikai, as one of the inseparable power elite, pluralists emphasize their relative independence of the political and administrative elite.

1999, Atsuko Abe, Japan and the European Union: Domestic Politics and Transnational Relations, London, New Brunswick, N.J.: Athlone Press, →ISBN, page 40:

The leaders of Keidanren [Japan Business Federation] traditionally have comprised the core of the zaikai, which literally means the "financial world" but is a term used more broadly to refer to financial and business community's power elite. In Japan's popular culture, in the fifties and sixties especially, the head of Keidanren, the "prime minister of the zaikai," and other zaikai leaders had the power to make or break prime ministers and to exert a commanding influence over economic policy.

1999, Gerald L. Curtis, The Logic of Japanese Politics: Leaders, Institutions, and the Limits of Change (Studies of the East Asian Institute), New York, N.Y.: Columbia University Press, →ISBN, page 52:

Collectively, the powerful and influential businesspeople and tycoons of Japan.
