In this admirable work an authentic account is given of that tract of the earth's surface to which in these columns we have sometimes ventured to give the name Sinesia—the Far East, that immense Asiatic region which nature has isolated from the rest of the world by deserts, mountains, and seas... Now, through Japan, the West has made a definite breach in Sinensian exclusiveness; even China is assuredly following....

Northern Territories

The Soviet leaders traditionally saw their occupation of the Northern Territories as legitimized, among other things, by the 1944 Yalta agreement between the USSR and three Western powers.

1993, Harry Gelman, “Summary”, in Russo-Japanese Relations and the Future of the U.S.-Japanese Alliance, RAND, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page vii:

The Soviet Union apparently took the U.S.— Japanese political-military alliance quite seriously—probably more seriously than we might imagine. The Soviet Union’s reluctance to return the Northern Territories to Japan, even at the expense of the bilateral relationship, is ascribable to the global confrontation between the USSR and the United States.

2000, Hiroshi Kimura, “Basic Determinants of Japanese-Soviet Relations”, in Japanese-Russian Relations under Brezhnev and Andropov, M.E. Sharpe, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 12:

It was the USSR that was first to drop the idea to gain Japanese recognition of its rights over the territories renounced by Japan at San Francisco, and to propose the transfer of Shikotan and Habomai, precisely in line with what was advocated by the Japanese representative at the time of the signing of the San Francisco treaty, i.e., recognition of Kunashiri and Etorofu as a part of the Kuriles renounced by Japan, but strong insistence on Habomai and Shikotan being part of Hokkaido, and therefore referred to at that time as the Northern Territories (hoppo ryodo) separate from North and South Chishima.

2000, Alexei V. Zagorksy, “Reconciliation in the Fifties: The Logic of Soviet Decision Making”, in Gilbert Rozman, editor, Japan and Russia: The Tortuous Path to Normalization, 1949-1999, New York: St. Martin's Press, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 59:

(1) The Northern Territories consists of four islands located off the northeast coast of the Nemuro Peninsula of Hokkaido. They are: Habomai, Shikotan, Kunashiri and Etorofu.

2001/2002, “Overview of the Issue of the Northern Territories”, in Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, archived from the original on 2002-06-10:

The islands, called the Northern Territories in Japan and the Southern Kuriles in Russia, were seized by Soviet forces at the end of World War Two, when 17,000 Japanese residents were forced to flee.

2017 September 7, “Russian and Japanese leaders 'decisively condemn' North Korean tests”, in Reuters, archived from the original on 2017-09-07, World News:

A group of islands administered by Russia, claimed by Japan.

Relatively recent dictionaries such as Sanseedoo gendai kokugo jiten (first published in 1988), Daijirin (1988), and Daijisen (1995) have included usage labels and supplemental notes from their first editions.[…]Daijirin’s notes concerning usage were also eliminated from its second edition, demonstrating that some revisions represent changes for the worse.

Yamatologist

Calque of Italian yamatologo (“Japanologist”) when used by Italian speakers, from Yamato + -logist otherwise.

clq

The most learned amongst the Yamatologists are still dependant upon Japanese for the information that furnishes the basis of all contributions; and why not have the authorities at the meetings, with interpreters for the benefit of those who have not acquired the necessary knowledge of Japanese?

1898 January 5, C[harles] Pfoundes, “The “Social Evil.”: To the Editor of the “Japan Mail.””, in The Japan Weekly Mail: A Review of Japanese Commerce, Politics, Literatire, and Art, volume XXIX, number 2, Yokohama: Printed and published for […] , by Arthur Bellamy Brown, […] , published 1898 January 8, →OCLC, page 41, column 3:

[Epigraph:] Giuseppe Morichini, the late Italian Yamatologist, was preparing for publication in our East and West a long review on the work by Nakamura Hajime «Indo Tetsugaku Shisô» […]

1960 March, Giuseppe Morichini, “Review of Early Vedānta Philosophy”, in East and West, volume 11, number 1, page 33:

The division which provides services for non-Japanese specializes in providing support in the form of scholarships to scholars and researchers who plan to study in Japan for more than one month but less than one year, and also in inviting both Yamatologists and non-experts alike to attend international meetings or inspect various Japanese institutions for two or three weeks.

1974 November, “The Activities of the Japan Foundation”, in Morita Tohru, editor, The East, volume 10, number 9, Tokyo: The East Publications, Inc., →OCLC, page 17:

For an appropriate translation of this term [baka], I refer to one of the leading Yamatologists in Italy, Professor Adriana Boscaro of the University of Venice at Ca’ Foscari.

How can we interpret this attention to the “harmony between order and form” that shaped the lesson review in Japan? We have tried to reconstruct the “umbrella cultural themes” with the help of a yamatologist, who introduced us to the issue of kata or shikata.
