Nihon no Bijutsu — Translation of titles of each issue

Nihon no Bijutsu No. 487 Shukuin Busshi
Nihon no Bijutsu No. 487(Dec 2006) Shukuin Busshi

To improve access to the individual issues of Nihon no Bijutsu 日本の美術　(Arts of Japan) — a monthly journal published by Shibundo 至文堂 with many photographs of Japanese art objects — I started a list of the translated titles of each issue that was posted here in 2006. During Fall 2007 my graduate student assistant from the Department of Art History, Hyejeong Choi, took over the project.

As of January 2008 we are posting the new list on the Japanese studies Wiki —

(Information updated on Jan 25, 2008 –mhd)

Volumes are available in the Fine Arts Library — Call # N8 .N5.

    Meiji publications

    Meiji-era (1868-1912) publications are easier to access for research as a result of efforts underway at many institutions in Japan, as well as through a cataloging project at Ohio State.

    The National Diet Library’s entire collection of Meiji publications (102,000 titles in 169,000 volumes) is being digitized and made available through NDL’s Kindai Digital Library web site http://kindai.ndl.go.jp/ Already more than 89,000 titles (127,000 volumes) are available (as of April 4, 2006).

    Despite the size of NDL’s holdings of Meiji publications, the collection is not complete. Nonetheless other libraries in Japan also have projects to digitize and/or microfilm publications of the Meiji period. Although all of these rare books were quite inaccessible only a short time ago (since few are available outside of Japanese rare book collections), increasingly one has to think about Meiji-era publications as relatively easy to get from anywhere in the world!

    In contrast to the NDL project, which is limited to books available in their own collections, Yushodo undertook a project along the lines of the “short title catalog” projects of early English and other publications, aiming to collect and microfilm all Meiji-era publications and drawing on the holdings of several libraries. Known as JMSTC (Japan Meiji Short Title Catalog) or 明治期刊行物集成 (Meiji-ki kankobutsu shusei), this project has thus far covered only titles related to languages and literatures. Titles included in the 94 units comprising the JMSTC are from the following library collections:

    Waseda Univesity 8,672 titles
    Tenri University 1,605 titles
    University of California, Berkeley 2,139 titles
    Keio University 168 titles
    Kansai University 282 titles

    Ohio State University Library has been purchasing the JMSTC microfiche set since 1992. Access is available through author and title indexes in the accompanying guide, available in the microform area at Ohio State. Thanks to a grant from the North American Coordinating Council on Japanese Library Resources’ Multi-Volume Sets Project that is providing partial support for the purchase of Units 85-94, Ohio State has completed the acquisition of JMSTC in advance of the deadline of June 30, 2007.

    To improve access to and use of JMSTC, a project is underway in Ohio State’s Catalog Department to catalog all of the 12,866 titles in this microfiche set within four years. Sherab Chen (Assistant Professor and Non-Roman Cataloging Coordinator) is directing the project. Students working under his direction are doing the research necessary to establish authors’ names and solve bibliographic problems posed by conventions of Meiji-era publishing as part of the cataloging process. As titles are cataloged, records are input into OCLC’s Worldcat as well as in Ohio State’s catalog, OSCAR. Already more than 2,100 titles have been cataloged.

    In the meantime, while the cataloging project is underway, researchers can use the above-mentioned guide to the collection in order to make interlibrary loan requests. The OCLC Worldcat number for the collection is OCLC: 28304730

    Finding Japanese films in Ohio State’s collections

    In the past few years I have been purchasing many Japanese films for the library collections. Here are some hints on finding them:

    Search OSCAR — http://library.ohio-state.edu/search/X — for:

    1) Keyword searches –

    • Keyword=videorecording
      with a limit for Language = Japanese
      (This search finds 253 titles on August 17, 2005)
    • Keyword= dvd
      with a limit for Language=Japanese
      (This search finds 89 titles on August 17, 2005)
    • Keyword=vhs
      with a limit for Language=Japanese
      (This search finds 149 titles on August 17, 2005)

    Note: To find other kinds of media in the Japanese collections, the same technique can be used with keywords such as “sound recording” or “cd-rom.”

    2) Series searches —

    I have been purchasing films/TV shows in the following series (which can be searched as a TITLE) –

    Some series can be searched as KEYWORDs using “and videorecording” (when we also have books based on the series), for example:


    3) Other searches –

    Note: Films can also be searched by title, director’s name (author), actor’s names, film company name, etc. For example:

    Reprint series of articles dealing with Japanese language, linguistics and related topics

    One of the “treasures” of Ohio State’s collections supporting research on the Japanese language is Nihongogaku ronsetsu shiryo 日本語学論説資料 or NRS (until 1987 its title was: Kokugogaku ronsetsu shiryo　国語学論説資料資料）. Ohio State University Libraries holdings of NRS begin with Volume 9 (1972-) and continue to the present.

    The NRS series collects and reprints articles on the Japanese language published in the previous year in various academic journals and bulletins throughout Japan. Although most of the articles are in Japanese, in recent years a number of articles in other languages, notably English, have also been reprinted in NRS.

    Using NRS has been tedious in the past, but now a digitized cumulative index is available. Annually a new CD-ROM covering the entire series from volume 1 to the present is being issued. This makes it much easier to identify articles that have been reprinted within this series. We received the index for volumes 1-38 a few months ago and the one for v. 1-39 has just come in.

    The CD-ROM index is held in the Book Depository –
    PL501 .K63333 Computer file — and can be checked out for research.

    In addition the whole series is being made available in a digitized version. Beginning with Volume 39 (current volume), the Libraries will be receiving both the digitized version of the articles and the printed one. If the digitized version proves acceptable, the printed version may be cut in the future. Please send in comments on the acceptability of the CD-ROM version. (Not available yet as of June 28, 2005 but expected soon)
