(10th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~Sightseeing Gaze~”

Kyoto Studies 3

The first hotel in Kyoto was Nakamuraya in Gion, which opened in the first year of the Meiji era (1868). Later, in Meiji 21 (1888), Kyoto Tokiwa, which followed the current Kyoto Hotel, opened in Kamogawa Nijo Ohashi Nishizume. Kyoto Tokiwa received the payment of the ruins of the government facility in Kawaramachi Nijo, and restarted in Meiji 23 (1890) as a newly built Western-style hotel as KIOTO HOTEL. The fact that Crown Prince Nicholas of Russia stayed at this hotel and encountered the Otsu incident was a major international event. In 1925, the first Rotary club in Kyoto was established at the Kyoto Hotel. We will focus on the history of hotels in Kyoto that have progressed with the times.

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Foundation, the University Consortium Kyoto has decided to expand the number of participants in the “Kyoto FD Executive School,” which is usually held for university executives, and to hold a grand lecture to commemorate the 20th anniversary.

In recent years, the role of university executives has become increasingly important in improving university education, and we hope that you will participate in this commemorative lecture as an opportunity to learn about the situation surrounding universities, not only for university executives but also for those who are not directly involved in university management.

Lecture Outline

Thesis	“Toward the development of human resources with the ability to open up the future ~The next 20 years when universities and high schools will take on challenges together~”
Lecturer	Takayuki Shioze (Former Assistant Director, Industrial Technology Policy Division, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Associate Professor in charge of Technology History, Kyoto University Museum)
Overview	In the era of human resource mobility, where it is no longer the norm to work for 40 years, the skills required of human resources have changed significantly. The mere ability to memorize and accurately reproduce the wisdom of our ancestors is no longer sufficient. In such a society, where the answer is not known in the first place, and where the relationship between value and worthlessness is unstable and can change quickly, it is important to have an attitude toward “unknowingness.” There is a need for human resources who can identify their own strengths and weaknesses in response to changes in value and continue to relearn. In order to continue to support Japan, which is transitioning from a period of high economic growth to a period of maturity, we must first recognize our position as one of a society of 7 billion people with diverse cultures and values, which is clearly different from the era when only a few countries in Japan, the United States, and Europe led the country. It is the responsibility of the university-high school partnership to accept the diversity of human resources, cultures, and values that are truly necessary, and to produce human resources who can face unexplored social issues and turn the power of diverse specialists into breakthroughs.
Instructor Biography	1998 Graduated from the Department of Precision Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University. He has served as an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Kobe University, an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University, and an associate professor at the Kyoto University Museum. Since July 2012, he has been working as an assistant manager in charge of technology strategy at the Industrial Technology Policy Division of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. In July 2014, he returned to work as an associate professor at the Museum of Medicine, Kyoto University. He has given numerous lectures on career education in elementary, junior high, and high schools, innovator development training in companies, and the transfer of skilled skills.

『BERLIN TROIKA』 /Andrej Gontcharov/German Film and Television Academy/Germany

“Yellow Balloon Toban no Sensei” / Yoko Sachi / Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School / Japan

Celery / Pedro Collantes / Netherlands Film Academy / Netherlands
	What if you have an eternal heartbreak? What if you’ve never had a broken heart? When you do something for the first time, sometimes the smallest trigger can be a big relief. For example, vegetables. (15min)
“See you tomorrow” /Toshihiro Mune/Musashino Art University/Japan
	The sun never sets. In the city, the procession of demonstrators continues to complain constantly. Natural disasters are also powerless in the face of people’s ability to adapt. Masahiro’s family, which had reached retirement age, had collapsed. In addition to the evaporation of his wife, Tomoko, he is insulated from his daughter Saori, and he is living a strained life with his only son, Toshihiro, who lives with him. In order to regain the form of “family”, Masahiro begins to move. At that time, will the sun set again?—A distorted family rebirth film that depicts through the struggle between truth, fiction, and desire. (49min)

“Okinawa / Yamato” / Kenta Higa / Wako University /Japan
	People born and raised in Okinawa refer to “Japan outside of Okinawa” as “inland, Yamato, and mainland” and the people who live there as “Naicha, Yamatunchu, and people from the mainland.” This documentary explores the mental line between “Okinawa” and “Yamato” that can be seen from such a single name. Born in Okinawa but living in the interior, Higa’s camera moves back and forth between “the individual and society,” “the parties and the non-parties,” and the “opposing ideologies” with “fiction and reality,” and the “line” is brought to light.

Results of the Northern Kyoto Prefecture Career Education Project “Maruttoku in Kumihama”

gist

High school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture have fewer opportunities to learn about universities and interact with current university students than high school students in urban areas because there are no universities located nearby.
In addition, there are few opportunities to experience local history and culture and talk at length with people who work in the local area, and many young people graduate from high school without having an image of working and living in their hometown as adults, move to urban areas after graduating from high school, and start their careers as members of society in other areas after graduating from university.

Therefore, the Kyoto High School-University Collaborative Research Council held a workshop “Maruttoku in Kumihama” by high school students, university students, and local residents in Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City, with the aim of developing the careers of high school students in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture and fostering human resources who will support the community.

Implementation Report

The university students entered Kumihama the day before to inspect the site and rehearsed carefully until late at night, and on the day of the event, the rain from the previous day had stopped and the weather was clear, and we were able to welcome the performance in a refreshing and sunny atmosphere.
The high school students gradually became more relaxed and relaxed as they walked around the city and did group work with university students and local residents. At first, some of the students were too shy to speak well, but at the end, they were willing to speak up about their dreams and career paths. During the dialogue time, I was very impressed by the friendly advice between university students and local people about the concerns of high school students.

　　　　

Through this workshop, the high school students had the opportunity to reflect on themselves and think deeply about their own way of life, as well as to reaffirm the good points of Kumihama, and the university students were able to gain new insights about themselves by reflecting on their careers and communicating them with others. We also received comments from local residents, such as, “Conveying the charm of the region to young people, listening to their thoughts on the region and their thoughts on the future, and gaining new awareness and discoveries about the local area,” making it a meaningful initiative for high school students, university students, and local residents.

In addition, this project was blessed with a good location, not to mention the wealthy merchant Inaba Honke, the building and garden were wonderful, and the view of the sea from Nyoiji Temple near Kumihama Bay was the best. I believe that one of the factors for our success was that we were able to work in a calm space such as a Japanese-style room, and that we were able to interact in nature, such as the blue sea, the wide sky, and the lush garden.

While referring to the results of this survey, we would like to implement such projects in other regions as well.
