(7th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~The Gaze of Tourism~”
With the development of the modern railway network, the postal system, and the media, ethnic events and performing arts in various regions have been “discovered” and “hometowns” have been created. In the Showa 50s, the Japanese National Railways (JNR) “Discovery Japan” once again made people aware of their “hometown” and “hometown”. Among them, Kyoto will become a major tourist attraction based on the image of “the hometown of Japan”. I would like to think together with Mr. Mr./Ms. about the relationship between the history of technology and the history of media in the historical background of tourism, and the relationship between Kyoto, Kyoto tourism, and folkloism.

(6th) 2014 Kyoto Studies Lecture “Traveling in Kyoto ~The Gaze of Tourism~”
It is often said that Kyoto became a tourist city after the middle of the Edo period. According to travel records, it seems that sightseeing in Kyoto at that time was centered on visiting shrines, temples, and famous sites, just as it is now. At the same time, Kyoto at that time saw a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment performances. The existence of these facilities and entertainment is thought to have been one of the pleasures of traveling for those who visited Kyoto. In this lecture, I would like to introduce these situations while showing specific materials.

Public lectures and lectures are held at universities and junior colleges that are members of the University Consortium Kyoto as a place where many people can easily come into contact with knowledge and culture in a wide range of fields. We look forward to your participation. This time, we would like to introduce the “Ritsumeikan University Saturday Course”.
Ritsumeikan Saturday Lecture
The Ritsumeikan Saturday Lecture was established with the aim of opening university lectures widely to the public and strengthening the ties between the university and the local community, based on the late President Emeritus Hiroshi Suekawa, who was the president of the university at the time, who advocated that “scholarship and science exist to protect the interests and human rights of the masses, and that it is the university that creates human beings through learning, and that it is important to walk with the masses, think with the masses, and learn with the masses.” On March 31, 1946, in the midst of the turbulent postwar period, Professor Hiroshi Suekawa held his first lecture entitled “On Labor Union Law,” and since then, it has continued for more than half a century, pursuing “open academia” in a practical manner.
In addition to introducing academic trends and research results in various fields, commentary on classics and famous books, the book also covers a wide variety of content that is appropriate for the purpose of opening up university scholarship to the public, such as elucidating actual current affairs down to the dimension of academic methods and theories, and setting themes that are ahead of the times.
