Aichi Prefecture: Encyclopedia II - Cormorant - Names

There is no consistent distinction between cormorants and shags. The names "cormorant" and "shag" were originally the common names of the two species of the family found in Great Britain, Phalacrocorax carbo (now referred to by ornithologists as the Great Cormorant) and P. aristotelis (the Common Shag). "Shag" refers to the bird's crest, which the British forms of the Great Cormorant lack. As other species were discovered by English-speaking sailors and explorers elsewhere in the world, some were called cormorants and some shag ...

Aichi Prefecture: Encyclopedia II - Otokichi - Macao and attempt to return to Japan

Once in Macao, Otokichi, Kyukichi and Iwakichi were welcomed by Karl Gutzlaff, a German missionary and Chinese translator for the British Government. Gutzlaff, who had views on evangelizing Japan, enthusiastically learned Japanese from the trio, and with their help managed to make a translation of the Gospel According to John into Japanese. The trio was joined in Macao by four more castaways from Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu, wh ...

Aichi Prefecture: Encyclopedia II - Otokichi - Otokichi's new life abroad

Unable to return to Japan, the castaways started a new life in Macao. They seem to have worked as translators for the British trade legation and British missionaries. Otokichi is next recorded to have been working for the British trading company Dent & Co. in Shanghai in 1843. He apparently also worked as a crewman on American ships, and worked at helping Japanese castaways to return to Japan onboard Chinese or D ...

Aichi Prefecture: Encyclopedia II - Otokichi - Travel to Europe

McLoughlin, envisioning an opportunity to use the castaways to open trade with Japan, sent the trio to London on the Eagle to try to convince the Crown of his plan. They reached London in 1835, probably the first Japanese ever to do so. The British Government ultimately denied interest in the enterprise, and the castaways were instead dispatched to Macao onboard the General Palmer, so that ...

Aichi Prefecture: Encyclopedia II - Otokichi - Rehabilitation

Otokichi is known to have returned to Japan twice, first as a translator on board HMS Mariner, which entered Uraga Port in 1849 to conduct a topographical survey. To avoid problems with Japanese authorities, he disguised himself as Chinese, and said that he had learnt Japanese from his father, allegedly a businessman who had worked in relation with Nagasaki. The second time, Otokichi went to Japan under his British name "Ottoson", in September 1854. He was a member of the British fleet under Admiral James Stirling. The fleet do ...

Aichi Prefecture: Encyclopedia II - World's Fair - International or specialized expositions

International expositions are usually united by a common theme—such as Transportation (Vancouver Expo '86) or 'Leisure in the Age of Technology' (Brisbane Expo '88). Such themes are narrower than the worldwide scope of Universal expositions. Specialized expositions have a narrow theme, such as the International Garden Expositions, held in Osaka, Japan ( 1990) and Kunming, China (1999). Specialized and international expositions are usually smaller in scale and cheaper to run for the host committee and participating nations bec ...

Aichi Prefecture: Encyclopedia II - Cormorant - Characteristics

Cormorants and shags are medium-to-large seabirds. The majority, including all Northern Hemisphere species, have mainly dark plumage, but some Southern Hemisphere species are black and white, and a few (e.g. the Spotted Shag of New Zealand) are quite colourful. Many species have areas of coloured skin on the face (the lores and the gular skin) which can be bright blue, orange, red or yellow, typically becoming more brightly coloured in the breeding season. The bill is long, thin, and sharply hooked. Their feet are four-toed and webbed, a distingui ...
