Interpreting "Nihon" An Exploration of Place By: Emma Oakes, Amy S. and Rachel S.

Interpreting “Nihon” (how “Japan” is pronounced in Japanese) is about exploring city interiors, as well as their relationships to major geographic features within the city’s immediate context. We have widdled our study option places down to Kyoto and Tokyo. We believe they are the most interesting places for our study abroad experience for the Fall of 2015. Our operations for this assignment were simply mapping through Google Earth, reading online blogs and articles, and photo-gathering from various online sources. All of the collected data was processed, traced, molded and played with in order to help us better understand the specific locations we have chosen for the study abroad program. Our analysis is an exploration of scale given the physicality of the city. Using both Tokyo and Kyoto, in contrast with New York City and Syracuse, New York, we could deduct similarities and differences among them, which helps us define the landscape typologies, features of the cities, and potential study topics embedded within these contexts.
