Barazan (warazan) - straw Oquinava account (an island south of Japan)

Siblings,

In a powerpoint presentation brought to a recent symposium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on the theme of the quipus, Jean-Jacques Quisquater of the Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium, noted that the ancient use of knotted string instruments like quipus was the diffuse over a large part of the Pacific Ocean including by indigenous peoples of Polynesia and Oquinava.

In Oquinava, instruments, made of straw, have been called nancy (warazan in written English) and were in use by natives of the islands until recent times (until the beginning of the twentieth century).

A photo of a nancy, along with a synopsis (in English) of scientific discourse data in 2000 in Germany Kurayoshi Takara professor at the University of the Ryukyus in Japan are on the link below: http:/

A Google search for the address of "Kurayoshi Takara" yielded no results.

But I Discovering that Professor Gregory Smits, University of Penn State had recently translated an article by Dr. Takara. As Dr. Smits asked if he could help me in my search for directions to Dr. Takara or otherwise if Dr. Smits I can provide more information about the Oquinava nancy.

Dr. Smits also failed nencontrar an email address for Dr. Takara. But he sent me other information about childbirth from E-mail and gave me permission to put it here:

"[The Barazan] were made from plants, rice straw being the preferred material. The account was made by splicing of stems, using a variety of methods. On the island of Oquinava the nancy were mainly used for calculations, contracts and collect debts. In Miyako and Yaeyama, nancy were mainly used to record the collection of taxes and service issues related to work. They were also sued to record gifts received at the formal ceremonies. After tax "capitation" out abolito in these islands in 1903, the use of nancy soon stop. The spread of basic education was the other factor. Elites Ryukyuan math were aware and did not use the nancy. It has said these tools were a help to people without formal education. "

I asked Dr. Smits for a subpoena on the subject of nancy in the scientific literature, and Dr. Smits noted that almost everything published on this theme in literature has been written only in Japanese.

However, Dr. Smits offered such subpoenas Japanese, "the first is a short article and the second is a book that was reflected in the writings on the subject by Tashiro Yasusada (published in his honor by colleagues Tashiro) "Ishigaki

Hirotaka," Warazan " Jiten Okinawa daihyakka , V. 3 (Okinawa taimusu sha, 1983), P. 1004.

Yasusada Tashiro, Okinawa ketsujou kou [thoughts on the ropes knotted Oquinava] (Youtokusha, 1945, 1977).

thank Dr. Smits! Dennis
