• These papers are the result of a 1997-1999 group research project on the vicinity of Sanrizuka, Narita City. Our target area was the land that is now the Tokyo International Airport in Narita. The motivation for this project comes from the fact that this airport is situated near the Keiai University Sakura Campus. The aim of our research is to understand the historical circumstances of the settlements in this area dating from Meiji Era to the present day including the movement of settlers to and from this land due both to adverse conditions and to construction of the airport. We look at the problem of relocating people, the changes that took place over time, international comparisons, and the effect of these changes of the local culture. The surrounding areas of Sanrizuka changed from pasture land in the Edo period to goryo bokujyo, or designated pasture land for the Imperial Family after the Meiji Restoration. Following this, this land became a candidate site for the settlement of ex-samurai warrior families and finally for people in difficulties after World War II. The latter group included people suffering war damages, repatriates, Okinawans, as well as local people suffering from food shortages who were looking for land to cultivate and settle. This area developed into farming villages over a period of several decades. After repeated difficulties, people were finally able to settle, cultivate their land, secure foodstuffs and attain stability in their daily lives. It was at this point that the government decided to target their land for the construction of an international airport. The settlers had no choice but to move out in the end. With these points in mind, we visited public and private organizations for historical materials and artifacts and heard firsthand from several settlers, their children and relatives regarding their predecessors' settlement and lives in the beginning of the Meiji Era and after World War II. Three research papers on the subject have been produced previously. "Empirical Research on Social and Cultural Characteristics in the Surrounding Areas of Sanrizuka, Narita City, Chiba Prefecture" by Yoko MURAKAWA (Journal of Environmental Studies NO.6 and NO.7), and "Settlements in Narita City and its Outskerts : Army 'reconnaissance records'" by Fuhito KANDA (Journal of Environmental Studies NO.7). We have since produced two additional reports on the result of our research which was concluded in 1999. One of these is the report titled" "A History of the Boso Peninsula and the Opening up the Shimousa Plateau : A Comparative View with the Clearing of the Mekong Delta (Part One)" by Yoko TAKADA. The other is the "Reclamation of Sanrizuaka after the War by settlers from Kumejima, Okinawa" by Fuhito KANDA and Yoshiko TAKAZAWA. Ms.Y.MURAKAWA, currently in the United States, will be reporting on this theme during the next academic year.
