Toponymy

edit

Thekanjifor Jōetsu combinesThượng"upward",Việt"to surpass" andThị"city", which can be misleading as the city is located in the southwestern part of Niigata Prefecture, closer to Toyama and Nagano Prefectures, as opposed to more northern areas in Niigata. Prior to theMeiji Restoration,Echigo Provincewas divided into three sections. One portion was calledKami Echigo(Thượng việt hậu),which was translated as "Upper Echigo", due its geographical proximity to the capital city of Kyoto. After the establishment of prefectures throughout Japan, the region name was shortened to"Jōetsu"(Thượng việt).When referring to Jōetsu, it could refer to the actual geographical Jōetsu region, which encompasses the cities of Jōetsu,MyōkōandItoigawa,or may simply refer to the city of Jōetsu.[12]

History

edit
Yellow:13 former municipalities merged into Joetsu in 2005.

The area of present-day Jōetsu has been inhabited for thousands of years, and the ruins of numerousJōmon periodandKofun periodsettlements, tombs and fortifications have been found.

Skiing in Japan

edit

The victory in theRusso-Japanese Warin 1905 brought about newfound interest in Japanesemilitary strategywhich prompted European powers to send troops to Japan to study new methods of combat. One of the soldiers, anAustro-Hungarianmajor namedTheodor von Lerch,made a profound difference to the Jōetsu locals as well as the nation itself by introducing the sport ofskiingto Japan. On January 12, 1911, Lerch began his ski training on Mt. Kanaya. The participants consisted of both soldiers and civilians. Lerch taught using the "Stemboggen" method, which involved a single bamboo pole that served a dual purpose as a steering tool and as a brake. With the translation help of theIJA 13th DivisioncommanderGaishi Nagaoka,the Takada Ski Club eventually amassed over 6,000 members in 1912. Soon after, skiing spread across the nation, especially in areas where snow dominated the landscape. It provided a new mode of transportation not only for the military, but for those who were rendered immobile by the seemingly impassible slopes of white. To commemorate his contribution, the Japan Ski Origins Museum was erected on Mt. Kanaya in time to coincide with the 80th anniversary of skiing's inception in Japan.[15]

World War II

edit

During World War II, the city of Naoetsu was the site of a POW camp that garnered international focus from the best-selling biography,Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and RedemptionbyLaura Hillenbrand[16]and later, the movie adaptation,"Unbroken"in 2014. The book and movie focus on former Olympic track starLouis Zamperiniand the brutal mistreatment of him and his fellow soldiers at the hands of the Imperial Japanese Army corporal,Mutsuhiro Watanabe,infamously known as "The Bird". According to the book, Watanabe fled Naoetsu after the Allied forces invaded Japan and was never charged, despite being one of GeneralDouglas MacArthur's top 40 most-wantedwar criminals.

The Naoetsu POW camp also housed over 300 Australian soldiers, 60 of which died from sickness and poor living conditions. In October 1995, fifty years following the end of the war, the Peace Memorial Park and Peace Statues were founded and built by Jōetsu to promote peace and friendship. The following year, the Japan-Australia Society of Jōetsu was established with the purpose of educating future generations and maintaining a lasting relationship with Australian citizens abroad and living throughout Joetsu.[17]
