from Studio Ghibli. As a young boy, the bespectacled Jiro Horikoshi
(voice of Hideaki Anno) dreams of flying a plane but when he learns
he will be unable to become a pilot due to his poor eyesight, he
instead decides to be an aircraft designer. On September 1st 1923
Jiro is travelling by train when the Great Kanto earthquake
strikes. He assists fellow passenger Naoko (Miori Takimoto) and her
maid who suffers an injury. He doesn't meet Naoko again till many
years later after he has graduated university and has worked on
various designing jobs, without finding much success. The two fall
for each other and become engaged but Naoko is suffering from
tuberculosis. While they try to enjoy the time they have together
Jiro continues to work on designing his first successful plane.

Japanese anime feature. Unruly young Haru saves a cat from being
run over on her way back from school, little realising that the cat
is the son of the Cat King. When Haru is invited to visit the Cat
King's kingdom, it isn't long before she discovers that the Cat
King's plan is to marry her to his son, Prince Lune. Haru must
decide if she will stay in the Kingdom of the Cats or return to her
own world. Anne Hathaway and Tim Curry provide the voices in the
English dubbed version.
Goro Miyazaki directs this nostalgic coming-of-age animation from
Japan's Studio Ghibli. As Japan readies itself for the 1964 Tokyo
Olympics, fatherless 16-year-old high school student Umi (voice of
Sarah Bolger) helps run 'Coquelicot Manor', a boarding house
overlooking the Japanese port of Yokohama, while her mother Ryoko
(Jamie Lee Curtis) is away studying medicine in America. After
meeting up with local orphan Shun (Anton Yelchin), Umi enlists to
help save the 'Quartier Latin', an old and dilapidated building
housing her high school's clubs, which is being threatened with
demolition in the country's drive for post-war modernisation. As
feelings begin to develop between the pair, they soon find their
budding romance under threat when they discover they share a
previously unknown past.
Based on bank and official archives, this book focuses on Japan's
financial activities abroad - in particular, Japan's borrowings.
This is the story of Japan's success: a "doubtful" borrower in the
1870s, it became respected after the Russo-Japan war. This study
also highlights the mechanism of loan issues on the international
capital markets. First published in 1994, this title is part of the
Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.
Without a means of crediting and debiting accounts worldwide and
the non-physical transfer of funds, the rapid global economic
integration of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
would have been impossible. It is the globalization of the banking
system, much of which, particularly in Asia, had its roots in the
nineteenth century, that helped facilitate increased human
mobility, the exchange of commodities and manufactures, and the
simplified transfer of funds.
This volume examines the origins, growth, and business practices of
European banks in Asia, and the development of Asian (notably
Japanese and Hong Kong) banks, and their operations on an
international stage, and in doing so, provides important new detail
and analysis of economic globalization. It draws on the archival
documentation of main British, French, and Japanese banks involved
and provides analysis from a range of historical viewpoints,
including global banking strategy, monetary regimes, financial
markets, international trade, labor immigration, and the
development of communication tools.
