Sixteen chapters consider the various antecedents of each country1s native signed language, taking into account the historical background for their development and also the effects of foreign influences and changes in philosophies by the larger, dominant hearing societies.

Until the mid-1970s, deaf people in Japan had few legal rights and little social recognition. Legally, they were classified as minors or mentally deficient, unable to obtain driver's licenses or sign contracts and wills. Many worked at menial tasks or were constantly unemployed, and schools for the deaf taught a difficult regimen of speechreading and oral speech methods rather than signing. After several decades of activism, deaf men and women are now largely accepted within mainstream Japanese society.

Yoshida, S. A bridge from a soundless world. When I was four, my voice training started at a school for deaf-mute children. It took me almost two years to master pronunciation of the 50 sounds in the Japanese alphabet. Children in my neighborhood bullied me because of my physical disability, and I knew my mother was really upset by this. I could barely pronounce "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo," the key phrase of our Buddhist practice, by the time I was five.

Deaf history and current events

DeafTODAY.

golden marble bullet(2004, August 5). Childhood Memories Revived at Chunchon Puppet Festival.... Hitomi's Deaf Puppet Theater is composed of hearing-challenged actors. Their puppets will reproduce an incident revolving around an old woman and a raccoon to be done without speech. However, you are sure to understand what the cute puppets in Japanese traditional costumes are trying to say as you find yourself immersed in the story.

golden marble bullet(2004, July 16). New Tokyo school to prepare deaf students for university education. The Tokyo metropolitan government has decided to open a school for the deaf that will offer six years of middle and high school education intended to enable students to go to universities and colleges, according to metropolitan government officials.

golden marble bullet(2004, April 14). All about apples and oranges. The opening of Orange Days has Kai (Satoshi Tsumabuki) presenting an orange (of the natsumikan or iyokan variety) to Sae (Ko Shibasaki). He is a fourth-year social welfare major with sign-language skills, who is desperately searching for a full-time job. She is a hearing-impaired violinist who smokes, can sign in both the Kanto and Kansai dialects and enjoys making shockingly outrageous X-rated sign language statements.

golden marble bullet(2004, March 13). Sign language translation via videophone soon to appear. An interpretation service company will launch a new operation to translate sign language via videophones at counters at department stores, banks and travel agencies in the city of Fukuoka in April, it said Saturday.

Additionally, in the two days prior to the symposium the drummers will conduct workshops on the campus alongside one team of non-hearing impaired drummers from San Francisco.

golden marble bullet(2003, June 11). Sign language demanded for deaf students. One would think it only natural that sign language be the main means of communicating and teaching at schools for the hearing-impaired, but in Japan the spoken word generally comes first. Late last month, 43 deaf children and 64 of their parents submitted a petition to the Japan Federation of Bar Associations in which they claimed that their children's right to education was being infringed upon because school lessons are not given in Japanese sign language.

golden marble bullet(2003, March 13). Japanese Government assists three communities. The Japanese Ambassador, Mrs Kazuko Asai, on Wednesday expressed regret that though education was a fundamental right of all children, society's attitude towards the education of disabled children was "not very encouraging".

golden marble bullet(2003, January 9). Tokyo police to modernize 110 emergency call system. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is improving its "110" emergency call system to respond to a surge in the number of calls from mobile phones and to enable hearing-impaired people to send emergency e-mails.

golden marble bullet(2003, January 5). Saitama may change disabled student rules. The Saitama prefectural government is considering allowing handicapped students to enroll in both ordinary schools and schools for handicapped people, according to sources close to the government.

golden marble bullet(2002, December 19). Leery broadcaster stymies Net text system. The disapproval of a major broadcaster is thwarting the efforts of a support group to implement a text display system on its Web site that would allow the hearing disabled to more fully enjoy television viewing.
