Kyoto's Glocal Identity: Establishing Balance between Identity Change and Persistence
Author(s):
Abstract:
Kyoto is a miniature of Japan; through centuries of experience and persistence, it has maintained the symbols of the countrys civil and cultural identity. The city has demonstrated a collection of Japans noble identity and characteristics through its material and spiritual heritage. Kyotos rich history and its position have gathered a collection of religion-based works, artistic innovations, and cultural heritage and have passed them through to the modern world. Kyoto is the symbol of an effort for the persistence of the citys identity as well as the, coexistence of the modern and native characteristics within itself which indicates the glocal logic of the city. The question which is raised here is: what are the cultural and identity-related elements of Kyoto which have come together in a glocal structure and how have they been formed as such/in this way? Has Kyotoreally been successful in glocalizing itself in a balanced collection of civil, cultural, and identity-based characteristics and advance in the process? Considering the important role Kyoto plays in reflecting Japans history and culture, and the position it holds as the countrys cultural and historical heart, this paper has reviewed the citys experience as Japans cultural capital and has aimed to analyze and specify Kyotos persistent and identity-making characteristics in a glocal frame. In the end, the study will form a schema of the solidarity and dynamism of the analyzed elements based on Japans identity and culture.
