Скачать или смотреть Translating the Past – A Historic Koseki Unveiled

SAECULII TRANSLATION JAPAN recently undertook the remarkable task of translating a historic Japanese family register (koseki) spanning nearly 200 years. This rare document covered major historical eras from the Tokugawa Shogunate to the Heisei period, revealing intriguing insights into Japan’s evolving society. The translation required expertise in classical Japanese and kanji characters no longer in use, necessitating the help of language scholars. The koseki reflected significant cultural shifts, including the slow adoption of modern writing systems, gender discrimination in record-keeping, and Japan’s rigid class system. Commissioned by descendants seeking to reconnect with their roots, this project underscores the importance of expert translation in ancestry research.
