	Emperor Shirakawa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emperor Shirakawa (白河天皇 Shirakawa Tennō) (July 7, 1053 – July 24, 1129) was the 72nd imperial ruler of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
		Note: there's also a theory that Shirakawa was the actual father of Emperor Sutoku, officially the son of Emperor Toba, Shirakawa's grandson.
		Shirakawa was still alive when Toba abdicated in turn to his son, who became Emperor Sutoku.

	Station 10 - Shirakawa - Discussion
		These barriers were established at key points on all major highways and roads for the purpose of monitoring and controlling traffic around the country, particularly to prevent hostile armies from amassing and threatening the government.
		The barrier at Shirakawa had originally been established in the Nara period or before to protect the country from invasion or attack by the Emishi or primitive people who lived in the remote north country.
		Basho adds significance to the occasion by commenting that Shirakawa is one of the three great barrier gates of the north country; the others are Nakoso of Hitachi and Nezu of Dewa.

		The prize was presented jointly to Shirakawa and two U.S. scientists - Alan Heeger, 64, of the University of California at Santa Barbara and Alan MacDiarmid, 73, of the University of Pennsylvania - for their discovery and development of conductive polymers, or plastics that can transmit electric current.
		Shirakawa is the ninth Japanese to become a Nobel laureate and the first since Kenzaburo Oe, who won the prize for literature in 1994.
		Shirakawa subsequently devised a procedure to synthesize large quantities of polyacetylene film and also to control the proportions of two isomeric forms known as cis- and trans-polyacetylene.

		Shirakawa, Japanese for White River, was the name used by Issei (first-generation Japanese immigrants) settlers for the White River Valley, the fertile basin created by glacial streams from Washington's Mount Rainier.
		Shirakawa begins with the arrival of Issei in the early 1890s as farm workers recruited by labor contractors.
		Shirakawa documents the struggles and triumphs of Japanese families through World War I, the Great Depression, and the events leading to World War II and the forced removal of Japanese Americans from their farms, homes, and businesses and their incarceration into concentration camps.

		Shirakawa wined and dined his former colleagues for two $200-plus meals while at a state school board convention in Long Beach in November 1995.
		In one case Shirakawa, formerly a member of the Franklin-McKinley school board, generously used taxpayer dollars to treat the Oak Grove school board to jumbo shrimp, New York steak, swordfish, mahi-mahi, lamb chops and lemon linguine.
		(Shirakawa went so far as to say he never bills the city for his own bar tabs, although travel records from another trip indicate that he bought margaritas.) At the end of the five-day trip he had spent a total of $643.12 on meals.

	Nobel Prize 2000
		Professor Shirakawa has been a faculty member of Institute of Materials Science, University of Tsukuba for more than 20 years and has dedicated his life to both his research and education.
		This achievement was often said to be triggered by an accidental mistake --a thousand fold too much catalyst was added during synthesis of polymer-- resulting in a beautiful silvery film which possess many superior properties to metals when he was a research associate of Chemical Resources Laboratory at Tokyo Institute of Technology.
		They worked together with Dr. Alan Heeger in order to understand the mechanisms of the appearance of conductivity in insulating polymers and finally came to a conclusion that it is possible to introduce carriers in polymers by doping: modifying polyacetylene by oxidation with halogen vapor.

	Shirakawa-go
		Surrounded by pine covered mountains, beside the picturesque Shokawa River, Shirakawa village has become known for its unique thatched roof farmhouses built in a style called Gassho-zukuri.
		The farmhouses were built 200 to 300 years ago to suit the environment in Shirakawa.
		The steep angle of the roof prevents excessive build-up of snow in the winter, while the direction of the structures aid in keeping the rooms cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

		Shirakawa measured its conductivity but found it no higher than the conductivity measured in the 1960s on the fl polyacetylene powder; nor did its electrical behavior change (although its optical properties did) when the shiny film was exposed to chlorine.
		Working together, Heeger, MacDiarmid, Shirakawa, and their colleagues learned to make very pure samples of polyacetylene and decided to try doping them by exposure to bromine vapor.
		Shirakawa, who was born in 1936, holds a PhD from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (1966).

		Shirakawa, identified only as "a writer and filmmaker," displays a profound understanding of music, and his book has clearly been a labor of love.
		Shirakawa's discussion of all this is admirably clear-headed, and the chapters devoted to the conductor's experiences in the U.S., and to his legacy on disc, are invaluable.
		I hope Shirakawa might consider a revision this book at some later date; there's too much that's good about this book to let it be undermined by what's bad.

	The Hindu : Prize for discovering conducting polymers
		The leading actor in this story is the hydrocarbon polyacetylene, a flat molecule with an angle of 120x between the bonds and hence existing in two different forms, the isomers cis-polyacetylene and trans-polyacetylene (the latter form illustrated above).
		At the beginning of the 1970s, the Japanese chemist Shirakawa found that it was possible to synthetisise polyacetylene in a new way, in which he could control the proportions of cis- and trans- isomers in the fl polyacetylene film that appeared on the inside of the reaction vessel.
		In the summer of 1977, Heeger, MacDiarmid, Shirakawa, and co- workers, published their discovery in the article "Synthesis of electrically conducting organic polymers: Halogen derivatives of polyacetylene (CH)n" in The Journal of Chemical Society, Chemical Communications.

		We call such awakened people "liberal citizens," and we have founded the "Shirakawa Shinto" (meaning Shirakawa's new party) in the belief that, with those liberal citizens assembled under our party flag, a new life of our nation will be a reality in a not distant future.
		The Shirakawa New Party will: support and help independent, liberal citizens' social contribution activity (e.g., volunteer and NPO activity); diminish the morbid dependence upon administrative support rampant in such areas as welfare, medical care, education and environmental affairs; and carry out administrative reforms and fiscal reconstruction.
