Japan and The Graphic

A Complete Record of Events, 1870-1899
Edited by Terry Bennett August 2011 ISBN 978 19 06 87651 7 Hardback (approx. 400 pp.) List price EUR 140.- /US$ 192. Imprint: Global Oriental Launched in December 1869 in direct competition to The Illustrated London News, (ILN) which first appeared in 1842, The Graphic set out to upstage its competitor through the quality and amount of its illustrations (including colour) and the paper it was printed on. Together, however, the two periodicals dominated nineteenth-century British journalism. With circulations far in excess of The Times, the extent of the news including considerable foreign reporting opinion and miscellaneous data of these two publications provides an invaluable resource for researchers and historians. As with the ILN, this complementary one-stop reference volume brings together the complete archive of all reports, features, illustrations and incidental commentaries relating to Japan from the first report of 5 February1870 discussing Japans recent civil war, the overthrow of the Shiogoon or Tyocoon, the restoration of the Emperor (Mikado) and a vindication of Britains policy of firmness vis a vis Japan. Its concluding report on 16 December 1899 (the year of the ratification of the ending of the Unequal Treaties was concluded) notes: No power in the world stands in a more delicate and difficult position than Japan does just now.

Rethinking Japanese Modernism

Edited by Roy Starrs August 2011 ISBN 978 90 04 21003 5 Hardback (approx. 390 pp.) List price EUR 115.- /US$ 158. Imprint: Global Oriental Edited by Roy Starrs, this collection of essays by an international group of leading Japan scholars presents new research and thinking on Japanese modernism, a topic that has been increasingly recognized in recent years to be key to an understanding of contemporary Japanese culture and society. By adopting an open, multidisciplinary, and transnational approach to this multifaceted topic, the book sheds new light both on the specific achievements and on the often-unexpected interrelationships of the writers, artists and thinkers who helped to define the Japanese version of modernism and modernity. Specific topics addressed include the literary modernism of major writers such as Akutagawa, Kawabata, Kajii, Miyazawa, and Murakami, avant-garde modernism in painting, music, theatre, and in the performance art of Yoko Ono, and the everyday modernism of popular culture and of new urban activities such as shopping and sports.

A History of the Takarazuka Revue Since 1914

Makiko Yamanashi
October 2011 ISBN 978 90 04 20386 0 Hardback (approx. 288 pp.) List price EUR 85.- /US$ 117. Imprint: Global Oriental Founded in the hot-spring resort town of the same name in 1914, Takarazuka is a kaleidoscopic medium, both in terms of its theatricality and visual characteristics. Yet, despite its prominence and popularity, it has not received the academic attention it deserves, especially in the context of theatre studies. This book, therefore, by taking an interdisciplinary approach, endeavours to fill this gap through a detailed analysis of the Takarazuka Revue Companys history, educational traditions and theatrical ethos viewed from the prism of Japans modernization and globalization in the twentieth century. Its important relationship to Japanese popular culture, especially in the fields of manga and fashion are also given due consideration.

Critical Readings on Japan, 1906-1948: Countering Japans Agenda and the Communist Menace in East Asia Series 2: Pamphlets and Press
April 2011 ISBN 978 19 06 876549 (Set: 10 Vols; 4200 pp.) List price EUR 1299.- /US$ 1815.The second series of Critical Readings offers in ten volumes a selection of sixty-two English-language pamphlets, press and journal articles, many extremely rare. This selection of valuable primary media history resources published between 1906 and 1948 takes Japans agenda from the aftermath of victory against Russia and a free hand in Manchuria through Japans blitzkrieg on Asia to the ignominy and ruin of 1945, and beyond to the ousting of the Guomindang and the approaching unifi cation of China under Mao. Volumes 9 and 10 demonstrate that even among the most vociferous critics of Japans agenda in East Asia, the greater perceived enemy in the 1920s was the Communist Party of China. They show that opposition to the Communists did not mean signing up to Japans agenda, despite Japans self-appointed mission to rid Asia of the Communist menace, as exemplified in the selection for the companion collection, also edited by Peter OConnor, Japanese Propaganda: Selected Readings, Series 1 and 2.

The Demographic Challenge: A Handbook about Japan

jAPAn STUDIES
Edited by Florian Coulmas, Harald Conrad, Annette Schad-Seifert and Gabriele Vogt This Handbook explores the challenges demographic change poses to todays Japan. The first part provides the fundamental data involved, and the subsequent two parts address the social and cultural aspects of Japans demographic change. Parts four and five are dedicated to the political, economic and social security aspects of demographic change. April 2008 ISBN 978 90 04 15477 3 Hardback (xx, 1200 pp.) List price EUR 211.- /US$ 289.The Handbook brings together a group of international scholars of various disciplinary backgrounds to take issue with the worlds fastest demographic transition. Topics include the dynamics of gender roles, images of age, policy formation, labour market structures, pension system, living arrangements, ethical values, and many more. Against the background of Japans demographic change, the latest developments in these fields are being introduced, and whenever appropriate set into a context of historical and/or international comparison. This Handbook is the first comprehensive publication in English on Japans demographic change. This very impressive compendium on a timely subject consists of 63 well-researched articles, written by Japanese and non-Japanese scholars from a variety of academic/research institutions and edited by four outstanding specialists. Chief editor Coulmas is director of the German Institute for Japanese Studies, Tokyo. The editors did a fine job of managing the difficulty of doing demographic research on a population that requires dealing with economic, political, and cultural factors. Each part begins with an introduction, followed by general articles and case in point articles. In part 1, editors offer an introduction to major population issues for nonspecialists, including the fundamentals of Japanese demographics. Part 2 concerns social aspects of demographic change, with its case in point being time spent with children. Part 3 on cultural aspects of demographic change focuses on a pet culture in the making. The political aspects of demographic change are the focus of Part 4, with the case in point being the age structure of volunteers. Part 5 features two cases in point: silver customers and ward that takes pride in being traffic safe for the elderly. Readers can find a special subject of interest, yet the work serves nonspecialists as well. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All large academic libraries CHOICE, March 2009

Japanese culture, marked both by a strong character of its own and by a continuing absorption of foreign elements, is surprising for its ability of perpetual renewal without loss of identity. The countrys industrial organization and productivity have ensured an impact on world affairs far exceeding the numerical importance of its population. Brills Japanese Studies Library is concerned with the languages, history and culture of Japan in past and present. Among the subjects included are history political, social, economic based on primary sources, including biography; religion; classical literature and performing arts; law language; philosophy; history of science; et cetera. Geographically the series covers the Japanese isles as well as manifestations of Japanese presence abroad. Chronologically the period from the beginnings of written history until the present is covered. The series includes monographs on substantial subjects, thematic collections of articles, handbooks, text editions and translations. The volumes contribute to scholarly research. Their accessibility is enhanced by a proper organization of the contents and, wherever appropriate, by indexes. They include introductions placing the subjects in the context of pertinent developments of the time, and of current research. Text editions are as a rule accompanied by a translation of facing pages; translations are fully annotated; the introductions of both text editions and translations include full evaluations of the text concerned.

The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga

by ta Gyichi. Translated and edited by J.S.A. Elisonas and J.P. Lamers Shinch-K ki, the work translated here into English under the title The Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga, is the most important source on the career of one of the best known figures in all of Japanese historyOda Nobunaga (1534-1582), the first of the Three Heroes who unified Japan after a century of fragmentation and internecine bloodshed. The other two of the triad, Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598) and Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616), also make frequent appearances in this chronicle, playing prominent although clearly subordinate roles. So the chronicle also is an important source on their early careers, as it is on a constellation of other actors in Japans sixteenth-century drama. The chronicles author, ta Gyichi, was Nobunagas former retainer and an eyewitness of some of the events he describes. He completed his work about the year 1610.

Creating Kabuki Plays

Context for Kezairoku, Valuable Notes on Playwriting
Katherine Saltzman-Li
This volume makes available for the first time a complete translation in English of a key text for our understanding of Kabuki, viz. Kezairoku, Sakusha Shikih (Valuable Notes on Playwriting, A Playwrights Methodology, written 1801), being the only extant treatise fully devoted to the subject of Kabuki playwriting. At the hand of this vital text, the author addresses the history, methodology, and practitioners of Kabuki playwriting of the Edo Period (1603-1867.) The reader will find a critical examination of Kezairoku, and discussions regarding the connections between the Kabuki and literary worlds of Edo Japan, and between playwriting and the oral arts. The availability of the entire Kezairoku in English, together with a full contextualization of its teachings and meanings, offers a volume of great significance to both Japan and theatre scholars.

The Subversive Activities Prevention Law of Japan

Its Creation, 1951-52
Cecil H. Uyehara
The Subversive Activities Prevention Law (SAPL) was the last major controversial law to be drafted at the end of the Allied Occupation of Japan (1945-1952) which was managed and controlled by General Headquarters (GHQ) under U.S. General macArthur and was enacted into law after Japan had regained its formal independence in 1952. Soon after the Occupation began, prewar Japanese internal security laws were ordered abolished by the Occupation. Now that Japan would be re-gaining its independence in 1952, there was urgency to creating a new integrated national internal security law to fill the vacuum created by the Occupation, 1945-1952. The Subversive Activities Prevention Law was to be the centerpiece for maintaining internal security in the new independent Japan. It turned out to be an extremely controversial law that was vociferously opposed by the political opposition in and out of the Diet in light of the prewar history, surrounding how such internal security laws were implemented by the state security apparatus. The demonstrations in 1951-52 against the proposed law, organized by the labor unions, were the largest, loudest and most determined since the end of the war.

Hitomaro: Poet as God

Anne Commons
Kakinomoto no Hitomaro (fl. ca. 690) is generally regarded as one of the pre-eminent poets of premodern Japan. While most existing scholarship on Hitomaro is concerned with his poetry, this study foregrounds the process of his reception and canonization as a deity of Japanese poetry. Building on new interest in issues of canon formation in premodern Japanese literature, this book traces the reception history of Hitomaro from its earliest beginnings to the early modern period, documenting and analysing the phases of the process through which Hitomaro was transformed from an admired poet to a poetic deity. The result is a new perspective on a familiar literary figure through his placement within the broader context of Japanese poetic culture.

Miki Kiyoshi 1897-1945

Japans Itinerant Philosopher
Susan C. Townsend
This book takes us on a fascinating journey through the world of thought of Miki Kiyoshi, one of Japans pre-eminent philosophers before the Pacific War, and thus makes us discover the man behind the philosopher. His collaboration with government think-tanks in the late 1930s has made him highly controversial in historiographical debates. His death in prison, six weeks after Japans defeat, hastened the lifting of pre-war restrictions on civil rights in Japan. He was a prolific, diverse and original thinker, revered by the Japanese as a plain-speaking, deeply humanistic philosopher who connected with the real lives of the people. As a translator, editor and journalist he intoduced many works of western European literature and philosophy into Japan.

Nagaoka
Japans Forgotten Capital
Ellen Van Goethem
This is the first work to deal comprehensively with the historical and physical aspects of the Nagaoka palace and capital, which were constructed in the eighth century at the order of Kanmu Tenn, but abruptly abandoned after only ten years. New research and the information yielded by decades of excavation made possible this fresh reassessment of conventional theories of the construction and layout of Nagaoka, as well as the life and reign of its founder. It also examines the motivations behind Nagaokas establishment and abandonment within the context of Kanmus reign and personal convictions. In broader terms, this volume deals with the process of capital building in late eighth-century Japan, and the links between the Nara and Heian capitals. Nagaoka is a supremely well organized and lucid work of scholarship.(...) This excellent book adds much to a critical mass of scholarship that ensures Nagaoka-ky will remain Japans forgotten capital no longer. mATTHEW STAVROS, University of Sydney in: Japanese Studies, Vol. 29, No.1, May 2009.

Christ in Japanese Culture

Theological Themes in Shusaku Endos Literary Works
Emi Mase-Hasegawa
This ground-breaking study on the Roman Catholic, Japanese novelist Endo Shusaku (1923-1996) uniquely combines western and Japanese religious, theological and philosophical thought. The author interprets Endos central works such as Silence (1966), The Samurai (1980), and Deep River (1996), from a theological point of view as documents of inculturation of Christianity in Japan. Analysing the social and religious context of Japan in a global perspective, the author identifies a central role for koshinto a traditional Japanese ethos in Endos thought on inculturation. Endos change from a critical to a positive acceptance of the koshinto tradition partly accounts for his move from a pessimistic attitude of Christian inculturation in his early years to the growing theocentric and pneumatic concerns of his later years. Essential for Western readers. () this is a book that was waiting to be written. () Mase-Hasegawas study will be of interest to a readership not limited to aficionados of Japanese literature or of the debates surrounding religious inculturation. Indeed, as Ursula King suggests in her foreword, this is a pioneering book that bridges several worlds MARK WILLIAMS in Journal of Japanese Studies

Japanese Fiction of the Allied Occupation

Vision, Embodiment, Identity
Sharalyn Orbaugh
The reconstruction of identity in post World War II Japan after the trauma of war, defeat and occupation forms the subject of this latest volume in Brills monograph series Japanese Studies Library. Closely examining the role of fiction produced during the Allied Occupation, Sharalyn Orbaugh begins with an examination of the rhetoric of wartime propaganda, and explores how elements of that rhetoric were redeployed postwar as authors produced fiction linked to the redefinition of what it means to be Japanese. Drawing on tools and methods from trauma studies, gender and race studies, and film and literary theory, the study traces important nodes in the construction and maintenance of discourses of identity through attention to writers representations of the gaze, the body, language, and social performance. This book will be of interest to any student of the literary or cultural history of World War II and its aftermath. CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE 2007.

Hiratsuka Raich and Early Japanese Feminism

Hiroko Tomida
This work on Hiratsuka Raich at last fully assesses her key role in the history of the Japanese womens movement. It provides a full and contextual analysis of the life (1886-1971) and work of this leading Japanese feminist, all in the light of the changes affecting women in Japan. At the same time the author compares her working with similar historical shifts and movements in western countries, notably Great Britain and the United States. International comparisons at the level of personal biography and associated ideas are made, to see the influence of Western feminists on Hiratsukas feminism. Hiratsuka is compared with other Japanese feminists, whereby her pivotal role in the history of the Japanese womens movement becomes clear. With extensive footnotes for further reference -and research -, a number of appendices, a detailed bilingual glossary and bibliography; a true reference on an important subject. Tomida has done extensive research, both archival and oral, and her presentation is graceful and clear... this is also a book about the history of women in 20th century Japan; the appendixes, glossary, and bibliography alone make this book indispensable for this rapidly growing field.

The Orientation of Science and Technology

A Japanese View
Shigeru Nakayama, University of Tokyo
One of the most distinguished science historians of the twentieth century, Shigeru Nakayama has been at the forefront of redirecting or reorientating conventional East Asian science and technology, arguing, like Joseph Needham, that the orientation of science refers not only to the direction of science but also implies a turning to Eastern science. In recent times, he has been arguing for implementation of a Service Science,which is linked to the rights and needs of mankind. A survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, he majored in astrophysics at the University of Tokyo and wrote on the history of astronomy for his PhD and later on the history of science for his Harvard PhD.

Identity, Gender, and Status in Japan

Takie Lebra, University of Hawaii
As one of Japans leading post-war anthropologists, the writings of Takie Lebra have had significant impact on Western understanding and appreciation of the structures and workings of Japanese society. In particular, her research into the notions of self and self-other relationships, issues of gender and women and motherhood has provided a new paradigm in the way these issues are now addressed. Similarly, her analysis of the status culture of royalty and the aristocracy in Japan, based on extensive field study, which culminated in her book Above the Clouds: Status Culture of the Modern Japanese Nobility (1993), has been widely regarded as the most important contribution of its kind to date. This volume brings together twenty-four of the authors key papers on the three principal areas of her research over the last thirty-five years, and includes a complete Bibliography of her published writings, subdivided into books, articles in journals or as book chapters, and book reviews. The collection is introduced by Takie Lebra herself, in which she first reviews selected essays appearing in the volume, along with a consideration of the contemporary controversy surrounding the imperial succession. In conclusion, by way of a personal mini memoir, she offers what she terms a sentimental reverie on my own self as a native outsider.

The Emperors of Modern Japan

Edited by Ben-Ami Shillony The Japanese emperors, a peculiar and unique phenomenon in modern times, are the subject of this important handbook edited by Ben-Ami Shillony. An international team of leading scholars looks at these emperors meiji (mutsuhito), Taish (Yoshihito), Shwa (Hirohito), and the present emperor Akihito both as personalities, and as a constantly developing institution. It becomes clear that both the personalities, and the periods in which they reign(ed) have shaped Japanese monarchy, and our image of it. The essays thoroughly deal with topics such as the ideology behind the institution, the roles of the emperors and their wives, their visual representation, their links to Christianity, the antagonism they called forth in right-wing circles, Hirohitos much-debated war responsibility, and the controversy over amending the succession rules. this volume is a valuable and thought-provoking collection of essays (...) a valuable addition to the literature about the Japanese monarchical system which, despite its lack of real power, remains deeply rooted in Japanese traditions, even if it seems decreasingly relevant to the new generations of the twenty-first century.

A History of Nationalism in Modern Japan

Placing the People
Kevin M. Doak
This volume provides a systematic overview of the debates over Japanese national identity and nationalism from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present. It presumes that nationalism is a particular form of identity-politics and as such it foregrounds national identity as it has been articulated by influential Japanese intellectuals. Building on theories that situate nationalism as a mode of politicizing the people, this study presents Japanese nationalism as a contestory practice that positions the people as what the nation is and what nationalism seeks to achieve. The body of the text is composed of chapters that explore key sites where this practice has been particularly intense and influential (kokumin, minzoku, shakai, tenno). the most comprehensive analysis of Japanese nationalism that exists in the English language.

Pre-industrial Korea and Japan in Environmental Perspective

Conrad Totman
Quoting from a readers report this is an original and compelling synthesis of the environmental history of Korea and Japan. Taking the history of Japan and Korea and their environmental interactions from late Pleistocene down to about 1870 AD, the author makes a convincing case for viewing the two countries together, as a history, particularly when looking at their pre-industrial experiences. Drawing from a rare combination of knowledge of both countries, Conrad Totman reveals the extent of shared timing, substance, and dynamics in the political, social, and economic development of the two countries, and in their relationship to the ecosystem. With extensive bibliography, chronology, glossary, maps and graphs. A real must. an impressive work on an unarguably important topic. BRUCE L. BATTEN, Monumenta Nipponica. this is an astonishingly interesting book, based on Totmans lifetime of nuanced observations as well as considerable recent researchrequired reading because in it Totman knowingly teaches those of us who teach.

A Cultural History from the Beginnings to the Nineteenth Century
Peter Kornicki
This study deals with all aspects of the history of the book in Japan, from the production of manuscripts and printed books to book-collecting, libraries, censorship and readership. It also sets books in the context of Japans cultural ties with China, Korea and Parhae. The focus is on the history of both texts and physical books. This encompasses not only books in Japanese but also books in Chinese by Chinese and Korean authors, and some Western books as well. It is an essential reference tool and bibliographic guide for all those interested in book studies, and particularly of importance for historians of Japanese culture. It is illustrated with examples taken from various collections of early Japanese books in Europe. Kornicki has given us a handsome and beautifully organized handbook that is sure to inform and stimulate research for many years to come. J. mARSHALL UNGER, The Journal of Asian Studies.

The Law of Occupation

Continuity and Change of International Humanitarian Law, and its Interaction with International Human Rights Law
Yutaka Arai-Takahashi
This monograph analyses the historical evolution of the laws of occupation as a special branch of international humanitarian law (IHL), focusing on the extent to which this body of law has been transformed by its interaction with the development of international human rights law. It argues that a large part of the laws of occupation has proved to be malleable while being able to accommodate changing demands of civilians and any other persons affected by occupation in modern context. Its examinations have drawn much on archival research into the drafting documents of the instruments of IHL, including the aborted Brussels Declaration 1874, the 1899/1907 Hague Regulations, the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1977 Additional Protocol I. After assessing the complementary relationship between international human rights law and the laws of occupation, the book examines how to provide a coherent explanation for an emerging framework on the rights of individual persons affected by occupation. It engages in a theoretical appraisal of the role of customary IHL and the Martens clause in building up such a normative framework.

Farmers of Forty Centuries or Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea and Japan

F.H. King. Edited by J.P. Bruce
First published in 1926, this classic survey, which includes nearly 250 photographs, examines the traditional farming methods of the densely populated lands of China, Korea and Japan and shows how fertility can be maintained over many centuries through conserving and utilizing natural resources. In the Introduction, the author notes: The United States as yet a nation of but few people widely scattered over a broad virgin land with more than twenty acres to the support of every man, woman and child, while the people whose practices are to be considered are toiling in fields tilled more than three thousand years and who have scarcely more than two acres per capita, more than one-half of which is uncultivable land. Researchers and scholars in the fields of human geography, regional studies and earth sciences, as well as social and economic history will welcome this landmark study being returned to print.

Japans Imperial Forest Goryrin, 1889-1946

With a Supporting Study of the Kan/Min Division of Woodland in Early Meiji Japan, 1871-76
Conrad Totman, Yale University
This is the first study of its kind to trace the history of what was to become one of Japans major resources and a model of conservation and forestry management. Central to the planning of the meiji reformers was securing the long-term financial stability of the Imperial household that would not leave it exposed to the whims of future political and economic change. The solution was the goryorin, or imperial forests. Over time, however, the acquired land generated controversy within the framework of law and other imperatives, and was finally abandoned by the Occupation authorities because of the political ideology that was its raison dtre in the first place. In Part II, the author explores the great early Meiji debate between government and people (kan/min) concerning the reorganization of woodland in Japan, which in essence was a contest for control of the realm. By 1889 the Tokyo government, despite having 80 percent of the people (min), then living in villages, against them, completed their programme of forest consolidation, leading the way to their rationale for the goryorin allocation.

The Shamisen: Tradition and Diversity

Henry Johnson
The shamisen is a traditional Japanese musical instrument. It was introduced to Japan in the mid-sixteenth century via China and the Ryky Islands, and was quickly established as a culturally significant musical instrument in its new context. The instrument a three-string lute developed numerous styles of performance and is found as a solo and ensemble instrument in diverse social and cultural contexts. The shamisen is known as an instrument of geisha in the entertainment districts; it is used in kabuki and bunraku theatre; and also has an established place within a wide-range of performance traditions, many of which are depicted in woodblock prints and other art depicting everyday life of the Edo period. This book, which is based on the authors field research in Japan, is a history of the shamisen. It locates the instrument within its various social and cultural contexts, and includes accompanying illustrations (e.g., woodblock prints, photographs and illustrations) to help show visually the place of the instrument in traditional and modern Japan.

Portraits of Chgen
The Transformation of Buddhist Art in Early Medieval Japan
John m. Rosenfield
This volume, the first in Brills Japanese Visual Culture series, vividly describes the efforts of the Japanese monk Shunjb Chgen (11211206) to restore major buildings and works of art lost in a brutal civil conflict in 1180. Chgen is best known for his role in the recasting of the Great Buddha (Daibutsu) and the reconstructing of the South Great Gate (Nandaimon) of Tdaiji in Nara and its huge, dramatic wooden guardian figures. This study concentrates on these and other replacement statues and buildings associated with Chgen and situates the visual arts of Japan into the spiritual and socio-political context of their times. Through meticulous study of dedicatory material, Rosenfield is able to place the splendid Buddhist statues made for Chgen in vivid new light. The volume also explores how Japans rulers employed the visual arts as instruments of government policy a tactic that recurs throughout the nations history.

Japanese Visual Culture, 2 During the first century of Japans early modern era (1580s to 1680s), art and architecture created for the imperial court served as markers of social prestige, testifying to the enduring centrality of the palace to the cultural life of Kyoto. Emperors Go-Yzei and Go-mizunoo relied on financial support from ruling warlords Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the Tokugawa shoguns just as the warlords sought imperial sanction granting them legitimacy to rule. Taking advantage of this complex but oftentimes strained synergy, Go-Yzei and Go-mizunoo (and to an unprecedented exent his empress, Tfukumonin) enhanced the heriditary prerogatives of the imperial family.

Traditional Monster Imagery in Manga, Anime and Japanese Cinema

zlia Papp
Traditional Monster Imagery in Manga, Anime and Japanese Cinema builds on the earlier volume Anime and its Roots in Early Japanese Monster Art, that aimed to position contemporary Japanese animation within a wider art historical context by tracing the development of monster representations in Edo- and Meiji-period art works and post-war visual media. While the previous volume concentrated on modern media representations, this work focuses on how Western art historical concepts and methodology might be adapted when considering non-Western works, introducing traditional monster art in more detail, while also maintaining its links to post-war animation, sequential art and Japanese cinema. The book aims at a general readership interested in Japanese art and media as well as graduate students who might be searching for a research model within the fields of Animation Studies, media Studies or Visual Communication Design.

Anime and Its Roots in Early Japanese Monster Art

zlia Papp, Saitama University
Japanese anime plays a major role in modern popular visual culture and aesthetics, yet this is the first study which sets out to put todays anime in historical context by tracking the visual links between Edo- and Meiji-period painters and the post-war period animation and manga series Gegegeno Kitaro by Mizuki Shigeru. Through an investigation of the very popular Gegegeno Kitaro series, broadcast from the 1960s to the present time, the author is able to pinpoint the visual roots of the animation characters in the context of ykai folklore and Edo- and Meiji- period monster painting traditions. Through analysing the changing images related to the representation of monsters in the series, the book documents the changes in the perception of monsters over the last half-century, while at the same time reflecting on the importance of mizukis work in keeping Japans visual traditions alive and educating new audiences about folklore by recasting ykai imagery in modern-day settings in an innovative way. In addition, by analysing and comparing character, set, costume and mask design, plot and storyline of ykai-themed films, the book is also the first study to shed light on the roles the representations of ykai have been assigned in post-war Japanese cinema. This book will be of particular interest to those studying Japanese visual media, including manga and animation, as well as students and academics in the fields of Japanese Studies, Animation Studies, Art History and Graphic Design.

Hotei Publishing Today, the names of these artists themselves are celebrated throughout the world, and yet very little is known about the publishers of these artworks, despite the fact that they played a crucial role in the production, visual appearance and actual distribution of the works within the highly commercial world of Japanese printmaking. It was the publisher who gauged the markets, commissioned the artists and took on the risks of production. Once a design was completed by an artist, it was the publisher who coordinated the production process, farming out the work to the block carvers and printers, and also managed the distribution of the prints in the appropriate markets.

Reading Surimono
The Interplay of Text and Image in Japanese Prints
With a catalogue of the Marino Lusy Collection, Edited by John T. Carpenter This full-colour catalogue illustrates and describes over 300 surimono (privately published deluxe Japanese prints) belonging to the Graphics Collection of the museum of Design zurich, which were recently placed on long-term loan to the museum Rietberg zurich. Originally bequeathed to the Museum of Design by the Swiss collector Marino Lusy (1880-1954), the collection includes many rare and previously unpublished examples. Edited by John T. Carpenter, with contributions from a distinguished roster of Edo art and literary specialists, this groundbreaking scholarly publication investigates surimono as a hybrid genre combining literature and art. Introductory essays treat issues such as text-image interaction and iconography, poetry and intertextuality, as well as the operation of Kabuki fan clubs and poetry circles in late 18th and early 19th century Japan. Other essays document Lusys accomplishments as a talented lithographer inspired by East Asian art, and as an astute collector who acquired prints from Parisian auction houses and dealers in the early 20th century. Translations of kyoka (31-witty verse) that accompany images are given for all prints. The volume also includes a comprehensive index of poets with Japanese characters. This publication is not only indispensable to specialists in ukiyo-e, but has much to offer any reader interested in traditional Japanese art and literature.

Hiroshige, Shaping the Image of Japan

Chris Uhlenbeck & Marije Jansen
Hiroshige Shaping the Image of Japan is a comprehensive overview of Hiroshiges work as a woodblock print artist. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) is one of the great masters in the history of Japanese printmaking and this publication coincides with the 150th anniversary of his death. Hiroshige has worked in virtually every genre of ukiyo-e or images of the floating world. He designed prints of beautiful women and brave heroes, but achieved his greatest fame through his depictions of the Japanese landscape, showing famous places in different seasons and at various times of day. These landscape prints, with their bright colors and strong compositions, were not only popular in Japan, but also found favor with European artists at the turn of the 19th century. The main body of this publication includes a general introduction, sketching the cultural and economic environment of the artist Hiroshige, the development of his oeuvre, and the rise of his artistic reputation in Japan and the West. This is followed by a chronological presentation of 140 full-color prints, selected from public and private collections. Biographical data are sparse and only very few details of his life help explain the nature of his output. However, by carefully piecing together the information which can be gleaned from the works themselves, and combining it with the current knowledge on print production methods, the authors present a picture of Hiroshige as an artist-cum-craftsman who efficiently produced for his publishers, creating in the process an image of Japan which endures until this day. Hiroshige: shaping the image of Japan goes beyond most artistic coverages of Hiroshiges works, offering both a general introduction and a survey of the cultural and economic climate during which Hiroshige honed his composition techniques and developed a world-wide following. Lovely, delicate color prints pack an excellent survey recommended for any collection seeking a basic introduction. JAMES A. COx, Editor-in-Chief, Midwest Book Review

A Brush With Animals

Japanese Paintings 1700-1950
Robert Schaap, with essays by Willem van Gulik, Henk Herwig, Arendie Herwig-Kempers, Daniel McKee & Andrew Thompson
Japan has a long and rich tradition of using animal imagery in works of art. A Brush with Animals. Japanese Painting 1700-1950 gives an overview of Japanese animal painting, covering some 250 years, with an emphasis on works by artists of the naturalistic Shij School. It illustrates the wonderful variety of animals that figure in Japanese iconography, including the 12 animals of the zodiac and many mythological creatures. The reader is thus taken on a tour through the animal kingdom, which is profusely illustrated with no less than 300 colour images. A selection of essays explains in great detail the stories and legends behind the animal imagery and provides background information on the practical aspects and social context of Japanese hanging scroll paintings. A useful tool for the collector and a delight for anyone sensitive to the beauty of Japanese art. A Brush with Animals was selected from collections of members of the Society for Japanese Arts (private and museum collections), to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Society. many of the paintings are published here for the first time. As a Japanese bestiary, this collection () is representative and sensitively presented. As a record of the bond between man and beast, it is moving as well. And as a commemoration of the Japanese animal kingdom, it is splendid. DONALD RICHIE, in The Japan Times

Yoshitoshis Strange Tales

John Stevenson
Tais Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was fascinated by the supernatural, and some of his best work concerns ghosts, monsters, and charming animal transmutations. Yoshitoshis strange tales presents two series (with full page illustrations) that focus on his depictions of the weird and magical world of the transformed. The first series is One Hundred Tales of Japan and China (Wakan hyaku monogatari, 1865) and it is based on a game in which people told short scary ghost tales in a darkened room, extinguishing a candle as each tale ended. New Forms of Thirty-six Strange Things (Shinken sanjrokkaisen) of 1889-92 illustrates stories from Japans rich heritage of legends in more serene and objective ways.

General Editor: Amy Reigle Newland. Specialist Advisers: Julie Nelson Davis, Oikawa Shigeru, Ellis Tinois & Chris Uhlenbeck The Hotei Encyclopedia of Japanese Woodblock Prints will serve as a source of quick reference as well as an in-depth study of all aspects of Japanese prints from the Edo (1600-1868) to Taish (1912-26) periods. The first section of The Hotei Encyclopedia is divided into four main subject areas: historical background, the art history of Ukiyo-e prints, print production (materials and techniques, the publishing trade) and the history of collecting Japanese prints, with a shorter fifth section on conservation. Each subject area contains a longer survey article which is accompanied by shorter essays that highlight specific topics pertaining to Japanese prints and their development. The second section of the book comprises an extensive alphabetical listing of well over a 2000 carefully cross-referenced entries on individual print designers and schools, publishers, carvers, printers and collectors, major Kabuki actors, materials and techniques, conservation, subject-matter/iconography, literature and miscellaneous print-related terminology. This is followed by various appendices, including such aspects as seals of publishers and carvers, signatures, maps and chronological tables. With this ambitious project Hotei Publishing hopes to fill the gap for an extensive reference work and introduction to Japanese prints, one that will prove a valuable resource for teachers and students, art collectors, librarians and interested lay-people alike.

Overall, the editors did an excellent job selecting topics and authors for the essays, which provide succinct summaries of their subjects. The best of these go beyond mere summarization and provide a sense of how studies on these topics developed historically, reveal recently addressed avenues of research, use close discussion of specific prints to amplify larger points that place print production within a cultural context, and suggest directions for future scholarship.

Raatgever, Robert Schaap and Chris Uhlenbeck. Kawase Hasui (1883-1957) is considered the foremost Japanese landscape print artist of the 20th century. His work is characterized by a fascination with light, climatic conditions and tranquility. His oeuvre consists of over 700 designs of which the largest proportion was produced for the initiator of the Shin hanga (new print) movement, Watanabe Shzabur. This publication illustrates his oeuvre in color including all the designs he produced for other publishers. The illustrations are predominantly taken from the two largest collections of Hasui prints in the world: the collections of Robert O. Muller, now housed in the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of Art, and the Watanabe family. This bilingual publication includes essays by Kendall Brown and Shichir Watanabe, facsimiles of seals and signatures and a bibliography. Originally published in 2003, this groundbreaking publication on the life and work of Kawase Hasui is now available with a DVD, which includes a 1950s film on the artist and the production of one of his designs, a process book displaying all stages in the creation of a Japanese woodblock print, and designs which have been discovered since 2003. These attractively slipcased volumes, formatted to enable the user to view the plate while reading the pertinent commentary and data, are something that all collectors and admirers of Hasui will want to own.

History
Nagasaki
The British Experience, 1854-1945
Brian Burke-Gaffney, Nagasaki Institute of Applied Science
Long overdue, this important first full length account in English of the history of Japans first foreign settlement, which for centuries was the countrys only front doorto the outside world, will be widely welcomed. Following the opening of Japans ports in 1859, Nagasaki rapidly became one of Japans leading industrial centres, which included shipbuilding, but, other than the history surrounding the atomic bombing of August 1945, in the post-war period, it has been largely overshadowed by interest in the Meiji settlements of Kobe and Yokohama. Fully illustrated, the value of the work is reinforced by additional key data to be found in the appendices, including the 1866 and 1898 Directories of Foreign Residents, the 1872 List of Property being Rented, a List of Existing Cultural Assets of the Former Nagasaki Foreign Settlement and a chronology of madame Butterfly and Nagasaki.

Japanese Episodes
Edward H. House. With an Introduction by James L. Huffman, Wittenburg University
First published in Boston in 1881 and rarely available today, Japanese Episodes reveals House as a writer, commentator and observer of things Japanese at his best and was to inspire Lafcadio Hearn in the same pursuit twenty years later. Formerly a reporter for the New York Tribune, House was a respected journalist in the United States, and though later he became a paid apologist for the Japanese state in many of his writings, sought to find a balance between his integrity as a writer and the task of arguing Japans case to the outside world: an objective many have since argued which was unattainable. Nevertheless, Japanese Episodes provides an important benchmark in Western writing on Japan in the early Meiji period.

War and Militarism in Modern Japan

Issues of History and Identity
Edited by Guy Podoler, University of Haifa A considerable amount of writing has been published on Japan at war in the Second World War, and more recently scholars have been revisiting the Russo-Japanese War of 19045; whereas this volume strives to examine Japans twentieth-century approach to war and militarism in a wider perspective, bringing hitherto unexamined new themes and subject-matter under scrutiny up to the present day. Among the topics covered are the February 26 Incident in Theatre and Film, Ethnicity and Gender in Wartime Japanese Revue Theatre, Military Festivals and the Japanese Self-Defence Forces, Major Trends in Japanese Treatment of POWs in Modern Times, and Japans Tug of Warafter the Russian War. Published to mark the distinguished academic career of Ben-Ami Shillony, who retired in 2006, this volume also offers valuable new insights into the theme of the Japanese and the Jews, including the Story and Myth of Anne Frank and Sadako Sasaki, the involvement of Jewish scientists in the making of the atomic bomb, and Japans Jewish Policy in the late 1930s. PART II: IDENTITY IN HISTORY. 6 Imperial Japan and Its POWs: The Dilemma of Humaneness and National Identity; 7 Japans Defeat in the Second World War: The Cultural Dimension; 8 Jewish Scientists, Jewish Ethics and the making of the Atomic Bomb; 9 The Memory of the Second World War and the Essence of New Japan: The Parliamentary Debate Over Japans Democratic Constitution. PART III: IDENTITY CONSTRUCTED. 10 Lives Divided in the Second World War: The Individual and the Master Narrative of War; 11 Sadako Sasaki and Anne Frank: Myths in Japanese and Israeli memory of the Second World War; 12 Death and the Japanese Self-Defence Forces: Anticipation, Deployment and Cultural Scripts; 13 A Fragile Balance between Normalization and the Revival of Nationalistic Sentiments; 14 The Effect of Japanese Colonial Brutality on Shaping Korean Identity: An Analysis of a Prison Turned Memorial Site in Seoul.

History
Japan and The Illustrated London News

Complete Record of Reported Events, 18531899
Edited by Terry Bennett The Illustrated London News, launched in 1842, was the worlds first illustrated newspaper and an immediate success. Its first report on Japan, however, was not until eleven years later when as a result of Commodore Perrys much discussed plan to open Japan it published a substantial piece entitled The United States Expedition to Japan in the issue of 7 may 1853, opening with the portentous words: The presence of a large and powerful American fleet in the Eastern Seas possesses an unexpected interest at the present moment Various reports by unnamed correspondents continued for the next eight years, until August 1861 when Charles Wirgmans first report with illustrations appeared. Described as Our Special Artist and Correspondent, Wirgman was to be the ILNs principal source for reporting on Japan for many years, and famously reported the attack on the British Legation in July 1861 and the British bombardment of Shimonoseki in 1864. After the mid-1870s Wirgmans input declined and the work of other artists and reporters appeared instead. The ILNs own obituary on Wirgman was published on 28 March 1891. By the late 1880s new photogravure printing technology was in place and the appearance of the paper changed significantly. Furthermore, the reporting from Japan diminished noticeably; indeed, there were a number of years in the period featured in this volume when not a single item on Japan appeared. But in the mid-1890s the ILN carried in-depth reporting on the Sino-Japanese War (1894-5), to the virtual exclusion of any other stories, and then reported nothing for the following two years. This volume concludes in 1899, the year of ratification of the ending of the Unequal Treaties between Japan and the Great Powers, which had major implications for Japan and its nascent empire; yet the ILN failed to make any reference to it. Instead, its one report for the final year of the nineteenth century was on the launch of the British-built battleship Asahi, which was to play a major role in the Imperial Japanese Navy during the forthcoming Russo-Japanese War (1904-5) a war which once again was to preoccupy the ILN pages. Thus, Japan and The Illustrated London News provides readers and researchers for the first time with a one-stop access point to the complete record of reported events relating to Japan in the critical half century following its opening to the West.

History: Russo- japanese War
Rethinking the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-5

Volume 1: Centennial Perspectives
Edited by Rotem Kowner, University of Haifa Despite the growing number of publications on the Russo-Japanese War, an abundance of questions and issues related to this topic remain unsolved, or call for a reexamination. This 30-chapter volume, the first in the two-volume project Rethinking the Russo-Japanese War, provides a comprehensive reexamination of the origins of the conflict, the various dimensions of the nineteen-month conflagration, the legacy of the war, and its place in the history of the twentieth century. Such an enterprise is not only timely but unique. It has benefited from a multinational team of thirty-two scholars from twelve nations representing a broad disciplinary background. The majority of them focus on topics never researched before and without exception provide a novel and critical view of the war. This reexamination is, of course, facilitated by a century-long perspective as well as an impressive assortment of primary and secondary sources, many of them unexplored and, in a number of cases, unavailable earlier.

Volume 2: The Nichinan Papers

Edited by John W. M. Chapman, University of Glasgow and Inaba Chiharu, meijo University, Nagoya This second volume in the two-volume series Rethinking the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-5, comprises nineteen chapters and is largely based on the papers presented at a special conference convened at Nichinan, Kyushu, Japan, in 2005. Importantly, it brings together a set of original essays by Japanese, Korean and Chinese scholars, together with analyses by Russian, US and European specialists, thereby reflecting the multinational mix of contemporary influences forming the international vortex of the war. The contributions are thematically structured into six topics: The Force of Personality, Facets of Neutrality, The Power of Intelligence, Interior Lines, Gender and Race, and Global Repercussions. Above all, through the use of primary sources which could not be readily accessed by contemporaries, the contributors have sought to highlight the setting of the conflict in the development of international politics and strategic thinking in the twentieth century, but at the same time eliciting fresh perspectives on the human experiences and dilemmas which impacted on different individuals and groups during the course of the war.

Through the use of research from newly opened Russian and little used Japanese sources the editors assert that the Russo-Japanese War was, in fact, World War zero, the first global conflict in the 20th century. The contributors demonstrate that the Russo-Japanese War, largely forgotten in the aftermath of World War One, actually was a precursor to the catastrophe that engulfed the world less than a decade after the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth. This study not only further reveals the weaknesses of Imperial Russia but also exhibits Japan as it entered its fateful 20th century.

History: Military
Sun Tzu and the Art of Medieval Japanese Warfare

Roald Knutsen
For the first time, this study examines in depth how the medieval Japanese masters of Heiho the Art of War sought to interpret, illustrate and transmit the principles of Chinas time-honoured military strategist Sun-Tzu during possibly the most turbulent period of Japanese history, the war-torn Muromachi period (c. 1350 1575). In these two centuries a number of gifted warriors, steeped in the teachings of Sun-Tzu and the Chinese Military Classics, developed their own concepts of the arts of warfare, expressed in personal combat, to heights of formidable effectiveness. Rather than consider the weaknesses and strengths of the medieval military command structures, the author focuses instead on certain basic strategies still to be found in the upper levels of these individual masters teachings, some of which have fortunately survived the five hundred or more years that have elapsed since these strategists passed away. Sun-Tzus lasting legacy was encapsulated in one simple statement: All warfare is based on deception. This volume, supported by a sixteen-page Plate Section, demonstrates how, and from where, some of these master swordsmen derived their unique understanding of these ancient teachings.

From Ally to Enemy

Anglo-Japanese Military Relations, 1900-45
Philip Towle, University of Cambridge
This study, closely researched by Philip Towle over the past thirty years, is principally concerned with the military relations between Britain and Japan during the first half of the twentieth century and the ambivalence, misunderstandings and misconceptions that informed their relationship, described by the author as an epic tragedy. Following the signing of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in 1902, Japan was held up as a model in Britain and Britain in Japan. But within a generation, the British came to see Japan as the first country to challenge the League of Nations and to begin a new age of imperialism. Conversely, the Japanese armed forces saw Britain as the greatest obstacle to Japanese ambitions in China and elsewhere. In 1936, Lieutenant Commander Tota Ishimarus book Japan Must Fight Britain was printed in Britain, its significance ignored at many levels, and five years later the two countries were at war. The feelings stirred up by that conflict, notes Towle, still have resonance today. From Ally to Enemy brings together a most important body of research that is long overdue in book form and will be widely welcomed by historians and researchers of the period, as well as those seeking more detailed analysis of specific aspects of the pre-war Anglo-Japanese military relationship.

The Japanese in War and Peace, 1942-48

Selected Documents from a Translators In-tray
Ian Nish, London School of Economics
The author was a member of the British Occupation Force in Japan as part of the Allied Occupation following the Asia-Pacific War. During the years he was there, 194648, he collected a number of documents which throw light on the attitudes of the Japanese people in the last two critical years of the war and the equally critical first two years of the peace. Following the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, never has a nation been forced to switch so abruptly from the extreme views of resistance in early 1945 to the need for accommodation with the occupying United States armies. These materials, some reproduced in facsimile, which include a miscellaneous assortment of personal documents, propaganda material, military memoranda and teaching aids, cover a wide spectrum of Japanese thinking. Since the writers are generally drawn from the lower rungs of society they provide an insight into the attitudes of citizens who are often neglected in accounts of the Allied Occupation thereby providing scholars, researchers and those with a general interest in Occupation history with a valuable new dimension to our understanding of this period and its impact on the Japanese nation.

Compiled & Edited by Hugh Cortazzi There is no doubt that this sixth volume in the Japan Societys highly regarded Britain and Japan series contains many long overdue essays of leading personalities with links to Britain and Japan that will be welcomed by the researcher and general reader alike from the opening essay on Churchill and Japan by Eiji Seki, to the concluding account by Rikki Kersten of the distinguished intellectual liberal Maruyama Masaos close relationship with Richard Storry and Oxford in particular and his interests in Britain in general. Containing a total of thirty-three entries, thoughtfully and painstakingly compiled and edited by Hugh Cortazzi, there may well be a case for arguing that the best has been kept until last. Indeed, by way of an Envoi the book concludes with an account of the Beatles visit to Tokyo in 1965, including a facsimile report for H.m.

Biography
Victorian Women Travellers in Meiji Japan

Discovering a New Land
Lorraine Sterry, La Trobe University
This volume complements other published works about travel by nineteenth-century women writers by locating and creating space for Japan which is missing within recent critical discourses on travel writing. It examines the narratives of women writers who travelled to Japan from the mid-1850s onwards, when Japan was first opened to the West, and became a highly desirable travel destination for decades thereafter. Many women travelled in this period, and although most left no record of their journeys, enough did to form a discrete body of literature spanning more than fifty years from the end of the feudal Tokugawa era to the rise of meiji Japan as a world power. Their narratives about Japan occupy a culturally significant place, not only in the genre of Victorian female travel writing, but in Victorian travel writing per se. The writers who are the subject of this book are divided into two groups: those who were travellers-by-intent, namely, Anna DA, Alice Frere, Annie Brassey, Isabella Bird and Marie Stopes, and those who travelled-by-default as the wives of diplomats, namely Mrs Pemberton Hodgson, Mrs Hugh Fraser and Baroness Albert dAnethan.

Biography: Historical, Political & Military
Bernhard Varenius (1622-1650)

Edited by Margret Schuchard Bernhard Varenius books influenced the history of science in such a way that Isaac Newton, Alexander von Humboldt and Tsar Peter the Great all referred to him. Varenius wrote the first comprehensive description of Japan (Descriptio regni Japoniae, 1649) from a European perspective, exclusively based on a diversity of sources. But the impact of his Geographia generalis (1650) explains his ranking among the founding fathers of geography as a science. He called general geography a branch of (applied) mathematics which does not deal with regional specifics. The contributions in this book focus on his multi-faceted work, the influence of his books and the tragically short life of this young polymath from Germany who benefited from the intellectually stimulating milieu of Leiden and Amsterdam.

Lafcadio Hearn in International Perspectives

Edited by Sukehiro Hirakawa, University of Tokyo The East-West controversy over the significance and relevance of Lafcadio Hearn as a writer, thinker and interpreter of Japan continues unabated. Not surprisingly, the centenary of his death in 2004 presented an occasion for renewed debate and discussion by both sides of the divide. This volume, edited by one of Hearns leading contemporary apologists, in which he is also a significant contributor, presents twenty-two diverse essays drawn from over seventy papers delivered at conferences held in four cities in Japan in 2004, as well as at other international conferences that took place earlier. The contributors are Joan Blythe, John Clubbe, Susan Fisher, Ted Goosen, George Hughes, Yoko Makino, Peter McIvor, Hitobe Nabae, Cody Poulton and Masaru Toda. Their contributions range from Sukehiro Hirakawas A Reappraisal to Joan Blythes Enduring Value of Lafcadio Hearns Tokyo Lectures.

Japanese Envoys in Britain, 1862-1964

Edited by Ian Nish Commissioned by the Japan Society as the companion volume to British Envoys in Japan, 1959-1972 (2004), this collection of essays on a century of official Japanese representation in the United Kingdom completes the history of bilateral diplomatic relations up to the mid-1960s, concluding with Ambassador Ohno Katsumis highly successful six-year assignment in 1964. In all, twelve authors, half of whom are Japanese , contribute to the work. In addition to the nineteen biographies, there are essays on the history of the Japanese Embassy buildings in London, an overview of Japanese envoys in Britain between 1862 and 1872 by Sir Hugh Cortazzi, as well as aspects of embassy life which illuminate some of the factors impacting on the life-style of residents in London in former times, including an entertaining personal memoir by Ayako Ishizaka of A Diplomats Daughter in the 1930s. By way of appendix, the volume concludes with a short history of the Japanese ministry of Foreign Affairs (Gaimusho) up to the present day.

Prince and Princess Chichibu

Two Lives Lived Above and Below the Clouds
Dorothy Bouchier
This volume offers invaluable new insights into the controversial lives and history of Prince and Princess Chichibu -two high-profile members of the Japanese imperial family, both before and after the Pacific War. Their lives were lived both above and below the clouds, with the princess a commoner in an arranged marriage and the popular sporting prince, dogged by ill health and his association with the Japanese Imperial Army. At the heart of the book is a complete translation of Princess Chichibus original autobiography, first published in a shorter, condensed version in 1996 under the title The Silver Drum, together with a short biography of Prince Chichibu supported by important new data on his role in the war years, thanks to recent access to new studies as well as the princes own writings. Also included for the first time is a translation of most of Princess Chichibus collection of poems which formed part of the original memoir.

The Thames and I

A Memoir of Two Years at Oxford
Crown Prince Naruhito
In 1993 Japans Crown Prince Naruhito published a memoir about his life and experiences during his two years at Merton College, Oxford, in the mid-1980s, where he studied the history of transport on the River Thames, hence the title of his book. The original Japanese edition (Thames to tomo ni) was published by Gakushuin Kyoyoshinsho to mark the 125th anniversary of the founding of Gakushuin University, Tokyo, which is the Crown Princes own Alma Mater. Now in English translation by former British Ambassador to Japan, Sir Hugh Cortazzi, this sensitive, engaging and informative account of English university life, customs and mores as seen from the perspective of a young Japanese student, albeit Japans heir to the imperial throne is a most welcome contribution to cross-cultural studies in the broader context; it is also a rare record of a life lived by one who normally experiences life above the clouds as a member of the Japanese imperial family. It is twenty years since I left Oxford, notes the Crown Prince in his Preface, but I recall fondly the days I spent there [1983-85] as if they took place yesterday. What I learned and experienced whilst I was studying in England during those brief two years have been of great benefit to me.

Pizza and Pizza Chefs in Japan: A Case of Culinary Globalization

Rossella Ceccarini
Scholars have extensively studied the entry of restaurant chains such as McDonalds into Asia and their reception, while attention has also been paid to ethnic restaurants as agents of cultural globalization. But what about the globalization of artisanal foods led by professional workers themselves? This book looks at artisanal pizza in Japan as a cultural object globalized and domesticated through the agency of the food producer, and shows that not only the food, but also the craftsperson, is going global. The volume analyzes the reception of pizza in Japan, the transnational flow of pizza chefs moving between Italy and Japan, and the impact that the food and the workers movements have on the craft of pizza-making itself.

Cultural Commodities in Japanese Rural Revitalization

Tsugaru Nuri Lacquerware and Tsugaru Shamisen
Anthony S. Rausch
The fate of local places increasingly rests on their capability to capitalize on their highly specific local cultural resources. Cultural Commodities in Japanese Rural Revitalization: Tsugaru Nuri Lacquerware and Tsugaru Shamisen examines the dynamics of this reality for the Tsugaru District of the Aomori Prefecture, Japan, and its two dominant cultural commodities, a lacquerware and a musical performance. Organized on the basis of policy, production and consumption, the research points to historical trajectory and a combinative conceptualoperational space as the means of identifying cultural and economic potential for a cultural commodity. This analytical approach provides both for assessing the local consciousness and identifying informed policy and industry management for the commodity, making it possible to realize its potential in local revitaliszation.

The Ideologies of Japanese Tea

Subjectivity, Transience and National Identity
Tim Cross
This provoking new study of the Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu) examines the ideological foundation of its place in history and the broader context of Japanese cultural values where it has emerged as a so called quintessential component of the culture. It was in fact, Sen Soshitsu Xl, grandmaster of Urasenke, today the most globally prominent tea school, who argued in 1872 that tea should be viewed as the expression of the moral universe of the nation. A practising teamaster himself, the author argues, however, that tea was many other things: it was privilege, politics, power and the lever for passion and commitment in the theatre of war. Through a methodological framework rooted in current approaches, he demonstrates how the iconic images as supposedly timeless examples of Japanese tradition have been the subject of manipulation as ideological tools and speaks to presentations of cultural identity in Japanese society today.

The Power of Memory in Modern Japan

Edited by Sven Saaler, University of Tokyo, and Wolfgang Schwentker, Osaka University Due to their symbolic and iconographic meanings, expressions of collective memory constitute the mental topography of a society and make a powerful contribution to its cultural, political and social identity. In Japan, the subject of memory has prompted a huge response in recent years. Indeed, it has been and continues to be debated at many levels of Japans political, social, economic and cultural life. For the historian and social scientist the opportunity to access recorded memories is invariably welcomed as a valuable building block in research and a determinant in establishing balance and perspective. This volume brings together a selection of the most significant research on memory relating to modern Japan. Thematically structured (Politics and International Relations; memorials, museums, National Heroes; Popular and Intellectual Representations of memory; Realms of memory: Centre and Periphery) the subjects treated include the Nanjing massacre, comfort women, the fate of war monuments, the political use of national memory in post-war Japan and remembering the atomic bomb.

Japan in Decline
Fact or Fiction?
Edited by Purnendra Jain, University of Adelaide, and Brad Williams, City University of Hong Kong To what extent is Japan in decline? In recent years popular writings, media commentaries and analysts often take the view that the rise of Japan is long since over and that the worlds second largest economy is not just treading water but that society and the economy are failing, with potential catastrophic outcomes. But is this really the case? Could it be that once again Japan is being misread and misinterpreted? Are there not both obvious and less obvious signs of renewal and recovery? And how might the new DPJ-led government reform Japan? Based on papers given at a major international conference held at the University of Adelaide in November 2009, this thesis is examined here by a group of the worlds leading specialists in their fields, addressing many of the key issues facing Japan today, from the economy and environment, to education, social policy, politics, internationalization, diplomacy, security. This volume will have wide-ranging interdisciplinary relevance for students and specialists alike.

Economic Thought in Early Modern Japan

Edited by Bettina Gramlich-Oka and Gregory Smits This volume explores early-modern formations of economic thought and policy in a country widely regarded as having followed a unique, non-Western path to capitalism. In discussing such topics as money and the state, freedom and control, national interest ideology, shogunal politics and networks, case studies of the Saga Domain and Ryukyu Kingdom, Confucian banking, early meiji entrepreneurship, and relationships between macroeconomic fluctuations and policy, the essays here deepen and revise our understanding of early-modern Japan. They also enlarge and refine the analytical vocabulary for describing early-modern economic thought and policy, thereby raising issues of interest to scholars of world history and economic thought outside of Japan or East Asia.

Japanese Shipping and Shipbuilding in the Twentieth Century

The Writings of Peter N. Davies
The Writings of Peter N. Davies Britains foremost scholar of the international shipping industry, based at the Centre for Port and maritime History, University of Liverpool, here examines the growth and development of Japans modern shipping and shipbuilding industries across a wide range of topics, through the pre-war, Pacific War and post-war periods, to the transfer of shipping technology, the role of bulk carriers and world trade and the organization and structure of the Japanese merchant navy. Prompted originally by his research into the decline of the British industries in a global context, his focus inevitably turned to Japan which in the post-war years had replaced Britain as the worlds largest ship operators and ship owners and remains so today.

Salaryman Masculinity
Continuity and Change in Hegemonic Masculinity in Japan
Tomoko Hidaka
Here is an important volume offering new insights into the generational transformation of Japanese hegemonic masculinity. Drawing on thirty-nine life-histories of three generations of sararman (salaryman) each working, or having worked for large companies, this book is an in-depth study of Japanese salaryman masculinity, that is, the hegemonic masculinity in Japan. Through Japanese salarymens own accounts of themselves, the author investigates the construction of their masculinity throughout their lives; childhood, adolescence, young adult experiences, as well as work and family life. While changes are reflected in the participants narratives, little research has been done to link these changes in the performance of masculinity to the dramatic economic and social changes over the last century.

Mostow Uniquely covering literary, visual and performative expressions of culture, this volume aims to correlate the conjunctions of nation building, gender and representation in late 19th and early 20th century China and Japan. Focusing on gender formation, the chapters explore the changing constructs of masculinities and femininities in China and Japan from the early modern up to the 1930s. Chapters focus on the dynamism that links the remodeling of traditional arts and media to the political and cultural power relations between China, Japan, and the Western world. A true tribute to multidisciplinary studies.

Beyond Victors Justice? The Tokyo War Crimes Trial Revisited

Edited by: Yuki Tanaka, Tim McCormack and Gerry Simpson The aim of this new collection of essays is to engage in analysis beyond the familiar victors justice critiques. The editors have drawn on authors from across the world including Australia, Japan, China, France, Korea, New zealand and the United Kingdom with expertise in the fields of international humanitarian law, international criminal law, Japanese studies, modern Japanese history, and the use of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. The diverse backgrounds of the individual authors allow the editors to present essays which provide detailed and original analyses of the Tokyo Trial from legal, philosophical and historical perspectives. Several of the essays in the collection are based on the authors extensive archival research in Japan, Australia, the United States and New zealand, providing rich insights into Japanese societal attitudes towards the Trial, biological experimentation by the Japanese Army in China, as well as the trial of Korean prison guards and prosecutions for rape and sexual assault in the post-war period. Some of the essays deal with particular participants in the Trial, examining the role of individual judges, and the selection of defendants and the decision not to prosecute the Emperor. Other essays analyse the Trial from a legal perspective, and address its impact on concepts such as command responsibility, conspiracy and war crimes. The majority of the essays seek to identify and address some of the forgotten crimes in the Tokyo Trial. These include crimes committed in China and Korea (particularly the activities of the infamous Unit 731), crimes committed against comfort women, and crimes associated with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the conventional firebombing of other Japanese cities and the illicit drug trade in China. Finally, the collection includes a number of essays which consider the importance of studying the Tokyo Trial and its contemporary relevance. These issues include an examination of the way in which academics have written the Trial over the last 60 years, and an analysis of some of the lessons that can be drawn for international trials in the future.

Dokdo
Historical Appraisal and International Justice
Edited by Seokwoo Lee and Hee Eun Lee Dokdo: Historical Appraisal and International Justice concerns a highly contentious territorial dispute between Korea and Japan that threatens the security of Northeast Asia. Dokdo, the rocky islet in the East Sea (Sea of Japan), is currently disputed between Korea and Japan. The various issues surrounding Dokdo are complex and multilayered, and thus require an interdisciplinary approach. The determination of Dokdos ownership is, however, not the sole purpose of this book. Beyond the question of Dokdos ownership, this volume provides a broad framework for understanding the territorial disputes that bedevil the East Asian region. Readers will find balanced perspectives on this important issue in Northeast Asia utilizing international law, international relations, and history from highly qualified experts and scholars. V.

Human Rights Constitutionalism in Japan and Asia

The Writings of Lawrence W. Beer
Lawrence W. Beer, Lafayette College
Less noticed in the West than wars, terrorism and economic trends has been the historic development since World War II of constitutional government and law in Asia. Lawrence W. Beer has been a close observer of Asian linkages among law, politics, culture, and national security issues for over fifty years. His perspectives have been refined during long residence in Asia, especially Japan, by substantial friendly interactions with Asian legal scholars, judges and attorneys involved in the world of human rights constitutional law. This volume, which will be widely welcomed by students and researchers, brings together a selection of Beers many works previously published in diverse venue, but no longer easily accessible. The collection opens with a review of constitutionalism in Asia and the United States and concludes with a recent examination of Japans rejection of war: Japans Constitutional Discourse and Performance. By way of Afterword, the author offers an in-depth review of Globalization of Human Rights in the 21st Century.

Ultranationalism in German-Japanese Relations, 1930-1945

From Wenneker to Sasakawa
John W.M. Chapman, Glasgow University
This important new study focusing on the ultranationalist regimes in Germany and Japan during the 1930s and 1940s examines in biographical format the roles played by individuals significantly involved in the drive for global hegemony. Employing a considerable range of new source materials and eyewitness testimony on the German side, it highlights the roles of the Nazi Party enforcer and Gestapo representative in East Asia, Josef Albert meisinger, and of the officer commanding German naval forces in the Pacific region, Admiral Paul Werner Wenneker, agent Richard Sorge as whose relations with the Japanese Navy in the 1930s were observed and recalled by Engineer-Commander George C. Ross, the UK assistant naval attach in Japan. The reactions of the German aero-engineer, Willi Foerster, a client of the Soviet radio operator, Max Clausen, to both Meisinger and Wenneker in the 1940s are also documented. On the Japanese side, new evidence is employed which examines the influence of the right-wing business and political figure, Sasagawa Ryichi, on domestic events during the era of Tenn-fascism and its aftermath. Similarly, an analysis of the role of the head of wartime Japanese military intelligence in eastern Europe, General Onodera Makoto, based in Stockholm, indicates the extent of opposition within the Japanese army to factional groups wedded to Nazi ideology and strategy and the ongoing support in Japan for anti-Soviet and anti-communist policies in the post-war era.

Japanese-Mongolian Relations, 1873-1945

BRILL 2011
Faith, Race and Strategy

James Boyd, Murdoch University, Western Australia
This book offers the first in-depth examination of Japanese-mongolian relations from the late nineteenth century through to the middle of the twentieth century and in the process repositions Mongolia in Sino-Japanese and Russo-Japanese relations. Beginning in 1873, with the intrepid journey to Mongolia by a group of Buddhist monks from one of Kyotos largest orders, the relationship later included groups and individuals from across Japanese society, with representatives from the military, academia, business and the bureaucracy. Throughout the book, the interplay between these various groups is examined in depth, arguing that to restrict Japans relationship with Mongolia to merely the strategic and as an adjunct to Manchuria, as has been done in other works, neglects important facets of the relationship, including the cultural, religious and economic. It does not, however, ignore the strategic importance of Mongolia to the Japanese military. The author considers the cultural diplomacy of the Zenrin kykai, a Japanese quasi-governmental humanitarian organization whose activities in inner Mongolia in the 1930s and 1940s have been almost completely ignored in earlier studies and whose operations suggest that Japanese-Mongolian relations are quite distinct from other Asian peoples. Accordingly, the book makes a major contribution to our understanding of Japanese activities in a part of Asia that figured prominently in pre-war and wartime Japanese strategic and cultural thinking.

Japans Foreign Policy, 1945-2009

The Quest for a Proactive Policy
Kazuhiko Togo Written by a former diplomat who was deeply involved in major issues of postwar Japanese foreign policy, this revised, expanded and updated third edition of Japans Foreign Policy provides fascinating insider views on Japanese foreign policy from WWII to the present. A careful analysis can be found on, e.g., bilateral relations with the US, China, Korea, Southeast Asia, Russia, Europe and the Middle East as well as multilateral diplomacy. This revised edition explains how and why Japan is developing a more proactive foreign policy and pays special attention to vital policy issues which led to the formation of a new government in 2009. Its clear writing style makes it accessible to any reader who takes a keen interest in modern Japan. This book stands out amongst the crop of textbooks on Japanese foreign policy that have been available to date, because of its authoritative, insider voice. Here we not only learn what happened in postwar Japans foreign policy, but what the thinking was behind these decisions. This is an invaluable element that brings the reader inside the policy-making rooms of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself. In the process, Japans world view and its own self-image are concurrently revealed, in fascinating and unexpected ways. This book destroys stereotypes, and vastly improves the quality of our understanding of Japan as an international player. We are spoiled by the wisdom and experience of not just one, but three major forces in the shaping of Japans international existence: Mr Togos own formidable experience, plus the seminal contributions of his father and grandfather, who was instrumental in the closing phases of World War II. All of this makes this book indispensable to those who wish to truly understand Japan in her own terms, and through her own eyes. RIKKI KERSTEN, Professor of modern Japanese Political Studies at Australian National University Ambassador Togos distinctive account of Japanese foreign policy highlights the impact of the vacuum left by the humiliation of defeat in 1945. It bears witness to the intellectual and diplomatic challenge of finding answers to unresolved issues, including managing the U.S. alliance and enhancing cooperation in Asia. Updated to cover the results of the 2009 victory of the Democratic Party of Japan, this book shows how its change of course fits into a long-term narrative. In contrast to more impersonal, often unsympathetic analysis of Western authors and the self-serving writing of many Japanese, Togo offers a guide to Japans quest, not a defense of its choices. The result is a wide-ranging look at foreign policy over more than 60 years seen from the perspective of an insider attentive to a proud nations search for its bearings.

Recentring Asia
Histories, Encounters, Identities
Edited by Jacob Edmond, Henry Johnson and Jacqueline Leckie June 2011 ISBN 978 19 06 87625 8 Hardback (approx. 350 pp.) List price EUR 80.- /US$ 114. Imprint: Global Oriental These essays argue that recentring Asia necessitates a revision not only of notions of Asia but also of the centre itself. On the one hand, recentring Asia asserts the centrality of Asia, especially overlooked Asian histories, encounters and identities, to world history, culture and geopolitics. On the other hand, the concept of recentring provides a way to address and rethink the concept of the centre, a term critical to Asian Studies, area studies and, more broadly, to the study of globalization, postcolonialism, diaspora, modernism and modernity. Drawing on new approaches in these fields, Recentring Asia forces the reader to rethink the centre not as a single site towards which all is oriented, but as a zone of encounter, exchange and contestation.
History Education and International Relations

A Case Study of Diplomatic Disputes over Japanese Textbooks
Mutsumi Hirano, London School of Economics & Political Science
This is the first in-depth study to examine the implications of history education in the context of international relations (interstate and transnational), focusing on Japanese textbooks as the principal case study. The author argues that despite a widespread recognition that our grasp of history has some relevance to our views and attitudes towards foreign countries and peoples, ergo ultimately its impact on national policy, there appears to be little coherent discussion of such a significant topic and its practical applications in the field of International Relations. This study, therefore, develops a conceptual framework and directs attention to the factors which predetermine the perceptions and attitudes of the public and policy-makers and in doing so searches for the roots of their world view. The book addresses the following issues: Government Influence on the Domestic Educational Environment; The Domestic Environment and its Interaction with the External Environment; History Education in Practice: A case of Japan; The Japanese History Textbook Disputes in the Asian Context (Parts I and II); Twenty-five Years On The Task of Coming to Terms with the Past.

manysh (Book 5)
A New Translation Containing the Original Text, Kana Transliteration, Romanization, Glossing and Commentary
Alexander Vovin, University of Hawaii at Manoa
This is the second volume to be published in the 20-volume set. It includes 114 poems (104 tanka, ten choka), traditionally considered to be the zoka genre, although some of them can be classified as benka, since they deal with death and sorrow. It also contains two poems in Chinese. The volume has several long introductions (all written in Chinese) to the poems that follow. All the poems in this volume were composed between AD 724 and 733, which represents a much greater homogeneity in comparison to books one to four. Most of the poems were written by Yamanoue-no Okura (AD660-733), one of the greatest Manysh poets, who was possibly a Korean from Kudara (Paekche), or at least a descendant of Kudara immigrants to Japan. The spelling system in this volume is predominantly phonographic, with only a few exceptions. In addition, the spelling system appears to reflect Early Western Old Japanese, as demonstrated by Bentley (1997, 2002). The same can be said about its overall grammatical features.

manysh (Book 15)

A New Translation Containing the Original Text, Kana Transliteration, Romanization, Glossing and Commentary
Alexander Vovin, University of Hawaii at Manoa
This new translation, the lifework of the author, is fully academically oriented. Given that it is the largest Japanese poetic anthology and thus the most important compendium of Japanese culture of the Asuka period (AD 592710) and most of the Nara period (AD 710784), it is very much more than a work of literature, which has been the single focus of previous translations by Pierson and Suga.Thus, in this translation the author has sought to present the Manyoshu to the reader preserving as far as possible the flavour, sounds and semantics of the original poems. The result is a more literate but true translation. In addition, because the realia of the Manyoshu are mostly alien to both Westerners and modern Japanese, the text contains appropriate commentaries that illuminate the context. Also unique to this new version is the appearance of the original text, kana transliterations, romanization and glossing with morphemic analysis for the benefit of specialists and students of Old Japanese. The entire translation will consist of 20 volumes, paralleling the original twenty books. The first to be published is volume 15 (announced here) one of six books written mostly in phonographic script. The author argues that the importance of book 15 lies in the fact that it contains a large number of Western Old Japanese grammatical forms and constructions that are not attested in any other Western Old Japanese text, but are extremely important in understanding this language, thereby providing a valuable foundation for all the other Manyoshu texts, including those written in semantographic text. Volume 15 will be followed by publication of volumes 5 (Autumn 2009), 14 and 17 (2010), 18 and 20 (2011) also written largely in phonographic script. The publication sequence and anticipated dates of the remaining volumes will be announced at a future date.

The Idea of Writing

Play and Complexity
Edited by Alex de Voogt and Irving L. Finkel The Idea of Writing is an exploration of the versatility of writing systems. From ancient Egyptian, Cuneiform and Meroitic writing to Chinese, Maya and Maldivian script, the authors examine the problems and possibilities of polysemy, representing loanwords and the problems of adapting a writing system to another language. The playful and artistic use of writing, including a contribution on writing dance, further illustrates the intricacies of the systems. This collection of articles aims to highlight the complexity of writing systems rather than to provide a first introduction. The different academic traditions in which these writing systems have been studied use linguistic, socio-historical and philological approaches that give complementary insights into the complex phenomena.

By Sant Kyden. Translated by Carmen Blacker, University of Cambridge. With an Introduction by P. F. Kornicki Carmen Blackers spirited translation of Santo Kyodens Mukashi-banashi inazuma byooshi (from which the title The Straw Sandal is taken), considered by Aston to be his masterpiece, reveals a multi-layered and fascinating tale of revenge Japanese-style, thereby providing a classic example of this popular genre within Japanese literature. Aston makes the point that the plot of this late-eighteenth-century novel, developed over twenty chapters or episodes, is so complicated that it is impossible to give an adequate summary But he goes on to promise several murders, a harakiri and other suicides, terrific combats, hairbreadth escapes, strange meetings and surprising recognitions. In addition, there are scenes of witchcraft and enchantment with dreams, magic terrors and ghosts who rove by night. The Straw Sandal, which contains most of the original black and white woodblock prints together with textual notes added by the translator, will surely be widely welcomed both in the world of literature as well as that of Japanese Studies. 5 The Gratitude of the Smallpox Kami; 6 The Karmic Snake; 7 The Curse of the Poisonous Rats; 8 A Swift Horse on a Dark Night; 9 The Peril of the Wayside Temple; 10 The Vision of Fallen Leaves; 11 The Biwa with the Broken String; 12 The Drums of Hell; 13 The Turmoil at the Temple; 14 The Saviour from the Enemy House; 15 The Luck of the Solitary Goose; 16 The Strange Power of the Old master; 17 The Snowy Valley and the Bear that Got Away; 18 The Quarrel in the Pleasure Quarter; 19 The Lightning Sword; 20 The Reward of Virtue; APPENDIx: A Lost Fragment

Literature, Modernity, and the Practice of Resistance

Japanese and Taiwanese Fiction, 1960-1990
Margaret Hillenbrand
This book is a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary study which compares responses to modernity in the literary cultures of Japan and Taiwan, 1960-1990. Moving beyond the East-West framework that has traditionally dominated comparative enquiry, the volume sets out to explore contemporary East Asian literature on its own terms. As such, it belongs to the newly emerging area of inter-Asian cultural studies, but is the first full-length monograph to explore this field through the prism of literature. The book combines close readings of paradigmatic texts with in-depth analysis of the historical, social, and ideological contexts in which these works are situated, and explores the form and function of literary practice within the miracle societies of industrialized East Asia. A book that represents the first of its kind dealing with interregional relations in East Asian literature. Hillenbrand has made a major contribution to her field. DAVID DER-WEI WANG, Harvard University, Journal of Japanese Studies 34:2 (2008) Margaret Hillenbrand has given us here a very important book that indeed is path breaking in its comparison of Taiwan and Japanese literary practice. In allowing us to examine the works of each tradition in conjunction with those of the other, it offers insights unavailable to us when we are solely immersed in one of those traditions. Her mastery of the material is impressive and her conclusions are enriching. CHRISTOPHER LUPKE, Washington State University, Taiwan in Comparative Perspective, Vol. 2 (2008) Literature, Modernity, and the Practice of Resistance will likely become a benchmark in East Asian Studies for its rigor, breadth, and clarion call for an intraregional approach to East Asian literary studies. Hillenbrands in-depth explorations of the literary and political realms of Japan and Taiwan between 1960 and 1990 and her provacative state-of-the-field assessment, offers a promising alternative avenue of inquiry and clears more than enough discursive space for anyone willing to venture out from their national or ethnic literary trenches to explore the intraregional episteme.

Martial Arts
Tengu
The Shamanic and Esoteric Origins of the Japanese Martial Arts
Roald Knutsen
This is the first in-depth study in English to examine the warrior and shamanic characteristics and significance of tengu in the martial art culture (bugei) of Muromachi Japan (1336-1573). Prompting this life-long study by the author, widely known for his writings on the samurai tradition, was the early discovery that the tengu of this period the part-animal, part-human creatures were interacting with the deadly serious bugei masters teaching the arts of war. Here were beings who did not conform to the comic, goblin-like creatures of common folklore and were not the creations of the Buddhist priests intent on demonizing that which they did not understand and could not control. As this study shows, the part-hidden tengu of this period passed on and taught the clearest theory of tactics and strategy to bushi of the highest calibre, the absorption and mastery of which often decided if the warrior and his clan lived or were annihilated on the all too frequent killing grounds of the Muromachi age. Contents include, The Tengu, About Shamanism in the Present Context, Communing with the Gods, Origins, Cultic Symbols, Shamanism and the Japanese Context, The Transition from the Ancient to the Medieval Period, Tengu Weapons and Other Items, Dai-tengu and Sho-tengu in Iconography, Bugei Tengu Iconography.

Kita Ikki and the Making of Modern Japan

A Vision of Empire
Brij Tankha, University of Delhi
This important new study of Kita Ikki, one of Japans influential pre-war idealogues, focuses on the twin poles of nationalism and socialism that inform his three principal works, located always in the context of the dominance of Western imperialism at that time. The three works are The National Polity and Pure Socialism (Kokutairon oyobi junsei shakai shugi), in which he explores the nature of the modern Japanese state and its characteristics, The Unofficial History of the Chinese Revolution (Shina kakumei gaishi), written to correct what he perceived as Japans misguided policy towards China, and The Fundamental Principles for the Reorganization of Japan (Nihon kaizo hoan taiko), which was said to have influenced the young army officers of the Imperial Way Faction who attempted the 26 February 1936 coup to bring about direct imperial rule. The coup failed and Kita was executed the following year for his involvement as the so-called intellectual inspiration. The second half of the book contains the first complete English translation (by Brij Tankha) of The Fundamental Principles for the Reorganization of Japan, providing the reader with an opportunity to hear the voice of an early twentieth-century Japanese intellectual confronting the challenge of the Wests domination and its implications for Japan; in so doing Kita helped galvanize support for an agenda involving Japans own imperial mission and the pathway to a new Japan.
Psychology
Mental Health Challenges Facing Contemporary Japanese Society

The Lonely People
Yuko Kawanishi
This book addresses the profound question of mental malaise in its many forms in contemporary Japanese society, focusing on three main areas: work, family and youth. The purpose is to provide an analytical, critical account of the social psychological state of the Japanese today, as well as to present possible measures that could contribute to positive outcomes. Following the boom and bust years of the Japanese economy in the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese society was faced with the burden of rapid change and adjustment resulting in a significant increase in psychological and personality disorders at a level unknown in the past. These include karo-jisatsu (suicide by overwork), sekkusu-resu (sexless marriage), kateinairikon (in house divorce) and hikikomori (complete social withdrawal). This study will be widely welcomed by sociologists, psychologists and mental health professionals interested in the interconnectedness of culture and social structure, personality and psychopathology, and the historical development of these issues. It also offers valuable insight into questions relating to cross-cultural understanding. TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE 1. Introduction; 2. mental Health at Work; 3. The Japanese Family Today; 4.

The Jesuit Mission to New France

A New Interpretation in the Light of the Earlier Jesuit Experience in Japan
Takao Ab
A new interpretation of the Jesuit mission to New France is here proposed by using, for comparison and contrast, the earlier Jesuit experience in Japan. In order to present revisionist perspectives of the Jesuit missions based on a broader international framework beyond North America, the existing historical paradigms of the Jesuit missionary activity to Amerindians based on the limited regional history of New France are re-examined. The time period of analysis covers one entire century, from the mid-sixteenth century to the mid-seventeenth century. The Jesuit evangelists used in this analysis include European, mainly Iberian and French, missionaries. The non-European converts dealt with in this discussion are Japanese and Amerindian peoples. The aspects considered for revisions encompass the interpretations of foreign cultures, the basic evangelistic approach of preaching, winning converts and educating them, organising Christian communities and the non-European practice of the religion. The Christian mission in Japan has proved to be a useful tool for these purposes. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION: Iberian and French Jesuits from an International Perspective I.

Religion: Buddhism
Esoteric Buddhism and the Tantras in East Asia

Edited by Charles D. Orzech (General Editor), Henrik H. Srensen, Richard K. Payne In all likelihood, it was the form of Buddhism labeled Esoteric Buddhism that had the greatest geographical spread of any form of Buddhism. It left its imprint not only on its native India, but far beyond, on Southeast Asia, Central Asia, including Tibet and Mongolia, as well as the East Asian countries China, Korea and Japan. Not only has Esoteric Buddhism contributed substantially to the development of Buddhism in many cultures, but it also facilitated the transmission of religious art and material culture, science and technology. This volume, the result of an international collaboration of forty scholars, provides a comprehensive resource on Esoteric Buddhism and the Tantras in their Chinese, Korean, and Japanese contexts from the first few centuries of the common era right up to the present.

The Social Dimension of Shin Buddhism

Edited by Ugo Dess Shin Buddhism (Jdo Shinsh), although weakened in many ways by secularization, continues to be a stable presence in Japanese society, as is emblematically shown by the very symmetrical position of the Nishi (Honganji-ha) and the Higashi Honganji (tani-ha) head temples in the center of Kyto, and by the recent projects for their renovation. This book addresses the need for more academic research on Shin Buddhism, and is specifically directed at describing and analyzing distinctive social aspects of this religious tradition in historical and contemporary perspective. The contributions collected here cover a wide range of issues, including the intersection between Shin Buddhism and fields as diverse as politics, education, social movements, economy, culture and the media, social ethics, gender, and globalization.

Pure Land Buddhism in Modern Japanese Culture

Elisabetta Porcu
Despite being one of the most influential forms of Japanese Buddhism, the Pure Land tradition, and notably its impact on the development of Japanese cultural history, has often been overlooked outside Japan. Taking into account recent scholarship on orientalism and occidentalism, this book, written from the perspective of the Study of Religions, provides an analysis of the impact that the Pure Land tradition, in particular Shin Buddhism, has exerted on mainstream forms of artistic expression (especially creative arts, literature and the tea ceremony) in modern and contemporary Japan. Porcus ground-breaking study is an indispensable resource for rebalancing Western perceptions of contemporary Japanese religion.

Religion: Buddhism
Japanese Rinzai zen Buddhism

Myshinji, a living religion
Jrn Borup
zen Buddhist ideas and practices in many ways are unique within the study of religion, and artists, poets and Buddhists practitioners worldwide have found inspiration from this tradition. Until recent years, representations of zen Buddhism have focussed almost entirely on philosophical, historical or spiritual aspects. This book investigates the contemporary living reality of the largest Japanese Rinzai zen Buddhist group, myshinji. Drawing on textual studies and ethnographic fieldwork, Jrn Borup analyses how its practitioners use and understand their religion, how they practice their religiosity and how different kinds of zen Buddhists (monks, nuns, priest, lay people) interact and define themselves within the religious organization. Japanese Rinzai zen Buddhism portrays a living zen Buddhism being both uniquely interesting and interestingly typical for common Buddhist and Japanese religiosity. The strengths of Borups study is that it offers a clear and detailed presentation of the monastic system and practices including education, rituals, festivals, and ordination that constitute the center of Rinzai Zen religious life.

From Taoism to Einstein

Ki and Ri in Chinese and Japanese Thought. A Survey
Olof Lidin, University of Copenhagen
Ki emerged first and is the thread that runs through the millennia of Chinese philosophy. Ri was added later in Sung times and, together, Ki and ri became the mainstay and core of Chinese beliefs in Sun (960-1279), Ming (1279-1644) and Ching (1644-1911) times. In this remarkable and inspirational study, researched over many years, the author takes the view that ki can profitably be compared with European philosophy. In China, the ki thread appears as an original primal ki (genki), which is the source of all things and affairs. The search is for the whole. In Greece, and later in Europe, the thinking goes in the opposite direction: it searches for the exact truth in the independent units of the cosmos, the atoms, the truth being found in the part. The study has three separate but interrelated parts. Part I delineates the ki and ri philosophy as it developed in China; Part II presents Confucian study and learning in Tokugawa Japan (1600-1868); Part III finishes with conclusions about things East and West and the situation in todays world. From Taoism to Einstein will have wide appeal to students of Eastern religion and philosophy, as well as students of East Asian history and political science, and Chinese and Japanese studies in general.

This book is a study of the use of monkeys as a tourist attraction in Japan. Monkey parks are popular visitor attractions that display free-ranging troops of Japanese macaques to the paying public. The parks work by manipulating the movements of the monkey troop through the regular provision of food handouts at a fixed site where the monkeys can be easily viewed. This system of management leads to a variety of problems, including proliferating monkey numbers, park-edge crop-raiding, and the sedentarization of the troop. In addition to falling visitor numbers, these problems have led to the closure or fencing in of many parks, calling into question the future of the monkey park as an institution.

Unlike previous studies which have focused on isolated issues, especially Second World War events, this volume examines in depth a variety of memorialization subjects, including music and poetry, artefacts and tools, oral testimonies and written documents, stones and performances, rivers and earthquakes, ritual and ceremonies as well as art and artists. In addition to valuable insights into the social and cultural life of the Japanese, its contextualized analysis and rich narrative provide a basis for the comparative study of collective memory-making.

Rediscovering Rikyu and the Beginnings of the Japanese Tea Ceremony

Herbert Plutschow, University of California
For the first time, Rikyus tea is considered as a profoundly important political as well as a socio-religious ritual in response to the dramatic changes taking place in the country at large: the hundred-year civil war (Sengoku) period was finally coming to an end and the process of political unification under the strong military leadership of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi had begun. An important focus in the book is the authors research into why Rikyus tragic suicide, enforced by Hideyoshi, was a necessary outcome of the emerging conflict between ritual, art and politics. In addition, the study highlights the tensions and struggles between individual artists who were led by a sense of artistic identity and inspiration, together with the political leaders who imposed their artistic taste on the nation. Plutschow also provides new insights into the sixteenth-century Japanese perception of beauty commonly called wabi a simple, often austere beauty displayed in tea in order to unite host and guests as equals. This book will be of considerable interest in research connected with politics, zen Buddhism and art history as well as the central issues regarding the history and development of tea in Japan.
