The famous ryosai-kenbo or 'good wife and wise mother' role of women was not, after all, a traditional Confucian view but a modern construct. In fact, its first appearance in Japan was in the latter half of the 19th century, due principally to the influence of European ideas about women.

Japan's catapult to world economic power has inspired many studies by social scientists, but few have looked at the 45 years of postwar Japan through the lens of history. The contributors to this book seek to offer such a view. As they examine three related themes of postwar history, the authors describe an ongoing historical process marked by unexpected changes, such as Japan's extraordinary economic growth, and unanticipated continuities, such as the endurance of conservative rule. A provocative set of interpretative essays by eminent scholars, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of twentieth-century Japan and the dilemmas facing Japan today.

Drawing on ethnographic data gathered from fieldwork spanning a 15-year period, this book offers new insights into understanding the lives and experiences of women managers in Japan. Based on empirical case studies, it explores the ways in which professional women in Tokyo creatively mobilize their friendships as a strategic site for mitigating the disappointments in their working lives, and conceptualizing new understandings of independence and equality. It analyses their use of language, time, space and money to negotiate new identities in an increasingly flexible work environment. In examining the challenges and opportunities faced by these corporate workers, this book also extends anthropological debates about the changing meaning and importance of work for women, as well as their relationship with money and separation from the realm of domesticity. As a study of women's lives in and out of the workplace in Japan, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese studies, Japanese culture and society, anthropology, sociology, gender and women's studies.

All nations construct stories of national belonging, stories of the nation’s character, its accomplishments, its defining traits, its historical trajectory. These stories, or discourses of national identity, carry powerful messages about gender and race, messages that reflect, reproduce and occasionally challenge social hierarchies. Gender, Race and National Identity examines links between gender, race and national identity in the US, UK, Australia and Japan. The book takes an innovative approach to national identity by analyzing a range of ephemeral and pop cultural texts, from Olympic opening ceremonies, to television advertisements, letters to the editor, broadsheet war coverage, travel brochures, museums and living history tourist venues. Its rich empirical detail and systematic cross-national comparisons allow for a fuller theorization of national identity.

The role of translation in the formation of modern Japanese identities has become one of the most exciting new fields of inquiry in Japanese studies. This book marks the first attempt to establish the contours of this new field, bringing together seminal works of Japanese scholarship and criticism with cutting-edge English-language scholarship. Collectively, the contributors to this book address two critical questions: 1) how does the conception of modern Japan as a culture of translation affect our understanding of Japanese modernity and its relation to the East/West divide? and 2) how does the example of a distinctly East Asian tradition of translation affect our understanding of translation itself? The chapter engage a wide array of disciplines, perspectives, and topics from politics to culture, the written language to visual culture, scientific discourse to children's literature and the Japanese conception of a national literature.Translation in Modern Japan will be of huge interest to a diverse readership in both Japanese studies and translation studies as well as students and scholars of the theory and practice of Japanese literary translation, traditional and modern Japanese history and culture, and Japanese women?s studies.

In this, the first collection in English of feminist-oriented research on Japanese art and visual culture, an international group of scholars examines representations of women in a wide range of visual work. The volume begins with Chino Kaori's now-classic essay "Gender in Japanese Art," which introduced feminist theory to Japanese art. This is followed by a closer look at a famous thirteenth-century battle scroll and the production of bijin (beautiful women) prints within the world of Edo-period advertising. A rare homoerotic picture-book is used to extrapolate the "grammar of desire" as represented in late seventeenth-century Edo. In the modern period, contributors consider the introduction to Meiji Japan of the Western nude and oil-painting and examine Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) and the role of one of its famous artists. The book then shifts its focus to an examination of paintings produced for the Japanese-sponsored annual salons held in colonial Korea. The postwar period comes under scrutiny in a study of the novel Woman in the Dunes and its film adaptation. The critical discourse that surrounded women artists of the late twentieth-century--the "Super Girls of Art"--is analyzed, followed by a consideration of gender ambiguity and cross-gender identification in contemporary anime and manga. Contributors: Grunhild Borggreen, Norman Bryson, Chino Kaori, Doris Croissant, Ikeda Shinobu, Kim Hye-shin, Chigusa Kimura-Steven, Joshua S. Mostow, Sharalyn Orbaugh, David Pollack.

本書對中國近代革命的分析框架作了根本性的修正。作者認為粉碎了經歷二千多年中國帝制政府模式及其哲學基礎的，不是以孫中山及其同伴為中心的1911 年政治革命，而是1901-1910 年以晚清政府新政為中心的思想和體制的革命。 通過分析大量中日文第一手資料以及引證相關研究著作，本書對1898至1912年間中日兩國在司法體制、軍事體制、教育體制、翻譯出版等方面深入的合作與交流作了細緻的考證和比較研究。 在這中日關係的“黃金十年”，日本各界積極地給中國提供直接且實質性的幫助，使中國可以快速打破傳統控制而向現代化邁進，其速度之快甚至一度超過日本明治維新的進程。結束帝制後的中國，也正是以新政革命及其成就作為基石才得以決定思想和體制的發展方針。檢視這段歷史將有助於重新認識近代中國的風雲變化。

Maiko Nishino, Nasjonalballettens tidligere prima ballerina, forteller for første gang hele sin historie. Dansen, hennes levebrød og drivkraft, har krevd rå styrke, fleksibilitet og følsomhet. I boka deler hun enkle øvelser med stor effekt - også for deg som ikke har danset før. "Jinsei" er en sterk og inspirerende fortelling om 13- åringen som dro alene fra Japan til Europa for å bli ballerina. Maiko kom til Nasjonalballetten i 1999, og var landets ubestridte prima ballerina frem til hun pensjonerte seg i 2021. På sin vei mot toppen møtte hun rasisme og trakassering, måtte takle blodslit og ensomhet. I dag er hennes høyeste ønske å vise at den styrken dans gir, er for alle - også for deg som aldri har prøvd før. Lær deg å kjenne kroppen din slik at du med rak rygg kan innta scenen i ditt eget liv.
