Popular Literacy in Early Modern Japan
The focus of Richard Rubinger's study of Japanese literacy is the least-studied (yet overwhelming majority) of the premodern population: the rural farming class. In this book-length historical exploration of the topic, the first in any language, Rubinger dispels the misconception that there are few materials available for the study of popular literacy in Japan
The Search for Siebold's Daughter
The life of Philipp Franz von Siebold's daughter Ine, who became the first woman trained in Western medicine in Japan, came to wide popular attention in the 1970s with Yoshimura Akira's famous historical novel on the circumstances of her birth, training and subsequent career. As the child of mixed parentage, born near or perhaps even on Dejima, Ine's life symbolized the turmoil faced by Japan in its confrontation with the West in the nineteenth c…

Who Can't Read and Write? Illiteracy in Meiji Japan
A T the end of his long and fact-filled book on the Kennedy assassination, Norman Mailer finally asked, Did Oswald do it? If one's answer is to be anything more than an opinion, he added, is necessary to contend with the question of evidence. Realizing that this amounted to jungle of conflicting estimates, Mailer arrived at a disheartening truth: information, however specific, would never provide a satisfactory answer to the mystery, it is the na…

Tsuda Umeko and Women's Education in Japan
In this compelling biography, Barbara Rose tells the story of Tsuda Umeko, an American-educated Japanese woman who founded the first institution of higher education for women in Japan. Setting Tsuda's life and achievements in the context of the women's movements and the ideology of female domesticity in turn-of-the-century America and Japan, Rose shows how Tsuda's experiences illustrate the contradictions and ironies behind Japan's changing views…
