Translating Literature in an Advanced Japanese Language Classroom: Izu no odoriko
This paper argues that translation — especially of works of literature — allows advanced language learners to pursue their intellectual interests, challenge their linguistic knowledge, and explore possibilities for further language learning. Translating literature not only puts their knowledge and repertories to test but also exposes them to the joy of using language for creative activity. Working with classmates through discussion and peer revie…
Problems of J. Mark Ramseyer's “Contracting for Sex in the Pacific War”: On Japan's Licensed Prostitution Contract System
This article offers a critical assessment of J. Mark Ramseyer's analysis of the wartime Japanese military “comfort women” system, “Contracting for sex in the Pacific War,” Closely examining the Japanese sources that Ramseyer cites, it finds the article flawed in distorting the evidence and in confusing the prewar system of prostitution and the wartime system
Dissecting the Wave of Books on Nippon Kaigi, the Rightwing Mass Movement that Threatens Japan's Future
In 2018, a number of events in Japan and Europe have reassessed the legacy of the 1968 student movement and related phenomena. Generally speaking, "1968"-still considered a symbol of a critique of capitalism, imperialism, and the Cold War world order-is usually associated with left-wing forces.

In response to first lady Michelle Obama's evocative observation that her African-American daughters were growing up in a house built by slaves - a house, moreover, they loved - O'Reilly tried to neg…
Japan's Article 9 and Economic Justice: The Work of Shinagawa Masaji
On June 10, 2014, the Article 9 Association marks its tenth anniversary, more than ever embattled and determined.

Shinagawa Masaji…
Kawabata Yasunari'sHouse of the sleeping beauties, retold: The case of Kirino Natsuo'sSleep in water, dream in ashes
In Sleep in water, dream in ashes, mystery writer Kirino Natsuo crafts a reinterpretation of Kawabata Yasunari's House of the Sleeping Beauties that transforms the author's erotic fantasy into a gritty whodunit that also functions as a critique of the earlier novel. This article shows how Kawabata erects textual barriers in his 1961 novel to preserve a sense of timelessness, and how thirty-four years later Kirino breaks those barriers down, layin…
