War Responsibility Revisited: Auschwitz in Japan
For more than five decades after the end of the World War II, Japan articulated an official identity as a pacifist, anti-nuclear nation both domestically and in the international arena (its formidable Self Defense Force notwithstanding). Since the end of the Cold War and the first Gulf War in the early 1990s, however, the debate over revising Japan's "Peace Constitution" intensified. In particular, Article 9 of the Constitution, by which Japan re…
Erotic Grotesque Nonsense: The Mass Culture of Japanese Modern Times
This history of Japanese mass culture during the decades preceding Pearl Harbor argues that the new gestures, relationship, and humor of ero-guro-nansensu (erotic grotesque nonsense) expressed a self-consciously modern ethos that challenged state ideology and expansionism.

Remembering Pearl Harbor, Forgetting Charlie Chaplin, and the Case of the Disappearing Western Woman: A Picture Story
Constructing a New Cultural History of Prewar Japan
In January 1925, the Osaka Asahi newspaper organized a spectacle. This gathering of close to one hundred children, whose names contained the Chinese ideogram Sho of the imperial, Taisho reign, is preserved in a photograph in the pictorial magazine Asahi Gurafu. The newspaper publisher was commemorating the new newspaper comic strip serial The Adventures of Shochan, and children wore knitted Shochan hats topped with pom-poms to that end. But more …

Tenko: Ideology and Societal Integration in Prewar Japan
Constructing the Japanese Ethnography of Modernity
One afternoon in tokyo in the summer of 1921, ten Waseda University students visited the home of Gonda Yasunosuke, the critic of Japanese popular culture.
