A Tokyo Anthology
The city of Tokyo, renamed after the Meiji Restoration, developed an urban culture that was a dynamic integration of Edo's highly developed traditions and Meiji renovations, some of which reflected the influence of Western culture. This wide-ranging anthology-including fictional and dramatic works, essays, newspaper articles, political manifestos, and cartoons-tells the story of how the city's literature and arts grew out of an often chaotic and …

The “New Asianism”
“Is Japan really part of Asia?” The question has agitated Japanese intellectuals, politicians and pundits for more than a century. As the Japanese embarked on the road to modernity in the late nineteenth century they found that geography and culture no longer matched. A widening cultural gap with their neighbors on the continent raised the question of just where Japan belonged: with the countries immediately across the sea or with the more distan…
Presidential Address
I Approach my topic-the development of the modern Japanese political cartoon-with some trepidation. Humor is a fragile product that can easily be damaged by academic scrutiny. As Evelyn Waugh once remarked, analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog-much is learned but in the end the frog is dead. Waugh was right. Most analyses of humor cannot be read for amusement. On the other hand, why should they be? If Shakespeare scholars are not expected to…
The Japanese Discovery of America
Modern Japanese Thought
Over the past two centuries, Japan has undergone Westernization not only in the external realm of material culture and sociopolitical organization, but also in the inner realm of thought and morals. This comprehensive intellectual history, consisting of chapters from volumes five and six of the Cambridge History of Japan, plus a new introduction and chapter on postwar intellectual trends, describes the forces that made Japanese thinkers both rece…

Introduction / Japan's Wartime Empire
Japan was as critical to the dynamic of wartime expansion as what was going on within.There can be little doubt that the absence of any strong authority in China provided an opportunity-and an inducement-for the Kwantung Army to seize control of the three northeastern provinces in 1931-32 and encouraged further Japanese incursions into north China in the late 1930s.After the fall of the Ch'ing dynasty, a myriad of regional or local powers contest…

The Abacus and the Sword
The abacus and the sword
Duus analyzes Japan's acquisition of Korea, the largest and most populous of its colonial possessions, as the result of two separate but interlinked processes, one political/military and the other economic: every attempt at increasing Japanese political influence licensed new opportunities for trade, and every new push for Japanese economic interest buttressed, and sometimes justified, further political advances. The sword was the servant of the …
Economic Interdependency and U.S.-Japan Relations During the Inter-war Period
It is a commonplace that as an industrial economy grows it will develop an increasingly complex set of market relationships with the outside world, particularly with other industrial economies. Although the early Meiji leaders were apprehensive that Western imports, loans, and investment would have a negative impact on the domestic economy, their decision to embark on a crash program of industrial development left Japan unable to escape this inev…

Farm and Nation in Modern Japan
A study of agrarian thought in prewar Japan, this bonk concentrates on the developing fissure between official and rural conceptions of nationalism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Professor Havens analyzes the response of Japanese farmers and their spokesmen to the pursuit of modernization during the Meiji and Taisho periods. Through a critical examination of writings and speeches of major farm ideologues, including Gondo Se…

Unlikely Liberators
Whig History, Japanese Style
With these stirring lines Takekoshi Yosaburō opened the preface to the 1893 edition of his Shin Nihonshi {History of New Japan). It is difficult to imagine a more enthusiastic celebration of the Meiji Restoration than one likening it to the epochal founding of the Chou dynasty. Yet those who read beyond the confident affirmation of the preface soon encountered a rising note of anxiety, concern, even alarm in the pages that followed. For it was cl…
Nagai Ryūtarō and the “White Peril,” 1905–1944
It is often said that the nationalism of the 1930's was more “narrow,” more “parochial,” more “isolationist,” and more “pathological” than the nationalism of Meiji. In the earlier period, men like Fukuzawa Yukichi and Ōi Kentarō, who had ingested the liberalism of the late Victorian West, defined Japan's identity and role in the world in cosmopolitan, even revolutionary terms. By contrast, it is said, the nationalists of the 1930's were “frogs at…

Party Rivalry and Political Change in Taisho Japan
One of the most striking aspects of Japan's prewar constitutional development is the establishment of two-party politics during the early years of this century. Peter Duus presents a comprehensive analysis of this important but little-explored phase of Japanese political history. In contrast with previous accounts, Duus examines the tactical and policy objectives of the party politicians within the context of their own limited aims rather than in…
