This essay explores the violence and the threat of violence associated with pregnancy in Japanese fiction after the triple disasters—the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown—of March 11, 2011.

This cross-fertilization of images is crucial to understanding the intellectual terrain of post-war Japan because, in the late…
