The Gender of Nationalism: Competing Masculinities in Meiji Japan
War, Occupation, and Creativity: Japan and East Asia, 1920-1960
This collection of essays, based on international collaboration by scholars in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States, is a systematic, interdisciplinary attempt to address the social, political, and spiritual significance of the modern arts both in Japan and its empire between 1920 and 1960.
