Japanese Primary Sources Relating to World War ii
This article introduces readers to World War ii -era Japanese primary sources that have become available, over the last three decades, at the major archives and libraries. It also illustrates how and why some of these hitherto unavailable archival materials have become publicly accessible. At first, political, diplomatic and military historians primarily conducted their research at Diplomatic Archives, Military Archives, and the Modern Japanese P…
Emperor Hirohito’s Post-Surrender Reflections
This essay introduces readers to the recent discovery of the personal papers of Grand Steward Tajima Michiji. These documents capture the post-surrender reflections of Hirohito, Japan’s Shōwa Emperor, and record him speaking on such issues as his war responsibility, as well as the culpability of prewar politicians such as Konoe Fumimaro and General Tōjō Hideki. In August 2019, Nippon Hoso Kyokai (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) ( nhk ) announced …

Defamiliarizing Japan’s Asia-Pacific War
This wide-ranging collection seeks to reassess conventional understanding of Japan’s Asia-Pacific War by defamiliarizing and expanding the rhetorical narrative. Its nine chapters, diverse in theme and method, are united in their goal to recover a measured historicity about the conflict by either introducing new areas of knowledge or reinterpreting existing ones. Collectively, they cast doubt on the war as familiar and recognizable, compelling rea…
The Shōwa Political Crisis, July 1940
This article examines a criminally understudied moment in modern Japanese military and political history. It is well known that the Imperial Japanese Army, in July 1940, toppled the cabinet of Prime Minister Yonai Mitsumasa. Yet, the damage thereby inflicted on the army’s relationship with the emperor remains virtually unnoticed. So, too, are the army’s subsequent efforts at repairing its relationship with its emperor. By exploring these issues, …

Hirohito and General Douglas MacArthur
This analysis allows readers to confront for themselves the 27 September 1945 meeting between the Shōwa Emperor and General Douglas MacArthur, as recently documented by Japan’s Imperial Household Agency. It also introduces readers to a long-standing debate amongst Japanese scholars that has received no attention in English-language literature. The debate centres on the question as to whether the emperor offered at this meeting to take responsibil…
The Cambridge History of the Second World War
War is often described as an extension of politics by violent means. With contributions from twenty-eight eminent historians, Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of the Second World War examines the relationship between ideology and politics in the war's origins, dynamics and consequences. Part I examines the ideologies of the combatants and shows how the war can be understood as a struggle of words, ideas and values with the rival powers expressin…
Is My Rival's Rival a Friend? Popular Third-Party Perceptions of Territorial Disputes in East Asia
This article examines how China's rise and increasing tensions with Japan are portrayed by South Korean bloggers. The deterioration in relations between China and Japan over the last two years generally projects onto the ways and means by which China's rise is portrayed in South Korea. Since Korea's relations with both its more populous neighbours have been historically fraught, and since it is also implicated in various territorial disputes with…
A Completely Star Performance
The Australian government in January 1940 appointed Richard Gardiner Casey minister to the United States. He sought both U.S. support for Britain in its war against Nazi Germany, and a U.S. guarantee to preserve Australian security in the face of an aggressive and threatening Japan. When Casey’s mission ended in March 1942, the United States had entered war in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. The limits to Casey’s ministerial influence were suc…
J. Charles Schencking, The Great Kantō Earthquake and the Chimera of National Reconstruction in Japan
This book seeks to reconfigure the scholarly landscape by giving sustained attention to an event which had hitherto received little more than historians’ passing mention. It aims, in short, to rest
Documentary Discovery
This essay reproduces in its entirety a translated version of a hitherto neglected document from 1941, entitled “Armed Services’ and Foreign Ministry’s Revised Draft, April 21.” The revisions pertain to the so-called “Draft Understanding between Japan and the United States,” a plan for peace in the Pacific which Ambassador Nomura Kichisaburō submitted to U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull on 14 April, and then to Japanese Prime Minister Konoe F…

A Bolt from the Blue? New Evidence on the Japanese Navy and the Draft Understanding Between Japan and the United States, April 1941
This article reproduces in its entirety a recently discovered document pertaining to the Draft Understanding between Japan and the United States that establishes the existence of hitherto unknown communication between the Imperial Japanese Navy and Ambassador Nomura Kichisaburō. It challenges the long-standing historical consensus that Nomura worked independently of Tokyo in preparing the Draft Understanding. It reassesses Nomura's role in the co…
New Evidence from Japan
This brief essay might properly be divided into two parts: a newly-discovered document translated and reproduced in its entirety, as well as a brief historical sketch to introduce readers to the document. Authored by Admiral Nomura Kichisaburō in October 1949, the document is of interest for various reasons. First, it sheds light on the perceptions driving one of the central participants in Japan's postwar maritime rearmament process. That alone …
Revisiting Nomura's Diplomacy
Neither his contemporaries nor majority historical opinion have looked favorably upon admiral of the Imperial Japanese navy Nomura Kichisaburô's eleventh-hour efforts, as ambassador to the United States in 1941, to avert the Japanese-American war.1 In his final meeting with United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull on 8 December 1941, some forty minutes after Japanese carrier-based torpedo bombers had laid waste the American naval base at Pea…
