Radicals and Realists in the Japanese Nonverbal Arts: The Avant-Garde Rejection of Modernism

Marathon Japan: Distance Racing and Civic Culture
Japanese have been fervid long-distance runners for many centuries. Beginning with the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, the Japanese government used athletics, especially the marathon, to continue its Meiji-era project of achieving parity with the world powers. During the 1920s and 1930s Japanese men regularly produced the fastest marathon times in the world, a source of government satisfaction, media hype, and national pride. Japanese men again dominate…

Professor Havens analyzes the efforts of Japanese antiwar organizations to portray the war as much more than a fire across the sea" and to create new forms of activism in a country where individuals have traditionally left public issues to the authorities. This path-breaking study examines not only the methods of the protesters but the tightrope dance performed by Japanese officials forced to balance outspoken antiwar sentiment with treaty obliga…

Comte, Mill, and the Thought of Nishi Amane in Meiji Japan
One aspect of the intellectual upheaval which accompanied the Meiji Restoration of 1868 was the phenomenon of bummei kaika, "civilization and enlightenment." Although it may be useful to think of the early Meiji years as a Japanese siècle de lumières, it is significant that the country's most progressive scholars derived their main inspiration from such contemporaneous Western social philosophies as positivism and utilitarianism, not the European…

Nishi Amane and Modern Japanese Thought
A nineteenth-century aristocrat, Nishi Amane (1829-1897) was one of the first Japanese to assert the supremacy of Western culture. He was sent by his government to Leiden to study the European social sciences; on his return to Japan shortly before the climactic Meiji Restoration of 1868 he introduced and adapted European utilitarianism and positivism to his country's intellectual world. To modernize, Nishi held, Japan must cast off the bonds of t…
