Mooring the Global Archive
Martin Dusinberre follows the Yamashiro-maru steamship across Asian and Pacific waters in an innovative history of Japan's engagement with the outside world in the late-nineteenth century. His compelling in-depth analysis reconstructs the lives of some of the thousands of male and female migrants who left Japan for work in Hawai'i, Southeast Asia and Australia. These stories bring together transpacific historiographies of settler colonialism, lab…

J. R. Seeley and Japan's Pacific Expansion
In the late nineteenth century, as Japanese scholars, traders, and labourers began to cross the Pacific Ocean in ever greater numbers, Tokyo-based intellectuals started to think about the significance of the ocean for the upcoming century. One prominent articulation of this ‘Pacific age’ was the result of an intellectual dialogue between a young Japanese student, Inagaki Manjirō (1861–1908), and his Cambridge professor, John Robert Seeley (1834–9…
The Changing Face of Labour between Hawai'i, Japan and colonial Taiwan
By the 1930s, the Hawaiian archipelago had become a touchstone for a Japan-centric history of transplanted peoples, meanings and memories across the northwestern Pacific world. This article sketches one aspect of this transpacific history through reconstructing for the first time the commission, composition and reception of an iconic painting from 1885. ‘Japanese laborers on Spreckelsville, Maui’, by Joseph D. Strong (1853–1899), frames one story…
Japan, Global History, and the Great Silence
A young Japanese woman called Usa Hashimoto disembarks on Thursday Island, Queensland, in September 1897. Two months later, she briefly recounts her story to a British colonial official. What does her testimony mean for the way we write global history? Who, indeed, are the ‘we’ in global history? This experimental essay, divided into ten parts, revisits the question of ‘silence’ in history in order to argue that structure, form and writing style …
Writing the on-board
This article uses the history of Japanese emigrants to Hawai‘i as a lens through which to examine Japan’s engagement with the outside world in the late nineteenth century. Focusing on a single journey from Yokohama to Honolulu in 1885, it reconstructs the transit of two migrant labourers as they entered an ‘in-between’ state – between regimes of labour, between freedom and coercion, and between local and national identities. These migrant experie…
Circulations of Labor, Bodies of Work. A Japanese Migrant in Meiji Hawai‘i
In the historiography of nineteenth-century Japan, the transformation from a “preindustrial” to an “industrial” labor force has consistently been viewed through the analytical lens of the nation-state. This essay offers an alternative perspective by following the early career of one laborer who moved from Japan to Hawai‘i in 1889. His story offers historians a chance to reframe “Japanese” labor history in its transition from agrarian to industria…
Empires on the Waterfront
The large entrance hall to Kobe Maritime Museum is dominated by a 1:8 scale model of a British man-of-war. The Rodney, we read, was one of a squadron of ships – including the Ocean, Basilisk, Rinal
J. Charles Schencking. The Great Kantō Earthquake and the Chimera of National Reconstruction in Japan
Of all the media generalizations made about Japan following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, perhaps the most dubious was the claim that the orderly response of people in the most devastated areas reflected an inherent stoicism in the Japanese national character. We need only consider the greatest natural disaster to hit Japan in the previous century—the Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1, 1923—to realize the perils of ascribing apparent…

Japan since 1945
The fifteen multidisciplinary essays that comprise this book examine the social, cultural, and political underpinnings of Japan’s postwar and post-industrial trajectories. Unique for their integration of gender, class and ethnicity within four thematic narrative frames, the essays of this volume explore topics that range from the last twenty years of the Japanese state’s efforts to formulate industrial policy and foster financial reform to the un…
Chiho kara no Sangyo Kakumei
For a time, in the early 2000s, there was much talk in Japan of the new ‘era of the regions’ (chihō no jidai). To those of us who actually lived in the regions during those years, the reality appeared somewhat different: local authorities were apparently being offered the dubious privilege of shouldering greater responsibilities to cope with reduced central subsidies and a shrinking tax base—a pattern of ‘regionalism’, or ‘pass-the-buck’, now bei…
Mr. Abe's Local Legacy and the Future of Nuclear Power in Japan
In the summer of 2007 I went to Hagi, northern Yamaguchi prefecture, to take part in a revolution. Well, not a revolution per se-but a revolutionary summer school

Martin Dusinberre's new book, Hard Times in the Hometown: A History of Community Survival in Modern Japan (Hawaii, 2012), focuses on Kaminoseki, a planned nuclear site in western Japan. Dusinberre weaves the stories of individual townspeople into the wider history of modern Japan from the nineteenth century to the present day. Here, he summarizes some of the key arguments of the book with regard to nuclear power, and updates the story from the mi…
Hatoko Comes Home
This article seeks to explain how, given Japan's "nuclear allergy" following World War II, a small coastal town not far from Hiroshima volunteered to host a nuclear power plant in the early 1980s. Where standard explanations of contentious nuclear power siting decisions have focused on the regional power utilities and the central government, this paper instead examines the importance of historical change and civil society at a local level. Using …
Unread relics of a transnational ‘hometown’ in rural western Japan
From the mid-1880s onwards, thousands of young workers left the south-western prefectures of Japan to seek new employment opportunities abroad – first to Hawai'i or the Korean peninsula, subsequently to the United States, Latin America and the colonies of the ever-expanding Japanese empire. While many scholars trace the journeys and new lives of the emigrants, this paper examines the communities that they left behind. It uses a case study of Kami…
