However intense, varied, and enriching the reception of Japanese culture in France has been since 1945, it still seems to be confronted with dead ends or counteractions, the least of which we can say have gone back a long way and also involve other countries besides France and Japan. To reflect on them can also help to consider Europe's relationship to the ‘other’ and even, I think, with certain adjustments include the United States. How can we avoid the binarism and dichotomy which today still result in the constant reference to Japanese culture as both radically different and yet always the same due to the unchanged arsenal of clichés? Such a project involves forging a critical discourse located not from one country or culture to another but a discourse between countries. It is in this context that a number of writers—I call them the Coral Writers—delineate new forms of creativity, belonging, and identity as well as the image of another Japan that is plural, anarchic; new forms of creativity that can be thought of more in terms of reciprocity and hybridization, in other words, of cultural and identity interactions that reveal the extraordinary archaism of references to an original purity
