Download or read book The Making of Modern Japan written by Marius B. Jansen and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 933 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magisterial in vision, sweeping in scope, this monumental work presents a seamless account of Japanese society during the modern era, from 1600 to the present. A distillation of more than fifty years’ engagement with Japan and its history, it is the crowning work of our leading interpreter of the modern Japanese experience. Since 1600 Japan has undergone three periods of wrenching social and institutional change, following the imposition of hegemonic order on feudal society by the Tokugawa shogun; the opening of Japan’s ports by Commodore Perry; and defeat in World War II. The Making of Modern Japan charts these changes: the social engineering begun with the founding of the shogunate in 1600, the emergence of village and castle towns with consumer populations, and the diffusion of samurai values in the culture. Marius Jansen covers the making of the modern state, the adaptation of Western models, growing international trade, the broadening opportunity in Japanese society with industrialization, and the postwar occupation reforms imposed by General MacArthur. Throughout, the book gives voice to the individuals and views that have shaped the actions and beliefs of the Japanese, with writers, artists, and thinkers, as well as political leaders given their due. The story this book tells, though marked by profound changes, is also one of remarkable consistency, in which continuities outweigh upheavals in the development of society, and successive waves of outside influence have only served to strengthen a sense of what is unique and native to Japanese experience. The Making of Modern Japan takes us to the core of this experience as it illuminates one of the contemporary world’s most compelling transformations.
Download or read book Japan in American Fiction 1880 1905 written by and published by Ganesha Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century Japan had a special fascination for Americans, primarily because they had opened the country to international commerce, but also because of the complexity of its society and excellence of its arts. Another source of fascination was the speed of Japan's modernization: Japan evolved from a vulnerable, newly-opened outpost to a colonial power in less than 50 years. This, the first set in the Japan in American Fiction series, contains nine of the most important works of this kind written between 1880 and 1905, to which a 1910 second novel by one of the authors (Babcock's Tama) is added for good measure. While most of these books fit loosely into the category of romance, seven of them are serious attempts by early residents to describe, explain, and even defend Japan and the Japanese to American readers. In the remaining three, professional writers of popular fiction (Long and Babcock) take up Japanese themes to entertain and win audiences. From a literary and cultural standpoint, the works selected have 'fixed' and continue to influence popular perceptions in the West of Japan as the land of samurai and geisha. The books also reflect the ambiguity of the American venture in Japan: while there was some desire to exploit the country, there were also moves to 'educate' its people in western ways and welcome them as new members to the family of modern nations - a role that appealed to the self-image held by the intruders. Indeed, when analyzed carefully, the works tell as much about Americans as they do about Japanese. These works present a range of perceptions and opinions. Some encourage Japanese to adopt American models while others warn such imitation will destroy the Japanese culture. Some call for the Japanese to convert to Christianity while others warn that missionary educators may ruin their students, or claim that Christianity has no role if it refuses to acknowledge the worth of Japanese culture. Historical romances alternate with love romances. Japanese women are shown as obedient love objects, as exploited or abused victims, and as loving wives and mothers who have valuable roles within the culture. Males are depicted as brave soldiers and statesmen on the one hand and corrupt tyrants and panderers on the other.

Book excerpt: His old widowed mother would not die happy unless he were rehabilitated, and to this end he knew that she and his faithful wife, O Yumi, prayed daily before the family shrine.How often had he racked his brains to find some way by which it were possible to prove his unchanging fidelity to Shusen; for the true big hearted fellow never resented his punishment, but staunchly believed that the ties which bound him to his lord were in no wise annulled by the separation.At last the long awaited opportunity had come. In obedience to the mandate of the Shogun Ieyasu that the territorial nobles should reside in his newly established capital of Yedo during six months of the year, the Daimio of Tokushima proceeded to Yedo accompanied by a large retinue of samurai, amongst whom were his chief retainers, the rivals Shusen Sakurai and Gunbei Onota.Like a faithful watchdog, alert and anxious, jurobei had followed Shusen at a distance, unwilling to let him out of his sight at this critical time, for Gunbei Onota was the sworn enemy of Shusen Sakurai. Bitter envy of his rival's popularity, and especially of his senior rank in the Daimio's service, had always rankled in the contemptible Gunbei's mind. For years he had planned to supplant him, and Jurobei knew through traitors that the honest vigilance of his master had recently thwarted Gunbei in some of his base schemes, and that the latter had vowed immediate vengeance.
