Summary
Takamure Itsue, an anarchist, poet, first womens historian, fanatic nationalist and maternalist feminist, is a controversial figure. This is a challenging and considerate re-examination to allocate her work and life with a new light in the historical context of Japanese feminism. Chizuko Ueno, University of Tokyo, Japan This book explores Takamure Itsues (18941964) intellectual odyssey as Japans most notable pioneer in the study of womens history. When she embarked on a series of scholarly projects that investigated marriage patterns and kinship systems in ancient Japan, it was a response to crisis-ridden modernity. Relentless in her quest to dismantle patriarchy, this woman from the Land of Fire (a nickname for her birthplace, Kumamoto Prefecture) locked herself away in 1931 and spent the rest of her life conducting research on female-friendly societies with matrilocal arrangements under kinship-based communal systems. While dissecting the patriarchal norms undergirding the capitalist nation-state, she embraced matricultural paradigms that embodied life-sustaining and life-enhancing values through communal childrearing and matrilineal inheritance. Takamure, a visionary thinker, asked big-picture questions and addressed multifarious issues of contemporary relevance, including beauty standards, human trafficking, gross disparities in wealth, war and imperialism, science and religion, and humanitys relationship with nature. Yasuko Sato is Associate Professor of History at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, where she teaches East Asian history, along with world/US survey courses. Her area of specialization is Japanese intellectual history in global contexts, with primary attention to the rediscovery and revival of classical antiquity in the modern world.
