A History of Popular Culture in Japan provides the first historical and analytical overview of popular culture in Japan from its origins in the 17th century to the present day, using it to explore broader themes of conflict, power, identity and meaning in Japanese history. E. Taylor Atkins shows how Japan is one of the earliest sites for the development of mass-produced, market-oriented cultural products consumed by urban middle and working classes. The best-known traditional arts and culture of Japan--Noh theater, monochrome ink painting, court literature, poetry and indigenous music--inhabited a world distinct from that of urban commoners, who fashioned their own expressive forms and laid the groundwork for today's 'gross national cool.' Popular culture was pivotal in the rise of Japanese nationalism, imperialism, militarism, postwar democracy, and economic development. Eschewing a chronological narrative to instead offer historiographical and analytical frameworks for understanding its subject, A History of Popular Culture in Japan synthesizes the latest scholarship from a variety of disciplines. It is a vital resource for students of Japanese cultural history wishing to gain a deeper understanding of Japan's contributions to global cultural heritage, and a nuanced view of how popular culture provides a space for Japanese to understand themselves and their place in the world"--Provided by publisher. 000807859 520__ $$a"The first historical overview of popular culture in Japan from its origins in the 17th century to the present day, exploring themes of conflict, power, identity, and meaning in Japanese history"--Provided by publisher. 000807859 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$zJapan$$xHistory. 000807859 650_0 $$aPopular culture$$xPolitical aspects$$zJapan$$xHistory. 000807859 651_0 $$aJapan$$xCivilization. 000807859 651_0 $$aJapan$$xIntellectual life. 000807859 651_0 $$aJapan$$xSocial life and customs. 000807859 85200 $$bgen$$hDS821$$i.A755$$i2017 000807859 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:807859$$pGLOBAL_SET 000807859 980__ $$aBIB 000807859 980__ $$aBOOK
