About This Book

"This volume is a multi-faceted study of the development of modernism in Japan, with authors from Japan, the United States, and Australia spanning the fields of art history, social history, and literature. Being Modern in Japan raises many issues about Japanese modernity and its contested meanings. Writers explore what it meant to be modern in Japan from the 1910s to the 1930s, but many subjects addressed are relevant to modernity elsewhere in Asia, Europe, and North America.".

"Being Modern in Japan will be a valuable teaching resource for students of Japanese society, and visual and material culture, and represents a significant contribution to the fields of Japanese studies and cross-cultural studies."--BOOK JACKET.
