New Times in Modern Japan by Stefan Tanaka
Concerns the transformation of time - the reckoning of time - during Japan's Meiji period, specifically from around 1870 to 1900. This examines topics ranging from geology, ghosts, childhood, art history, and architecture to nature. It also explores how changing conceptions of time destabilized inherited knowledge and practices.
Scholars with an interest in the onset and consequences of modernity in Japan will find much in this important new work by Stefan Tanaka to stimulate and challenge them-- Daniel Botsman Journal of Asian Studies
