Description
This scholarly work examines the transformative role of television in shaping postwar Japanese society and culture between 1953 and 1973. The book traces how the television industry rapidly reconstructed Japanese popular culture whilst fundamentally altering the nation's social and political landscape during the era of high-speed economic growth. Through analysis of public discourse and audience reception, the author reveals how television became central to the formation of postwar Japanese identity. The work captures a pivotal moment when Japanese citizens from all walks of life-politicians, mothers, and ordinary people-grappled with television's unprecedented influence on society. This comprehensive social history demonstrates how a single medium reshaped national consciousness and cultural values during one of Japan's most dynamic periods.
