Description

This landmark study examines the contemporary boom in Japanese media representations of the nation's recent past, exploring why filmmakers, animators, manga artists, and television producers have created an unprecedented wave of nostalgic works. Hidaka provides a comprehensive account of a previously under-researched phenomenon centred on Japan's economic golden age during the Sh wa period, particularly the 1960s and 1970s. The book analyses how these diverse media forms collectively express a deep cultural longing for that era of high economic growth, offering critical insights into what these representations reveal about modern Japanese society, collective memory, and contemporary artistic production. Part of the Routledge Contemporary Japan Series, this work is essential for scholars and students of Japanese cinema, animation, manga, television studies, and contemporary Japanese culture seeking to understand the cultural significance of this nostalgic turn in media.
