Description

This scholarly examination explores how the Greater Japan Martial Virtue Association shaped modern Japanese identity through martial arts during the late Meiji period. Beginning with the first Martial Virtue Festival in Kyoto in 1895, the book traces how the Butokukai's efforts to define and popularise Japanese martial arts became a crucial medium through which millions of Japanese citizens experienced and shaped their nation and state. The work provides deep insight into the relationship between physical practice, cultural nationalism, and state formation in late nineteenth-century Japan, revealing how martial arts practice connected individual bodies to broader political and social transformation during this pivotal era of Japanese modernisation.
