Description

Explore the deep connection between physical practice and national identity in this scholarly work from Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia. This book examines the historical significance of the Greater Japan Martial Virtue Association (Dainippon Butokukai) and its impact on Japanese society. Starting with the first annual Martial Virtue Festival (butokusai) held in Kyoto in 1895, the text tracks how the definition and promotion of martial arts became a tool for shaping the Japanese nation. It looks at how the bodies of millions of citizens were used to experience and define the state during the late Meiji period. This academic resource provides a detailed look at how martial arts functioned as a medium for state-building. It is an essential read for those studying the social and cultural history of modern Asia and the ways physical discipline helped construct a new iteration of modern Japan.
