Description

Discover authentic voices from ordinary Japanese citizens during the imperial era through provincial newspapers and local records. This groundbreaking study challenges the stereotype of Japan as a purely militaristic society by revealing the genuine experiences, opinions and emotions of men, women and children living through decades of war and peace. Stewart Lone uses primary sources to expose how the Western perception of a uniquely disciplined, regimented nation was largely illusory, and how this misunderstanding contributed to the outbreak of the Pacific War from 1941-5. Part of the Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Asia series, this book provides essential historical perspective on how ordinary provincial Japanese citizens actually lived and thought, offering a corrective to long-held misconceptions about imperial Japan.
