Description

This Routledge book challenges Western stereotypes about Japan as a 'copying culture' by presenting detailed ethnographic and historical case studies that reframe how the nation engages with foreign ideas and innovation. The work addresses why the West simultaneously admires Japanese assimilation of global influences whilst fearing their capacity for technological advancement and artificial reproduction. Rather than perpetuating myths of Japan as a nation that deviously or ingeniously duplicates others, the book examines the genuine history of creative exchanges between Japan and the outside world, revealing the particular philosophies, myths and cultural concepts that underpin Japanese approaches to adaptation and innovation. Essential reading for anthropology students and scholars interested in Japan's cultural history.
