Description

Explore a new perspective on Japanese history and social science with The Culture of Copying in Japan: Critical and Historical Perspectives. Part of the Japan Anthropology Workshop Series, this Routledge publication moves beyond common stereotypes that label Japan as a mere copying culture. Instead, it provides a deep look into how the nation interacts with global influences. Through various ethnographic and historical case studies, the text examines the fascination the West holds regarding Japan's ability to assimilate foreign elements. It also addresses the underlying fears regarding the skill used to remake and automate the world. Rather than accepting simple ideas of devious or ingenuous imitation, this book explains the complex history of creative exchanges with the outside world. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in how myths and historical processes shape the understanding of Japanese identity and global interaction.
