In their latest movies of Japanese adaptions, Spike Lee, Adam Wingard, and Rupert Sanders all display the femme fatale in the discourse of patriarchy and female empowerment. She is portrayed as a complex figure, entangled in power, desire, femininity, self-determination and deception. She is the downfall of the hero. Once dominating countless oeuvres in Japanese productions, the femme fatale disappeared in Japanese films from 1930s through the 1990s and did not return in contemporary cinema. I propose that the end of the femme-fatale scenario ultimately began in Japanese popular culture in that she is now transformed into a western figure in a foreign land where she fears to tread. This papers demonsrates how the types of the modern girl and the meiji school girl are present in manga originals and how western producers transform them into femme fatales with potent sexuality and destructive power. The productions under discussion include Death Note , Ghost in the Shell and Oldboy .

This paper examines how aviation refashioned women’s clothing and the female gender norm in Japan in the 1920s. Central to this refashioning were female aviators who fought against gender inequality with the very system of patriarchy. I will first shed light on Katherine Stinson, an American aviatrix who came to Japan in 1916. She performed barnstorming of the furisode, a traditional Japanese garment for young women. The performance, I suggest, helped change Japanese women’s ideas of female bodies. Furthermore, pioneering Japanese female pilots contributed to the shift in female clothing. By examining newspapers and magazines, this paper argues that female gender norms in Japan were significantly refashioned by the air-mindedness of female pilots who changed the, beforehand exclusively, male realm of air space.
