ABSTRACT Japan’s opening to global trade during the second half of the nineteenth century aroused much interest from Western nations. Attempts to understand the nation were made by classifying Japan and its people within the racial and political hierarchies known at the time, which were frequently contradictory in attitude. By focusing on the popular British satirical magazine, Punch, this paper explores the ways in which Japan was used as a satirical “other” between 1852 and 1893. The fluctuating representations reveal socio-political anxieties during a period of heightened consciousness towards ideological and geopolitical power dynamics.

ABSTRACT Based on 51 qualitative interviews of middle- to upper-middle-class women and men in their thirties through early fifties in Paris and Tokyo from 2018 to 2020, this qualitative research seeks to develop a comparative understanding of how women and men reconcile the diverse commitments of work and family in two post-industrial societies by querying such topics as the contexts for dual-career households, the meanings of work for women and men, workplace challenges, and gender and the division of household labor. Recent shifts in gender roles, female workforce participation, and more varied living patterns and couple relationships are increasingly placing pressure on younger and middle-aged couples with children. Our findings suggest that despite historical and cultural differences in the nexus of work and family, not to mention diverging levels of government support for dual-worker families, there are interesting commonalities in the ways in which couples reconcile work and family. In particular, in both Japan and France, naturalizing women as the main care givers is a fundamental aspect of how work and family balance is maintained. Despite the presence of many supportive institutional frameworks for flexible work, childcare support, and gender equity, both the French and the Japanese pursue subjective well-being through gendered notions of care.

ABSTRACT Drawing on media portrayals of the Japanese imperial family since the end of World War II, this study explores an imagined imperial community represented through Japanese digital media reports culminating at the dawn of Reiwa and Emperor Naruhito’s coronation in 2019. The study examines if the media representation of the Reiwa imagined imperial community reflects the preferred narrative of the Abe administration (2012–2020). The study’s main conceptual suppositions are Benedict Anderson’s imagined communities and Kurihara Akira’s performance model of the emperor system. Findings from a content analysis of digital media reports between 1 April 2019 and 4 May 2019 suggest that a) the Reiwa imagined imperial community was chiefly represented by media reports with nationalistic narratives in line with the Abe administration’s political philosophy, hinting at restoring a prewar imagined imperial community; and b) digital media organizations practiced sontaku – a media practice of willing submission to the government – by favoring the Abe administration’s narrative of the Reiwa imagined imperial community. Hence, the current study identified that the Reiwa imagined imperial community, which appeared in the digital media, was not just a high-profile historical event. Rather, the Reiwa imagined imperial community was a grand political performance scripted by the Abe administration with the media as the intermediary.

These points aside, Matsuda’s volume provides valuable insights to everyone interested in new rural living, innovative forms of work, rural and urban Japan and post-growth societies.
