Greetings All,
This email is to announce another seven Early Access publications from Japan Review.
Jingyi Li traces the commodification of early modern literary identities in Ginkei and Co.: Commodifying Literati Identity in Nineteenth-Century Japan.
Kristopher W. Kersey offers us a beautiful meditation on Materiality, Visuality, and Phenomenology: Strategies of Reproduction in Modern Japanese Books.
Other research articles dive into various aspects of modern Japanese history; the role of imperial household grants in the prewar and wartime periods, nuclear weapons in Mishima Yukio’s fiction, and a cryptogamic history of homosexuality in modern Japan.
Yūsuke Katō, Imperial Household Grants from 1914 to 1945: On the Social Functions of the Monarchy in Modern Japan.
Scott Mehl, The Nuclear Beautiful: The Ethics and Aesthetics of the Bomb in the Writings of Mishima Yukio.
Patrick Carland-Echavarria, Plants in the Shade: Cryptogams as Queer Metaphor in Modern Japanese Discourse.
Finally, two articles will form part of 2026’s Special Section examining “Kyoto’s Imperial Modernity: Erasure and Preservation.”
Mariko Okada analyzes the experiences of Kyoto’s Geisha during the war, in Competing with Housewives on the Home Front: Kyoto’s Geisha and the Fifteen Years’ War.
Philip Seaton looks at how Kyoto’s universities narrate the war today, in Kyoto’s Universities at War, 1937-1945: Using Institutional History, Addressing Institutional Responsibility.
Three other articles in the Special Section are already available. The Section itself will be published in this year’s issue, in December 2026.
Take a peek all, and enjoy the wonderful research presented here!
Best wishes,
Ted
