Dear PMJS members:
Please note the recent publication of Cultural Imprints: War and Memory in the Samurai Age, an edited volume including chapters by PJMS members.
Cultural Imprints: War and Memory in the Samurai Age (Cornell East Asia Series #211) brings together the work of an interdisciplinary group of scholars to address the impact of war and war memory over Japan’s long samurai-led period from the establishment of the first shogunate through the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1868. The book examines “cultural imprints,” records and representations of samurai, real and fictional, in literature, historical documents, painting, and the performing arts. By drawing attention to specific but varied cultural practices related to war and memory, the book highlights the overarching centrality in the cultural realm of representing and remembering the experience of warfare and the impacts of samurai rule.
Thank you,
Katherine Saltzman-Li and Elizabeth Oyler, co-editors
