From Pikachu, to instantly identifi able manga memes, to the darkness of adult anime, and the hyper- consumerism of product tie- ins, Japan has bequeathed to a globalised world a rich variety of ways to imagine, communicate, and interrogate tradition and change, the self, and the technological future. Within these foci, questions of law have often not been far from the surface: the crime and justice of Astro Boy; the property and contract of Pokemon; the ecological justice of Nausicaa; Shinto’s focus on order and balance; and the anxieties of origins in J- horror. This volume brings together a range of global scholars to refl ect on and critically engage with the place of law and justice in Japan’s popular cultural legacy. It explores not only the global impact of this legacy, but what the images, games, narratives, and artefacts that comprise it reveal about law, humanity, justice, and authority in the twenty-first century.

This is not, however, because many of the stories are ‘cops and robber’ crime stories or that some of the stories deal with discrimination against and the fights for civil rights, for robots. It is text about law in a fundamental sense in that throughout the diversity of the original manga there is a continual theme of transcending essence. Tezuka draws Atomu’s world as inhabited by beings that are constrained, yet struggle to overcome, their inherent limitations. Tetsuwan Atomu, in showing that essence does not limit nor constrain, shows good and bad are not determined by programming or by biology, but by choice and doing-in-the-world. In this Tezuka has drawn a world of responsibility, responsibility borne not so much from formal duty, but from participation in ‘life’. This could be understood as a techno-humanist law of love. However, instead of the latent paternalism that might attach to a serious ‘law of love’, what Tetsuwan Atomu reveals is a responsibility to ‘life’ that comes through engagement, play and laughter.","PeriodicalId":291496,"journal":{"name":"Law and Justice in Japanese Popular Culture","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114236845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
