Despite their self-recognition as not having any foreign ancestors, they are often misrecognized as half-Japanese or non-Japanese by others. This article explores the causes and consequences of this categorization and reflects on the implications of ethnic or racial misidentification for the misidentified and for the wider society. The findings confirm that others labeled the participants as hāfu (mixed) or foreign to make sense of the inconsistency between the participants’ ‘non-Japanese-like’ personal features and a narrow notion of Japaneseness. Their lack of Japaneseness meant the participants experienced exclusion owing to the unmarked norms in Japanese society. They were also treated as though they were hāfu or foreign. However, their belief or claim of having only Japanese ancestors often confused others as well as themselves, which resulted in various attempts to make sense of their ‘differences’. This article concludes that the marginalization and othering of various ethnic or racial groups in Japan helped avoid challenging the notion of Japaneseness. Therefore, to tackle exclusion, diversity among ‘majority Japanese’ needs to be acknowledged.","PeriodicalId":44839,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"303 - 321"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49346317","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}

Sawako Nakayasu’s Mouth: Eats color (2011) is a collection mixing English, Japanese, French, and Spanish ‘translations, anti-translations, and originals’, which have as a starting point Sagawa Chika’s poems. I first discuss Sagawa’s work translating writers such as James Joyce, Charles Reznikoff, and others, focusing on the way in which she develops a unique poetic vocabulary through translation, setting her apart within the (male-centered) modernist movement. Next, I analyze the way Nakayasu approaches Sagawa’s texts when rendering them into English, making the translation process visible and positioning some of the results as nijisōsaku (spin-offs), or ‘transcreations’. My analysis of the above-mentioned texts will shed light on translation, self-translation, and anti-translation as methods through which the woman poet-translator explores unique ways of being and writing in the world. Special attention will be paid to translation as anthropophagy from the margins, that is, as a process of consuming and metabolizing central discourses, sometimes beyond recognition.","PeriodicalId":44839,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"379 - 394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43548795","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}

I suggest that the introduction of an openly gay character in 2018’s Hanbun, aoi can be accounted for by appeal to two factors. First, this particular series’ thematic focus on failure, manga, and nostalgia for the 1990s, including the ‘gay boom’ associated with that decade, motivated the depiction of a gay character. Second, Japan’s political agenda in the 2010s encouraged the positive reinterpretation of sexual minorities as important new consumers and a tourist niche, especially with an eye to the blockbuster international event that was meant to be the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. However, the superficial and highly stereotyped representation offered in Hanbun, aoi reflects a contemporary strategy in Japanese mass media and politics: namely, that of celebrating ‘LGBT-friendliness’ as a promotional or marketing move, while avoiding substantive discussions about critical LGBTQ issues like discrimination and legal rights.","PeriodicalId":44839,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"241 - 255"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10371397.2021.1948321","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42662651","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}

Toshi and her husband are today perhaps best remembered for their work on the latter subject. After hearing news of the bomb in August 1945, they rushed to Maruki Iri’s native city to check on his family. Initially the sights they witnessed stunned and horrified them to the point of artistic inexpressiveness. Gradually, however, they came to feel a sense of responsibility to depict the carnage – and perhaps even a sense of responsibility for the carnage. The collaborative paintings produced and exhibited by the couple in the early 1950s bear witness to a gradual evolution of perspective from simple victimhood to ‘a polyphonic engagement with issues of suffering, aggression, and culpability’ (222). Inserting her own image as a perpetrator of violence against American POWs into scenes of the apocalyptic aftermath of the bomb, Toshi perhaps acknowledged the moral inadequacy of her wartime conduct and outlook. Beautifully produced by the University of Hawai`i Press, The art of persistence boasts dozens of reproductions of Toshi’s art (including 15 color plates), allowing the reader to follow along as the author describes and deconstructs each work. Eubanks is not an art historian, and Toshi’s contributions, merit, and technique await a fuller analysis from this perspective. However, by highlighting the richness of her oeuvre, both in terms of creative production and personal documentation, The art of persistence makes an excellent case for such a project.","PeriodicalId":44839,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Studies","volume":"41 1","pages":"264 - 267"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10371397.2021.1940899","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47751746","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}
