The series highlights how a woman named Tsuna's mental health is negatively affected by her husband's Asperger's syndrome. This article introduces readers to a condition known as Cassandra syndrome and discusses how Nonami decided to illustrate it in her manga. Cassandra syndrome began to attract public attention in the 2010s, around the same time as Nonami's manga was published. My article sheds light on how social expectations of \"self-sacrifice\" on the part of wives, mothers, and daughters make them susceptible to Cassandra syndrome if they have a close relationship with someone who has Asperger's. Thanks in part to Nonami's series, an increasing number of manga about Asperger's have raised awareness of mental health conditions. Here, I use the word \"tōjisha\" to refer to people who have experienced mental disorders and similarly stigmatized psychological conditions and neurological disorders. I argue that an emerging group of graphic memoirs authored by tōjisha, which I call \"tōjisha manga,\" deserves international scholarly attention.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

It offers an in-depth analysis of the postwar Japanese writer Takeda Taijun's 1956 short story \"F**k Your Mother!\" (Nanji no haha o!) by looking into the power dynamics in a rape forced between a Chinese woman and her son by Japanese imperial soldiers that the narrator of the story witnessed years before. After scrutinizing the evocative gender division in the moral crisis that the writer imagines the two victims facing during the rape, this article points out how Takeda ends up reinforcing a patriarchal structure that promises redemption for the humiliated man but sees the woman's mutilated body as nothing but waste excreted by the organic sekai (world). In such a world, since the man's ruination only means a transfer of energy from one man to another, destruction is idealized and shifted away from the ruins that communicate the possibilities of history. The article calls for a revisiting of women's unnamable wounds for a response to the decay of an existing paradigm such as Takeda's sekai.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

This article studies #KuToo, an online feminist movement sparked by a tweet complaining about compulsory wearing of high heels in Japanese workplaces. By analyzing the cultural, media, and political factors behind #KuToo's development, this study explains how the movement is able to achieve online influence. Based on digital ethnography, participant observation, and semistructured in-depth interviews, three factors are found behind #KuToo's popularity: (1) its cultural resistance against patriarchal workplace norms based on shared personalized experiences of foot pain, (2) the formation of a loosely connected but functioning connective feminist community against a predominantly male backlash, and (3) an alliance with opposition political parties. Cross-reading Lance Bennett and Alexandra Segerberg's connective action theory and Pierre Bourdieu's discussion of habitus, this article argues that while #KuToo has created meaningful social connections to challenge high heels as a rigid workplace habitus through its cultural persuasiveness, media savvy, and political alliance, ample evidence shows that both #KuToo activists and supporters suffer from painful connections with an exploitative working culture, a violent social media backlash, and distant political parties.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

Okei settled in Northern California as part of the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Colony, a short-lived venture led by the German John Schnell (1834–?) and twenty entrepreneurial samurai and farmers who hoped to support the defeated province through the establishment of an international satellite colony. Serving as a caretaker for Schnell's children, Okei remained in the United States when the venture failed a year later. She died of illness at age nineteen. Okei's short life and tragic death have become symbolic of the life and death of the Wakamatsu colony itself, and her gravesite attracts busloads of tourists annually, including some from Japan. Using theories from the field of memory studies that began in the 1980s, I investigate the historiography of the Wakamatsu colony and Okei's grave as a memory site to reveal a palimpsestuous layering of meaning embedded in both discursive and commemorative work seeking to rehabilitate ethnic and local identities over time. Focusing on how local governments, regional presses, and community organizations have preserved Okei's legacy shows how memory work shapes both local and national narratives, spotlighting the shared terrains of Japanese and Japanese American history.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

As in that first article, the central analysis builds on writing by Sasakibara Gō, an influential thinker and outspoken consumer of moe media. Following from Part 1, this article continues the discussion of objectification and its relation to sexual violence both imaginary and real. It primarily focuses on Revue Starlight (Shōjo kageki revyū sutāraito), an anime series released in the final years of the 2010s. This decade was marked by the expansion and intensification of affective economics surrounding characters; moe media such as Revue Starlight deploy characters to affect and move fans, who are sold a franchise and buy into it as they follow characters across media and material forms. In this sense, Revue Starlight is \"moexploitation,\" which refers to exploitation of not just fans but also characters in moe media franchises. Revealing the dynamics of objectification and subsequent exploitation, the Revue Starlight anime internally critiques itself, but ultimately must forget its intervention in order to allow for business to continue as usual. The article explores this facing and forgetting of violence as part of what Sasakibara calls the \"I-becoming-gaze.\" Read in contrast to seemingly similar offerings, Revue Starlight illuminates how moe media can contribute to cultivating an ethics of imaginary violence, as well as how that process can be limited and contained.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

A year later, researcher Tōya Mamoru's book From Clubs to Kayokyoku: Dawn of Japanese Popular Music after the War (Shinchugun Kurabu Kara Kyokyoku e sengo nihon popura ongaku no reimiki, 2005) brought this world into Japanese academia by exploring how these bases became a nurturing ground for almost all of the musicians, singers, and entertainment figures who would go on to remake postwar Japan's entire show business infrastructure. This article brings Tōya's work to an English audience and also broadens it by examining the role of young Japanese women, whether as dance companions of soldiers at base club dances or as vocalists fronting jazz bands, in making the military base camp an incubator for the careers of legendary vocalists and movie stars Eri Chiemi (1937–82) and Yukimura Izumi (b. 1937). The early lives of these important singers and their experience of the military bases is examined as part of a deeper probe into the complex cultural crucible that allowed them so effectively to embrace the rhythm and romance of American jazz music.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.
