They responded to the excessive demands made by the state to achieve spiritual and material mobilization for the war. In interwar and wartime Japan, the government-sponsored women's patriotic organizations were the main platforms for women to demonstrate their patriotism and support for the nation.Although the scholarship of recent decades has examined women's roles in protecting the home front, few studies have addressed the relationship between the development of women's organizations and the transformation of patriotic motherhood as depicted in school textbooks. I examine three women's organizations—the Patriotic Women's Association (Aikoku fujin kai), the Greater Japan National Defense Women's Association (Dai Nihon kokubō fujin kai), and the Greater Japan Women's Association (Dai Nihon kokubō fujin kai)—to understand the state's expectations on women, as promoted through images of patriotic motherhood in school textbooks, and to explore how women developed their roles in home defense, defined ideal motherhood, and transformed themselves into patriotic mothers.While the state utilized women's organizations to mobilize women to support the home front, these organizations actively developed the new images of patriotic motherhood that sometimes differed from those promoted by the state. Moreover, participation in wartime women's organizations brought Japanese women a certain degree of liberation in their social lives. Nevertheless, the ideal womanhood these organizations developed and scrupulously dedicated to the home front resulted in reinforcing the state's image of self-sacrificial patriotic motherhood espoused in prewar school textbooks.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

The author has often been disparaged as jealous, hysterical, neurotic, and masochistic, but these are exaggerations that seem to be the result of gendered stereotypes. She is only outspokenly resentful of her husband's relationships with women who threatened her dignity and status; she often laments her husband's negligence, but she also shares many warm moments with him and is more than a wife. She has strong bonds with her biological family members, is recognized as a talented poet, corresponds with a variety of her peers, and undertakes numerous pilgrimages. She retains her husband's interest for nearly twenty years, and then turns her attention to the needs of her adult children, a biological son and an adopted daughter. It is her son's achievements, not her husband's affection, that elicits her strongest expressions of joy. A data-driven analysis of the Kagerō Diary, combined with recognition of the importance of status and prestige among the aristocracy in Heian Japan, refutes sexist characterizations and allows us to see Michitsuna's mother as an impressive figure.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

As Japanese aviation shifted from being a tool of empire for the military to a luxurious means of transportation for business, the newly established Japan Airlines (JAL) faced the challenge of fashioning an attractive brand for the American market. In 1953, in preparation for the launch of its first transpacific route from Tokyo to San Francisco, American advertising executives recommended that JAL design its corporate image around its \"stewardesses\" by dressing them in kimonos and foregrounding their personalized service. This rebranding strategy was intended to deflect perceptions of Japanese aviation away from the kamikaze and aggressive masculinity toward a performance of oriental femininity. This approach, however, ran contrary to the Japanese perception of \"stewardess\" as a modern, cutting-edge job for women. In order to compete with U.S. carriers, JAL's management saw the need to train its \"stewardesses\" to meet international standards of inflight service and engaged a \"stewardess instructor\" from United Airlines for this purpose. I argue that JAL \"stewardesses\" stood at the intersection of Japan's aspirations to modernity and the American imagination of the Orient, and that they learned to enact both, thereby assuming simultaneously a gendered yet paradoxically \"modern\" role in Japanese postwar aviation.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

In this article, I define the body and the space in the narrative as \"liminal.\" In Ogawa's works, entering liminal spaces usually implies changes, instant or forthcoming, visible or invisible, regarding the characters' physicality. Parts of the characters' bodies or certain bodily functions vanish. In return, the liminal bodies are rewarded with insubstantial endowments, such as love, companionship, inner peace, or freedom. Examining Hotel Iris (Hoteru Airisu, 1996) as a case study, this article provides a reading of Ogawa based on the representations of liminal bodies and liminal space. Hotel Iris, for its astonishing and painstaking depictions of sadomasochism, remains somewhat exceptional in Ogawa's works. The seemingly carnal feast in the narrative is essentially the protagonist's escape from the physical. Sexual acts, as well as the liminal spatial setting, serve as a form of salvation by freeing the spirit from the body.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

Unlike many literary works depicting internment, the play mainly targets Japanese audiences in the 1990s. In light of the Reagan administration's official apology in 1988 for internment, the play, at a glance, addresses women's solidarity against the injustice of internment. However, by depicting the simultaneous singing of two types of Japanese popular songs symbolizing Japanese imperialism—a shōka song authorized by the state to nurture schoolchildren's national pride and naniwa-bushi chanting that promoted patriotism for adult audiences—Inoue also situates internment as a site where the female Japanese American characters uncritically celebrate their homeland Japan while revealing their ignorance of how other Asians suffered from Japanese imperialism. The latter revelation emerges when one of these female internees turns out to be a Chinese American \"spy\" whose father was killed by the Japanese authorities in China. The collective singing of the Japanese songs leads them to mobilize their vulnerability derived from their Japanese ancestry, the sole reason for them to face persecution, and to eventually protest against both American and Japanese imperialism. The harmonized voices of the Japanese American women illuminate how Inoue recreates the story of internment to challenge the Japanese public of his time on selective forgetting of empire, while addressing the importance of women's solidarity against injustice.","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.

While the original panel focused closely on girls’ culture in Japan, engaging particularly with media representations of the “shōjo” (girl), our commitment to interrogating the networks of power around female-gendered youth in Japanese popular culture led us to wider considerations of the category of “youth.” The articles in this issue present new ways of reading a variety of images of girls and young women in Japanese popular culture, from 1940s films and 1950s pulp magazines to twenty-first-century shōjo manga, paying particular attention to the issue of representation and its often-conflicted relationship with lived experience. Examining the interrelation of youth and gender is a timely concern. In Japan, young people are raising their voices with increasing regularity and persuasive force on issues as varied as nuclear power, climate change, and sexual harassment. “Youthquake,” the term coined by Diana Vreeland in 1965 to describe the influence of youth on popular culture, recently returned to popular attention as the Oxford English Dictionary’s “Word of the Year” for 2017, suggesting that widening youth influence on popular discourse is a global","PeriodicalId":88338,"journal":{"name":"U.S.-Japan women's journal.
