ISBN: 978-0-8248-2982-7 (hardcover : alk. paper) PHYSICAL DESC: xiv, 289 p. :ill. ;24 cm. Book LANGUAGE: Text in English. SUMMARY: "Japan joined the League of Nations in 1920 asa charter member and one of four permanent membersof the League Council. Until conflict arose between Japanand the organization over the 1931 Manchurian Incident,the League was a centerpiece of Japan's policy tomaintain accommodation with the Western powers. Thepicture of Japan as a positive contributor to internationalcomity, however, is not the conventional view of thecountry in the early and mid-twentieth century. Rather,this period is usually depicted in Japan and abroad as ahistory of incremental imperialism and intensifyingmilitarism, culminating in war in China and the Pacific.Even the Empire's interface with the League of Nations istypically addressed only at nodes of confrontation: the1919 debates over racial equality as the Covenant wasdrafted, and the 1931-1933 League challenge to Japan'sseizure of northeast China. This volume fills in the spacebefore, between, and after these nodes and gives theLeague relationship the legitimate place it deserves inJapanese international history of the 1920s and 1930s.""Japan and the League of Nations is based on exhaustivedocumentary inquiry into government documents andthe unpublished manuscripts of Japanese diplomats andother League participants in Washington, London, andGeneva. Japanese diplomats, League functionaries, andjournalists with League experience were interviewed inthe early phase of the research. It is an entirely freshlook at Japan's international behavior in the shiftingcontext of the interwar years, a drama that has long-termconsequences."--BOOK JACKET.CALL NUM: 329.67 TAK ENGINTERPRETING THE TOKYO WAR CRIMES TRIAL : ASOCIOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS / KAYOKO TAKEDA.

ISBN: 1-74076-115-4 PHYSICAL DESC: 236 p. :ill., ports. ;25 cm. Book LANGUAGE: Text in English. SUMMARY: "In the 1980s, property prices on the GoldCoast reached unprecedented heights. Glamorous highrisesetched the skyline, coastal swamps were replacedby immaculate golf-courses and mansions jostled forposition along canal estates. Spurred by a flood ofJapanese tourism followed by a wave of Japaneseinvestment, the region witnessed a grand transformationthat enthusiastically applied the theory of Australia aspart of Asia. However, World War II sensitivities werestirred up. Many were energized into action that hadrepercussions for all levels of Australian life. Furiousdebate was sparked about Australia's national identity.""Samurai in the Surf explores the history of thisinvestment, following a money-trail that leads back to aballooning Japanese economy and a colourful array ofJapanese who put their money into Gold Coast property.The book also explores the local community's views ofthis unprecedented stream of foreign investment andprovides a convincing illustration of the links between1980s Queensland and Pauline Hanson's One Nationmovement of the 1990s."--BOOK JACKET.CALL NUM: 369.37 MOR JKITA CHŌSEN E NO EKUSODASU : "KIKOKU JIGYŌ" NOKAGE O TADORU = EXODUS TO NORTH KOREA :SHADOWS FROM JAPAN'S COLD WAR / TESSA MŌRISU-SUZUKI CHO ; TASHIRO YASUKO YAKU.| 北朝鮮へのエクソダス : 「帰国事業の影をたどる」 / テッサ・モーリス-スズキスズキ著 .| PUBLISHER: Tōkyō : Asahi Shinbunsha, 2007.| 東京 : 朝日新聞社 , 2007.| ISBN: 978-4-02-250255-1 PHYSICAL DESC: 342, 31 p. :ill., map ;20 cm.

SUMMARY: "Selling Songs and Smiles explores femalesexual entertainment ("songs and smiles") during Japan'sHeian and Kamakura periods, examining the gradualconstruction of a transgressive identity ("prostitute") forwomen engaged in the sex trade. Over some fourhundred years, the character and public image of sexualentertainment was shaped by growing restrictions onfemale sexual activity and increasingly negative views ofthe female body - themselves the result ofsocioeconomic change in society at large. Using essays,diaries, legal documents, stories, and illustrated stories,this work unravels social attitudes toward female sexualentertainers and examines changes in their trade and thetreatment they received at the hands of the court, thebakufu, and religious institutions."--BOOK JACKET.CALL NUM: 396.21 COLKOKODA : HARUKA NARU TATAKAI NO MICHI :NYŪGINIA NANKAI SHITAI SEKAI SAIKYŌ NO TEIKŌ /KUREIGU KŌRĪ, MARUTANI HAJIME, KYŌCHO ;MARUTANI MAYUKO, YAKU.|ココダ: 遙かなる戦いのCALL NUM: 518.85 HAVPARKSCAPES : GREEN SPACES IN MODERN JAPAN /THOMAS R.H.
