Statecraft and Spectacle in East Asia is a multidisciplinary
collection of essays that explores the intertwined histories of
Taiwan and Japan across the long sweep of the early modern and
modern periods. Drawing on new research by scholars from Europe,
North America and Asia-Pacific, it moves beyond the conventional
focus on the mechanics of the Japanese colonial state to provide
new perspectives on a highly significant relationship that shaped
the nature of the modern East Asian political landscape. Ranging
from the seventeenth century to the chaotic aftermath of empire,
the papers collected here consider Tokugawa Japan's halting
engagement with Taiwan as a key world historical moment that
illuminates changing attitudes towards maritime expansion; the ways
in which the colonial project was packaged and sold in print as
well as image; and the complex legal discourses surrounding the
making and unmaking of empire. Together they show how influence
flowed both ways between Taiwan and Japan and the importance of
inter-Asian interactions. This book was published as a special
issue of Japanese Studies.
