This volume examines the visual culture of Japan's transition to
modernity, from 1868 to the first decades of the twentieth century.
Through this important moment in Japanese history, contributors
reflect on Japan's transcultural artistic imagination vis-a-vis the
discernment, negotiation, assimilation, and assemblage of diverse
aesthetic concepts and visual pursuits. The collected chapters show
how new cultural notions were partially modified and integrated to
become the artistic methods of modern Japan, based on the
hybridization of major ideologies, visualities, technologies,
productions, formulations, and modes of representation. The book
presents case studies of creative transformation demonstrating how
new concepts and methods were perceived and altered to match views
and theories prevalent in Meiji Japan, and by what means different
practitioners negotiated between their existing skills and the
knowledge generated from incoming ideas to create innovative modes
of practice and representation that reflected the specificity of
modern Japanese artistic circumstances. The book will be of
interest to scholars working in art history, Japanese studies,
Asian studies, and Japanese history, as well as those who use
approaches and methods related to globalization, cross-cultural
studies, transcultural exchange, and interdisciplinary studies.
