This collection of ecocritical essays is focused on the work of
Japan's foremost writer on environment and culture, Ishimure
Michiko. Ishimure is known for her pioneering trilogy that exposed
the Minamata Disease incident and the nature of modern industrial
pollution. She is also regarded by many critics as Japan's most
original and important literary writer. Ishimure has written over
50 volumes in a wide range of genres, including novels, Noh drama,
poetry, children's stories, essays, and mixed-genre writing. This
collection brings together the work of scholars from Japan, the
U.S., and Canada who are authorities on Ishimure's writing.
Contributors discuss Ishimure's writing in the context of the
latest issues in ecocritical theory, arguing for an expanded,
more-than-Western understanding of literature, theory, and
environmental responsibility. It will help to relate various
environmental, cultural, and ecocritical issues, ranging from the
events at Minamata to those at Fukushima, and consider how they
point to future developments.
