Visual Genesis of Japanese National Identity offers an entirely new
perspective on the concept of constructing nation-states. The book
explores the nature of national identity constructs produced in
pre-modern Japan by examining two aspects of its cultural
production, the sphere of fine arts and the sphere of literature
inter-twined with a genre of poetry pictorialization. The
discussion is centered on the artistic practice of Katsushika
Hokusai (1760-1849) and contextualizes his woodblock print series
entitled Hyakunin isshu uba ga etoki in a wider perspective of
Japanese historical, political, social, cultural and artistic
phenomena emerging prior to the birth of the modern Japanese
nation. Hokusai's work, oscillating between the domain of text and
the domain of image, transposes the classical Japanese poetry into
late Edo period (1603-1868) popular culture. Machotka argues that
in the process of text/image translation Hokusai projected a new
image of «Japaneseness, thereby contributing to the development of
national identity prior to the emergence of Japan as a modern
nation-state.
