Mechademia 10 revolves around a maelstrom of events: the
devastation of 3/11-the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor
crises-and the ongoing environmental disasters that have recently
overtaken Japan. Because anime and manga have long proposed (and
illustrated) alternative worlds-some created after catastrophes-it
is fitting that this volume should consider this propensity for
"world renewal." Individual essays range widely, from a poetic and
personal reflection on the ritual of toro nagashi (the lighting of
floating paper lanterns that has traditionally commemorated souls
lost in great public cataclysms, such as war) to a study of the
various counterfactual histories written about the historical
figure of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a former peasant farmer who became a
military dictator of feudal Japan. The book also includes an
original manga, Nanohana, from the popular artist Hagio Moto, who
is quoted as saying: "I want to think together with everyone else
about Fukushima and Chernobyl, about the future of the Earth, about
the future of humankind, and to keep thinking moving forward."
