Carmen Blacker was an outstanding scholar of Japanese culture,
known internationally for her writings on religion, myth and
folklore - her most notable work being The Catalpa Bow: A Study of
Shamanistic Practices in Japan. Importantly, a third of the volume
comprises significant extracts from the author's diaries covering a
period of more than forty years, together with a plate section
drawn from her extensive photographic archive, thus providing a
rare opportunity to gain a personal insight into the author's life
and work. The volume includes a wide selection of writings from
distinguished scholars such as Donald Keene and her former pupil
Peter Kornicki in celebration of her work and legacy, together with
various essays and papers by Carmen Blacker herself that have
hitherto not been widely available. In addition to her scholarship,
Carmen Blacker was also highly regarded for her work in promoting
Japanese Studies at Cambridge and played a vital role in helping to
re-establish The Japan Society, London, post-war.
