As the first international conflict of the twentieth century, the
Russo-Japanese War attracted much contemporary global interest.
This text was the first full-length study to examine the war from
the perspective of its impact on Japanese society, and sheds light
on its implications for modern Japan. What did the war mean to the
Japanese people and how did they respond to it? Naoko Shimazu
presents a fascinating and highly innovative account of the
attitudes of ordinary Japanese people towards the war through a
wide range of sources including personal diaries, letters, and
contemporary images. She deals with themes such as conscripts and
battlefield death, war commemoration, heroic myths, and war in
popular culture. Challenging the orthodox view of Meiji Japan as
monolithic, she shows that there existed a complex and ambivalent
relationship between the Japanese state and society.
