This book takes the reader on a sensory ethnographic tour in Japan
and describes the many ways sounds seep into everyday experiences.
So many ethnographies describe local worlds with a deep attention
to what is seen and what people say, but with a limited
understanding of the broader sonic environments that enrich and
inform everyday life. Through a focus on sounds, both real and
imagined, the volume employs a critical ear to engage with a range
of sonically enriched encounters, including crosswalk melodies in
streetscapes, announcements and jingles at train stations, water
features in gardens, dosimeters in nuclear affected zones, sounds
of training in music and martial arts halls and celebrations under
blossoming cherry trees. The authors use various analytic frames to
understand the communicative and symbolic aspects of sounds and to
sense the layers of historical meaning, embodied action and affect
associated with sonic environments.
