This is a multi-author work which examines the cultural dimensions
of the relations between East Asia's two great powers, China and
Japan, in a period of change and turmoil, from the late nineteenth
century to the end of the Second World War. This period saw
Japanese invasion of China, the occupation of China's North-east
(Manchuria) and Taiwan, and war between the two nations from
1937-1945; the scars of that war are still evident in relations
between the two countries today. In their quest for modernity, the
rulers and leading thinkers of China and Japan defined themselves
in contradisctinction to the other, influenced both by traditional
bonds of classical culture and by the influx of new Western ideas
that flowed through Japan to China. The experiences of intellectual
and cultural awakening in the two countries were inextricably
linked, as our studies of poetry, fiction, philosophy, theatre, and
popular culture demonstrate. The chapters explore this process of
"transculturation" - the sharing and exchange of ideas and artistic
expression - not only in Japan and China, but in the larger region
which Joshua Fogel has called the "Sinosphere," an area including
Korea and parts of Southeast Asia with a shared heritage of
Confucian statecraft and values underpinned by the classical
Chinese language. The authors of the chapters, who include
established senior academics and younger scholars, and employ a
range of disciplines and methodologies, were selected by the
editors for their expertise in particular aspects of this rich and
complex cultural relationship. As for the editors: Richard King and
Cody Poulton are scholars and translators of Chinese literature and
Japanese theatre respectively, each taking a historical and
comparative perspective to the study of their subject; Katsuhiko
Endo is an intellectual historian dealing with both Japan and
China.
