The essays in this groundbreaking book explore the meanings of
manhood in Japan from the seventeenth to the twenty-first
centuries. "Recreating Japanese Men" examines a broad range of
attitudes regarding properly masculine pursuits and modes of
behavior. It charts breakdowns in traditional and conventional
societal roles and the resulting crises of masculinity.
Contributors address key questions about Japanese manhood ranging
from icons such as the samurai to marginal men including
hermaphrodites, robots, techno-geeks, rock climbers, shop clerks,
soldiers, shoguns, and more. In addition to bringing historical
evidence to bear on definitions of masculinity, contributors
provide fresh analyses on the ways contemporary modes and styles of
masculinity have affected Japanese men's sense of gender as
authentic and stable.
