This book charts the process of civilisation in Japan. Using the
theory of civilising processes developed by Norbert Elias, the
author examines the complex underlying structural and psychological
processes from the seventh century to the twentieth century.
Furthermore, by drawing on rich historical data, the author
illustrates how these complex processes led the Japanese to see
themselves as 'more civilised' than their forebears and
neighbouring countries. Although the theory serves as an important
reference point, the author draws on other works to address
different complex questions surrounding Japanese development.
Therefore, this book presents three key themes: first, it gives an
alternative understanding of the complex developments of Japanese
society; second, it intercedes into an ongoing debate about the
applicability of Elias's theory in a non-Western context; and
third, it expands Elias's theory.
