"Shows that sport has been for us moderns the ultimate "tabula
rasa" into which we pour our hopes, fears, prejudices and
self-interest."--Robert A. Nye, author of "Crime, Madness, &
Politics in Modern France" and "Masculinity and Male Codes of Honor
in Modern France"
This groundbreaking collection examines the regional dynamics of state societies, looking at how people use the concepts of urban and rural, traditional and modern, and industrial and agricultural to define their existence and the experience of living in contemporary Japanese society. The book focuses on the Tohoku (Northeast) region, which many Japanese consider rural, agrarian, undeveloped economically, and the epitome of the traditional way of life. While this stereotype overstates the case-the region is home to one of Japan's largest cities-most Japanese contrast Tohoku (everything traditional) with Tokyo (everything modern). However, the contributors show how various regional phenomena-internationalization, lacquerware production, farming, enka (modern Japanese ballads), women's roles, and professional dance -combine the traditional, the modern, and the global.
