Introducing Japanese Popular Culture
Editors Alisa Freedman and Toby Slade
Routledge

Specifically designed for use on a range of undergraduate and graduate courses, Introducing Japanese Popular Culture is a comprehensive textbook offering an up-to-date overview of a wide variety of media forms. It uses particular case studies as a way into examining the broader themes in Japanese culture and provides a thorough analysis of the historical and contemporary trends that have shaped artistic production, as well as, politics, society, and economics. As a result, more than being a time capsule of influential trends, this book teaches enduring lessons about how popular culture reflects the societies that produce and consume it.

With contributions from an international team of scholars, representing a range of disciplines from history and anthropology to art history and media studies, the book’s sections include:

• Television

• Videogames

• Music

• Popular Cinema

• Anime

• Manga

• Popular Literature

• Fashion

• Contemporary Art

Written in an accessible style by a stellar line-up of international contributors, this textbook will be essential reading for students of Japanese culture and society, Asian media and popular culture, and Asian Studies in general.

Japanese Fashion: A Cultural History
Berg Publishers
Toby Slade

Japanese Fashion examines the entire sweep of Japanese clothing history, from the sophisticated fashion systems of late-Edo period kimonos to the present day, providing possible theories of how Japan made this fashion journey and linking current theories of fashion to the Japanese example. From the awkward Edwardian tailcoats and the bustle dresses of the 1870s first encounters with Western clothes, to the suave and chic modern boys and flapperesque modern girls, of 1920s and 1930s, the story of modern Japanese fashion is as fascinating as it is unique. It is in this remarkably idiosyncratic aesthetic history that is the foundation for the distinct and revolutionary styles of the Japanese designers and myriad subcultures of today. The book is unique in that it provides the first full history of the last two hundred years of Japanese clothing and is unique in including Asian fashion as part of global fashion and a necessary and important part of fashion theory. It adds a hitherto absent continuity to the understanding of historical and current fashion in Japan. And it is pioneering in offering possible theories to account for that entire history and commenting on how that entire history changes our understanding of the way fashion works.
