Kita Ikki and the Making of Modern Japan | A Vision of Empire Tankha, Brij (Book #ID 86710) Published by Global Oriental Folkestone, Kent First Edition 2006. 2006. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original burgundy cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9'' x 6''. Contains [xvi] 272 printed pages of text. This important new study of Kita Ikki, one of Japan's influential pre-war idealogues, focuses on the twin poles of nationalism and socialism that inform his three principal works, located always in the context of the dominance of Western imperialism at that time. The three works are 'The National Polity and Pure Socialism'(Kokutairon oyobi junsei shakai shugi), in which he explores the nature of the modern Japanese state and its characteristics, 'The Unofficial History of the Chinese Revolution' (Shina kakumei gaishi), written to correct what he perceived as Japan's misguided policy towards China, and 'The Fundamental Principles for the Reorganization of Japan' (Nihon kaizo hoan taiko), which was said to have influenced the young army officers of the Imperial Way Faction who attempted the 26 February 1936 coup to bring about direct imperial rule. The coup failed and Kita was executed the following year for his involvement as the so-called intellectual inspiration. The second half of the book contains the first complete English translation (by Brij Tankha) of 'The Fundamental Principles for the Reorganization of Japan', providing the reader with an opportunity to hear the voice of an early twentieth-century Japanese intellectual confronting the challenge of the West's domination and its implications for Japan; in so doing Kita helped galvanize support for an agenda involving Japan's own imperial mission and the pathway to a new Japan.

Okakura Tenshin and Pan-Asianism | Shadows of the Past Tankha, Brij [Okakura Tenshin 1862-1913] (Book #ID 85130) Published by Global Oriental Ltd., Folkestone, Kent First Edition 2009. 2009. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original blue cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 9'' x 6''. This volume explores four key themes emanating from Okakura Tenshin's philosophy and legacy: Okakura Tenshin and the Ideal of Pan-Asianism; Other Forms of Pan-Asianism (especially Islam and China); Art and Asia, and Ways of Defining Asia (up to the present day). Okakura Tenshin (1862-1913), art historian and ideologue driven by a notion of Asia bound by culture, is a significant figure in Japan's modern intellectual history. His writings in both Japanese and English became part of a growing discourse that positioned Japan as the guardian and protector of Asia against the depredations, cultural as much as economic and political, of the West. At the outbreak of the Pacific War, the first line of Okakura's 1903 book ('Asia is One'), The Ideals of the East, was celebrated posthumously by the Japanese military as the most powerful expression of Japan's goal of political ascendancy in Asia. Contains frontispiece with rare photograph of Okakura Tenshin, [xi] 176 pp with monochrome illustrations. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, unused and unopened new book.

Japan's Imperial Forest Goryorin, 1889-1946: With a Supporting Study of the Kan/Min Division of Woodland in Early Meiji Japan, 1871-76 Totman, Conrad (Book #ID 85147) Published by Global Oriental Folkestone, Kent First Edition 2007. 2007. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original green cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 8½'' x 5½''. Contains [xxx] 184 printed pages of text with monochrome photographs and maps. This is the first study of its kind to trace the history of what was to become one of Japan's major resources and a model of conservation and forestry management. Central to the planning of the Meiji reformers was securing the long-term financial stability of the Imperial household that would not leave it exposed to the whims of future political and economic change. The solution was the goryorin, or imperial forests. Over time, however, the acquired land generated controversy within the framework of law and other imperatives, and was finally abandoned by the Occupation authorities because of the political ideology that was its raison d'etre in the first place. In Part II, the author explores the great early Meiji debate between government and people (kan/min) concerning the reorganization of woodland in Japan which generated a widespread conflict [it actually lasted for decades], pitting the new regime against the country's village population - at that time comprising some 80% of the population - thereby creating the greatest conflict between government and people in the history of Japan. It was, in essence, a contest for control of the realm. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, unused and unopened new book. We carry this book in stock for immediate dispatch.
