Episode 11: Dr. Eiji Okawa (University of Victoria)
Dr. Okawa documents how the Meiji Restoration impacted the epistemology of history in Japan and Japanese overseas migration in the late 19th-early 20th centuries. We discuss ideas of "Japanese-ness" in premodern Japan and find continuities with conceptualizations of identity, language, and group among Japanese diasporic communities in British Columbia in the face of systemic racism and violence.
Episode 12: Dr. Naoko Kato (University of British Columbia)
Dr. Kato catalogues the impact of the Meiji Period on Sino-Japanese relations through the person of Uchiyama Kanzo and the Uchiyama bookstore in Shanghai. We also discuss the numerous Japan-related resources located at the UBC library and the Meiji at 150 Digital Teaching Resource.
Episode 13: Dr. Millie Creighton (University of British Columbia)
Dr. Creighton revisits the Meiji Period through the lens of tourism, exploring the way the Restoration is repackaged and resold at local tourist sites from Kagoshima to Kochi today. We discuss the popularity of "historical theme parks" such as Meiji Village and Nikko Edo Village, the UNESCO designation of Meiji-era industrial sites, and the recent boom in TV dramatizations of the Meiji and Showa periods.
