Описание: This quirky, nose-to-tail survey of Japan`s love affair with dogs explores why they have played such an important role in the country since ancient times, how they`re represented in traditional and contemporary culture alike, and which breeds are most distinctly part of the canine craze.
Описание: Get an inside look at Japanese kokeshi dolls: their skilled makers, the devastation their home region has faced and a travel guide so you can get up close to these beloved pieces. Kokeshi are the simple and charming traditional Japanese dolls, characterized by their cylindrical shape and lack of arms and legs, carved from wood that are historically made in Japan's remote northern region of Tohoku. Crafted individually by artisans in bucolic mountainous villages, no two dolls are the same, and their imperfections are one of the appealing aspects of this folk craft. Though they originally started as children's toys made from scraps of wood, kokeshi dolls have become a popular collector's item and have even inspired manga and anime characters. Kokeshi expert Manami Okazaki has carried out extensive research for this comprehensive guide to everything you ever wanted to know about kokeshi dolls--from history, production methods, types of doll, and trends. Through interviews with artists, gorgeous photos and firsthand travel experience, Okazaki includes detailed information about both traditional dolls and the modern ones being crafted today. In this book, readers will find:
A guide to visiting Japan's kokeshi regions
Information on how to buy the dolls--either directly from the Japanese makers or stockists worldwide
The work of 2 U.S.-based kokeshi artisans
Interviews with leading Japanese craftsmen
Answers to common questions about kokeshi
An exploration of the cultural significance of these dolls
How they've become a sort of mascot for their devastated home region of Fukushima

Описание: Shonen Knife—an all-female punk trio from Osaka, Japan—cultivated a global fan base that has included the likes of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore. Their 1998 album Happy Hour, filled with tunes about delicacies ranging from sushi to banana chips, encapsulates the band’s charming fusion of cuteness with punk rock cool. Tracing histories of food and josei rock in Japan, McCorkle Okazaki outlines the ways Shonen Knife has, over the last forty years, consistently used seemingly straightforward songs about food to comment on gender stereotypes in popular culture.

Описание: An engaging ethnography of Korean American immigrant families navigating the United States Both scholarship and popular culture on Asian American immigrant families have long focused on intergenerational cultural conflict and stereotypes about “tiger mothers” and “model minority” students. This book turns the tables on the conventional imagination of the Asian American immigrant family, arguing that, in fact, families are often on the same page about the challenges and difficulties navigating the U.S.’s racialized landscape. The book draws on a survey with over 200 Korean American teens and over one hundred parents to provide context, then focusing on the stories of five families with young adults in order to go in-depth, and shed light on today’s dynamics in these families. The book argues that Korean American immigrant parents and their children today are thinking in shifting ways about how each member of the family can best succeed in the U.S. Rather than being marked by a generational division of Korean vs. American, these families struggle to cope with an American society in which each of their lives are shaped by racism, discrimination, and gender. Thus, the foremost goal in the minds of most parents is to prepare their children to succeed by instilling protective character traits. The authors show that Asian American—and particularly Korean American—family life is constantly shifting as children and parents strive to accommodate each other, even as they forge their own paths toward healthy and satisfying American lives. This book contributes a rare ethnography of family life, following them through the transition from teenagers into young adults, to a field that has largely considered the immigrant and second generation in isolation from one another. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods and focusing on both generations, this book makes the case for delving more deeply into the ideas of immigrant parents and their teens about raising children and growing up in America – ideas that defy easy classification as “Korean” or “American.”
