Information About

Journal Of Japanese Studies




The journal consists of articles, papers from symposium, and an extensive book review section. Since the Summer 1983 edition (Vol. 9, No. 1) the journal has generally included a section for comments and opinions on controversial issues in the field and to introduce questions for scholarly debate. This policy formally recognized the de facto role of the journal as a means of communicating and debating long-standing differences in the field. This change probably occurred in response to a series of controversial debates concerning the work of E.H. Norman, a Canadian historian of Japan.

A glance at a few recent issues of the journal reveals a nearly even split between articles in the fields of Literature , History , and Political Science , as well as occasional articles in the field of Anthropology .

The journal is published twice a year, Winter and Summer. Recent issues can be found on ProjectMuse , and issues older than 5 years can be found on JSTOR .
