About the Book Series

Contributions are actively sought from both early career and established scholars seeking to present cutting-edge research on topics related to contemporary, modern and pre-modern Japan in the humanities and social sciences, with cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary work being particularly welcome. Informal enquiries about potential publications can be made to the series editors, Dr Saori Shibata and Dr Thomas McAuley.
