Summary

How can ecocriticism and ecology-conscious scholars engage with Japanese literature and culture? This volume attempts to provide the most updated answers to this question. The contributors place themselves inside the domestic fields of production of works of art and express their concerns and ideas for the English-speaking spheres of the world. Taking up subjects ranging from the eleventh-century novel The Tale of Genji, the post-WWII atomic bombing literature by women, to the recent TV anime Coppelion-a production that foresaw a devastating nuclear disaster after the Great East Japan Earthquake-this volume extricates and discusses innate, complex values of the Japanese people and culture in terms of nature and environment.
