Fantasy in the Japanese History Textbook ( Nihonshi kyoukasho no naka no fantajii )
Akira Okada
Is it truly a virtue for a samurai to perform a ritual suicide in attempt to redeem his master from dishonor? Is the Emperor system of Japan just a tradition to ‘sustain an unbroken line of Emperors’? Analyzing descriptions in Japan’s history textbooks, this book reveals that the never-doubted history of this ‘beautiful country’ is nothing but a fantasy tactfully fused into Japan’s education. A5 size. 120 pp.
