According to the secondary literature of the past decades, many features of Meiji Japan (1868-1912) that were regarded “traditionally Japanese” have been proven to be “invented traditions” of an era of building a modern nation and national consciousness as a part of modernization. Creating a nation state with strong nationalism followed the European developmental pattern, but was built on Japanese cultural traditions. One of the aims of the paper is to trace back the sources of this process, suggesting that premodern and culturalist conceptions of community were used, too. The paper try to suggest that in this respect, the Japanese cultural movement of forming a nation shows similarities not with the nation states of Western Europe (where nationalism strongly attached to modernity) but rather with the “national awakening” movements of the peoples of Central Europe, which have not been dealt with in the secondary literature yet.

Książka Dawida Głowni Początki kina w Japonii na tle przemian społeczno-politycznych kraju (2020) przedstawia szczegółowo narodziny kinematografii japońskiej – od sprowadzenia aparatury filmowej w 1897 r. i założenia pierwszych wielkich przedsiębiorstw, takich jak Nikkatsu, po początki cenzury filmowej, ustanowionej w wyniku „skandalu Zigomarowskiego” z 1912 r. Autor ukazuje kontekst społeczny, polityczny i kulturalny powstania kina w Japonii, odnosząc się m.in. do świata ulicznych rozrywek (misemono), do których początkowo zaliczano kinematograf, a także wojny rosyjsko-japońskiej, wydarzenia stymulującego rozwój branży filmowej. Szczegółowo omówiono także genezę benshi – narratorów komentujących pokazy wczesnych filmów. Procesy opisane przez Dawida Głownię zostały zestawione z narodzinami kina na ziemiach polskich na przełomie XIX i XX w.

Dawid Głownia’s book Początki kina w Japonii na tle przemian społeczno-politycznych kraju [The Beginnings of Cinema in Japan in the Context of the Country’s SocioPolitical Transformations] (2020) offers a detailed and comprehensive presentation of the birth of Japanese cinematography, from the importation of the film apparatus in 1897 and the establishment of the first major film companies such as Nikkatsu to the establishment of film censorship as a result of the “Zigomar scandal” of 1912. The author also presents manifold social, political and cultural contexts of the emergence of cinema in Japan, such as the world of street performances (misemono), which initially included the cinema, or the Russo-Japanese War, which stimulated the birth of the film industry. The origin of benshi, whose narration accompanied silent film screenings, is also discussed in detail. In the review, the processes described by Dawid Głownia are juxtaposed with the birth of cinema on Polish lands at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. 24

Emperor Hirohito (1901–1989) began his reign on December 25th, 1926. It was the beginning of a new era in Japanese history, an era that was named Shōwa (1926–1989; The Illuminated Peace). In all of Japanese history, it was the longest, and yet a very diverse, reign by a single emperor. Japan was undergoing democratization and modernization, then, due to internal crisis opposed to Western influences, led wars. After the wars Japan once again turned towards democratization and development, finally becoming the third largest economic power in the world. The Shōwa period can be divided into three main sub-periods: 1926–1945: democratization, nationalism and war; 1945–1952: occupation; 1952–1989: peace, democratization and economic growth. In a nutshell, the author presents the life and works of Emperor Hirohito along with the main events that took place during his reign.

This study traces the eventful history of the Janes’ Residence in Kumamoto City, southern Japan, from the beginning of its existence to the present day. The changes in use, condition and location of the building are explained and placed in a further global historical context. The Janes’ Residence was a western-style mansion built for the family of Leroy Lansing Janes, who was hired as a teacher at the Kumamoto Western School in 1871. Until the 1930s, it played an important role in international and domestic knowledge exchange as part of an educational institution and later as a component of the commercial museum and exhibition area in Kumamoto City. The latter function has been neglected in most literature and will therefore be considered here. The Janes’ Residence is known as the birthplace of the Japanese Red Cross Society. During the Satsuma Rebellion in 1877, the permission for the establishment of Hakuaisha, a relief organisation, was granted on its premises. An iconic building, the Janes’ Residence was owned by the Kumamoto Red Cross from 1932 to 1970. In a new and central location, it supported health services and miraculously escaped bomb damage during the Second World War. Thereafter, the Janes’ Residence became property of Kumamoto City and was moved next to the historical Suizenji Garden, where it served as a museum. Until it was completely destroyed by the Kumamoto Earthquake in 2016, the Janes’ Residence was the oldest preserved western style building in Kumamoto City and Prefecture.
