Abstract

The article discusses the book "Arbiters of Patriotism: Right-Wing Scholars in Imperial Japan" by John Person, which explores the role of the Genri Nippon Society in shaping nationalist ideologies in early Showa Japan. The book examines the intellectual upbringing of Mitsui Kōshi and Minoda Muneki, the central figures of the society, and their influences from psychology, poetry, and religious interpretations. It also delves into the societal and political impact of the society's ideas, including their relationship with the Japanese state and their involvement in academic persecution. The book provides valuable insights into early Showa political ideology and offers a broader understanding of intellectual culture during wartime Japan. [Extracted from the article]
