PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
Take a historical look at the virulent and violent phenomena called "ultra-nationalism" in Japan. Professor Befu starts with loyalty toward the feudal overlords during the Tokugawa era, and shows how it was transmuted and elevated after the Meiji Restoration in 1868 into loyalty toward the concept of Japan as embodied in the divine person of the emperor. He then goes on to show why, despite many successes in the late 19th and early 20th century, Japan continued to feel threatened, beleaguered, and misunderstood - feelings which resulted, ultimately, in the manifestation of "ultra-nationalism."
