Reviews
Aso has provided an excellent, and much-needed, history of exhibition spaces and practices in twentieth-century imperial Japan. This study fills an important gap in English-language museum studies scholarship and will be useful reading for scholars of Japanese history, twentieth-century visual culture, and colonial studies., "[A]n important contribution to the emerging scholarship on museums as public properties in Japan during the Imperial period and is one for those interested in Japanese history, art history and museum studies." , [ Public Properties is] of interest to Japan and East Asia scholars as well as museum studies specialists.... [The] book is a welcome addition to one of the most vibrant recent areas of scholarly attention, the place of aesthetics in the creation of modern Japanese nationalism., " Public Properties demonstrates that Japan's development of museums reflected its growth into a modern nation-state. Yet the book is more than a history of the museum in modern Japan. Noriko Aso offers a comprehensive account of how public and private institutions came together in the formation of national and imperial ideals, pointing out how museums in Japan's colonies were conceived to take advantage of local conditions while emphasizing the larger mission of empire."-- Stefan Tanaka , author of New Times in Modern Japan, " Public Properties will be an important book in Japanese history and intersecting fields including colonial studies, public culture, art history, and museum studies. Noriko Aso shows how integral a modern museum culture was to the formation of an 'imperial public' in Japan during the late nineteenth century and early twentieth. She provides original perspectives on questions of collective identity and political culture during the imperial era and sheds new light on key issues in the field of modern Japanese history."- Leslie Pincus , author of Authenticating Culture in Imperial Japan: Kuku Shuzo and the Rise of National Aesthetics, . . . this book could easily be used as an exciting portal for introducing students to diverse aspects of modern Japanese history and its clever theoretical framework will undoubtedly serve Japan scholars well., Aso's study is an intriguing, and refreshingly straightforward, examination of the shaping of the Japanese public.... This is a remarkably accessible text highlighting a set of ideas with implications and lessons that reach far beyond the case study's time and place and straight into the musings of museum studies today, complete with reproductions of historical photographs, documentation and other ephemera that add a welcome visual touchstone to Aso's detailed accounts., " Public Properties demonstrates that Japan's development of museums reflected its growth into a modern nation-state.

No reader will fail to be edified by this thoughtful and instructive study., " Public Properties will be an important book in Japanese history and intersecting fields including colonial studies, public culture, art history, and museum studies.

Synopsis
Public Properties is a historical account of how museums in Japan and its empire contributed to the reimagining of state and society during Japan's imperial era, from 1868 until 1945., In the late nineteenth century, Japan's new Meiji government established museums to showcase a national aesthetic heritage. Inspired by Western museums and expositions, these institutions were introduced by government officials hoping to spur industrialization and self-disciplined public behavior, and to cultivate an "imperial public" loyal to the emperor. Japan's network of museums expanded along with its colonies. By the mid-1930s, the Japanese museum system had established or absorbed institutions in Taiwan, Korea, Sakhalin, and Manchuria. Not surprising, colonial subjects' views of Japanese imperialism differed from those promulgated by the Japanese state. Meanwhile, in Japan, philanthropic and commercial museums were expanding, revising, and even questioning the state-sanctioned aesthetic canon. Public Properties describes how museums in Japan and its empire contributed to the reimagining of state and society during the imperial era, despite vigorous disagreements about what was to be displayed, how, and by whom it was to be seen.

- i***m (160)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe estimated delivery date was way off as I didn’t receive my item until 2 weeks later. I asked to cancel my order as dispatch was taking too long which the seller rejected even though I didn’t get a dispatch notification until several days after the request. The customer service comes across as scripted and it takes ages to get a response. Not a good experience, I’m afraid. I won’t be using this store again.
