Synopsis:
In this, the first collection in English of feminist-oriented research on Japanese art and visual culture, an international group of scholars examines representations of women in a wide range of visual work. The volume begins with Chino Kaori's now-classic essay "Gender in Japanese Art," which introduced feminist theory to Japanese art. This is followed by a closer look at a famous thirteenth-century battle scroll and the production of bijin (beautiful women) prints within the world of Edoperiod advertising. A rare homoerotic picture-book is used to extrapolate the "grammar of desire" as represented in late seventeenth-century Edo. In the modern period, contributors consider the introduction to Meiji Japan of the Western nude and oil-painting and examine Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) and the role of one of its famous artists. The book then shifts its focus to an examination of paintings produced for the Japanese-sponsored annual salons held in colonial Korea. The post-war period comes under scrutiny in a study of the novel Woman in the Dunes and its film adaptation. The critical discourse that surrounded women artists of the late twentieth-century - the "Super Girls of Art" - is analyzed, followed by a consideration of gender ambiguity and cross-gender identification in contemporary anime and manga.

The material ranges from medieval to modern topics, including 11 chapters discussing such topics as the image of women in battle scenes, the "westernization" of women's bodies during the Meiji period as a process of changing power, and the impact of the occupation of Korea on artistic images of women at the National Art Exhibitions.".
