The Little Book of Japanese Mythology

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This book illuminates the largely neglected contribution of unpaid, primarily female household labour to economic production and living standards in Japan from the early modern period to the eve of World War Two.


The difficulties involved in measuring time devoted to housework and other forms of household labour in the past have meant that most attempts to assess the process of industrialisation have failed to recognise the ways in which such labour is essential to the sustainability and welfare of the population. In this context, Japan presents a significant example of a historical case of industrialisation occurring within an economy that continued to be dominated by the institution of the household. This short study argues that this must have led to a particularly significant underestimation of Japanese living standards in the past, with implications for comparative and global analysis, and to neglect of the key role of women in the historical economy. Providing a nuanced yet concise analysis, this book will be valuable reading for scholars of economic history and feminist economics, as well as introducing important comparative angles for researchers in Japanese studies and gender studies more widely.

A New Domestic Commerce

The Eighteenth-Century London Upholder

This book undertakes an in-depth exploration of the pivotal role of rice, which is the world's most essential food crops, sustaining over half of the global populace. It meticulously analyzes how rice cultivation constitutes the material bedrock and defining characteristic in the evolution of Asian civilization. Additionally, it scrutinizes rice culture, which holds sway as the traditional mainstream in China and the majority of countries in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. The author, with an extensive background in archaeological research within the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, anchors the specific content of this volume in materials sourced from this region. The book then proceeds to engage in a comprehensive inquiry into the fundamental question of the origin of rice cultivation, drawing on archaeological evidence, historical records, and interdisciplinary perspectives to offer a nuanced understanding of this significant aspect of human history. The book is divided into six chapters, which describe and analyze the origin, evolution and development of rice farming in the world and focus on the rich and diverse cultural styles and diversity characteristics of rice cultivation civilization in various parts of Asia due to geographical location and regional environmental differences.

The Origin of the Rice Culture

This book explores how public history, a field developing globally, is gaining attention in Japan and being incorporated into existing Japanese academic studies and practices. Public history in Japan is conducted through an interdisciplinary approach, involving not only history but also folklore, sociology, cultural studies, and tourism studies.Introducing the perspective of public history means more than just applying an imported discipline to Japan; it involves a broad reconsideration of existing scholarly research and practices. Part I of the book provides an overview of the current state of academia in Japan as described above. Part II presents several case studies of public history practices, digital public history, and museums and archives dealing with difficult aspects of the past such as minority issues and environmental pollution in postwar Japan.This book not only illustrates the current state of public history in Japan but also offers a glimpse into the internationalization of today's public history, fostering active exchanges among researchers and practitioners worldwide.

Public History in Japan

Ancient temples, haunted bridges, and spectral women—discover 87 supernatural tales where&nbsp;Kyoto’s history and&nbsp;Buddhist&nbsp;lore entwine with restless spirits,&nbsp;Hungry Ghosts, and the rituals that keep them at bay. In&nbsp;Kyoto, ghosts are not just stories—they are neighbors, warnings, and, sometimes, protectors. This atmospheric collection gathers 87 supernatural legends from Japan’s former capital, where every street corner, shrine, and cherry tree harbors its own haunting. From the fires of&nbsp;Obon&nbsp;guiding the ancestors home to the Demon’s Gate and the wells said to lead straight to Hell, each tale pulses with the city’s living relationship to the otherworld. Meet vengeful onryo,&nbsp;Hungry Ghosts&nbsp;with insatiable cravings, and poetic spirits trapped in the Six Realms. Witness monks who bargain with the King of Hell, statues that bleed or move, and women whose longing lingers for centuries. These stories are drawn from centuries-old chronicles, temple lore, and the whispered warnings of&nbsp;Kyoto&nbsp;cab drivers. Written with the intimacy of a local and the curiosity of a folklorist, this book is a rare English-language treasury of Japanese ghost stories—perfect for readers fascinated by&nbsp;yokai,&nbsp;Buddhist&nbsp;afterlife, and the mysterious rituals that shape Kyoto’s everyday life. These tales will change the way you see the city—and what walks its shadowed lanes.
