good read too. covers how japanese home islanders perceived the people and places they conquered, as well as how tourism campaigns shaped their thinking, even as goals shifted over time. really get a sense of the attitudes through the diaries and convos shown in the book too

very focused history of a specific business, but it def shows the greater trend of taisho/showa era development of the consumer-subject and how that was kept up even as the war dragged on. good showcase of how personal connections was crucial to making big businesses in the era. good stuff

have not been updating this thread like i should have. excellent book, allison has some of the best analysis of eromanga i've seen in a book like this, and tying it into mothering as the state encouraged field of work for women is very insightful. def worth reading

i will see to it that they are sent to some New Schools if you need my services
