Fire Across the Sea: The Vietnam War and Japan 1965-1975 (Princeton Legacy Library)
(Thomas Havens vividly depicts the impact of the Vietnam W...)
Thomas Havens vividly depicts the impact of the Vietnam War on America’s most important Pacific ally. “Fire on the opposite shore” is how Japanese often describe a major event of Japanese antiwar organizations to portray the war as much more than a “fire across the sea” and to create new forms of activism in a country where individuals have traditionally left public issues to the authorities. The Japanese rallied, marched, and agitated against American actions in Indochina in the late 1960s, forming the biggest antiwar movement in their history, but they failed to keep Prime Minister Satō from his perhaps reluctant support of the United States. This path-breaking study examines not only the methods of the protestors but the tightrope dance performed by Japanese officials forced to balance outspoken antiwar sentiment with treaty obligations to the United States. The author fully describes the erosion of Japanese awe of the United States, beginning with the first bombings of North Vietnam in 1965, and the growth of antiwar organizations that coalesced into a Japanese “New Left.” As in the United States, the issues were complex. Waging the war from vital staging areas in Japan, American decision makers wanted to protect potential Japanese economic opportunities in Indochina. Japan in spite of the protestors, earned at least one billion dollars a year from war-related sales, traded its nonmilitary support of the war for the reversion of Okinawa in 1972, and profited from the conflict generally, as it rose to become the leading economic power of Southeast Asia and eventually to make inroads into U.S. markets. Here is a comprehensive study of how such ambiguities changed Japanese perceptions in the post-Vietnam system of international relations.

Nishi Amane and Modern Japanese Thought (Princeton Legacy Library)
( A nineteenth-century aristocrat, Nishi Amane (1829-1897...)
A nineteenth-century aristocrat, Nishi Amane (1829-1897) was one of the first Japanese to assert the supremacy of Western culture. He was sent by his government to Leiden to study the European social sciences; on his return to Japan shortly before the climactic Meiji Restoration of 1868 he introduced and adapted European utilitarianism and positivism to his country's intellectual world. To modernize, Nishi held, Japan must cast off the bonds of the Confucian world-view in order to adopt new principles of empirical scholarly investigation and new standards of self-improvement. Though a Confucian by upbringing, Nishi became thoroughly committed to Western intellectual values in his programs for the new Japanese society. In his roles of teacher, writer, and government administrator, he was influential at one of the most critical times in Japan's history. Originally published in 1970.

The interrelated Seibu and Saison enterprise groups have shaped Japanese consumer culture and made the Tsutsumi family fabulously rich. Beginning with the colorful founder, Yasujiro Tsutsumi, Thomas Havens traces the family's fortunes through the rise of its various companies. He examines the strategic thinking, management styles, and marketing techniques of Yasujiro and his sons; explains how the companies have prospered outside Japan's zaibatsu and keiretsu business establishments; and demonstrates how the Seibu enterprises have shifted Japanese culture from a frugal, hardworking society to a New Breed that takes affluence for granted.
