A bi-weekly newsletter curated by Christopher Gerteis (SOAS University of London), Japanese Modernity explores how contemporary Japan balances rapid societal change with its historical and cultural heritage. Our goal is to stimulate critical discussions on Japan from the Meiji to Reiwa eras.

We invite contributions from writers interested in examining these themes. To submit, please contact Christopher Gerteis at cg24@soas.ac.uk.
