Journal of Japanese Studies
- Journal of Japanese Studies
The Journal of Japanese Studies (or JJS for short) is the only interdisciplinary journal exclusively dedicated to Japanese Studies in the United States. It is published twice a year by the Society for Japanese Studies at the University of Washington. The journal began in Autumn 1974 with Kenneth Pyle and Susan Hanley as its first editors. The journal is now edited by Marie Anchordoguy and John Whittier Treat. Financial support for the journal has varied over the years, but has notably included donations from the Ford Foundation, the Japan Foundation, University of Washington, and the Japan-U.S. Friendship Committee.
The journal consists of articles, papers from symposium, and an extensive book review section. Since the Summer 1983 edition (Vol. 9, No. 1) the journal has generally included a section for comments and opinions on controversial issues in the field and to introduce questions for scholarly debate. This policy formally recognized the de facto role of the journal as a means of communicating and debating long-standing differences in the field. This change probably occurred in response to a series of controversial debates concerning the work of E.H. Norman, a Canadian historian of Japan.
A glance at a few recent issues of the journal reveals a nearly even split between articles in the fields of literature, history, and political science, as well as occasional articles in the field of anthropology.
The journal is published twice a year, Winter and Summer. Recent issues can be found on ProjectMuse, and issues older than 5 years can be found on JSTOR.
Indexes
The Winter 1985 (Vol. 11, No. 1) and the Summer 1989 (Vol.15, No. 2) issues contain author indexes for each category in which the magazine is organized: Symposium, Articles, Opinion and Comment, and Book Reviews.
