‎Antiquarians of Nineteenth Century Japan: The Archaeology of Things in the Late Tokugawa and Early Meiji Periods‎

‎Suzuki, Hiroyuki. edited and translated by Maki Fukuoka: Antiquarians of Nineteenth Century Japan: The Archaeology of Things in the Late Tokugawa and Early Meiji Periods. 2022. 224 pages, 4 colour and 25 black and white illustrations, 2 tables. Hardback. 25 x 17cms. Study of the differences in object-based research across the late Tokugawa and early Meiji periods, which were typically kept separate. Focusing on the top-down effects of the professionalizing of academia in the political landscape of Meiji Japan, which had advanced by attacking earlier modes of scholarship by antiquarians, Suzuki shows how those outside the government responded, retracted, or challenged new public rules and values. He explores the changing process of evaluating objects from the past in tandem with the attitudes and practices of antiquarians during the period of Japan's rapid modernization. He shows their roots in the intellectual sphere of the late Tokugawa period while also detailing how they adapted to the new era. Suzuki also demonstrates that Japan's antiquarians had much in common with those from Europe and the United States.‎
