  A critical rethinking of theories of national imagination, this book offers the reading to date in English of one of modern Japan's poets and novelists, Shimazaki Toson (1872-1943). It also reveals how Toson's works influenced the production of a fluid, shifting form of national imagination that has characterized twentieth-century Japan.
