To explore the widely varying circumstances of childhood during the Japanese transition to modernity, the volume presents survey studies and "snapshots" of historical moments by authors from Europe, Japan, and North America. These histories of children and childhood address various thematic aspects, from birth and child-rearing to the representation of childhood in literary works, and these are approached from differing angles, in terms of theoretical perspectives and methodology. The contributions display a particular awareness for the problem of sources in writing the history of childhood and youth. In doing so, they provide precious insights into notions of childhood and children's living circumstances, also beyond the urban centres of evolving modern Japan. Exploring a wealth of sources including autobiographies, educational essays, government documents, children's literature, youth journals and medical manuals, this will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Japanese history, children's studies, the history of education and social policy more broadly"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Children |zJapan |xHistory. 650 0 Children |zJapan |xSocial conditions. 650 0 Parent and child |zJapan |xHistory. 650 0 Child rearing |zJapan |xHistory. 651 0 Japan |xHistory |yRestoration, 1853-1870. 650 6 Enfants |zJapon |xConditions sociales. 650 6 Parents et enfants |zJapon |xHistoire. 650 6 Éducation des enfants |zJapon |xHistoire. 651 6 Japon |xHistoire |y1853-1870 (Restauration) 700 1 Galan, Christian, |eeditor. 700 1 Salomon, Harald, |eeditor. 776 08 |iOnline version: |tHistories of children and childhood in Meiji Japan |dAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2024 |z9781003128069 |w(DLC) 2023038182 902 610108351 |wcopy |120241009135024.0 910 |cF0501mon |d3110-10 |gYBP 914 (OCoLC)on1396806228 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20241016 |eprocessed |f1396806228 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fMJH |m311010 |nCloth 980 20417379 |i180.00 982 |cf 984 20240819 |b100743 |cYBP-US
