Obsessions With the Sino-japanese Polarity in Japanese Literature

About this book

"Challenging the modern equation of China with geographical otherness, spirituality/textuality, masculinity, and tradition, this rich and nuanced study allows complex and dynamic perceptions of China to emerge, Sakaki's grasp of postmodern thought, her engagement with both Japanese and Western scholarship, and her sensitivity of Chinese culture and literature make this a valuable contribution to understanding the history of cultural interactions in the region."--Jacket.
