Features Cover Type: Hard Cover with 368 pages Published by: Routledge Edition: 1st Edition December 6, 2006 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 041597660X ISBN 13 Number: 978-0415976602 Book Dimensions: 9.1 x 6.1 x 1 inches Weighs: 1.3 pounds *Product Description* This book offers a history of Japanese television audiences and the popular media culture that television helped to spawn. In a comparatively short period, the television industry helped to reconstruct not only postwar Japanese popular culture, but also the Japanese social and political landscape. During the early years of television, Japanese of all backgrounds, from politicians to mothers, debated the effects on society. The public discourse surrounding the growth of television revealed its role in forming the identity of postwar Japanese during the era of high-speed growth (1955 - 1973) that saw Japan transformed into an economic power and one of the world's top exporters of television programming. *About The Author* Jayson Makoto Chun, raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, is an assistant professor of history at the University of Hawai'I - West O'ahu. He specializes in Japanese popular media culture and has written about the royal wedding of 1959, a key moment in Japanese TV history. Back To Top
