I made a point of reading at least one article a day (but usually many more), until I had finished it. It really was, and is, a great overview of Japanese pop culture. I certainly still recommend it, however 12-years later, it is certainly looking dated. I would certainly love to see a second edition published with more content from the last decade! ( ) This book is so intimidating. It's massive, but thankfully it included a lot of information about nearly everything you could ever want to know about Japanese culture. If an odd topic of some underground Japanese subculture were to ever come up in conversation and I didnt know what it was, I'm sure I could run to this book and find out. Unfortunately, I dont have the time, or willpower, to read this whole thing, or even a forth of it. Though entertaining, it's more like a reference or coffee table book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In the West, Japanese culture comes in the form of Power Rangers, Godzilla movies, and Sanrio products, but of course the indigenous pop culture is much richer. Rather than focus on what the rest of the world has already encountered, Mark Schilling provides an encyclopedic compendium of books, movies, music, comedians, and cultural scandals that have had the greatest impact in Japan. Thus, for the outsider, The Encyclopedia of Japanese Pop Culture is an insider's guide to post-war Japan. Not content to simply catalog his entries, Schilling provides real depth and analysis in his articles, opening up Japan's rich pop heritage to the world at large.
