The books have been translated into Japanese more than 500 times, resulting in more editions of these works in Japanese than any other language except English. Generations of Japanese children learned English from textbooks containing Alice excerpts. Japan's internationally famous fashion vogue, Lolita, merges Alice with French Rococo style. In Japan Alice is everywhere--in manga, literature, fine art, live-action film and television shows, anime, video games, clothing, restaurants, and household goods consumed by people of all ages and genders. In Alice in Japanese Wonderlands, Amanda Kennell traverses the breadth of Alice's Japanese media environment, starting in 1899 and continuing through 60s psychedelia and 70s intellectual fads to the present, showing how a set of nineteenth-century British children's books became a vital element in Japanese popular culture. Using Japan's myriad adaptations to investigate how this modern media landscape developed, Kennell reveals how Alice connects different fields of cultural production and builds cohesion out of otherwise disparate media, artists, and consumers. The first sustained examination of Japanese Alice adaptations, her work probes the meaning of Alice in Wonderland as it was adapted by a cast of characters that includes the "father of the Japanese short story," RyuÌnosuke Akutagawa; the renowned pop artist Yayoi Kusama; and the best-selling manga collective CLAMP. While some may deride adaptive activities as mere copying, the form Alice takes in Japan today clearly reflects domestic considerations and creativity, not the desire to imitate. By engaging with studies of adaptation, literature, film, media, and popular culture, Kennell uses Japan's proliferation of Alices to explore both Alice and the Japanese media environment"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a A Re-introduction -- RyuÌnosuke Akutagawa in the Shadow of Early Alice Translations -- Yayoi Kusama, the Modern Alice (Through the Looking-Glass) -- A Profusion of Alices Flutter through Manga for Girls and Boys -- Detecting Alice on Page, Screen, and Street -- In Conclusions. 600 00 $a Alice $c (Fictitious character from Carroll) $x In popular culture. 600 10 $a Carroll, Lewis, $d 1832-1898 $x Adaptations. 600 07 $a Alice $c (Fictitious character from Carroll) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805040 600 17 $a Carroll, Lewis, $d 1832-1898. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00035896 650 0 $a Japanese $x Social life and customs $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Japanese $x Social life and customs $x Social life and customs $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Nonsense literature, English $x Appreciation $z Japan. 650 7 $a Literature $x Adaptations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999955 651 7 $a Japan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204082 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kennell, Amanda. $t Alice in Japanese wonderlands $d Honolulu : University of HawaiÊ»i Press, 2023 $z 9780824896874 $w (DLC) 2022058162 830 0 $a Asia pop! 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025952.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EF8E710456B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
