The author, a historian, examines how Japan adopted Western musical practices as part of a broader modernization agenda, which included the establishment of a national music and the marginalization of traditional Japanese music. The book is structured into three parts: the global context of musical modernity, Japan's national policies on music, and a case study of regional musical activities in Sendai. It emphasizes the interplay between Indigenous and Western music, illustrating how musical hybridity was fostered during this transformative period. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
