Alexander Bennett shows how kendo evolved through a recurring process of "inventing tradition," which served the changing ideologies and needs of Japanese warriors and governments over the course of history. Kendo follows the development of Japanese swordsmanship from the aristocratic-aesthetic pretensions of medieval warriors in the Muromachi period, to the samurai elitism of the Edo regime, and then to the nostalgic patriotism of the Meiji state. Kendo was later influenced in the 1930's and 1940's by ultranationalist militarists and ultimately by the postwar government, which sought a gentler form of nationalism to rekindle appreciation of traditional culture among Japan's youth and to garner international prestige as an instrument of "soft power." Today kendo is becoming increasingly popular internationally. But even as new organizations and clubs form around the world, cultural exclusiveness continues to play a role in kendo's ongoing evolution, as the sport remains closely linked to Japan's sense of collective identity. 606 $aKendo 606 $aSwordplay$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aKendo. 615 0$aSwordplay 676 $a796.86 700 $aBennett$b Alexander$01044039 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461006803321 996 $aKendo$92469419 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03465nas 2200829-a 450 001 9910131733803321 005 20240916213021.0 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2401991-4 035 $a(CKB)110978978551211 035 $a(CONSER)---83644923- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110978978551211 100 $a19820921a19829999 --- b 101 0 $apor 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aPensamiento iberoamericano 210 $a[Madrid, Spain] $cInstituto de Cooperación Iberoamericana$d1982- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $a"Revista de economía política." 300 $aSome issues have also distinctive titles. 300 $aPublished: Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional, 2007; Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo, 2008- 300 $aVolume for jul. 1993-jun. 1994 accompanied by computer file (1 3.5-inch high-density disk, MS-DOS). 311 08$aPrint version: Pensamiento iberoamericano. 0212-0208 (DLC) 83644923 (OCoLC)8790796 531 $aPENSAMIENTO IBEROAMERICANO REVISTA DE ECONOMIA POLITICA 531 0 $aPensam. iberoam. 606 $aPolicy sciences$vPeriodicals 606 $a83.32 economic policy$3(NL-LeOCL)077607163$2bcl 606 $aEconomic history$2fast 606 $aPolicy sciences$2fast 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast 606 $aCIENCIAS POLITICAS$xPUBLICACIONES PERIODICAS$2renib 606 $aECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT$2unbist 606 $aPOLITICAL CONDITIONS$2unbist 606 $aLATIN AMERICA$2unbist 606 $aSPAIN$2unbist 606 $aPORTUGAL$2unbist 607 $aLatin America$xEconomic conditions$y1945-$vPeriodicals 607 $aSpain$xEconomic conditions$y1975-2008$vPeriodicals 607 $aPortugal$xEconomic conditions$y1974-$vPeriodicals 607 $aLatin America$xPolitics and government$y1980-$vPeriodicals 607 $aLatin America$2fast 607 $aPortugal$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJxxjMbPKJH7yTMRfq7j4q 607 $aSpain$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJqFTrvj6Mhw6JfTGmqJDq 607 $aESPAÑA$xCONDICIONES ECONOMICAS$xPUBLICACIONES PERIODICAS$2renib 607 $aPORTUGAL$xCONDICIONES ECONOMICAS$xPUBLICACIONES PERIODICAS$2renib 607 $aAMERICA LATINA$xCONDICIONES ECONOMICAS$ySIGLO 20$xPUBLICACIONES PERIODICAS$2renib 607 $aAMERICA LATINA$xPOLITICA Y GOBIERNO$xPUBLICACIONES PERIODICAS$2renib 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 615 0$aPolicy sciences 615 7$a83.32 economic policy. 615 7$aEconomic history. 615 7$aPolicy sciences. 615 7$aPolitics and government. 615 7$aCIENCIAS POLITICAS$xPUBLICACIONES PERIODICAS. 615 07$aECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 615 07$aPOLITICAL CONDITIONS. 615 07$aLATIN AMERICA. 615 07$aSPAIN. 615 07$aPORTUGAL. 676 $a361.6/098 712 02$aInstituto de Cooperación Iberoamericana (Madrid, Spain) 712 02$aCentro Español de Estudios de América Latina. 712 02$aAgencia Española de Cooperación Internacional. 712 02$aAgencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo. 712 02$aFundación Carolina. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910131733803321 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aPensamiento Iberoamericano$91393442 997 $aUNINA
