A century on, the time is right to take a new look at its contents, as well as its history and the political, social and cultural context surrounding the donation. To commemorate its centenary, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) and the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) have joined forces to set up a special exhibition under the title ?Japan?s Book Donation to the University of Louvain. Japanese Cultural Identity and Modernity in the 1920s? (October 2022?January 2023), at the University Library of KU Leuven. The present book has been compiled for the occasion of the exhibition, to serve as a durable guide to the magnificent book donation and its historical background, and as a reference for further research in the future. In five essays by historians of politics, media, culture, and arts of Japan, it offers a richly illustrated overview of the history of the donation and its wider historical context, providing illuminating insights into the vibrant 1920s in Japan, its politics, society, and popular culture. The reader is further invited to explore a sample of 65 remarkable and rare items from the donation, which were carefully selected for inclusion in the exhibition and are provided here with a detailed description. Moreover, the reader is introduced to 41 representative items, including visually captivating commercial and political posters related to Japan?s modernity in the 1920s, which represent mass culture, progress, and tensions, and highlight both imperial ambitions and a willingness to contribute to international cooperation. 606 $aExhibition catalogues & specific collections$2bicssc 607 $aJapan$xCivilization$vExhibitions 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aJapan;Leuven;1920s;Donation;Interwar Period;Edo Period;Taisho Period;First World War;Philanthropy;Cultural Diplomacy;Pre-modern book history;Culture;Society;Media, Fashion;Art;Print;Emperor Hirohito 615 7$aExhibition catalogues & specific collections 676 $a306.40952 702 $aSchmidt$b Jan 702 $aWalle$b Willy Vande 712 02$aKatholieke Universiteit te Leuven (1970- ).$bUniversiteitsbibliotheek, 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597142303321 996 $aJapan's book donation to the University of Louvain$94157281 997 $aUNINA
