Howell looks beneath the surface structures of the Japanese state to reveal the mechanism by which markers of polity, status, and civilization came together over the divide of the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Howell illustrates how a short roster of malleable, explicitly superficial customs-hairstyle, clothing, and personal names- served to distinguish the "civilized" realm of the Japanese from the "barbarian" realm of the Ainu in the Tokugawa era. Within the core polity, moreover, these same customs distinguished members of different social status groups from one another, such as samurai warriors from commoners, and commoners from outcasts. 606 $aAinu$xEthnic identity 607 $aJapan$xCivilization$y19th century 607 $aJapan$xSocial conditions$y19th century 610 $aainu culture. 610 $aainu. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aassimilation. 610 $abarbarian. 610 $abarbarism. 610 $abunka. 610 $aburaku. 610 $aburakumin. 610 $aburakushi. 610 $acivilization. 610 $aclass. 610 $acommoner. 610 $acultural difference. 610 $acustom. 610 $adaimyo. 610 $aearly modern japan. 610 $aeast asia. 610 $afolk practices. 610 $afolk tradition. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese history. 610 $ameiji restoration. 610 $anation. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aothering. 610 $aoutcast. 610 $apeasant. 610 $apolity. 610 $arace. 610 $asamurai. 610 $asocial status. 610 $astatus. 610 $atokugawa. 615 0$aAinu$xEthnic identity. 676 $a306/.0952/09034 700 $aHowell$b David L$g(David Luke),$f1959-$01279445 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783389003321 996 $aGeographies of identity in nineteenth-century Japan$93672673 997 $aUNINA
