Meiji & Taisho Scratch Noise: Unearthing Hidden Sounds of Early 20th Century Japan

This unique volume, 'Meiji & Taisho Scratch Noise,' delves into the distinctive sonic and cultural textures of Japan's pivotal Meiji (1868-1912) and Taisho (1912-1926) eras. It explores the 'scratch noise'—both literal and metaphorical—that characterized these periods of rapid modernization and societal change, investigating how these auditory artifacts and imperfections reflect the historical consciousness and cultural shifts. Published by Bungeisha, this insightful book offers a compelling examination of forgotten sounds, early media, and the subtle disruptions that shaped early 20th-century Japan. Note: The text is entirely in Japanese. Brand New Japanese Edition.
