This talk will introduce Hannah Shepherd’s new book, The Narrowing Sea, via vignettes of the imperial region that developed across the Tsushima Straits between Pusan and Fukuoka in the seven decades from 1876 to 1953. It will offer the imperial region as a useful scale of analysis and connection between other imperial histories, and connect the urbanization of the imperial era with contemporary Japan’s urban issues, before ending with a glimpse of new work that continues some of the histories and legacies discussed in The Narrowing Sea.
