Examines how late nineteenth and early twentieth century Japanese historians created the equivalent of an 'Orient' for their new nation state. This title argues that the Japanese attempted to use a variety of pasts - Chinese, Indian, and proto-historic Japanese - to construct an identity that was both modern and Asian.
