| Details | Analysis of Edo period Japanese folk songs to provide historical perspectives on contemporary Japanese attitudes towards whaling. It reveals the extent of connection between historical whaling industry and community identity, and helps to explain resistance to anti-whaling campaigns, which overlook this significant aspect of local economy. Builds on two previous papers analysing practices and attitudes evident in 50 songs associated with Edo period Japanese whaling. |
