Zustand: New. KlappentextThis book examines the history of drugs in Japan over four centuries, from the early modern period through the present day, showing how the definition, consumption, and regulation of substances both shaped and reflected trends.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In early modern Japan, upper status groups coveted pills and powders made of exotic foreign ingredients such as mummy and rhinoceros horn. By the early twentieth century, over-the-counter-patent medicines, and, more alarmingly, morphine, had become mass commodities, fueling debates over opiates in Japan's expanding imperial territories. The fall of the empire and the occupation of Japan by the United States created conditions favorable for heroin use, followed, in time, by glue sniffing and psychedelic mushroom ingestion. By illuminating the neglected history of drugs, this volume highlights both the transnational embeddedness and national peculiarities of the 'politics of consumption' in Japan.
