• The 'Spirit' of Self-Sacrifice: Hiraizumi Kiyoshi (1895-1984) and the Perception of History in Imperial Japan, PART TWO: The Pacific War

  Neumann Florian (Single work)IngramSpark 2025/03 9784991309915 126 126 

  This book (the second of an altogether three parts series) examines the role of the Japanese historian Hiraizumi Kiyoshi during the Pacific War. As professor at Tokyo Imperial University Hiraizumi had developed the theoretic framework of the self-sacrificial death for the Emperor which became the ideological base for the kamikaze tactics during the war. The study also highlights Hiraizumi's connections to important men in power like former Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro and war-time Prime Minister Tojo Hideki. Hiraizumi was further connected to the coup d'etat attempt by radicalized Army officers in August 1945.
• The ‘Spirit’ of Self-Sacrifice: Hiraizumi Kiyoshi (1895-1984) and the Perception of History in Imperial Japan -- PART ONE Up to the Eve of Pearl Harbor

  Florian Neumann (Single work)IngramSpark 2023/07 9784991309908 143 143 

  Through what kind of historical narrative was Japanese fighting morale bolstered during World War Two? How was the kamikaze suicide method ideologically encouraged? This book-the first of two parts-analyzes the life and work of Hiraizumi Kiyoshi, the influential professor for Japanese Medieval History at Tōkyō Imperial University in the 1930s, who provided the academic basis for bracing the military and nation for the ultimate self-sacrifice in the name of the Emperor. This study leads up right to the eve of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, detailing the formative phase of Hiraizumi's ideology as well as his many connections to high-ranking persons in politics and the military of Imperial Japan. The second volume, that will be published in 2025, will examine Hiraizumi's part in the Pacific War and his role as a conservative influencer in the postwar period.

  After having my doctoral thesis about of the right-wing constitutional professor Uesugi Shinkichi (1878-1929) published in Germany in 2011, I am expanding my research on the political thought by Japanese thinkers on the far right before 1945. Therefore in 2014, I wrote an article about Satomi Kishio (1897-1974), followed 2015 by a longer two part text about Okawa Shumei. Both texts examine Okawas thoughts and actions chronologically against the background of his times, while putting the emphasis on his activities after his release from prison in 1937 until his indictment as a war criminal in 1946, since the later period of his life has not been explored widely in non-Japanese publications yet. In 2017, I published an article on the historian Hiraizumi Kiyoshi (1895-1984), that explores his ideological development until the year 1936. It will be followed by two more sections about Hiraizumi (The times of war, 1937-1945 / The postwar period) during the course of 2017.
