- Abstract
The article is a book review of "Demarcating Japan: Imperialism, Islanders, and Mobility, 1855–1884" by Takahiro Yamamoto. The book explores the border politics of Japan in the second half of the 19th century, focusing on five contested border zones. It delves into individual life stories and conversations to shed light on the territorialization of the Japanese state and the role of mobility in shaping its borders. The review praises the author's attention to detail and highlights the potential of this approach for historians of Japan and maritime history.
