| Abstract |
This article employs smell to examine Japanese encounters with others late in the early-modern period. In the past scholars have approached this topic primarily from an ocularcentric point of view by ...identifying outward appearance, such as facial hair and ornaments, as the crucial component of Japanese constructions of otherness. In order to move beyond this visual emphasis, this article instead features olfactory experiences, especially those related to Japanese encounters with meat-eating as practiced by Westerners. Focusing on the city of Nagasaki, the article demonstrates how smells associated with foreigners and their dietary practices served as a powerful vehicle through which Japanese configured themselves against foreignness.show more
