Abstract
- Here, Koikari disrupts depoliticized ties between the marginalized people of the Tohoku region and indigenous Hawaiians, critiquing the erasures of Japanese and Western imperialism in the romanticized tropes of "paradise" and "healing." Moreover, Koikari highlights the proliferation of language that reinforces connections between manhood and the military through the resurrection of an ostensible martial "inheritance", namely, I bushido i . Moreover, Koikari underscores the ways in which exhortations to take responsibility for recovery and risk containment are couched in national(ist) terms that uncritically hark back to the troubling language and mindsets of imperial and wartime Japan while repackaging Japan's military as primarily a humanitarian entity.
