Abstract:
The reality and idea of Korea South and North have increasingly become a necessary foil to Japanese

debates over the meaning of Japan. With Japanese society profoundly divided over the course of its future,

debates concerning the nation’s legal redefinition of its military are at the center of the conversation, and

security concerns over North Korean weapons testing weigh heavily in the mix. Additional rifts over questions

about the emperor’s role and the reach of the state, for example, also often reference Korea at least the

 idea of Korea and Koreans in their discussion. This talk addresses present realities, real histories,

and the use of Korea in Japan today.
