Perilous Memories makes a groundbreaking and critical intervention into debates about war memory in the Asia-Pacific region. Arguing that much is lost or erased when the Asia-Pacific War(s) are reduced to the 1941–1945 war between Japan and the United States, this collection challenges mainstream memories of the Second World War in favor of what were actually multiple, widespread conflicts. The contributors recuperate marginalized or silenced memories of wars throughout the region—not only in Japan and the United States but also in China, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, Okinawa, Taiwan, and Korea.
Firmly based on the insight that memory is always mediated and that the past is not a stable object, the volume demonstrates that we can intervene positively yet critically in the recovery and reinterpretation of events and experiences that have been pushed to the peripheries of the past. The contributors—an international list of anthropologists, cultural critics, historians, literary scholars, and activists—show how both dominant and subjugated memories have emerged out of entanglements with such forces as nationalism, imperialism, colonialism, racism, and sexism. They consider both how the past is remembered and also what the consequences may be of privileging one set of memories over others. Specific objects of study range from photographs, animation, songs, and films to military occupations and attacks, minorities in wartime, “comfort women,” commemorative events, and postwar activism in pursuing redress and reparations.
Perilous Memories is a model for war memory intervention and will be of interest to historians and other scholars and activists engaged with collective memory, colonial studies, U.S. and Asian history, and cultural studies.

Using ceremonials such as imperial weddings and funerals as models, T. Fujitani illustrates what visual symbols and rituals reveal about monarchy, nationalism, city planning, discipline, gender, memory, and modernity. Focusing on the Meiji Period (1868-1912), Fujitani brings recent methods of cultural history to a study of modern Japanese nationalism for the first time..

Description:
The effects of types of low-pressure impactors (DLPI; Dekati; referred to hereinafter as ''LPI''; and NanoMOUDI-II; MSP) and impaction substrate materials (aluminum foils, quartz fiber filters, and polycarbonate filters) on mass size distribution were studied for diesel exhaust particles from dynamometer test (DEP) and roadside atmospheric particles for a better understanding in terms of chemical analysis of impactor sample. Particle mass size distribution measured with LPI using aluminum foils and polycarbonate filters was distorted toward smaller mode diameters than those measured with NanoMOUDI using aluminum foils in sampling DEP and roadside atmospheric particles. This difference is explained by the occurrence of particle blow off in LPI. Heavy loading due to high concentrations in a specific size range results in greater particle loading height, from which particles are easily blown off by high jet velocities. Mass size distribution of DEP measured with LPI using a quartz fiber filter was modified to larger mode diameter than that measured with NanoMOUDI using aluminum foils. Higher particle collection efficiency than the ideal condition and smaller particles than the calibrated size, collected on upper stages, resulted in larger mode diameter, owing to the occurrence of filtration as well as impaction, and a shorter jet-to-plate distance, owing to the thickness of the filter. On the other hand, mass size distribution of roadside atmospheric particles measured with LPI using quartz fiber filters was similar to that measured with NanoMOUDI using aluminum foils. It is possible that the artifact of filtration is not important because of lower particle concentrations in the roadside atmosphere than in DEP. This experimental study of mass size distributions with various impactor types and substrate materials will enhance our understanding of the size distribution of chemical components, because impaction substrate material is restricted from methods of chemical analysis even though each substrate material has different collection characteristics. .
