Nihonjinron (日本人論: treatises on Japaneseness) is a genre of historical and literary work that focuses on issues of Japanese national and cultural identity.[1]
Nihonjinron literature flourished during a publishing boom popular after World War II, with books and articles aiming to analyze, explain, or explore Japanese culture and cultural mindset. These topics might include Japanese language, or Japanese sensibilities, including popular mass market Japanese social psychology and social studies, such as the concept of a "vertical society" and Takeo Doi's "indulgence and dependence," "the hollow onion" society, and "the spirit of the language" (kotodama); and Shūzō Kuki's "chic" (iki) or a "radiant culture," as well as the anthropological works of Chie Nakane, or the social history of Yasusuke Murakami.[1][2]
