Nationalism is generally based on common feelings born from the same language, culture, and stock. Pressured from outside, the sense of "our country" is keenly felt, and a strong reaction often arises among the public. Not surprisingly such nationalistic dynamics can be found in the ancient times. As is described in Kojiki and Nihon-shoki, for example, the royal power performed religious rites at the Ise Shrine to worship an immortal god as the founder of the country. The aim was, of course, to form a nationalistic consensus around the common origin thus created.

If we remember the fact that classical literature was appropriated for propaganda in the wartime, we should not think it unnatural to study nationalism in classics. Indeed, at that time classical literature was used for a formation of the myth that the Constitution of Imprerial Japan was a "natural" law constructed on the pureblood imperial lineage. In spite of its status as a major classical work, Genji-monogatari said to the contrary that the "pureblood" doctrine was totally unfounded. In fact, there were some insightful scholars who made subtle and devious interpretations of the text in a way to covertly disprove the myth. Such a political problem of interpretation is not of the past but still actual even today.

Nationalism in literature shows itself not only in individual authors' patriotic ideas and opinions but also in the assimilation of foreign literature to one's own culture. In early modern times, Chinese literature was often adapted or Japanized to suit the country's peculiar Buddhism and Shintoism. The two Noh plays of Madam Yang, "Yokihi" and "Yokihi-monogatari," are precisely such nationalized foreign works. In both of them, the original narrative structure was ideologically transformed to work for nationalistic propaganda as in the plot of divine struggle and victory.

Around 1950, in the midst of the movement against the Peace Treaty in San Francisco, Tarusu Kim and Nangi Ho, both of Korean stock, were highly praised as "most nationalistic Japanese writers." Their radical and revolutionary discourses are still cited as an instance of the joint struggle and resistance between Japan and Korea against American imperialism. But the oversimplified image of the two writers seems very dangerous, for it turns them into the national subjects without any consideration to the complicated relations between the two races in history.

"Gon-gitsune," a short story for children by Nankichi Niimi, is thought to be one of the most representative Japanese stories. This is not because the story is acceptable in the light of the teaching guidelines of the Education Ministry but because it is an excellent text with educational as well as literary values. It is national in the true sense of the word. To make children have literary experiences by reading such a "grass-roots" text will be an effective countermeasure to the recent reactionary move to instill nationalism by means of teaching kokugo.
