This dissertation is a history of the early Japanese animation industry during the first half of the twentieth century. Over the last thirty years, animation has come to be one of the primary cultural exports coming out of Japan and the most visible example of Japanese soft power. However, the discourse of Japanese animation, or anime, focuses primarily on anime as a postwar object with roots in television and the American Occupation or as a pre-modern object with aesthetic connections to traditional Japanese art forms such as scrolls and painting. I argue that in addition to these pre-modern and postmodern influences, the current Japanese animation industry has deep roots modern imperialism that are still visible today, though they are often overlooked.

520 $a This dissertation is a history of the early Japanese animation industry during the first half of the twentieth century. Over the last thirty years, animation has come to be one of the primary cultural exports coming out of Japan and the most visible example of Japanese soft power. However, the discourse of Japanese animation, or anime, focuses primarily on anime as a postwar object with roots in television and the American Occupation or as a pre-modern object with aesthetic connections to traditional Japanese art forms such as scrolls and painting. I argue that in addition to these pre-modern and postmodern influences, the current Japanese animation industry has deep roots modern imperialism that are still visible today, though they are often overlooked.
520 $a This project is an effort to (re)introduce the modern period into the current discourse of anime. Chapter one summarizes the structure and development of the early industry through the critical discourse of animation. The early Japanese animation industry was heavily marginalized. It developed under the shadow of Western animation as well as foreign and domestic live action cinema. The industry did not develop beyond a small, boutique context until after 1945. But in the eyes of animators and critics, animation was seen as a medium that had unique value for reflecting the changing nature of modern life. The second chapter looks at the films in more detail, analyzing the relationship of the animated body to Japanese national identity under modernization and imperialism. The flexible, plastic bodies accommodated a wide range of ethnic and cultural identities that were sometimes contradictory as they relate to the nation. In chapter three, the focus is on the technology of animation, both on screen and behind the scenes. Animated film was part of a larger trend in popular culture that worked to normalize the more extreme elements of violence and death that are inherent to imperialism. Technological spectacle through animated film played a role in transforming imperialism into consumer culture for much of the prewar period. The conclusion considers the consistencies and differences of the contemporary animation industry with the early pre-war industry in order to track the deeper ideological issues that might still be at work.
