This work studies three major eighteenth-century nativist scholars in Japan: Kada no Azumamaro, Kamo no Mabuchi, and the celebrated Motoori Norinaga. Nosco demonstrates that these three, frequently depicted as the formulators of a rabid exenophobic nationalism, were intellectuals engaged in a quest for meaning, wholeness, and solace in what they perceived to be disordered times.Nosco, Peter is the author of 'Remembering Paradise Nativism and Nostalgia in 18th Century Japan' with ISBN 9780674760073 and ISBN 0674760077.
