and despised people. This
image was reinforced by
Western literary works like
The Merchant ,of Venice, the
first of Shakespeare's
plays to be translated into
Japanese.
The notorious Protocols of
the Elders of Zion, which
the historian Norman
Cohn has called "a war-
rant for genocide," pro-
vides the basis for much
Japanese anti-Semitic writ-
ing. This includes the cur-
rently popular books of
Masami Uno (If You Under-
stand Judea, You Can Under-
stand the World and If You
Understand Judea, You Can
Understand Japan), the
starting point for your re-
port. The Protocols was
first translated into
Japanese in 1924 and con-
tinues to be reissued, most
recently by the Shin-
Jinbutsu Oraisha publish-
ing company this year.
Second, anti-Semitism
has greater intellectual
currency and respectabil-
ity in Japan than in per-
haps any other indus-
trialized society. In
January 1986, an anti-
Semitic novel titled
Passover by a Japanese
woman residing in Los
Angeles won the 94th
Akutagawa Prize, Japan's -
most prestigious literary
award. It was awarded by
a jury of Japan's most re-
spected novelists and cri-
tics, headed by the Roman
lic novelist Shusaku
Catho
Endo.
Third, it should be
pointed out that the
Japanese have also pro-
duced voluminous legiti-
mate scholarship on
Jewish history and cul-
ture. In 1979, the annual
meeting of Japanese Ger-
manists took up the topic
of "German-Jewish Sym-
biosis," with papers on the
work of Heine, Kafka,
Elias Canetti and others.
There was even a paper on
Yiddish language and lit-
erature delivered by a
Japanese Yiddishist.
The works of Elie Wiesel,
Isaac flashevis Singer,
Martin Buber, Gershom
Scholem and virtually
every other significant
Jewish' author have been
translated into Japanese.
The work of Masanori
Miyazawa should also be-
noted in this context. A
professor of history at
Doshisha Women's Univer-
sity in Kyoto, Masanori
Miyazwa
a has analyzed in
books and articles the long
and perverse history of
Japanese anti-Semitism, '
and 'has been an outspo-
ken critic of it.
