Hi Noah. There's a lot of good stuff on nostalgia, progress, and the public sense of history written about Japan. I don't know the field well but it's a very interesting case to study. Right now I'm reading "Inventing the Way of the Samurai: Nationalism, Internationalism, and Bushido in Modern Japan" by Oleg Benesch. Check it out, you might enjoy it. ✌️
