dc.description.abstractThe discussion of China's Belt and Road Initiative has rendered the current academic and media discourse on the Silk Road region increasingly Sino-centric, often to the detriment of our understanding of other major East Asian countries’ involvement in the region, especially in the modern era. In this context, this 16-chapter volume edited by Selçuk Esenbel fills several gaps. It provides a rich and multidisciplinary account of Japan's interaction with Central Eurasian countries and regions in a pivotal period of contemporary history: the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, covering the imperial periods of the Meiji (1868–1912) and Taishō (1912–1926) eras, as well as the pre-war and wartime Shōwa (1926–1989) era. This chronology clashes with the title in a curious way: the Silk Road itself is a medieval phenomenon, while the period reviewed by the book is only 100–150 years distant from the reader. Yet, this mismatch should not come across as an anachronism, since the volume engages with the ideational, geocultural and spatial dimensions of the Silk Road as an imaginary and social construct that already existed in a certain form in the period under study.
