- Abstract
- This article examines the recent phenomena of “Korea Wave
(Kanryu^)”and “Hate Korea Wave (Kenkanryu^) in contemporary
Japanese society. I argue that the “(Hate) Korea Wave”is a part of
larger phenomena related to the disintegration of “main stream
consciousness”during the economic recession of the 1990s. The“ main
stream consciousness”refers to the collective self-perception of
Japanese people in which 90% of Japanese considered themselves as
members of new middle-class. Both “Korea Wave”and “Hate Korea
Wave”have their roots in populism embedded in the frustration and
distrust toward the established order and the ambivalent expectation
for reform of the existing social system. It still remains to be seen
how these contradictory undercurrents in Japanese society will
transform Japan’s self-perception and view of the other.
