	H-Net Review: John E. Van Sant on The Birth of Japan's Postwar Constitution
		Koseki Shoichi is a professor in the Faculty of Law at Dokkyo University.
		Koseki demonstrates that Japanese officials revised and translated the American-written draft in ways that made the finished product more palatable to their conservative, traditional view of the relationship between the Japanese government and the Japanese people.
		Permit me to cite just one example of what Koseki seems to have forgotten in his claim that little has been changed by the postwar Constitution of Japan: Half of the adult Japanese population (women, that is) were not allowed to vote under the Meiji Constitution.

		Koseki takes to task much of the literature that has overly dramatized the break between Japan’s prewar and postwar Constitution.
		And, as Koseki persuasively argues, it quickly became "Japanized" by conservative Japanese officials who have extrajudicially interpreted and reinterpreted the document, particularly controversial provisions like its peace provision in Article 9, which renounces Japan’s sovereign right to wage war and to maintain a military for that purpose.
		Koseki is a professor of law at Dokkyo University and he worked with Ray A.

		Koseki's new work, Bone Chronicles, explores these ancient memories in collaboration with the delicate images of venerated Czech visual artist Adriena Simotova.
		Koseki sees the overlap between herself and Simotova as "a fascination with that which lies between appearance and disappearance, between absence and presence." In the dance, she has created a sense of the body traveling through time and space.
		On one hand, she presents the vastness of time, which she says is stored inside the human brain as primitive drives -- to eat, to reproduce -- in juxtaposition with the transience of individuals.

		Failure of follow-up because of lack of koseki can scarcely be regarded as a source of bias; the 53 children of Japanese parents whose survival status is unknown are too few to influence the data significantly, even if all the cases involved children no longer alive.
		The resulting distribution of children on the basis of the radiation histories of their parents is shown in Table 2.
