"Twice in its history Japan
assimilated parts of an alien
culture,” Naff said, The first time
was in the sixth through eighth
centuries, and the second time
was in the early 20th century, he
said
English romantic literature
taught in mission schools in Ja
pan was the source of Japanese
romanticism, Naff said. These
protestant, non - denominational
missions were made outposts by
local forces, and the students
were disassociated with Japanese
society. The students were Chris
tian romantics of taste, thought
and action.
Unaware of Romanticism
The Japanese society was still
unaware of European romantic
ism and the only interesting and
meaningful discussions held
among the students were with
teachers and fellow students.
"Japanese society did not re
ject the ideals to which t h c
young romantic writers were so
passionately connected, they sim
ply were not aware of them,"
NafT said.

major forcrs in the development
of this type of literature were
traditional Japanese literature
Japanese romanticism and the
Japanese social order, Naff ex
plained.
Of these, the social order was
the fundamental force. The fam
ily dominated the individual, and
society was limited to small lo
cal groups, according to Naff.
Writers’ Struggle
The struggle of young writers
for personal identity was fur
thered by their separation from
society due to their mission and
essentially romantic educations.
This period of "high national
endeavor” along with the per
sonal struggles was probably the
"root of Japan’s future problems
and disasters," Naff concluded.
Naff has been at the University
since 19tt2. He received his mas
ter’s and doctorate degrees in
Japanese language, literature and
history at the University of
Washington.
He spent four years in Japan,
where he was sent by a Ford
Foundation area training fellow
ship for private research.
