 note = {This article examines the origins and development of Japan’s human-centered approach to environmentalism. It suggests that the traumatic experience with industrial pollution and related human suffering from the late 1950s through until the mid-1970s profoundly shaped the development of Japanese environmentalism by directing activism toward the human-environment nexus as opposed to mobilizations for the protection of the natural environment. The article goes on to suggest that this human-centered environmentalism was a key stimulus behind the various transnational movements and initiatives that Japanese activists became involved in from the late 1960s onward. Seeing the suffering caused by industrial pollution within Japan inspired leading Japanese activists to communicate this horrific story abroad so that other countries might avoid Japan’s harrowing experience. Particularly important were various transnational initiatives in East Asia opposing the export of Japanese industrial pollution and rampant exploitation of natural resources such as timber. The article suggests that these movements served a dual purpose. On the one hand, they served as transnational alliances for the protection of human health and living environments. On the other hand, they also served as a means or “method” by which Japanese progressive activists began to reconnect with East Asia in the postwar period. Drawing on Takeuchi Yoshimi’s notion of “Asia as Method,” the article proposes the idea of “environmental activism as a method” by which Japanese progressive movements began to reengage with Asia in the postwar era., 大﨑晴美訳},
