The Symposium for the Eighth Annual Meeting of the Japan Oral History Association dealt with the relations between Oral History and Gender History in Japan. Women's History in Japan based on Oral History has been developed since the 1970s almost in parallel with Women's History in Britain, first by community women's historians. Miyako Orii talked about how much community women's oral historians in Japan accumulated the testimonies and the necessity of establishing archives for the collected historical sources. Secondly, as Women's Oral History in the West has developed as part of a more main stream Gender History, the oral evidences which could be used as academic discussions in history in Japan have been collected, too. Yu Wada talked about the conjugal relationships of some progressive intellectuals in the 1960s, and discovered the gaps between husbands and wives in relation to their consciousness about Ie (Family Household) system and companionship partnerships. Thirdly, Noriyo Hayakawa talked about the unavoidable issue, historical epistemology, derived from the atrocities of Japanese Imperial Army during WWII. In Britain also, Gender History has had to deal with postcolonial issues. Therefore, we probably need more transnational communications with oral historians on gender and discuss frameworks for studying Oral History and Gender History.
