The current debate among American Japanologists over their taken-for-granted academic disciplinary practice demonstrates underlying concerns over the naturalized hierarchical structure organizing relations between the Japanese and American academies, and includes a critique of the situation in which Japan forms a normalized center of authority in Japanese studies. This paper discusses how Japan and the Japanese academy came into existence as centers of authority in Japanese studies in America, and examines how this hierarchical structure was a product of social and geopolitical construction that emerged from the transpacific networks promoting Japanese studies in the American academy. From the end of the 1920s, these net-works, which consisted of scholars, financiers, diplomats and missionaries on both sides of the Pacific, founded lobbying organizations such as the Japanese Culture Center of America, the American Council of Learned Societies, the committee on Japanese studies and the Institute of Pacific Relations. They tried to establish Japanese studies within American universities and colleges, and built channels to draw funds into Japanese studies from influential organizations such as the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation and the Kokusai Bunka Shinkokai (now the Japan Foundation). At the same time, during this period in place of the European academy, the Japanese academy was introduced as the most appropriate academic institution to provide American Japanologists a part of their scholarly training. As a result of the efforts of the transpacific networks promoting Japanese studies in America, the Japanese academy gradually emerged as a natural network center for Japanese studies.
