Representing the collaboration of ten expert researchers of Japanese popular culture and travel, it develops a theoretical framework for understanding war-related contents tourism and demonstrates the framework in practice via numerous short case studies across a millennium of warfare in Japan including: the tales of heroic deities in the \u003ci\u003eKojiki\u003c\/i\u003e (Records of Ancient Matters, AD 712), the Edo poetry of Matsuo Basho, and the Pacific war through \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of
