This dissertation concerns the transculturation of Hawaiian performing arts in Japan and demonstrates the way in which a sense of yearning played a consistent role in the history of Hawaiian music and dance in Japan. Examination of that history from the late 1920s through the 1990s reveals that the Japanese view of Hawaiian performing arts has changed over time, from an admiration of the modern sophistication of the West to a nostalgic yearning for the spiritual connectedness lost in the rapid modernization of Japanese society after World War II. Despite this change, the history shows a persistent sense of desire for Otherness that underlies the Japanese fascination with Hawaiian performing arts and exerts a strong influence in shaping the characteristics of a unique Japanese "Hawaiian" sound.

520 $a This dissertation concerns the transculturation of Hawaiian performing arts in Japan and demonstrates the way in which a sense of yearning played a consistent role in the history of Hawaiian music and dance in Japan. Examination of that history from the late 1920s through the 1990s reveals that the Japanese view of Hawaiian performing arts has changed over time, from an admiration of the modern sophistication of the West to a nostalgic yearning for the spiritual connectedness lost in the rapid modernization of Japanese society after World War II. Despite this change, the history shows a persistent sense of desire for Otherness that underlies the Japanese fascination with Hawaiian performing arts and exerts a strong influence in shaping the characteristics of a unique Japanese "Hawaiian" sound.
520 $a This study focuses on how a yearning for Otherness is intertwined with pre-existing aesthetics, educational philosophy, and learning method in the pursuit of Hawaiian performing arts. I examine this in three particular areas: the structure of hula study, the themes of the "Hawaiian" song lyrics written by Japanese composers, and the musical structure of "Hawaiian" songs composed in Japan. The analysis of these areas shows that despite the strong underlying desire for Otherness and close replication of that foreign model, the Japanese approach follows a domestic paradigm that is motivated by societal conditions and needs, rather than global economic flows from dominant to marginal cultures or to diasporic communities.
