日本人が知らない○○、日本人のための○○、日本人は○○など、「日本人」をつけた言葉や本がたくさん溢れています。でも、それって本当？ 全員が当てはまる？ いつでもどこでもどんな状況でも？ そもそも当てはまる人は存在するの？「日本人」とはフィクション？ 設定？ それとも…？ 偏狭なナショナリズムや民族主義が広がりつつある今、「日本人」という言葉の曖昧性、「日本人」と括る意味について考えてみます。

“What is meant by ‘the Japanese’?”
We constantly hear the rhetoric of “the Japanese”/ “Japanese People”, with sweeping generalizations abound, especially when we talk about immigration in Japan. But are these statements about “the Japanese” useful? Who is being referred to in such statements? Or is “日本人” a fictional concept? Whilst narrow nationalism and racialism appear to be on the rise, at the same time the phrase”Japanese people” has an increasingly ambivalence – leading us to question what meaning it has to categorize and speak of people in this way.
