Main Article Content
Abstract
This article is designed to examine a drastic change in Japanese diet by way of the introduction of beef consumption that resulted from social reform during the Meiji period (1868-1912). The objective is to study both the internal and external factors of Meiji Japan that contributed to the inroads of beef consumption to the wider population.
This article is a qualitative research, which comprises the collection of books, articles, textbooks, research papers, and other types of document regarding beef consumption, and the in-depth analysis of the collected data according to the ‘linkage politics’ and discussion.
The external factor of beef consumption among the Japanese is the spread of imperialism in the nineteenth century that led to a surge of western immigration, resultant contacts and interactions with westerners, and the introduction of western consumerism to the Japanese society.
As for the internal factor in Meiji Japan, there are three main factors: (1) the Meiji Restoration, (2) the socio-political movement initiated by local intellectuals and (3) Meiji Emperor’s acceptance of western culture. They altered the popular perception of beef consumption in the society.
The surge of beef consumption in the Meiji Japan not only contributed to a drastic change in the diet of the Japanese, but also the establishment of the ‘civilized’ state, and a change of the hierarchy of social classes in the Meiji Japan.
