Analyzing the Spiritual Connotation of Japanese Pop Culture from the Course of Modernization Based on Contemporary Japanese Writers

Abstract

The development of pop culture in Japan has long historical roots. Since its post-war modernization, Japan has successfully transformed itself from an old culture-importing country to a culture-exporting country. The article focuses on a number of epochal points since Japan's post-war renaissance, analyzing a number of representative Japanese authors and their works from 1945 to the present, and understanding the birth and spread of Japanese popular culture. Studies have shown that the development of Japanese popular culture has been heavily influenced by European and American culture, but has also demonstrated rebellion and reflection on past cultures and ideologies, ultimately opening up a wide range of cultural areas on this basis. The article takes the representative writers and works of contemporary Japan as the blueprint for research, and finds that Japanese pop culture has a unique rebellious character and humanistic sentiment in its spiritual connotation. In the present day, the Japanese national psyche, on the other hand, interacts and influences popular culture.
