Through a case study of sushi in Singapore, it aims to deepen our understanding of the mechanism of global popularization of Japanese popular culture and the interplay of popularization and localization in an Asian context. It consists of four parts. Part I discusses the history of sushi and the reasons for its popularity in Singapore. Part II examines the making of the sushi culture and industry in Singapore. Part III looks into different aspects of localization and their implications. Part IV identifies the characteristics of the sushi culture in Singapore and locates sushi within the context of globalization of Japanese popular culture. This study shows that in the globalization of Japanese popular culture, Japanization and localization should be seen as two sides of the same coin. In the context of sushi in Singapore, eating sushi is a form of Japanization of Singaporean food culture. Critics are, however, too fast to point this out as a form of cultural imperialism or colonialism, overlooking the fact that we are consuming Singaporean sushi and not Japanese sushi. Sushi is re-made and consumed in Singapore. Hence, culturally, the acceptance of sushi in Singapore and overseas should be viewed as the result of culinary hybridization, cultural interchange, and an interplay of Japanization and localization.

Japanese residents in prewar Hong Kong played an important role in promoting Sino-Japanese and Anglo-Japanese political, economic and cultural interaction. Japanese investment in Hong Kong and Japan-Hong Kong bilateral trade strengthened Hong Kong' s position as leading trading port in Asia as well as a business and industrial base in South China. The Japanese also introduced new cultures to Hong Kong. Using Japanese primary sources as the main references, this paper examines the formation of the Japanese community in prewar Hong Kong from historical and social perspectives.

This paper examines the reasons for the rising popularity of Jinyong's novels in Japan in the past few years and discusses the cultural significance and impact of this "Jinyong Craze.' It consists of three main parts the making of the Japanese edition, the study of Jinyong in Japan and the byproducts of Jinyong's novels in Japan. Through an investigation of the Jinyong's phenomenon in Japan, it can deepen our understanding of the interplay of different cultural forces such as transnational cultural flows, hybridization. international collaboration, secularization, and localization in the age of cultural globalization. These cultural forces play an important role in incorporating modern meanings and perspectives to Jinyong's novels.
