Professor Ketelaar is currently finishing a book on the importance of the barbarian and the frontier in the construction of Japanese national identity and national history: Ezo: A History of Japan's Eastern Frontier (Princeton, forthcoming). He is also beginning a book project on the roles and meanings of emotion in the construction of the historical imagination in Japan. Topics such as the relationships between the creator deities Izanagi and Izanami or between Minamoto no Yoshitsune and his retainer Musashi Bô Benkei are read as means to describe the intersection of literary and historical imaginations as well as means towards the end of writing a history of emotion in Japan.
