Abstract
In June 1924 popular protests over the US Immigration Exclusion Law erupted throughout Japan as individuals and groups mobilized to express their anger and resentment in a brief but potent wave of anti-Americanism. This paper traces several forms of popular protests and examines the reasons behind anti-American hysteria. I place the protests within the larger ‘dispute culture’ that arose under pre-war imperial democracy and identify how specific individuals and groups, especially the media, encouraged popular protest in order to further their own self-interests.
