In my experience it's historians of Japan who are more definitive about this, most likely because of the required language skills; it hasn't filtered over into other disciplines yet.
Check. I trust Wellerstein's commitment to reality over myth, but I don't know about his languages. In the post I linked to, he points readers to Tsuyoshi Hasegawa's Racing the Enemy: Stalin, Truman, and the Surrender of Japan (2005), which I have not read.
Modern Japanese history, with a designated emphasis in new media. For my second field in history I did comparative empires, looking at China and ancient Rome.
I think you mentioned the China and ancient Rome! I'm not sure if I knew about the new media. Cool.
