| Following the Russo-Japanese War, a new era in Japan’s modern history commenced, with the conquest of the sea assuming equal if not greater significance than land-based expansion. At the helm of this phenomenon was the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, a military academy in Etajima, Hiroshima where future sea warriors honed their skills and cultivated their knowledge of all things maritime. Training on the island was followed by trials at sea, where long-distance training journey tested the limits of young hopefuls. Tales of naval cadets illuminate the vial yet still submerged link between masculinity and seafaring, a connection that enlivened Japan’s borderless empire. | ||
