Résumé :
Based on a study of modern Japanese historiography from the late nineteenth century to the present, the commonalities among different national histories seem to me as striking as the differences.  This is partly because most national histories have modernity in common, if not as the same experience then at least as the same problem.  And because modern historians everywhere drew water at the same methodological wells, history-writing exhibited a conceptual cosmopolitanism even as it insisted on the centrality of national history. In this I will give eight meta-historical categories of these commonalities across time and place in order to place Japanese history-writing in comparative perspective. I conclude with the proposition that a new and favorable conjuncture began in the 1990s, which offers historians the opportunity to write extremely creative history.  Since like all historical moments, this moment too will pass, the time to do so is now.
