Japanese culture has penetrated our modernity deeply enough that we no longer perceive the delivery of sushi for dinner as something exotic. But did you know that the Japanese didn't originally eat sushi as a main course, only as an appetizer? We habitually call Japan the Land of the Rising Sun - but as a result of what did it get such a name? And what path did the empire as a whole go through in its more than a thousand-year history? American Nancy Stalker, a professor at the Department of History at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, has written more than one book about Japan. But, perhaps, now you have before you the most detailed and at the same time concise, perfectly structured story about all the stages of Japanese history and the stages of cultural development in chronological order. This book is academic enough to draw on in the specialization of Oriental studies, and is so clearly and vividly written that it will be of interest to any reader who, for one reason or another, is attracted to the Land of the Rising Sun.
