This updated and expanded edition of a book that has become a seminal text in global Japanese studies since its first English publication. It covers all the most important aspects of Japanese history—from the prehistoric and archaic periods (early settlements, the beginning of state unification, the creation of a unified state, foreign and domestic policy, and the culture of the Heian period) and the Middle Ages (the rule of military houses, the development of Buddhism), to the early modern period (the rise of the warlords Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Momoyama period, the Tokugawa shogunate, the development of a market economy) and contemporary Japan (the Meiji Restoration, modernization policies, military actions during World War II, and subsequent occupation). This well-structured narrative devotes considerable attention to Japanese culture—religion, literature, painting, architecture, and theater. This book, complete with black-and-white illustrations, maps, and family trees, is aimed at anyone interested in the "origins of Japanese modernity." It is published in the "Cities and People" series in two editions under one title.
