An updated and expanded edition of the book, which has become one of the fundamental books in world Japanese studies since its first edition in English. It covers all the most important aspects of the history of Japan - from the primitive and archaic periods (early settlements, the beginning of state unification, the creation of a single state, foreign and domestic policy and culture of the Heian era) and the Middle Ages (the rule of military houses, the development of Buddhism), to the eras of the Early New time (the rise of military leaders Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Momoyama period, the Tokugawa shogunate, the development of a market economy) and modern Japan (the Meiji Restoration, modernization policies, World War II military operations and further occupation).
In a well-structured narrative, a lot of attention is paid to Japanese culture - religion, literature, painting, architecture, theater. The book, supplied with black-and-white illustrations, as well as maps and family trees, is addressed to anyone who is interested in the "origins of Japanese modernity."
