This is an updated and expanded edition of a book that since its first edition in English has become one of the fundamental books in world Japanese studies. It covers all the most important aspects of Japanese history - from the primitive and archaic periods (early settlements, the beginning of state unification, the creation of a unified state, foreign and domestic politics and culture of the Heian era) and the Middle Ages (the rule of military houses, the development of Buddhism), to the Early Modern period (the rise of warlords 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 hostilities and further occupation).
The well-structured narrative pays much attention to Japanese culture - religion, literature, painting, architecture, and theater. With black-and-white illustrations, as well as maps and family trees, the book is addressed to all those interested in "the origins of Japanese modernity".
