About this ebook
Once a star of postwar industrial production and methods, Japan has encountered serious trouble with market forces in recent years. Social changes and departures from tradition are becoming more common in this conservative country. The revised edition of the popular work, Japan: Its History and Culture, Fourth Edition, documents and explains these changes. Seamlessly blending current events, politics, and cultural elements, the authors provide a riveting account of a nation often misunderstood by the West.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a wonderful book on Japanese history. It is definitely an overview of Japanese history, but it is thorough nonetheless. I use the handy timeline and list of emperors in the back for when I read books like the tale of Genji, when you need to be reminded of the era and who was in power. I definately would recommend this for any Asian history buffs as a quick reference on Japanese history!Miso
