This volume brings together for the first time a significant body of Professor Barnes' scholarly writing on Japanese early state formation, brought together so that successive topics form a coherent overview of the problems and solutions of ancient Japan. The writings are, in some cases, the only studies of these topics available in English and they differ from the majority of other articles on the subject in being anthropological rather than cultural or historical in nature.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. xxi, 261 pages, illustrations : 24 cm. Summary:"This book examines the processes of elite identity formation and accumulation of political power in Japan between the 2nd century BC and late 4th century AD. It analyses early chiefly patterns of interaction both with peer chieftains on the Korean Peninsula and within the Japanese Islands, and with political superiors in the Chinese imperial court. Chinese records about the archipelago's inhabitants frame the study of polity formation at the 'Edge of Empire', while analyses of new burial data and art historical evidence generate hypotheses that early female queens ruled as earthly equivalents of the Chinese mythical Queen Mother of the West.
