Synopsis

This book presents the history of Japan from 660 BC to the dawn of the 20th century, with an additional focus on the social and cultural evolution of Japanese society. It presents Japan's unique experience of international isolation that nurtured a culture strikingly different from the rest of the world. The book examines how this isolation shaped the development of the country's military, economy, and religion throughout history, including the influence of Chinese ideas and the impact of Western colonization in the 16th century. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in Japanese history and provides a crucial lens to understand how Japan developed into the country it is today.
