* readings on early and medieval Shinto and on the tea ceremony,
* readings on state Buddhism and Chinese political thought influential in Japan, and
* sections on women's education, medieval innovations in the uses of history, and laws and precepts of the medieval warrior houses.
Together, the selections shed light on the development of Japanese civilization in its own terms, without reference to Western parallels, and will continue to assist generations of students and lay readers in understanding Japanese culture.
