Signed by the author with pen written dedication to a previous owner on title page. Remaining interior with minor signs of wear.; Japan has since the Second World War challenged the industrial giants of the West on their own ground with triumphant success. Yet she remains a profoundly traditional - even feudal-society. The paradox is not simply that these two very different attitudes coexist in Modern Japan: it is rather that the one actually grows out of the other. Japan has become a mighty industrial power largely because of her traditional values and disciplines. Michael Macintyre has taken his camera in search of the evidence of Japanese tradition, and has found it in a variety of fascinating, and sometimes unexpected, places. In the heart of this modern industrial society the shrine festivals flourish, with their parades of samurai and courtiers. The age-old martial arts and the cult of the sword live on alongside the gentler pursuits of the tea ceremony and flower arrangement. The theatre of Noh, Kabuki and Bunraku continue their ancient traditions, and the geishas of Kyoto, though they are becoming an endangered species, survive precariously. Even the tattooed gangsters who manage the 'love hotels' of modern Japan, and who run protection rackets, can be seen as distant inheritors of a samurai tradition of unquestioning loyalty to the leader. This legacy of tradition which pervades the whole of modern Japan has roots in the remotest past; but it was the more recent Edo period (1603-1868) which established feudalism, with its rigidly defined social hierarchies, during long years when Japan was at peace and secluded from outside influences. It was during this period that the Shoguns, military dictators ruling under the notional authority of the Emperor, codified behaviour appropriate to each class, and thus provided a framework which has survived Japan's emergence into the modern world. The Shogun Inheritance, based on the major BBC television series of the same title, reveals in photographs of great visual beauty how an uniquely Japanese blending of Western techniques and indigenous social organisation has produced 'Japanese spirit with Western technology'.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First printing 0987654321. Contains a letter signed by the author John McMaster. Also inscribed on ffep, "With many thanks to the Maynes for kindness and hospitality over the years. John McMaster, Cambridge June 1994" Dust jacket unclipped. Black cloth with silver titling on spine. 201 pages clean and tight. Private and inviolate for centuries under a government that had given its people peace and stability for hundreds of years, Japan had been protected from intrusion by the West thanks to its uncharted waters and prevailing winds that made the journey hazardous for sailing ships. With the development of the steam engine, this protection was lost. Thus it was that in 1853, Commo. Matthew Perry first challenged Japan's isolationist policy when he brought a fleet of warships into a Japanese harbor near the capital city of Edo with the message: negotiate or fight! In Sabotaging the Shogun: Western Diplomats Open Japan, 1859-69, John McMaster describes this historic moment and what followed as the Dutch, French, Americans, and British all tried to force Japan into accepting trade. It was not a point Japan conceded easily, and many of those rugged pioneers who sought to implement the policies of their respective countries were violently killed by fanatical samurai. Sabotaging the Shogun is the story of this battle-how and why Japan lost its isolated position and the external political consequences that ensued. Size: 8vo. Inscribed By Author.

First edition, inscribed by the author shortly before publication on the initial leaf, "This is for Christie - (Segal) who? James C., Los Angeles, June 14th, '75". It was published in America nine days later on 23 June, preceding the UK edition of 29 September. Inscribed copies are scarce. Based on the life of William Adams, alias Miura Anjin (1564-1620), the English navigator who reached Japan in 1600, Clavell's best-selling historical novel has "probably conveyed more information about Japan to more people than all the combined writings of scholars, journalists, and novelists since the Pacific War" (Smith, p. xii). It inspired the two miniseries of 1980 and 2024 and the musical of 1990. It is the third and the most popular work in Clavell's Asian Saga and was based on his experiences during the Second World War, when he was captured by Japanese soldiers and interned at Changi prison near Singapore.
