Description
All the keys to understand Japanese civilization.
In the history of Japan, the Edo era (1603-1868) lies between two antinomic periods, the warlike Sengoku era, torn by warlords, and the Meiji Restoration, which gives all power back to the emperor, signs the end of samurais and opens the country to the Western world. Still marked by feudalism, Edo, dominated by the last Tokugawa shogunal dynasty, is nevertheless the crucible of modern Japan. This historical reference guide takes the reader on a journey through time and space to discover a dynamic society with an extraordinary potential, through several themes that are as many entries into Japanese culture: territory, religion, political organization, economic and cultural life, arts, scientific innovation, leisure and body care.
