Japan before Perry: A Short History, 25th Anniversary Edition

Author	Conrad Totman
Abstract	By 1853 Japan had been transformed from a sparsely populated land of nonliterate tribal peoples into an elaborately structured commercial society sustaining massive cities and a varied array of sophisticated cultural production. In this authoritative survey, Conrad Totman examines the origins of Japanese civilization and explores in detail the classical, medieval, and early-modern epochs, weaving interpretations of the major themes in Japan’s cultural and political development into a rich historical narrative. —Amazon.com
