Description

Japan the story of a Nation by Edwin O. Reischauer. 'Edwin O. Reischauer, until recently American Ambassador in Tokyo, and now University Professor at Harvard, in this book expands and brings up to date his definitive earlier book Japan Past & Present, revising the text throughout. The new book encompasses every aspect of Japanese history, culture and politics, and has been entirely reset. Reischauer follows the slow evolution of Japanese civilization from the earliest days, clarifies the nature and limitations of the Japanese language, the mysteries of Shinto and Zen, the influence of the Samurai warrior caste, the paradox of am emperor who seldom ruled, the rise of the militarism that carried Japan into the Second World War, the effect of the Allied occupation after the War, and the extraordinary recovery and new flowering of the Japanese economy during the 1960s.' From the flyleaf of this 1970s book.
