Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan, Historical and Descriptive: Revised and Enlarged From "Les Voyages Celebres" So long as the proper study of mankind is man, books which tell us of the ways and doings of fellow-beings very dissimilar to ourselves must continue to be the most perman ently interesting of all books. Especially is this true in the case of the Japanese, who form in so many ways a complete anomaly in civilisation. The reader of the following pages will find that they embrace a great variety of topics, from the life of the Mikado on his sacred throne to that of the peasant in his winter coat of straw. Popular tales and legends have been interwoven with the general account in order to render the book more attractive, and at the same time to exhibit the people in all phases of their character. We believe we present here, in the briefest space possible, the most complete account that has yet appeared of Japan, Historical and Descriptive.

Download or read book The First European Description of Japan 1585 written by Luis Frois SJ and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1585, at the height of Jesuit missionary activity in Japan, which was begun by Francis Xavier in 1549, Luis Frois, a long-time missionary in Japan, drafted the earliest systematic comparison of Western and Japanese cultures. This book constitutes the first critical English-language edition of the 1585 work, the original of which was discovered in the Royal Academy of History in Madrid after the Second World War. The book provides a translation of the text, which is not a continuous narrative, but rather more than 600 distichs or brief couplets on subjects such as gender, child rearing, religion, medicine, eating, horses, writing, ships and seafaring, architecture, and music and drama. In addition, the book includes a substantive introduction and other editorial material to explain the background and also to make comparisons with present-day Japanese life. Overall, the book represents an important primary source for understanding a particularly challenging period of history and its connection to contemporary Europe and Japan.

Book excerpt: This is the concluding volume of a three-volume work that culminates the life study of the West's most distinguished scholar of Japanese history. A straightforward narrative of the development of Japanese civilization to 1867, the three volumes constitute the first large-scale comprehensive history of Japan. Unlike the renowned Short Cultural History, it is concerned mainly with political and social phenomena and only incidentally touches on religion, literature, and the arts. The treatment is primarily descriptive and factual, but the author offers some pragmatic interpretations and suggests comparisons with the history of other peoples. A History of Japan: 1615-1867 describes the political and social development of Japan during the two and half centuries of rule by the Tokugawa Shoguns, a period of remarkable development in almost ever aspects of the national life. Under Ieyasu, the first Tokugawa Shogun, a system of checks and balances to keep the great feudatories in order began to be devised. His successors continued this policy, and indeed the essential features of government by the Tokugawa Shoguns was a determination to keep the peace. Freed from civil war, the energies of the nation were devoted to increasing production of goods in agriculture, manufacturers, and mining. Breaches in the traditional policy of isolation began to occur with the arrival of foreign ships in Japanese waters, the first intruders being the Russian in the 1790s. Thereafter, the government struggled to keep foreign ships away from Japanese ports, but before long the pressure of the Western powers, strengthened by the arrival of warships under the command of Commodore Perry in 1853, forced Japan to take part in international affairs.
