Download or read book A History of Japan Vol 1 written by James Murdoch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Japan, Vol. 1: From the Origins to the Arrival of the Portuguese in 1542 A. D The third Of the three great movements alluded to, stands on an entirely different plane. It accomplished itself among a non-aryan people, a people who made its first acquaintance with Christianity only three hundred and fifty years ago, and, after a brief experience of the political effects Of the foreign cult, sternly proscribed it within the national bounds. TO this people, most of what is considered to be most distinctive in the common heritage of W'estern Culture was utterly alien. In some cases it was positively repellent, for the base Of the social structure in Japan was by no means identical with that of the West. W'ith us, thanks greatly to the Roman Law, the social unit is the individual; in Japan from time immemorial it has been the family. Hence for our intense individualism the islanders of the Far East could have, and had, but little sympathy.

Download or read book Showa 1926 1939 written by Shigeru Mizuki and published by Drawn & Quarterly. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating period in Japanese History explored by a master of manga Showa 1926-1939: A History of Japan is the first volume of Shigeru Mizuki’s meticulously researched historical portrait of twentieth century Japan. This volume deals with the period leading up to World War II, a time of high unemployment and other economic hardships caused by the Great Depression. Mizuki’s photo-realist style effortlessly brings to life Japan of the 1920s and 1930s, depicting bustling city streets and abandoned graveyards with equal ease. When the Showa Era began, Mizuki himself was just a few years old, so his earliest memories coincide with the earliest events of the Era. With his trusty narrator Rat Man, Mizuki brings history into the realm of the personal, making it palatable, and indeed compelling, for young audiences as well as more mature readers. As he describes the militarization that leads up to World War II, Mizuki’s stance toward war is thoughtful and often downright critical – his portrayal of the Nanjing Massacre clearly paints the incident (a disputed topic within Japan) as an atrocity. Mizuki’s Showa 1926-1939 is a beautifully told history that tracks how technological developments and the country’s shifting economic stability had a role in shaping Japan’s foreign policy in the early twentieth century. Translated from the Japanese by Zack Davisson.

Download or read book Japan Vol 1 written by F. Brinkley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-02 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan, Vol. 1: Described and Illustrated by the Japanese There is no one who is better equipped to edit or to write a work of this sort than Captain F. Brinkley, of Tokyo, who has spent forty years of his life in the Orient, a great portion of that time as correspondent of the London great dailies and as editor of the Japan Mail. It gives me the greatest pleasure to recommend him to all serious students of Japanese history. It must be apparent to any one who is paying attention to the present history-making epoch in the Orient that in the future the diplomatic as well as the business connections between Japan and America will be of far greater importance than they have ever been. It is difficult enough for two nations who speak the same language to thoroughly understand each other. It is far more difficult for two nations who speak different lan guages, whose traditions are unlike and whose nearest neighbours are frequently at variance with their respective policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mikado's Empire, Vol. 1 of 2: Book I. History of Japan From 660 B. C. To 1872 A. D A cycle of Cathay, which in science and practice comprises sixty years, has elapsed since President Millard Fillmore - the ini tiator Of the Japan expedition Of 1852 - began friendly relations. With the Mikado's empire. Under President Taft, in 1912, the noble precedent Of honoring Asiatic as well as European nations in their bereavement, by sending a special envoy in high Office to attend the emperor's funeral Obsequies, has been inaugurated. With the de cease of Mutsuhito the Great, the glorious era Of Meiji, or Enlight ened Government, ceases, and that Of Taisei, or Great Righteousness, under Yoshihito, the 124th Mikado, begins. In an added chapter in this twelfth edition I have noted not only a few of the great facts and events since 1906, but have also given the philosophy and in terpretation of them. Perhaps one, who in 1850, as a child, saw the launching Of Commodore Perry's flag - ship, and has during his adult life studied with sympathy the Japanese, has some right to do this. Indeed, I have reason for believing - after a lifelong acquaintance with the Japanese - that they do not ask for their country or them selves any favor beyond a just understanding Of their motives and aims, and this I have ever striven to attain.
