Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Satsuma Rebellion: An Episode of Modern Japanese History details an important period in Japan's history and an interesting tale of the nation's samurai. Augustus Henry Mounsey's book opens with an account of the Meiji restoration, which refers to Japan's restoration of imperial rule in 1868. This is a logical place to start, as the author is establishing the conditions that lead to the Satsuma Rebellion. Although the Satsuma Domain played an important role in the chain of events that lead to Emperor Meiji assuming power of Japan, many samurai had become disenchanted with the ruling government. Parts two and three of Mounsey's book detail the role of the Satsuma in restoring the Meiji to power and their subsequent place in the government until the rebellion. In part four, the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 is detailed, in which the forces of protesting samurai were crushed and the leader of the uprising was killed. Mounsey's work is a detailed and entertaining telling of an important part of Japan's history. It is an exciting story that is sure to appeal to readers of both cultural and military history. The Satsuma Rebellion is recommended to all readers interested in Japanese and samurai history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The restoration of the Meiji Imperial dynasty in 1868, after 250 years of the Tokugawa Shogunate, decisively opened Japan to the outside world and the monarchy embraced modernization, including the creation of a new Westernized army. However, this modernization process was resisted by the traditional Samurai feudal nobility, leading to a series of battles. The first clash between the two cultures came swiftly. During the Boshin War of 1868–69, a French military adviser, Jules Brunet, changed sides to join the insurgents. They won several engagements before the final crushing of the rebel Ezo Republic. After this point, the Imperial Army continued to modernize along French lines, and social changes began to impoverish Samurai noblemen, who lost their social and political role and their associated privileges. During 1876, the powerful Satsuma Domain, around Kagoshima in south-west Kyushu, became a focus for discontent. Its leader Saigo Takamori effectively ignored the central government, and in January 1877, increasing unrest broke out into open rebellion. The Imperial forces were now much stronger, and the Navy could land troops and bombard Kagoshima. The bitter Satsuma siege and attempted capture of Kumamoto Castle finally failed in April, and the Samurai made a last stand at Shiroyama on 24 September, choosing to go down fighting. This marked the final defeat and displacement of the Samurai class. This fully illustrated title explores the fall of the Samurai in detail, examining the arms, tactics, key figures of both sides, and charting the increasing Westernization of the Imperial forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the changing process of evaluating objects during the period of Japan’s rapid modernization. Originally published in Japanese, Antiquarians of Nineteenth-Century Japan looks at the approach toward object-based research across the late Tokugawa and early Meiji periods, which were typically kept separate, and elucidates the intellectual continuities between these eras. Focusing on the top-down effects of the professionalizing of academia in the political landscape of Meiji Japan, which had advanced by attacking earlier modes of scholarship by antiquarians, Suzuki shows how those outside the government responded, retracted, or challenged new public rules and values. He explores the changing process of evaluating objects from the past in tandem with the attitudes and practices of antiquarians during the period of Japan’s rapid modernization. He shows their roots in the intellectual sphere of the late Tokugawa period while also detailing how they adapted to the new era. Suzuki also demonstrates that Japan’s antiquarians had much in common with those from Europe and the United States. Art historian Maki Fukuoka provides an introduction to the English translation that highlights the significance of Suzuki’s methodological and intellectual analyses and shows how his ideas will appeal to specialists and nonspecialists alike.
