(Journal of World History, June 2010) “The well-written contributions, which blend together skillfully to form a unified whole, reflect the authors’ authoritative knowledge of Japan … As a one-volume tour-de-force of Japanese history, this book stands out.” (American Reference Books Annual)A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2007“Tsutsui has edited an invaluable and authoritative overview of current scholarship on the history of Japan.
