Product Description
Product Description
This book offers a systematic comparison between Japanese and Western political institutions in the premodern period. It offers a brief discussion of the meaning and significance of the term Feudalism, and it suggests ways in which the term might be used for explorations in comparative history. Because of its brevity, it can be used as one of many paper backs in the premodern Japanese history course, or as background reading for courses on modern Japanese history and modern Japanese politics. Given its comparative approach, it can also be used as supplement in Western or world civilization course.

Format:Paperback
I think this book offers a great deal to the inqusitive mind of an A level standard student. It follows the years describing what occurs and analyses how feudalism was built up over the ages, from the prehistoric men to the first Shogun, minamoto no yoritomo to Tokugawara shoganute to present day Japan. It looks mainly into the political and part economical side of japans histroy with a fair amount of social depth covered biut not to great detail. This book is an interesting read which most history books lack, and the subject of the orient is not widely covered in English history classes.

Well written explination of Japanese Feudalism
29 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
I read this book for a class entitled, "The History of East Asia before 1800." This book details from 6th century Japan up until the Meiji Restoration. The epilogue contains some useful insights into modern Japanese culture.
It's very well written, and outlines the rise and fall of Japanese Feudalism. To be sure, it's a broad overview of the rise and fall of Japanese Feudalism. It covers the broader details, and paints a good historical view of Japan.
