In this lively introduction, Christopher Harding traces Japan's history from early coastal communities to modern times. Exploring Buddhism, warlords, Western influence and empire, he reveals how a distinct culture emerged. Drawing on new scholarship, Harding looks beyond clich?s to Japan's own view of its past, linking everyday details - food, art and architecture - to the values that helped the nation adapt to centuries of change.
