Customer Reviews

Excellent and unequalled

This book is excellent and unequalled. Though written one hundred years ago and re-released in the 1970's and 1980's by Tuttle, it is the best historical reference for Japan up to the 20th century that I've seen. I bought my copy 20 years ago and have lived in Japan for 12 years and still often reference it.

Comprehensive and concise

Found this book to be extremely helpful in researching Japanese history and to help deepen my understanding of all the events in Japanese history. There are a few errors in it that I've found, but overall, it's a very informative book.
