24 Hours in Shogun's Japan: A Day in the Life of the People Who Lived There

By Mark Hudson

Spend 24 hours in the vibrant, divided world of Shogun's Japan. In 1614, Japan stood at a crossroads. As the Tokugawa shogunate tightened its grip on power, samurai prepared for war, Christians faced persecution, and foreign merchants navigated a rapidly shifting political landscape. In 24 Hours in Shogun's Japan, Mark Hudson brings this pivotal moment to life through the eyes of 24 individuals - nobles and farmers, merchants and monks, pirates and poets - each living through one dramatic hour of a single day. From the streets of Kyoto to the slopes of Mount Fuji, this book offers an immersive portrait of this fascinating era of Japanese history.
