Loser's Tokyo [Chinese]

By 吉見俊哉

This book adopts a "historical perspective", sometimes from a bird's eye view, sometimes from a close-up view, and travels through Tokyo in different times and places. Through Prof. Yoshimi's solid research and delicate writing style, we will explore the interlocking layers of history, and go back and forth between the global and family perspectives of history, in search of the hidden memories of the "losers" of Tokyo: from the change of power between the Jomonjin, the Wataraijin, and the Tokugawa Shogunate, and the tragedy of the Bakufu faction after Saganaga's victory to the figure of the exiled gambler in the Meiji New Republic, and the sorrows of the women weavers. The author also examines his own family history, realizing how individuals and families were embedded in the context of the times, and explores the importance of "losers" in the development of Tokyo.
