The evolution of modern Japan is one of the most enthralling of all national histories. In their deeply researched book Dr. Mason and Dr. Craiger trace the intricate and absorbing progress of Japan's civilization, beginning with archaeological evidence of the islands' prehistory, continuing through the development of a unified state with its written records, recounting the story of the stormy medieval period, analysing society and administration in early modern Japan, reviewing the Meiji era and its policies of deliberate modernization, and concluding with the Japan that we know: the Japan of today.
