Brett L. Walker tackles key themes regarding Japan's relationships with its minorities, state and economic development, and the uses of science and medicine. The book begins by tracing the country's early history through archaeological remains, before proceeding to explore life in the imperial court, the rise of the samurai, civil conflict, encounters with Europe, and the advent of modernity and empire. Walker's vibrant and accessible new narrative then follows Japan's ascension from the ashes of World War II into the thriving nation of today.

往古より落合村小名中井の鎮守で武門貴族の崇敬が厚かった。特に安産守護子育の神として霊験灼然で武蔵風土記に「御霊社はおびしゃ祭を行う」と記載され、又六の日に安産の祈祷をなし古来神前の紅白の帛付を頒ち紅布を得れば女子、白布を授かれば男児を拳ぐべしとの言い伝えがある。

For the first time in any modern language, a female scholar and translator reimagines The Art of War. Sun Tzu’s ancient book of strategy and psychology has as much to tell us today as when it was first written 2,500 years ago. In a world forever at odds, his rules for anticipating the motivations and strategies of our competitors never cease to inspire leaders of all kinds.

Korea was one of the last countries in Asia to be visited by Westerners, and its borders have remained largely unchanged since it was unified in the seventh century. Though it is one of the world's oldest and most ethnically homogeneous states, Korea was not born in a vacuum. Geographically isolated, the country was heavily influenced by powerful China and was often used as a bridge to the mainland by Japan. Calling themselves as "a shrimp among whales", Koreans borrowed elements of government, culture, and religion, all the while fiercely fighting to maintain independence.

名軍師として歴史に名を残した黒田官兵衛孝高(1546~1604)。 戦国時代随一とも言われた鋭い先見力や優れた情報収集力は、織田信長、豊臣秀吉、徳川家康ら、三人の天下人も恐れるほどでした。本能寺の変で信長が殺害されたことを知った官兵衛は、秀吉の天下を確信し、彼の軍師として活躍。晩年は出家して如水(じょすい)と名乗り、福岡藩主の長男・黒田長政を支えました。乱世を駆け抜けた官兵衛の知られざる実像を、信長や秀吉とのエピソードを交えながら、作家の童門冬二さんが独自の視点で語ります。NHKカルチャーアワー 生きる知恵 「武士(もののふ)たちの死生観」(2003年9月15日放送)を再編集し、オーディオブック化しました。

This history will be of interest to people who know nothing about Japan, but also full of insights for those who do. Lesley Downer takes the listener through the great sweep of Japanese history, focusing on the dramatic stories of larger-than-life individuals—from emperors descended from the Sun Goddess to warlords, samurai, merchants, court ladies, women warriors, geisha, and businessmen who shaped this extraordinary modern society.

「織田信長が生涯怖がったのは信玄よりも謙信。『謙信が来るのであれば自分は戦わない。扇子一本携えてお迎えする』と言ったと伝えられている。…」 歴史小説の巨匠・海音寺潮五郎(1901~1977)が語る上杉謙信の人間像。聞き手:三國一朗1976年にNHKラジオ第1で放送された「歴史と人間」をオーディオブック化。

Essential for anyone interested in Japanese culture, this unsurpassed masterwork opens an intriguing window on Japan. The World War II-era study by the cultural anthropologist Ruth Benedict paints an illuminating contrast between the people of Japan and those of the United States. The Chrysanthemum and the Sword is a revealing look at how and why our societies differ, making it the perfect introduction to Japanese history and customs.

This illuminating study explores the ways in which the shattering defeat of the Japanese in World War II, followed by over six years of American military occupation, affected every level of Japanese society. The author describes the countless ways in which the Japanese met the challenge of "starting over", from top-level manipulations concerning the fate of Emperor Hirohito to the hopes, fears, and activities of ordinary men and women in every walk of life.

In the ashes of postwar Japan lay a gold mine for certain opportunistic, expatriate Americans. Addicted to the volatile energy of Tokyo's freewheeling underworld, they formed ever-shifting but ever-profitable alliances with warring Japanese and Korean gangsters. At the center of this world was Nick Zappetti, an ex-marine from New York City who arrived in Tokyo in 1945 and whose restaurant soon became the rage throughout the city and the chief watering hole for celebrities, diplomats, sports figures, and mobsters.

On 11 March 2011, a massive earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of Northeast Japan. By the time the sea retreated, more than 18,000 people had been crushed, burned to death, or drowned. It was Japan's greatest single loss of life since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. It set off a national crisis and the meltdown of a nuclear power plant. And even after the immediate emergency had abated, the trauma of the disaster continued to express itself in bizarre and mysterious ways.

When the bloody Chinese Civil War concluded in 1949, two Chinas were born. Mao’s Communists won and took China’s mainland; Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists fled to Taiwan island. Since then, China and Taiwan have drifted into being separate political and cultural entities. Taiwan is now a flourishing democracy and an economic success story: just one of its companies produces over 90 per cent of the semiconductors that power the world’s economy. It is a free and vibrant society.
