While intensely attentive to its own tradition, Japanese literature has also embraced the outside world, particularly the influence of China. Beyond this, Japan boasts a powerful literary culture, made up of cultivated reading publics, both aristocratic and bourgeois, literary salons, specialized presses, authoritative judges of talent who cultivated and celebrated particular writers and styles, and a canon consisting of classics. This Very Short Introduction traces the rich history of Japanese literature from its beginnings over a millennium ago to the present day.

In December 1937, in the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenseless city but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, the story of this atrocity- one of the worst in world history- continues to be denied by the Japanese government.

The samurai are dead. That’s not a morbid or melancholic statement - just a fact. Every samurai who ever lived has long since passed, and only the memory of their way of life remains. By the mid 1800s, the old ways were fading. For centuries, Japanese society had followed a Confucian hierarchy that placed the samurai at the top.

なぜ明智光秀は謀反を起こしたのか。日本史上、最大のミステリーと言われ、既に語られつくした感のあるテーマですが、人事制度という観点から紐といていくと、意外な側面が見えてきます。 そもそも、明智光秀という人はどのような人物だったのだろうか。実は前半生については記録があまり残っていないが、成年期以降に越前・朝倉氏、その後は流浪の将軍・足利義昭に仕え、やがて織田家に仕官したことだけははっきりしている。 この点からわかるのは、光秀は“忠誠心”とか“一所懸命”をアピールするタイプではなく、きわめて打算的かつ合理的な人物だということだ。キャリアデザインの大基本は「常に選択肢が増えるように行動する」ことだが、田舎大名→将軍家→いけいけどんどんの織田家という転職は、見事にその後の彼のキャリアの選択肢を広げているのがわかる。 城繁幸『サラリーマン・キャリアナビ』★出世と喧嘩の正しい作法はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/joe.html

Take a trip to old Japan with William Scott Wilson as he travels the ancient Kiso Road, a legendary route that remains much the same today as it was hundreds of years ago. The Kisoji, which runs through the Kiso Valley in the Japanese Alps, has been in use since at least 701 CE.
