尾張の一角から台頭し、天下統一への道筋をつけた異端児・信長。彼の人事を見ていくと、彼の独特の価値観が深くかかわっているのが良く分かります。 戦国大名と言っても、実はいくつかのタイプに分類できる。1.室町幕府の守護大名 足利将軍家に任じられた正統な大名家。武田、今川、朝倉、九州の島津といった大名家がこれにあたる。特徴として、他の大名家をバカにして、家柄を誇る傾向がある。そして当然ながら、自らの権威の源泉である将軍家への忠誠もあつい。（本文より） 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

古代の人々の精神や思考を伝え、日本文化を知るためには不可欠の古典である『古事記』。

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 last installment of the War in the Far East trilogy, Asian Armageddon 1944-1945, continues and completes the narrative of the first two volumes, describing how a US-led coalition of nations battled Japan into submission through a series of cataclysmic encounters. Leyte Gulf, the biggest naval battle ever, was testimony to the paramount importance of controlling the ocean, as was the fact that the US Navy carried out the only successful submarine campaign in history, reducing Japan's military and merchant navies to shadows of the former selves.

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.
