In this major revision of his classic history of Japan—from the tribally divided state under the leadership of Yamato in the fifth century through centuries of dynastic rule to the death of Emperor Hirohito in 1989—the eminent Harvard historian and former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Edwin O. Reischauer incorporates nearly a decade's worth of new scholarship. His book is divided into three parts: the first part examines traditional Japan from the early Chinese influences to the flowering of a native culture and the establishment of a feudal system and society; the second looks at Japan in transition from the beginnings of the modern state to the rise of militarism and the advent of World War II; the third section, extensively rewritten to reflect Japan's drastically changed role in world affairs since 1984, deals with postwar Japan from the American Occupation and years of political division and instability to Japan's gradual metamorphosis into an economic giant. The Nakosone and Takeshita years are discussed at length, and the transformation of Japan's economy, hinged upon surging exports to the West, is analyzed. Clear, concise, and enormously informative, Reischauer's Japan: The Story of a Nation encompasses political, social, economic, and cultural history in a superbly readbable narrative.

Excerpt from The Japanese Nation, Its Land, Its People, and Its Life: With Special Consideration to Its Relations With the United States Government. I accepted the honour with sincere pleasure and yet with trepidation. Is it necessary to explain why the appointment gave me pleasure? Reasons which will naturally suggest themselves to everyone - an enjoyable trip, meeting with con genial people, renewing Old acquaintance, taking my wife to her native home, the honour of being the first exchange professor from my country - all had their due share in my willingness to come. But there was a particular reason which made the proposal singularly attractive to me. Allow me to relate a personal incident. Nearly thirty years ago, when applying for admission to the University in Tokyo as a student, I selected English Literature for my minor course, in addition to my major study Of Economics. The Dean Of the Department Of Literature questioned me as to my motive for combining these two apparently unrelated branches Of learning. I wish, sir, to be a bridge across the Pacific, I replied. On being pressed for further explanation, I threw aside the metaphor and told him of my desire to be a means of transmitting the ideas of the West to the East, and of the East to the West. Though it was a fancy Of youth, it was a wish that had been slowly forming during my collegiate days, and though the days Of youth have long since gone by, the fancy has remained, waxing stronger with the progress of years.

Why and how can some Japanese remain "un-repentant" about their wartime history and even reaffirm the righteousness of Japan's military actions during the Second World War? Both Japanese and foreign observers have been puzzled by "outrageous" statements and "unjustifiable" historical interpretations, often concluding that Japan is unable to come to terms with its recent past. While liberal and Marxist historians in Japan have made pioneer studies of the consequences of Japan's military actions and the victims of Japan's wartime ideology, few have tried to identify the source of the logic underlying "Japan's un-repentant" views or to pursue the subject critically and constructively, neither blindly romanticizing nor dogmatically condemning it. This dissertation examines the role of "spiritual history" in the service of the nation in 20 th century Japan. More specifically, it identifies a view of medieval history which state authorities actively promoted in the prewar period as the "ethical, moral, historical, and religious" backbone of "Japan's un-repentance" in the postwar period. It locates the source of this view of medieval history in the 19 th century, when the Japanese government promoted the ethical and moral principles underlying the "southern court" view of history (Nancho seit o ron shikan), a 17 th and 18 th ethical and moral interpretation of 14 th century Japan (and a core component of spiritual history), as guiding principles for the moral education of imperial subjects. This set of principles was applied to the relationship between individuals and the state. It set Japan's overseas expansion within the context of Japanese mythology and shaped Japan's perceptions of the war until 1945. Despite American efforts to erase Japan's prewar values, some wartime proponents of the southern court view of history preserved these principles and used them to influence national debates in the postwar period. This set of principles continues to function as a source of the logic behind the illogicality of Japan's "un-repentance" today. The thesis follows the life of "spiritual" historian Hiraizumi Kiyoshi (1895-1984), chief professor of the Nation's History at Tokyo Imperial University from the late 1920s to Japan's defeat in 1945. Hiraizumi played a key role in the inheritance (before 1920s), revitalization (1920s and early 1930s), application (1930s), reinforcement (1940s), and continuation (from 1945 to 1984) of these principles in the service of the imperial nation. The study places him in the centre of the intellectual history of 20 th century Japan, using empirical methods to determine a cause of the ongoing postwar historical controversy. The study is intended to serve as a model for the future study of Japanese national history from inside.

In Japanese Historians and the National Myths, John Brownlee examines how Japanese historians between 1600 and 1945 interpreted the ancient myths of their origins. Ancient tales tell of Japan's creation in the Age of the Gods, and of Jinmu, a direct descendant of the Sun Goddess and first emperor of the imperial line. These founding myths went unchallenged until Confucian scholars in the Tokugawa period initiated a reassessment of the ancient history of Japan. These myths lay at the core of Japanese identity and provided legitimacy for the imperial state. Focusing on the theme of conflict and accommodation between scholars on one side and government and society on the other, Brownlee follows the historians' reactions to pressure and trends and their eventual understanding of history as a science in the service of the Japanese nation.

This book focuses upon the relationship between religion and socio-cultural or socio-political aspects in the history of religions in Japan. Religious and ideological justifications in the course of forming a political and national identity, and the mutual relation between political, national and cultural issues can be noticed in every region of the world before the onset of secularization processes, but also in modern nation-states today. In Japan as well, just like in most modern societies, political, cultural and religious elements are closely interrelated. In a comparative approach the sixteen papers in this volume elucidate the intellectual undercurrent in Japanese history of putting positive perspectives on national achievements and cultural-religious uniqueness into service of establishing and refurbishing a national identity.

This volume is based upon personal observations and recollections of the author extending over six different periods of residence in Japan between 1859 and 1877. It examines how the focus of the West towards Japan changed, as Japan became a dominant force in the political arena of the Far East when it freed itself of Chinese rule and, through the Meiji restoration adopted a democratic system of government based on the West. This rapid development in the history & governance of a nation had never been seen before on such a scale and this volume therefore covers a momentous period in the history of the Japan and its role in international politics.
