Book Synopsis A History of the Japanese People from the Earliest Times to the End of the Meiji Era (Classic Reprint) by : Frank Brinkley

This book was released on 2017-05-28 with total page 844 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Japanese People From the Earliest Times to the End of the Meiji Era It is trite to remark that if you wish to know really any people, it is neces sary to have a thorough knowledge of their history, including their mythology, legends and folk-lore: customs, habits and traits of character, which to a superficial observer of a different nationality or race may seem odd and strange, sometimes even utterly subversive of ordinary ideas of morality, but which can be explained and will appear quite reasonable when they are traced back to their origin. The sudden rise of the Japanese nation from an insignificant position to a foremost rank in thercomitynof nations has startled the world. Except in the case of very, few who had-studied us intimately, we were a people but little raised above barbarism trying to imitate Western civilisation without any capacity for reallyassimilating-pr adapting it. At first, it was supposed that we had somehow undergone a sudden transformation, but it was gradually perceived that such could not-be. And was not the case; and a crop of books on Japan and the Japanese, deep and superficial, serious and fantastic, interest ing and otherwise, has been put forth for the benefit of those who were curious to know the reason of this strange phenomenon. But among so many books, there has not yet been, so far as I know, a history of Japan, although a study of its history was most essential for the proper understanding of many of the problems relating to the Japanese people, such as the relation of the Imperial dynasty to the people, the family system, the position of Buddhism, the influence of the Chinese philosophy, etc. A history of Japan of moderate size has indeed long been a desideratum; that it was not forthcoming was no doubt due to the want of a proper person to undertake such a work. Now just the right man has been found in the author of the present work, who, an Englishman by birth, is almost Japanese in his understanding of, and sympathy with, the Japanese people. It would indeed be difficult to find any one better fitted for the task by no means an easy one of presenting the general features of Japanese history to Western readers, in a compact and intelligible form, and at the same time in general harmony with the Japanese feeling. The Western public and Japan are alike to be congratulated on the production of the present work. I may say this without any fear of reproach for self-praise, for although my name is men tioned in the title-page, my share is very slight, consisting merely in general advice and in a few suggestions on some special points.

Book Synopsis Japan in Print by : Mary Elizabeth Berry
Download or read book Japan in Print written by Mary Elizabeth Berry and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-02-16 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quiet revolution in knowledge separated the early modern period in Japan from all previous time. After 1600, self-appointed investigators used the model of the land and cartographic surveys of the newly unified state to observe and order subjects such as agronomy, medicine, gastronomy, commerce, travel, and entertainment. They subsequently circulated their findings through a variety of commercially printed texts: maps, gazetteers, family encyclopedias, urban directories, travel guides, official personnel rosters, and instruction manuals for everything from farming to lovemaking. In this original and gracefully written book, Mary Elizabeth Berry considers the social processes that drove the information explosion of the 1600s. Inviting readers to examine the contours and meanings of this transformation, Berry provides a fascinating account of the conversion of the public from an object of state surveillance into a subject of self-knowledge. Japan in Print shows how, as investigators collected and disseminated richly diverse data, they came to presume in their audience a standard of cultural literacy that changed anonymous consumers into an "us" bound by common frames of reference. This shared space of knowledge made society visible to itself and in the process subverted notions of status hierarchy. Berry demonstrates that the new public texts projected a national collectivity characterized by universal access to markets, mobility, sociability, and self-fashioning.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of Japan Europeans and Americans, however, have failed as yet to appreciate the essential worth of Japan's civilisation. Some foreigners, it is true, speak highly of Japanese fine art, praising Japan as a country devoted to art; but the works that they admire are not always essentially character istic of Japan, nor are they representative works of Japanese fine arts. The number of foreigners aware of the existence of an influential literature in Japan is extremely limited.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan and the United States 1853-1921 For the past fifteen years my university duties have been solely concerned with the investigation and teach ing of the modern history of the Far East. In that time I have made two visits to Eastern Asia, to check up my studies by observation. These historical investigations should have helped me to understand the causes of many of the present conditions in the Far East, and to avoid some of the errors into which one may fall who confines his studies to a single country without considering con temporary movements in other lands. If these pages help, in any degree, the readers on both sides of the Pacific to understand better the point of View of their neighbors, I shall feel richly repaid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of the Origin of the Japanese State In this volume I have endeavored to set down the results of my investigation regarding the origin of the Japanese State. The original Kojiki and Nihongi contained in the Kokushi-Taikei have been used. In the text, Kojiki is indicated by K, the Nihongi, by N. I have sometimes been obliged to use translations of the Kojiki and the Nihongi, for which I am especially indebted to the splendid work of Mr. Aston and Dr. Chamberlain. In some cases, I have found it necessary to make slight changes in the wording of parts which I have quoted, for which I offer apologies. Time has not permitted me to make an index, but I hope to be able to do this in the near future. I am indebted to Miss Genevieve Caulfield for her scholarly advice and correction of the English. I am also indebted to Professor Charles A. Beard, under whom I specialized in Politics, for his counsel and guidance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Japanese Education Anyone who wishes to understand the source and foundation of the civilization of a nation, can not do better than examine the past history and the present condition of its educational system. Therefore in the international exhibitions held in various countries, a space has generally been alloted for educational exhibits alongside of the varied products of trade and industry. Special attention has been paid to this matter in the preparations for the forthcoming Japan-British Exhibition, where the exhibits relating to education will occupy a comparatively large space; and the pleasant duty of furnishing this section of exhibition was entrusted solely to our Department of Education. The Department accordingly directed several of the schools under its jurisdiction to send in exhibits that would illustrate the special character of the education peculiar to each. The Department furthermore decided to exhibit by itself such books, pictures, etc., as should give a general idea of the past history of education in Japan, as well as of the condition of education as a whole at the present time. This short work, the "History of Japanese Education," is also one of the exhibits of the Department. Masakuni Shiraishi, one of the professors of the Peers' School, was specially appointed to prepare this compilation, but the limited time allowed him did not permit of his going much into details. Notwithstanding this, it is hoped that the clear and systematic presentation of the educational history of Japan to be found in these pages will leave on the mind of the reader at least a fair outline of the subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Light From the East Studies in Japanese Confucianism Japanese culture itself. Besides that, we must not forget that the Japanese spirit began from earlier times to assimilate Confucianism to itself, that is to say, to Japanize it. As a consequence of that process Confucianism was, during the Tokugawa age, almost entirely Japanized, and in that way it was made far more vigorous and efficacious than in China and elsewhere. To understand well Confucianism of the Toku gawa age is, therefore, at the same time to understand partly Japanese culture itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan of the Japanese While the present volume is primarily intended for those whose knowledge of Japan is limited, or has still to be acquired, I hope that the most esoteric readers will find in it something that they did not know before. It is far from exhaustive, even of the elements of the subjects of which it treats, still moie so of the number which merited treatment. Its limits of space were prescribed, and chapters on Religion, Foreign and Domestic Politics, Colonial Expansion and Administration, the changes in the Economic and Social conditions Of life that have followed on the last war and are incidental to growing wealth and strength, and on the progress already made towards the attainment Of the Hegemony of the Pacific, have been necessarily excluded in favour of those which seem more likely to appeal to popular taste and requirements.
