Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan as We Saw It In compiling this little volume for publication, its purpose should be understood as practical rather than literary.Many persons of moderate means and fond of travel desire to visit Japan, but are deterred from so doing by the lack of positive information as to the cost of making the journey and the methods by which it is made. The modes of travel, methods of living as travellers, and habits and peculiarities of the people herein given, are reproduced from the writer's journal without any attempt at literary polish, and are based on his own experiences. The expense is such as a man and wife desiring to see Japan under the most comfortable conditions must necessarily meet, when stopping at the best hotels or inns, travelling first class upon railways and steamships, and in other ways not attempting the close economy sometimes practised by travellers. The writer, with his wife, having devoted exactly four months to the trip, finds that - including cost of through tickets from Boston to Yokohama and return ($435 each), sleeping-cars, dining-cars, living expenses at hotels and inns, wines and cigars, entertainment of friends, railroad, steamship, and jinrikisha expenses, wages and transportation of Japanese attendant, donations to servants, and, in short, everything but articles purchased - the entire cost is under $2,000 gold; or, to be exact, $1,875.05. It should however be borne in mind that practically as much may be seen, and at less expense, by those who are content to accept more humble accommodations.

Download or read book The Land We Saw, the Times We Knew written by Gerald Groemer and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese zuihitsu (essays) offer a treasure trove of information and insights rarely found in any other genre of Japanese writing. Especially during their golden age, the Edo period (1600–1868), zuihitsu treated a great variety of subjects. In the pages of a typical zuihitsu the reader encountered facts and opinions on everything from martial arts to music, food to fashions, dragons to drama—much of it written casually and seemingly without concern for form or order. The seven zuihitsu translated and annotated in this volume date from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth centuries. Some of the essays are famous while others are less well known, but none have been published in their entirety in any Western language. Following a substantial introduction outlining the development of the genre, “Tales That Come to Mind” is an early seventeenth-century account of Edo kabuki theater and the Yoshiwara “pleasure quarters” penned by a Buddhist monk. “A Record of Seven Offered Treasures,” composed by a retired samurai-monk near the end of the seventeenth century, starts as a treatise on the proper education of youth but ends as a critique of the author’s own life and moral failings. Perhaps the most famous piece in the volume, “Monologue,” was drafted by the renowned Confucianist Dazai Shundai, a keen and insightful observer of life during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Dazai treats, in turn, poetry, the tea ceremony, comic verse, music, theater, and fashion. “Idle Talk of Nagasaki” is an entertaining record of a journey to Nagasaki by a group of Confucianists in the early eighteenth century. In “Kyoto Observed,” a mid-eighteenth-century Edo resident compares the shogun’s and the emperor’s capital in a series of brief vignettes. An 1814 zuihitsu classic written by a physician, “A Dustheap of Discourses” presents another colorful mosaic of topics related to life in Edo. The book closes with “The Breezes of Osaka,” a lively essay by a highly cultured Edo administrator contrasting the food, life, and culture of his hometown with that of Osaka, where he briefly served as mayor in the 1850s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan as We Saw It Japan as we saw it is, I venture to think, a happy title for these brief sketches by my daughter, of our eight weeks' sojourn in the Mikado's Empire. They do not claim in any way to be a tourist's handbook. They are only word-photographs, somewhat loosely grouped together, of what we were permitted to see under the exceptionally favourable guidance of my son, the Church of England Bishop there, and of the impressions indelibly stamped on our'memory while passing through that fascinating land, and freely mingling with cultured Japanese society. And they must only be accepted as samples of countless things we did not see. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Making of Modern Japan written by Marius B. Jansen and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 933 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magisterial in vision, sweeping in scope, this monumental work presents a seamless account of Japanese society during the modern era, from 1600 to the present. A distillation of more than fifty years’ engagement with Japan and its history, it is the crowning work of our leading interpreter of the modern Japanese experience. Since 1600 Japan has undergone three periods of wrenching social and institutional change, following the imposition of hegemonic order on feudal society by the Tokugawa shogun; the opening of Japan’s ports by Commodore Perry; and defeat in World War II. The Making of Modern Japan charts these changes: the social engineering begun with the founding of the shogunate in 1600, the emergence of village and castle towns with consumer populations, and the diffusion of samurai values in the culture. Marius Jansen covers the making of the modern state, the adaptation of Western models, growing international trade, the broadening opportunity in Japanese society with industrialization, and the postwar occupation reforms imposed by General MacArthur. Throughout, the book gives voice to the individuals and views that have shaped the actions and beliefs of the Japanese, with writers, artists, and thinkers, as well as political leaders given their due. The story this book tells, though marked by profound changes, is also one of remarkable consistency, in which continuities outweigh upheavals in the development of society, and successive waves of outside influence have only served to strengthen a sense of what is unique and native to Japanese experience. The Making of Modern Japan takes us to the core of this experience as it illuminates one of the contemporary world’s most compelling transformations.

Download or read book Can Japan Compete? written by Michael Porter and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2000-10-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Can Japan Compete?, world-renowned competition strategist Michael Porter and his colleagues explain why American assumptions about Japan have proved so inaccurate, what Japan must do to regain its strength, and what its journey can tell us about how to succeed in the new global economy.The research behind this book began in the early 1990s, at a time when Japan's economic success was overwhelmingly credited to the Japanese government and its unique management policies. Porter and his colleagues started by asking a crucial but previously overlooked question: If Japanese government policies and practices accounted for the nation's extraordinary competitiveness, then why wasn't Japan competitive in many of the industries where those policies had been prominently implemented? The authors and a team of colleagues surveyed a vast array of Japanese industries. This surprising book is the result of their work. The continuing influence of Japanese government and management strategies worldwide makes Can Japan Compete? a must read for anyone competing in the global economy.
