Book Synopsis The Heart of Japan (Routledge Revivals) by : Clarence Ludlow Brownell
Download or read book The Heart of Japan (Routledge Revivals) written by Clarence Ludlow Brownell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of commentaries and reflections on Japanese culture, first published in 1904, was written shortly after the return of two English aristocrats from five years spent immersed in the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. Their intention through these anecdotes – some humorous and charming, others tragic and thought-provoking – was to offer glimpses into the "real inner spirit of the native life," and to provide insights into the remarkable idiosyncrasies of Japanese society during a period of unprecedented change. Touching on such diverse topics as sport, religion, music, censorship, drama and bathing, The Heart of Japan will be of particular interest to students of Japanese, as well as to those intrigued by cultural difference and exchange.

Book Synopsis Ōkubo Diary (Routledge Revivals) by : Brian Moeran
Download or read book Ōkubo Diary (Routledge Revivals) written by Brian Moeran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, this Routledge Revival is a lively and colourful account of life in the Japanese countryside, as seen through the eyes of an anthropologist who did fieldwork there for four years. Part journal, part ethnographic observation, part social and moral commentary, this very personal and sensitive book depicts not only the intricate relationships among the valley people, but also those between them and the anthropologist who has come from the outside world to study them. The book has a dual purpose: to portray the intimate, day-to-day lives of people living in a remote part of Japan, and to describe how one anthropologist tries – and eventually fails – to "become at one" with his informants. Throughout, the book questions the premises of participant observation, which has become a mainstay of modern anthropology.

Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: Industrial Dislocation (1991) by : Daniel Todd
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: Industrial Dislocation (1991) written by Daniel Todd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1991, this book offers a thorough examination of the decline of heavy industry in industrialised countries in the West, which focuses on problems in the shipbuilding industry. Todd argues that three points are central to its demise: industrial life cycles, the international division of labour and the energy crises of 1973. His work begins with despondency in western shipbuilding, going back as early as 1956, when Japan usurped Britain as the pre-eminent ship producer. The book goes on to explore international trade and industry in the second half of the 20th century, with analysis on industrial reorganisation and East Asian conglomerates, diversification with the marine industries, and shipbuilding in Brazil, India, and China.
Book Synopsis The Truth about China and Japan (Classic Reprint) by : Putnam Weale
Download or read book The Truth about China and Japan (Classic Reprint) written by Putnam Weale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About China and Japan The present volume has been written primarily to allow the ordinary reader to see at a glance what the position really is today in Eastern Asia, and to explain precisely why there should be conflict between China and Japan. The essential point - which the writer first insisted upon at great length in The Fight for the Republic in China - is that a dual policy, one policy for the East for the West; that she uses military power and secret loans to advance the first, and diplomacy and publicity the second and that this intricate matter can be understood only by exploring the history of the remote past and linking it up with what is taking place to-day. The fact that the Imperial Conference, which has just concluded its labours, failed to reach any unanimous conclusions on the subject of Japan gives additional point to the arguments which follow, and demands that the important group of documents in the Appendix - particularly the anglo-japanese Treaty - be studied in the light of this new development.

Download or read book The Heart of Japan written by Clarence Ludlow Brownell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heart of Japan: Glimpses of Life and Nature, Far From the Travellers Track, in the Land of the Rising Sun We lived so far from the travellers' track in Japan, - often where no foreigner had been before, - and had seen and heard so much of what seemed to us humorous, tragic, quaint, or thought-worthy, that we dared to believe sometimes that we were getting glimpses of the real inner spirit of the native life - a spirit far different from that of the tourist-worn borders of this ancient and fascinating Land of the Rising Sun. Whether or not we are flattering ourselves unduly, the five years that one of us spent in the interior of Japan, sometimes teaching English in the Government schools, sometimes idling, always living as the natives live, were crowded with joyous entertainment. In striving to reproduce some faint tint of this charm, it seemed wisest to present each episode or impression separately - here a personal experience, there a story heard in some peasant's hut or among the temples, or from some old warrior of the feudal days, and again a ventured comment, picturing different phases of the life of Japan, one after another, as on a screen - seemingly detached, perhaps, yet knit together by the underlying desire to present the native point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About China and Japan The present volume carries the writer's studies regarding the problem of the Far East one step further. It has been written primarily to allow the ordinary reader to see at a glance what the position really is to-day in Eastern Asia, and to explain precisely why there should be conflict between China and Japan. The essential point - which the writer first insisted upon at great length in 'The Fight for the Republic in China' - is that Japan has a double policy, one policy for the East and another for the West; that she uses military power and secret loans to advance the first, and diplomacy and publicity the second; and that this intricate matter can be understood only by exploring the history of the remote past.
