Beginning with its earliest coastal communities through to the spread of Buddhism, the rise of the warlords, the promise and menace of the West and Japans own empire-building, Harding explores how a distinctly Japanese society and culture was forged.</p><p>Drawing on the latest scholarship, <em>A Short History of Japan</em> moves beyond traditional tourist-board clichés to consider Japans own view of its past, values and culture, from ceramics and theatre to food and architecture. The result is a sensory, tactile history, where the reader experiences all the pleasures of a visit to Japan: a bolt of silk or a warm bowl of ramen; the feel and scent of <em>tatami</em> underfoot; the warmth of slipping into a hot spring bath. Harding skilfully shows how these everyday details are intimately bound up with the bigger historical picture, as an expression of the values that have been extraordinarily successful in helping the country to cope with centuries of radical change.</p><p><em>A history that somehow manages to be at once succinct and sweeping: essential reading for anyone interested in this most fascinating of countries</em> - Tom Holland</p><p> Christopher Harding 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025</p>...7120832A Short History of Japan360360https://www.gandhi.com.mx/a-short-history-of-japan-9781837311729/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7104752/image.jpg?v=638818531880670000InStockMXN99999PR_DIAudiolibro2025Inglés
