About the Book

The Story of Japan's History, Culture, and Power, from Jōmon Pottery to the Digital Age Dive into the sweeping, monumental history of Japan-an island nation that has repeatedly reinvented itself through isolation, war, and astonishing technological rebirth. The Great Japanese Tapestry weaves together the threads of ancient Shintō beliefs, the iron discipline of the Samurai, the elegance of the Heian Court, the 260-year peace of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the abrupt modernization of the Meiji Restoration, and the cataclysmic events of World War II. From the earliest Jōmon villages to the global cultural power of "Cool Japan" today, this essential volume explores the political, cultural, and social forces that shaped one of the world's most enduring and fascinating civilizations. Early Foundations: The importation of Buddhism and Chinese bureaucratic models during the Nara and Asuka periods. Ancient Roots: Explore the formation of the Yamato State, the elegance of the Heian Court, and the indigenous beliefs of Shintō. Warrior Rule: Witness the rise of the Samurai class, the establishment of the Shogunate, and the long, controlled peace of the Edo Period. The Age of Warlords: The Sengoku Period, the unification campaigns of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the defining Battle of Sekara. Modern Power: Chart the post-war economic miracle, the challenges of the "Lost Decades," and Japan's emergence as a global cultural powerhouse (Cool Japan). With a deep commitment to narrative clarity and historical accuracy, David Leonard guides the reader through 108 key moments in Japanese history. Leonard successfully bridges the gap between specialized academic knowledge and engaging popular history, making this book an essential resource for understanding contemporary Japan.
