First revealed to Westerners in the chronicles of Marco Polo， Japan was a legendary faraway land defended by a fearsome Kamikaze storm and ruled by a divine sovereign. It was the terminus of the Silk Road， the furthest end of the known world， a fertile source of inspiration for European artists， and an enduring symbol of the mysterious East. In recent times， it has become a powerhouse of global industry， a nexus of popular culture， and a harbinger of post-industrial decline.With intelligence and wit， author Jonathan Clements blends documentary and storytelling styles to connect the past， present and future of Japan， and in broad yet detailed strokes reveals a country of paradoxes: a modern nation steeped in ancient traditions a democracy with an emperor as head of state a famously safe society built on 108 volcanoes resting on the world's most active earthquake zone a fast-paced urban and technologically advanced country whose land consists predominantly of mountains and forests.Among the chapters in this Japanese history book are:●The Way of the Gods: Prehistoric and Mythical Japan●A Game of Thrones: Minamoto vs. Taira●Time Warp: 200 Years of Isolation●The Stench of Butter: Restoration and Modernization●The New Breed: The Japanese Miracle
