A History of Japan 1615-1867
A History of Japan, 1615–1867 presents a comprehensive account of Japan’s political, social, economic, and cultural development during the Edo period, a long era of stability under Tokugawa rule. The book describes how the Tokugawa shogunate established a centralized feudal system, controlled the daimyo through policies such as sankin-kōtai, and maintained social order through strict class hierarchies and the isolationist policy known as sakoku. Beyond political structures, the book explores economic growth, urbanization, the flourishing of arts and literature, and the rising influence of the merchant class. It also examines internal tensions and the increasing pressure from foreign powers in the 19th century, which eventually contributed to the decline of the shogunate and set the stage for the Meiji Restoration. Through detailed historical analysis, this work offers a thorough understanding of the major transformations that shaped Japan on its path toward modernity.
