Summary:
"This ambitious work provides a comprehensive review of those two and a half centuries of peace - what the author calls the "Pax Tokugawana" - and the expansion of learning and culture during those years. Marshalling wide-ranging scholarship and unflagging enthusiasm, the author has made a major contribution to comparative cultural studies and provided fresh ways to approach long-accepted ideas. This volume represents the culmination of a lifetime's research by a brilliant, award-winning scholar." -- Back cover.
