What is a shogun? Who were the samurai and what is the warrior code? What lies behind the Japanese work ethic? From the ancient tea ceremony to the boom and subsequent downturn of its economic prosperity, this uniquely concise introduction to Japan and its history surveys nearly 10,000 years of society, culture, economics and politics. Balancing economic and political information with new insights into the twin spheres of art and religion, Mikiso Hane offers authoritative coverage of all aspects of Japanese life. With a particular focus on the key events of the last 200 years, the author also pays special attention to the changing conditions of those whose history has been so frequently neglected - the women, the peasants, and the lowest order of untouchables. Well-rounded and enlightening, this informative account of Japan and its people will be greatly appreciated by historians, students and all those with an interest in this diverse and enigmatic country.

Bogen fortæller historien om mødet mellem Japan og landene fra vest. Med udgangspunkt i Marco Polos påståede rejse til Japan i 1200-tallet over portugisernes, spaniernes og hollændernes besøg i landet til Matthew Perrys succesfulde åbning af Japan i 1853/54. I denne forbindelse sætter bogen fokus på at forklare baggrunden for og forløbet af den europæiske ekspansion mod øst. Den interne politiske og økonomiske udvikling i Japan inddrages, idet presset udefra naturligt nok fik store indenrigspolitiske konsekvenser. En af følgerne blev, at den reelle politiske magt i en lang periode gled fra kejseren til skiftende shoguner. Bogen vil endvidere inddrage konsekvenserne for Japan af åbningen. Herunder blandt andet Meiji-reformerne. Et særskilt kapitel vil behandle operaen Madame Butterfly , der ganske elegant illustrerer kulturmødet. I bogens afsluttende kapitel vil ’den danske vinkel’ på Japans historie være i centrum. Her vil det blive undersøgt, hvorfor også vi danskere begyndte at interessere os for Japan. Uddrag af bogen Den 8. juli 1853 stævnede fire skibe ind i Uraga havn nær byen Edo i Edo-bugten. Det skete uden til-ladelse fra de japanske myndigheder. Japanerne betegnede de europæiske skibe som ’sorte skibe’. Farven sort refererede dels til den traditionelle farve på europæernes skibe, dels den kulsorte røg, der væltede op af skorstenene på de kulfyrede frem-mede dampskibe. Denne dag var det imidlertid ikke europæiske men amerikanske skibe, der stævnede ind i japansk havn. Tre af skibene, nemlig USS Mississippi, USS Susquehanna og USS Plymouth var svært bevæbnede dampskibe. Det fjerde skib – USS Saratoga – var et svært bevæbnet sejlskib. Alt i alt rådede amerikanerne over 80 kanoner, der med lethed kunne ødelægge store dele af Uraga og Edo by.

This text conveys the turbulent political, economic and social change that over four centuries positioned Japan as a modern world power.
