What do we know about Japan? Zen, martial arts, sushi, anime, manga... Its culture has long and deeply penetrated our everyday lives, and yet the country itself still remains a mystery - an island state with difficult relations with the outside world.
Why is the culture of Japan admirable? What is hidden behind its restraint, aesthetics and external harmony? And how did Japan, avoiding colonization, manage to preserve its identity, and later - conquer the world?
British historian Leslie Downer immerses readers in the whirlpool of Japanese history, full of drama, beauty and paradoxes: from the closed Edo period to the era of hypermodernity. On the pages of "The Shortest History of Japan" emperors - descendants of the Sun goddess, samurai and shoguns, court ladies and female warriors, merchants and geishas - those who shaped the cultural face of Japan for centuries come to life. This is a new step into a world where manga and sword, Zen and business, tradition and technology coexist in perfect balance.
Why is it worth reading the book “The Shortest History of Japan”? An accurate and extremely concise non-fiction about Japan, which simply and accessiblely presents the history of a unique island nation. Haiku, manga, martial arts and shoguns - how was Japan able to achieve such a powerful cultural and economic breakthrough and how does it manage to influence the rest of the world and set leading trends?
The author of the book is an expert in Japanese history, who lived in this country for a long time and was trained as a geisha.
