Japanese history
From the middle of the Edo period to around the Meiji Restoration, new technology and new knowledge were brought about by the encounter with Western civilization, and the active curiosity and free spirit of various intellectuals were revealed. This book approaches various aspects of culture such as Western studies, natural history, and fine arts from a comparative cultural point of view -- for example, Durer and Tani Buncho, and the portraits of Shoin Yoshida drawn by Stephenson, the author of Takarajima Island 』, and so on -- and by discussing them in close connection, the figure of' Pax Tokugawa Warner' dynamically emerges.
