Individuality in Early Modern Japan

Thinking for Oneself

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume challenges several long-standing assumptions regarding Japanese society before the Meiji Restoration of 1868. The author presents evidence of far higher degrees of individuality in early modern Japan than has heretofore been acknowledged, and a thought-provoking Afterword examines how these same aspects of individuality are faring in today's Japan.
