4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book, esp. for reference, but could use a few maps,
By
This review is from: Sources of Japanese Tradition (Second Edition), Volume One: From Earliest Times to 1600 (Hardcover)
I find this book very readable (and I'm reading it for pleasure/interest). It would probably be helpful to read this after or while reading a general Japanese history, though.
However, for a western reader, the unfamiliar place names do make it a bit of a memory exercise. Perhaps that exercise is a good thing. And in any case, I do enjoy searching on the internet for such things. But often I just want to read uninterruptedly, without piling up notes of things to check. So on balance I think it would be a major help, at minor cost, to add perhaps a half-dozen pages of maps from various eras. Japan, Korea, nearby China. |
