Very, very detailed..., August 7, 2002

Reviewer:

Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a much needed book for anybody interested in Japanese history. It gives a very detailed account of the policies of the ruling class while at the same time showing the development of the large cities and their free labour market. It shows that Japan already had a large unrban working class before the morden period. The author also gets into the social history and the beliefs that many of the ruling class had about servants during the same period.
