US: VIZ Media LLC, 2009. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.The spine remains undamaged.(Signed By Author, First Edition) For nearly a century, Japanese writers gave voice to the anxieties of a nat ion headed inexorably toward war. Not just any war, but one that in the min ds of many would eventually--and inevitably--take place with Japan's neighb or across the Pacific, the United States. In the wake of U.S. Navy Commodore Matthew C. Perry's first visit to Japan with his Black Ships in 1853, Japanese novelists and military analysts, alo ng with a few foreign counterparts, produced a dizzying array of prophetic visions of this coming conflict, creating a massive body of popular works t hrough which Japan would debate its own passage, however violent, into the modern, globalized era. Painstakingly researched by one of Japan's preemine nt men of letters, Tokyo Prefecture Vice Governor Naoki…

U.S.A.: University of California Pre, 2001. Hardback. Very Good/Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. This model monograph is the first scholarly study to put the Ainu the nativ e people living in Ezo, the northernmost island of the Japanese archipelago at the center of an exploration of Japanese expansion during the seventeen th and eighteenth centuries, the height of the Tokugawa shogunal era. Inspi red by "new Western" historians of the United States, Walker positions Ezo not as Japan's northern "frontier" but as a borderland or middle ground. By framing his study between the cultural and ecological worlds of the Ainu b efore and after two centuries of sustained contact with the Japanese, the a uthor demonstrates with great clarity just how far the Ainu were incorporat ed into the Japanese political economy and just how much their ceremonial a nd material life not to mention…

Kamikaze squadrons recruited teenage boys and converted them into human bombs. These boys became suicide pilots whose sole purpose was to die for the Emperor. During World War II, the Kamikaze caused the greatest losses in the history of the United States Navy.At age 15, Yasuo Kuwahara entered military service where he suffered through basic training so brutal, nine men of his squadron committed suicide. After qualifying for fighter pilot school, he survived ferocious aerial combat and barely escaped death at the hands of the American enemy. Upon receipt of his final attack orders he returned home near Hiroshima to bid farewell to his family, but amazingly escaped his suicide mission due to one of the cruelest ironies of World War II.

US: University of Hawaii Press, 2013. Hardcover. Good/Very Good. What are we to make of contemporary newspapers in Japan speculating about t he possible connection between aquatic creatures and earthquakes? Of a city council deciding to issue evacuation advice based on observed animal behav ior? Why, between 1977 and 1993, did Japan's government spend taxpayer mone y to observe catfish in aquariums as part of its mandate to fund earthquake prediction research? All of these actions are direct legacies of the 1855 Ansei Edo earthquake, one of the major natural disasters of the period. In his investigation of the science, politics, and lore of seismic events in J apan, Gregory Smits examines this earthquake in a broad historical context. The Ansei Edo earthquake shook the shogun's capital during a year of special religious significance and at a time of particularly vigorous seismic activity. It was also a turning point because, according to the prevailing understanding of earthquakes at the time, it…
