Everyday Things in Premodern Japan: The Hidden Legacy of Material Culture Full Description
Japan was the only non-Western nation to industrialize before 1900, and its leap into the modern era has stimulated vigorous debates among historians and social scientists. In an innovative discussion that posits the importance of physical well-being as a key indicator of living standards, Susan B. Hanley considers daily life in the three centuries leading up to the modern era in Japan. She concludes that people lived much better than has been previously understood -- at levels equal or superior to their Western contemporaries. In an accessible style and with frequent comparisons with Western lifestyles, Hanley illustrates how this high level of physical well-being had important consequences for Japan's comparatively smooth transition to a modern, industrial society.
