Japan is arguably today's most successful industrial economy, combining almost unprecedented affluence with social stability and apparent harmony. Japanese goods and cultural products--from animated movies and computer games to cars, semiconductors, and management techniques--are consumed around the world. In many ways, Japan is an icon of the modern world, and yet it remains something of an enigma to many, who see it as a confusing montage of the alien and the familiar, the ancient and modern. This Very Short Introduction explodes the myths and explores the reality of modern Japan, offering a concise, engaging, and accessible look at the history, economy, politics, and culture of this fascinating nation. It examines what the term "modern" means to the Japanese, debunks the notion that Japan went through a period of total isolation from the world, and explores the continuity between pre- and post-war Japan. Anyone curious about this intriguing country will find a wealth of insight and information in these pages. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to IslamBinding Type: Paperback

they work very well - for most of the night. However, cause throat congestion late in the night.

Solid translation, deep dive into ancient texts
Format: Paperback
The layout is clean, and the annotations help a lot, especially if you’re new to these books. Some of the content is pretty wild—giants, watchers, calendars—but that’s what makes it fascinating. This edition is great for both research and personal exploration. Just don’t expect a casual read—these are intense, ancient writings with a lot of mystery.

Unlike anything I’ve read before
Format: Paperback
I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this, especially with the mention of Ina Quant, but it turned out to be a deeply fascinating mix of texts. The Three Jubilees were incredibly detailed and offered timelines and insights I’d never seen in any other scripture. Jasher was a standout—familiar stories but with so much more context. The modern English translation made it all feel accessible without losing the ancient feel. I’m glad the annotations were there too—they really helped make sense of the more complex parts.
