Starting in ancient Japan durin Review: Great first dive into Japanese history - I didn’t have high expectations because for the most part it has been hard to find a book that summarises the whole history of Japan. This book manages it. The book provides a complete view of its history, while of course it doesn’t get into detail the book itself provides ample sources and bibliography of the reader wants to further his study. Surprisingly it covers all historical facts and also it provides an insight into Japanese culture, specially for western readers. Chapters on Buddhism, on art, you name it. Helps to understand history and Japanese culture very well. The paperback copy I bought is strong, it’s really good to touch. Highly recommended to start learning Japanese history! Review: ... comment too much on this but it was the best book available for an EPQ that my daughter is ... - To be honest I cannot comment too much on this but it was the best book available for an EPQ that my daughter is currently doing. It contained information that could be used for referencing on the era's from Japanese hiistory that she is studying plus much, much more. But for research use this book and also look elsewhere eg: Japanese Historians and the National Myths, 1600-1945: The Age of the Gods and Emperor Jinmu By John S. Brownlee A Modern History of Japan: From Tokugawa Times to the Present By Andrew Gordon pp and of course questia.com. Good luck. ## Features - Tuttle publishing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #35,531 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in History of Australia & Oceania #83 in Cultural & Ethnic Studies #116 in Anthropology | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 429 Reviews | ## Images ![A History of Japan: Revised Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91jMEf1z8wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great first dive into Japanese history *by J***E on 25 July 2020* I didn’t have high expectations because for the most part it has been hard to find a book that summarises the whole history of Japan.

Good luck. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Japan Deciphered! *by A***L on 13 February 2019* This is one of the most stunning books I have in my whole collection. If I about its language and way of telling is intermediate, not too easy and not too hard. Every section from beginning to late World War 2 era has been described in it. A great buy for all, whether you want quick refrences before travelling to Japan and know their traditions and history especially or for your academic purposes. Binding is also great. Hence a great buy :) ## Frequently Bought Together - A History of Japan: Revised Edition - A Brief History of Japan: Samurai, Shogun and Zen: The Extraordinary Story of the Land of the Rising Sun (Brief History of Asia Series) - The Japanese Mind: Understanding Contemporary Japanese Culture --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/320565039-a-history-of-japan-revised-edition](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/320565039-a-history-of-japan-revised-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
