Beschreibung
This book takes the perspective of Mito Domain, one of three branches of Japan’s ruling Tokugawa shogunate, to explore the dynamic history of political reform in early modern Japan. This book, while grounded in Mito, examines the role that this domain and its people played in the birth of the modern Japanese nation-state in the nineteenth century.
