About the Book From the 4th century to the 9th century, Japan's many kingdoms and tribes were unified under a centralized government, nominally controlled by an Emperor. In 794, a new capital was established at Heian-kyō (modern Kyoto). Thus began the Heian period, which lasted until 1185. During subsequent centuries the power of the Emperor declined, passing to military clans and their armies of samurai warriors. The Tokugawa shogunate, governing from Edo (modern Tokyo), presided over a prosperous and peaceful era known as the Edo period (1600–1868). A strict class system was imposed on Japanese society which had almost no contact with the outside world. American Commodore Perry's Expedition in 1853–54 ended Japan's seclusion, contributing to the fall of the shogunate and returning power to the Emperor in 1868. The Meiji period transformed Japan into a great power. However, during the 1920s and 30s the military overcame civilian leaders, and with the invasion of Manchuria in 1931, embarked on a course that led to a destructive war with the United States and British Empire, that saw atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Also in this Book Japan (or, Nippon) is an island country in East Asia that lies near the eastern coast of the Asian mainland. Japan stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and China in the southwest. Often called the "Land of the Rising Sun", Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago consisting of some 6,852 islands, the four largest of which are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku. Japan has 20 World Heritage Sites, which include Himeji Castle, historic Ancient Kyoto and Nara, and many opular tourist attractions such as Tokyo and Hiroshima, Mount Fuji, the Niseko ski resort in Hokkaido, and Okinawa. And in this Book Books about "civilization" deal with complex societies characterized by urban development, social stratification, cultural elites, systems of communication like writing, and a perception of domination over the natural environment. Other socio-politico-economic characteristics of civilization include: centralization, domestication of animals, specialization of labour, culturally imbued ideologies, grand architecture, taxes, and dependence on farming.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
