Description: Volume 4 of The Cambridge History of Japan examines the turbulent period from 1550 to 1800.
Review Quotes: "...a project that bears the marks of careful planning and organization by experienced editors who are themselves distinguished historians of Japan....Clearly written and free of jargon, all essays contain topical subheadings that are helpfully placed at the top of the pages as well as within the texts." E. Patricia Tsurumi, Canadian Journal of History
