Beschreibung:
Thomas D. Conlan is Professor of Japanese History in the East Asian Studies and History Departments at Princeton University. His research focuses on medieval Japanese culture, war, law, religion, and society. He has also written widely about samurai (warrior) culture in Japan, and the Mongol invasions, as well as the political significance of religious rituals. His publications include Samurai and the Warrior Culture of Japan, 471-1877, From Sovereign to Symbol, Samurai Weapons and Fighting Techniques, 1200-1877, State of War: The Violent Order of Fourteenth-Century Japan, and In Little Need of Divine Intervention.
Kings in All but Name illustrates how Japan was an ethnically diverse state from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries, closely bound by trading ties to Korea and China. It reveals new archaeological and textual evidence proving that East Asia had integrated trading networks long before the arrival of European explorers and shows how mining techniques improved and propelled East Asian trade. The story of the Ouchi rulers contradicts the belief that this was a period of warfare and turmoil in Japan, and instead, proves that this was a stable and prosperous trading state where rituals, policies, politics, and economics were interwoven and diverse.
