1 comments about Pars Japonica: The First Dutch Expedition to Reach the Shores of Japan . . . Brought by the English Pilot Will Adams, Hero of Shogun.
- This is a gem of a book for many reasons. It tells, in a brilliant way, the story how Shogun's Anjin san (the pilot Will Adams) came to Japan. It expands on the terrible dangers of crossing from Europe to the East and focuses on the men who dared this. Its introduction gives a splendid overview of the age of discoveries. Finally the book itself gives one the idea to be in the possession of a very well preserved 16th century book: the yellowish paper, the way it is cut, the illustrations and maps, all adds to the feeling of the story told.
The author is very erudite and has the unique capacity to make complex history a novel.

1 comments about Sources of Japanese Tradition, Vol. 2.
- This book is a wonderful introduction to modern Japanese history. It is an anthology of important sources, beginning with the Shinto revival of the 18th century, through the Meiji Period, World War II, into the 1950s. This is an invaluable reference work for anyone concerned with Japan's development over the last two centuries.
