Annotation: This reprint of the original 1876 second edition is an enchanting and impressive history of Japan. Divided into two parts, this work gives a succinct but thorough history of Japan. The first half of the book covers the history of the island nation from 660 BC through 1872 AD, outlining the myths, legends, religions, and customs of the many periods in Japanese history. The second half of the book focuses on the years between 1870 to 1875, the years in which the author lived in Japan. Here, Griffis details the rapid changes and evolution of modern Japan just after the Meiji Restoration and the fresh arrival of Western culture in the land of the rising sun.
