  The period of Japanese history before the advent of industrialization and modernism is of tremendous interest to historians and others for the insights it offers to an understanding of the Japan which has emerged in the last ten or so years. The essays in this collection show a fascination with the social context behind the development of aesthetics, drama, language, art and philosophy, whether it be the world of the pleasure quarters or the Shogun's court.
