From the twelfth to the nineteenth century its political history was dominated by the struggle of competing leagues of fighting men. This paperback volume, comprised of chapters selected from volumes 3 and 4 of The Cambridge History of Japan, traces the institutional development of warrior rule and dominance. Among the topics discussed are the gradual nature of the shift from court aristocrats to military hegemons, the epic battles between the Taira and the Minamoto in the 1180s, the development of a new system of justice, and the fall of Kamakura~which was related to the great invasions launched by the Mongol emperor of China in 1274 and 1281. In addition to discussing the transitions between various regimes, the book describes the proliferation of Akuto, or outlaw bands; the rising level of violence, treachery, and revolt among the military leaders and contenders; and the building of a Tokugawa order. By the eighteenth century, warrior rule had come full circle. Centuries of peace brought a transformation and bureaucratization of the samurai class. Warrior values remained central to the ethical code of modern Japan, however. After the Meiji government was secure, its leaders designed their education and codes to preserve the values of loyalty and fortitude on which their warrior ancestors had prided themselves.

Paperback. Condition: New. Illustrated. Japan was ruled by warriors for the better part of a millenium. From the twelfth to the nineteenth century its political history was dominated by the struggle of competing leagues of fighting men. This paperback volume, comprised of chapters taken from volumes 3 and 4 of The Cambridge History of Japan, traces the institutional development of warrior rule and dominance. Fourteenth-century warfare weakened the aristocratic and clerical control over provincial estates, and the power of military governors grew steadily. By the eighteenth century, however, warrior rule had come full circle. Centuries of peace brought a transformation and bureaucratization of the samurai class. Although samurai malcontents resisted the Meiji Restoration, many of the Meiji government's leaders were former samurai, and warrior values remained central to the ethical code of modern Japan.
