Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an immersive exploration of Japan in the Edo period (1603â"1868), providing a detailed ethnographic account of daily life and customs in the country. The author, a German physician named Engelbert Kaempfer, traveled extensively throughout Japan and observed firsthand the unique culture and traditions of its people. His observations cover a wide range of topics, including social customs, religious practices, arts and crafts, and the political and economic systems of the time. Through Kaempfer's detailed descriptions, readers gain insights into the daily lives of Japanese people from all walks of life, from peasants and merchants to samurai and courtiers.
