Cambridge History of Japan Medieval Japan

Volume 3 is devoted to the period from the final decades of the twelfth century, when the Kamakura bakufu was founded, to the mid-sixteenth century when civil wars raged following the demise of the Muromachi bakufu. The volume creates a rich tapestry of the events that took place during these colourful centuries, when the warrior class ruled Japan, institutions underwent fundamental transformations, the economy grew steadily, and Japanese culture and society evolved with surprising vitality to leave legacies that still characterize and affect contemporary Japan.Yamamura, Kozo is the author of 'Cambridge History of Japan Medieval Japan' with ISBN 9780521223546 and ISBN 0521223547.
