Origins is to be commended for presenting a reevaluation of the relationship between the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, a process that in-and-of itself aids in understanding the complexity that was fourteenth centufy Japan."Canadian Journal of HistoryMass, Jeffrey P. is the author of 'Origins of Japan's Medieval World Courtiers, Clerics, Warriors, and Peasants in the Fourteenth Century', published 2002 under ISBN 9780804743792 and ISBN 0804743797.
