Book Review: Everyday Life in Traditional Japan
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the perfect introduction to life as it was lived at the time of the Tokugawa Shogunate in 17th Century Japan. It is a must for background reading for anyone interested in all things Japanese.
The length and the level of detail in the book is at just the right level for a quick understanding and the prose of Charles Dunn makes it an effortless read.
Initially the geography and the life of the different classes in society are revealed and the book ends with a description of daily life in the capital, Edo.
