About this ebook
Kyoto - founded in the year 794 and capital of Japan for fully half that nation's recorded history - sits firmly in the center of Lucas Peyton Thomas's compelling, vivid history of Japan. Here, in vibrant detail, are the stories of the rise and fall of Japan's aristocracy, of the days of the shoguns and samurai, of life in its palaces and moated castles, of a country that once sought to rule China but chose to isolate itself for more than 200 years. Mysterious Japan - a nation known to the West only after the travels of Marco Polo - is unveiled in this engaging book.

A well written book, I imagine myself sitting in a history lecture. It educates us and at the same time entertain us by painting a picture of its people through the centuries. Its old wise coultures, I wonder when if ever there will be piece between China and Japan. It seams they have always fought, yet also conducted commerce and coltural exchange.
