Inhaltsverzeichnis
Tokyo, the Eastern Capital´, has only enjoyed that name and status for 150 years. Before then, it was Edo, a sprawling town by the bay. Earlier still, it was Edojuku, a medieval outpost overlooking farmlands. And, thousands of years ago, its mudflats and marshes were hometo elephants, deer and marine life. Jonathan Clements traces Tokyo´s fascinating history from the first forest clearances and the samurai wars to the hedonistic floating world´ era - and onwards to the twentieth century with its destruction and redevelopment, boom and bust. So entwined is Tokyo with the history of Japan that it can be hard to separate them - its position at the nexus of power and people for over a thousand years has made it crucial to the events of the whole country.mehr
